Tito didn’t want to live. After his littermate was hit and killed by a truck, Tito did what only a soul-crushed heart would do—he laid down next to the body in the road and waited to join him. He wouldn’t move. He wouldn’t eat. He had given up.

But someone saw him, stopped, and scooped up his grief, his bones, his barely-there body, and gave him a reason to hope again. Since then, this 3yo retriever/chow/collie mix has slowly come back to life in foster care. He’s put on weight, grown stronger, and rediscovered the world with gentle curiosity. His eyes have that golden glow of a dog who’s learning joy again, and his feather-duster curly-q tail rarely stops wagging.

Tito is kind, quiet, soft, and soulful. He’s leash-trained, crate-trained, house-trained, and heart-trained—tuned in to every person and dog around him, and happiest with a pack. He still isn’t sure what to make of cats, but when it comes to people and dogs, he’s pure peace. He lost the one he loved most, but he’s still here, waiting for someone to choose him and to love his tender heart. He’s got so much love to give, he just needs someone to give it to: apply on our website to meet him www.espanolahumane.org. Española Humane is open to walk-in adopters 11 a.m.–4:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday at 108 Hamm Parkway in Española.

Sally’s heart is bigger than her hurts. At just 3 months old, she arrived with three broken legs—both femurs and a tibia—injuries her tiny body had begun to heal on its own, slowly and painfully. But Sally didn’t give up. She purrs. She plays. She leans into love with a spirit that defies everything she’s been through. Her back legs healed awkwardly, but that doesn’t slow her down—she bounces, she zooms, she thrives. Sally is resilience wrapped in fur. And she’s ready to start fresh, in a home that sees her not as broken, but as brave. Come meet her. She’s waiting—funny legs, fierce heart, and all.
