Excuse me with those ears and that cow belly and oh my dawg those speckled toes?! Michelle is as smart and sweet as she is gorgeous and shiny – and she’s available for adoption from the Puppy Patch at Ojo Santa Fe. Michelle goes home spayed, UTD on vaccines, microchipped, and with six months of heartworm prevention for a reduced adoption fee of just $25. Apply on the Española Humane website and they will schedule an appointment for you at the resort in Santa Fe. www.espanolahumane.org, 505.753.8662. Courtesy/EH

No, we don’t have a baby lynx available for adoption – Leonidas is a domestic kitten, but he could pass for a lynx. This baby would love to make your home his own before the holidays, and he’s available to walk-in adopters 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday-Saturday at Española Humane. 505.753.8662, www.espanolahumane.org.
