Whenever you're having a bad day, Moose will put a smile on your face. This handsome boy with the silliest ears is a little shy when first meeting new people. Once he knows you and can tell you want to be his friend, he will crawl right in your lap and be your best pal! Once his true personality shines, you will have a constant companion- Moose is well behaved in staff offices and loves to lounge at your feet. This sweet boy walks gently on leash and just needs to learn that the world is not so scary. Moose may be fine with a calm dog who allows him the time and space he needs to feel comfortable- bring your dog to meet him and we can see if they're a good match. Come meet Moose and fall in love today! Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 55 Age: 1yrs 7mths 3wks

I'm Charlie!!! I was dumped in a rural area and the folks who dumped me me thought they had got the best of me. It is true I was very sad and very scared not knowing where I was. I was attacked by other dogs and was so hungry and people were very mean and would chase me away. One day I came across a house with happy dogs playing outside so I jumped into the yard to play. Apparently I found the home of a rescue lady haha and once I knew she meant me no harm I would not leave and she didn't have the heart to take me to the shelter. She did try to find my owner and let the shelter know I was here but my people must have forgot all about me once they left. So now I am here and my foster mom says I am just the cutest guy ever. Anyhow, please scroll down for the boring information about me the rescue lady said people might want to know. Please be aware birthday and breeds listed are our best guesses based on looks and temperament Estimated DOB 7/1/2023 Size – about 45 lbs History- This little by was dumped in a rural area  Temperament- Super sweet, very smart, loves attention, and loves to play pretty much non-stop Energy Level- He is pretty high energy however he likes to sit and enjoy the flowers at time as well.

Commands/Obedience Level- He knows basic commands  Housetrained/Crate Trained- So far he has been perfect.

Story
PLUTO is a curious semi-feral dog who likes other dogs. With humans, he'll sniff your hand through a fence, but if there's no fence, he keeps a short distance. He is a sweet dog. While he's getting to know you, he'll be fine in a secure yard with housing and hanging out with you. As you progress in your bond to each other he'll make his way into living in the house with you. He's a diamond in the rough, he's sweet. He needs a hero - a human that will commit to him and gain his confidence and bond with him. When he was a puppy, a human poisoned his fur brother and fur grandmother. He is wary of some humans because of this. He has many dog friends - Koda and Arby of two of his bff's. His adoption fee includes his neutering, vaccines, deworming, microchip. He was born on a reservation one and a half years ago. We are still Covid-cautious and have specific adoption and Covid rules listed below. Revised adoption policyDue to Covid -19 pandemic and social distancing requirements, we've revised our adoption policy. First, please email (desertpawsnm@gmail.com) to inquire before you fill out the online application to see if the pet is still available. (Please do not call or text). We'll send you a link to the application. We are unable to do multi-dog/cat meetgreets or adoption events at this time or bring multiple animals to your house to choose from, so please only inquire if you're serious about adopting this particular animal. If you're just shopping around with several shelters and rescues, please let us know this. If your application is approved (which 'could' take up to one week) then we will contact you to set up a Zoom chat or ph call to answer questions/clarify anything and set up a day/time to bring the pet to you. Since we can't come into the home due to Covid-19, we ask that you send us pics /video of your home/yard/living area/current pets. We will discuss with you about meeting your other pets. At the meeting/adoption at your house (outside) please wear a mask (as will we), keep to a properly distanced social distance and have hand sanitizer and your own leash. We adopt locally to Abq, Santa Fe, Los Alamos, White Rock and Rio Rancho areas. No out of area adoptions inquiries please. The animals are fostered and our foster families like to know their fosters are happy, healthy, and cared for during their lifetime. We appreciate staying in touch periodically (just a pic, holiday card, social media, pics/videos etc will make our work worthwhile :-)) Our volunteers and adoption board are working diligently with an overload of inquiries since Covid to match families and forever pets. Our workload on the reservations has also increased. We're sorry, but if you email us with questions that are already answered here or fill out an application that does not fit the parameters of our procedures we will not be replying to you. Thank you for your understanding on this! Thank you - we look forward to hearing from you and having another furbaby united with a furever family!April 4, 2024, 12:03 am

Story
I adopted Jackson in around August of 2021 from the Bernalillo County Animal Shelter to be my second dog. He is lovable, cuddly, and sweet. He loves affection, cuddling, and being right next to you. He is very attentive and comes on command. I have crate trained him successfully in the past. When we leave the house he occasionally has some mild separation anxiety which is exhibited by jumping at the windows. He is in good health and has been well fed. We are looking to rehome him only because of busy work schedules and no longer able to work from home. He is an adorable handsome pup that loves a good belly rub.
