Story
Snowball is a gentle, loving girl with a tender heart and a deep capacity for devotion. She is hearing-impaired and only detects very sharp sounds, so she relies on visual cues and a few simple hand signals to communicate. Because she can’t hear voices, she may seem cautious when first meeting new people — but once she feels safe and understands your love, she bonds deeply and will happily become your constant little copilot. Snowball grew up around larger dogs, but being unable to hear makes her easily startled, so she would feel most secure as the only dog in the home. In a calm, predictable environment where she can relax and build trust at her own pace, her sweet personality truly shines. She enjoys running around the yard, going for walks or hikes, and curling up on the couch for quiet companionship. Snowball isn’t looking for chaos — she’s looking for her person. Once she chooses you, her loyalty is absolute, and she will stay faithfully by your side through everything. We estimate Snowball is about 2 years old. Her adoption fee includes her spay, vaccines, deworming, and microchip.  Snowball would thrive in a calm home in the Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, White Rock, or Los Alamos area with a patient individual or family who understands that trust is built gently and lovingly over time. The reward is extraordinary: a deeply devoted companion who will love you with her whole heart. If you believe Snowball could be the missing piece in your life, please email desertpawsnm@gmail.com to check availability and begin the application process. We would be honored to introduce you to this beautiful girl and help her find the safe, peaceful home she so deeply deserves.   A note about having a deaf family dog: (a good reference is Deaf Dogs Rock) “these dogs are not 'broken' but simply communicate differently, using high-value treats, hand signals, and intense visual connection to bond. 'Twists' include dogs previously labeled 'bad listeners' (actually deaf) becoming ideal, highly trained family members, or, in one case, a blind/deaf dog playing a key role in a wedding. “   Key Aspects of Fostering Deaf Dogs: Communication: Rely on hand signals, facial expressions, and body language rather than verbal commands. Bonding: Deaf dogs often form an intense, trust-based bond with their handlers, making them highly attuned to their environment. Misconceptions: They are often overlooked or deemed 'unadoptable' in shelters, but frequently turn out to be affectionate and trainable. Common 'Twist': Many foster parents who expect a difficult experience end up keeping the dog ('foster fail') due to the deep and wonderful connection formed.   Memorable Deaf Dog Stories: The Wedding Guest: Benjamin, a deaf and blind dog, walked between his foster parents at their wedding ceremony. The 'Bad Listener': A dog returned for being a 'bad listener' was found to be deaf, eventually becoming a cherished, well-trained pet. The Therapy Dog: A deaf dog named Cole became a therapy dog, using his focus to support children.   These stories highlight that while they require specialized, often visual-based training, deaf dogs are capable of bringing joy and deep connection to their guardians/family.March 11, 2026, 6:39 pm

Story
Strudel was found nursing her babies and in a severe state of neglect. She was skin and bones, and since being in the care of Bosque Buddies has almost doubled her weight. She has been a great mom and is great with other dogs. She likes kids, too! We did get her dna tested and I posted the results in the photos. She did test positive for the dwarfism gene so that’s why she is so small even for being mixed with so many giant breeds. She is looking for her perfect forever home. If you are interested please go to bbanimalrescue.org and fill out an adoption application or send us an email at contact@bbanimalrescue.org **Adoption fee covers 3 DAPP vaccines + 2 lepto vaccines, rabies vaccine, bordetella vaccine, microchip, and spay** **Adoptions are at events or by appointment only

Story
Bertie needs a foster or adoptive home. This sweet girl has a constant smile on her face and a heart filled with joy, despite a rough start to life. Bertie came into PACA’s care by chance - One of our volunteers was leaving dinner and asked to pet the dog sitting outside. The man with her explained that it was his friend’s dog who had passed away and that he was currently experiencing homelessness. He said he was having a hard time sleeping at night, worried that someone was going to hurt or steal her. When our volunteer mentioned her work with PACA, he asked if she would find her a safe home. We immediately took her to the vet for care and got her a much-needed bath. Bertie is currently safe in boarding, but would do much better in a home. The vet believes she is about 4 years old and just under 60lbs. She is very social and sweet/gentle with kids. If you're interested in meeting Bertie, come to our adoption event on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month from 11am-2pm, located at 6300 San Mateo NE in the south Sprouts parking lot. Alternatively, we can arrange a Private Meet-and-Greet with the foster parent and your household with a completed application. Complete an easy, no-obligation online application and take the first step towards welcoming Bertie into your home by clicking on this link https://form.jotform.com/222028369049155 The $250 adoption fee covers all vaccines, spay/neuter, microchip, and heartworm/tick-borne illness testing.
