Dashing Doug is soon to “paw-role” from our Paws in the Pen training program at the Penitentiary of New Mexico! After 8-weeks of 24/7 training partnered with our most experienced inmate trainer, this 1-year-old 46lb boxer is getting a diploma in doggie decorum. Doug is a certified smile specialist: his silly antics, endless affection, and boundless energy make him the ultimate four-legged fun factory, and thanks to his top-notch training, this boy has really blossomed. Doug is a social butterfly with dogs, but he politely requests a feline-free future. A lively, active household with a playful pup-pal would make Doug’s propeller tail wag to the moon and back! He is house/leash/crate trained; he’s neutered, vaccinated, microchipped & will have six months of free heartworm prevention; and he goes home with an impressive list of cues and commands, Biothane collar and leash, plus four free training sessions so you can learn what your dog knows, AND an invitation to weekly discounted drop-in classes! Apply for Doug on our website and we can spring him from the Pen for a meet-up! Courtesy photo

Sevi is a 16-year-old gentleman with a heart full of love and a story to tell. This charming senior was brought to us by a kind-hearted Good Samaritan who found him wandering in their yard. When he arrived, Sevi wasn’t feeling his best, sporting a grape-sized mass above his right eye. Thanks to some TLC, he’s now looking and feeling amazing for his age! Sevi’s distinguished smile hints at a dental procedure he had before coming to our shelter, and though he’s missing some teeth, that doesn’t stop him from enjoying his meals, or his life. His ideal forever home is one that’s strictly indoors, where he can bask in the sunlight and soak up the warmth of a loving family. If you’re ready to offer Sevi the golden years he deserves, he’ll reward you with purrs, companionship, and a lifetime of gratitude. Courtesy photo
