Age. Beauty. He's got it all. What Dexter doesn't have, is a home to call his own 🏠

Dexter is an 8-year-old, 89lb Great Pyrenees. He was transferred to AHNM last week from Bernalillo County Animal Care. He is a smart, sweet, and gentle giant. Easy on leash and unbothered by most things, Dexter wears his age well, content to be around familiar faces and new people.

As a senior dog and with the typical strong will of Great Pyrenees, he can be stubborn about where he wants to be, but it only takes a bit of gentle coaxing or a tasty treat to convince him to follow you. He's an easygoing guy who would thrive with room to roam or a sunny spot where he can take a nap. Dexter's adoption fee has been sponsored by Optum New Mexico, who are working to give senior pets like him a better chance at finding a home outside of the shelter.

Meet and adopt Dexter at Animal Humane New Mexico's Main Campus Location!

Meet our Classical 95.5 KHFM Pet of the Week, Neo (A #13767)! This active and handsome pup could be the one 🐾

Neo is a 1-year-old, 54lb Boxer who has grown up in the shelter environment. He first came to Animal Humane New Mexico in September as a transfer from Sandoval County Animal Services. He was adopted briefly in October but was returned as the household was not a great fit for him. He can be high energy and sometimes mouthy, particularly around his food. He is still a puppy at heart and a shelter long-timer which can be hard on a social dog like him.

Neo is very smart and affectionate and enjoys receiving treats and physical touch. He knows cues like, "sit," and would benefit from lots of opportunities to play and learn from you. He would do best with older children or those who can give him his space when he needs it.

Most importantly, Neo deserves a home outside of the shelter environment. It's the only life he has known and he would thrive if you or someone you know could give him the opportunity to be their perfect dog.

He is available for adoption at AHNM's Main Campus Location 💚

That incredible smile you're seeing belongs to Layla (A #13894), a 1-year-old, 57lb American Pit Bull Terrier who has been at Animal Humane New Mexico since September. She was briefly out of the shelter but her adoption didn't quite stick. Layla can display some jumpy and mouthy behaviors so she needs plenty of outlets for her energy and stress. Luckily she loves to get out for walks and play and has done well with other dogs.

Layla would be a great fit for an active household who is able to meet both her energy and emotions. She is a smart and attentive dog who can be very sweet, affectionate, and responsive to training. To help reduce further barriers between Layla and her forever home, her adoption fee has been generously sponsored by her friends, Stellar Senior Housing Experts.

Meet Layla at Animal Humane's Main Campus Location and fall in love with the dog behind that gorgeous smile.

They grow up so fast 🥺

Now 1-year-old Lisa was a puppy in the shelter not too long ago. Adopted in February, she made her way back to AHNM in October. She has grown to a healthy 42lbs but has remained the same smart, sweet, stunning girl she was when she was small enough to cuddle into your arms. She has learned to sit, stay, and come when called and is fond of any treat you care to share with her.

Lisa unfortunately suffered from a condition known as happy tail syndrome, in which dogs wag their tails so much they become injured. She received a tail amputation at Animal Humane's Veterinary Clinic and has recovered with a nub that won't cause her harm when wagged.

Lisa is a sweetheart and a dream that would love to call your home her own. Please come meet her and bring her home so that she no longer has to grow up in the shelter.

As stilty as he is silly, you have to meet our BIG 98.5 Pet of the Week, Encino (A #11226)!

Encino is a 1-year-old, 71lb German Shepherd Cross with big puppy energy! He is very sweet and a great cuddler but can be nervous around strangers and new dogs. After getting to know you or meeting a calm canine, Encino opens up to show his true, gentle nature. He enjoys going on walks, snuggles on the couch, and getting lots of treats.

The shelter environment has contributed to Encino's anxieties - Finding the right home would improve his life so much! A slow introduction and meet-and-greet with any other potential household pups is required to be sure they will get along, or he would thrive as an only dog.

Come meet Encino at Animal Humane's Main Campus Location and bring him to his forever home ❤️🐾
