Tabitha is a 7-year-old tortie who survived the hard part and is ready for the soft landing. She came to us injured and out of options, lost her tail to save her life, and healed with quiet grit and grace. Now she’s luminous, lovely, and very much herself. She has yellow eyes like a winter moon, a nine-pound frame, and a heart that opens deeply once trust is earned. Affectionate and chatty on her terms, Tabitha loves closeness—but she’ll let you know when she’s had enough. The shelter is tough on her nerves; in a calm, patient home, she blooms into something truly tender. Tabitha has excellent litterbox manners and would need slow, thoughtful introductions to other pets. Her missing tail is just a footnote. The rest of her story is waiting to be written—with you. Española Humane is open to walk-in adopters 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday at 108 Hamm Parkway in Española. Visit www.espanolahumane.org. Courtesy/EH

Walter is 1yo sugarcube shepherd mix powered by joy, zoomies, and a whole lot of heart. He lives for people, praise, and being wherever the fun is! He’s still a big puppy, so his excitement sometimes pops out as enthusiastic hellos—but he’s learning the art of sit, wait, and polite greetings with treats and guidance. Walter is going to be an absolute star. He’ll thrive with an active human who’s ready for walks, adventures, and helping a young dog grow into his best self. This heckin’ handsome boy is sunshine on legs and jubilee wrapped in fur, a people-loving sidekick who’s eager to learn and always up for the next thing—we can’t wait for you to meet him! Española Humane is open to walk-in adopters 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday at 108 Hamm Parkway in Española. Visit www.espanolahumane.org. Courtesy/EH
