We haven't settled on a date for our January clinic yet, but we don't expect to be able to offer rabies shots until March. (All other services will be available.) If your pet needs a rabies vaccination, here's a lower-cost option coming up in Rio Rancho. One of our volunteers vet partners works at this practice.

Don't forget about our third adoptable dog, Shandi Willow! She may require a little patience while she gets to know new people, but she'll give you a big return on that investment in love and companionship!
Shandi Willow is a playful, loyal, smart young adult female terrier mix. She is looking for a forever home where she can feel safe, at ease, loved and where she is shown patience and given time to adjust to her new family.
She's been looking for a long time.
Her original adoptive human family loved her unrelentingly for 6 months, but the 3-year-old family dog could not tolerate Willow’s competition for attention and resources, and the older pup became increasingly violent toward Willow. Willow is now with her 3rd foster family and has adjusted beautifully to life with two other dogs. She lived with three cats in her adoptive home and coexisted very peacefully and happily with them.
Willow is anxious around strangers. Her new family will need to create space and a sense of security for her when being introduced to new people, and out in public. With continued training and patience, she will become more and more well-adjusted around strangers.
Once a person has gained her trust, Willow is eager to please and is the sweetest and most affectionate little snuggle pup. She is wonderful company around the house and loves to be on your lap or at least nearby. Willow is adventurous and loves to go for hikes and is great on a leash. She knows and responds to the cues come, sit, wait, leave it. She is fully house-trained, crate trained and uses a doggie door with ease.
To meet her, fill out the application at https://petstablished.com/adoptions/personal-information?application_type=Adopt&donation_section=false&form_id=25570&form_type=generic&generic_form_id=25570&pet_id=784735§ion=1&selected_pets=false

Why haven't Jack and Jill been adopted? We don't get it. They're sweet and affectionate; good with kids, other dogs and cats; fixed; vaccinated; crate-trained and house-trained (although they may need a little update training for a new home). They're about a year old, and available separately, although we'll also consider applications for them going to a home together. Their foster mom weighed them, and they've grown to 30 pounds (Jill) and 35 pounds (Jack). Since Jack scared us with an escape when he first arrived at their newest foster home, both dogs now wear tracking tags on their collars and will take them to their forever home. They've adjusted nicely to their foster home since, and there have been no more escapes.
If you'd like to meet them, please fill out the adoption application at https://petstablished.com/adoptions/personal-information?application_type=Adopt&donation_section=false&form_id=25570&form_type=generic&generic_form_id=25570&pet_id=784735§ion=1&selected_pets=false&fbclid=IwY2xjawHDgaRleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHSGinDH2XOXgbh7xfUngdNFn3cQjAhDt39k2hbq-Suic-mUglWsPvSW9XQ_aem_8KPWq_L6Cq2exxwlWZ5mTQ

Have you heard? We're turning 42! December 8th is our 42nd clinic 😮😮

⬇️ Details below on how to come celebrate ⬇️


‼️ We're looking at possibly selling out this weekend, so PLEASE schedule your appointments! There are a few we noticed that only signed up for one service and left a note they want rabies, too. We need you to go back through and schedule/pay. ‼️

Not our dog but sharing to help:
Colorado Bullies and More Rescue is looking for someone to quarantine foster Freya, a female pittie rescued from Roswell. She's coughing. It's suspected kennel cough, since the Roswell shelter hasn't had a case of distemper in a little while, but no diagnosis yet. If you can help, please fill out the foster application at https://www.cbmrescue.org/

Update: The adopter got advice from a trainer specializing in huskies, and she's trying again to keep Camilla.

We desperately need a foster or foster to adopt for Camilla, even if it's for just a couple of weeks to give us more time to look for a more long-term situation. Her adopter is unable to keep her any longer.
Please contact us if you can help and fill out the foster agreement; link in the post below. We'll provide all supplies.

Camilla needs a foster or adopter. Her current owner is returning her because of multiple escapes, leaving the adopter concerned about Camilla's ongoing safety. Camilla is almost a year old and house-trained. She has successfully lived with other dogs.
The foster or adopter should be experienced with huskies, or at least large, athletic, intelligent working breeds. They require a lot of time and attention, as well as extremely secure yards.
We'll provide food, a crate and other supplies to a foster, and will pay for the spay whether she's fostered or adopted next. We have foster to adopt and trial adoption options.
If you're interested in fostering, please fill out the form at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/13OOzI3rY0tQhTyd3ejvsEpeQh6vc1KaEU5sDHdozTis/viewform?fbclid=IwY2xjawGaEwxleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHVYzWt3KIXMyKlG9bA4NeLIrQlXj4eu8oXD1RkoXfvaCT8IExnc8kryHfA_aem_5CnDaAG2VE630aruGnMZVg&edit_requested=true

If you're interested in adopting, please fill out the form at https://petstablished.com/adoptions/personal-information?application_type=Adopt&donation_section=false&form_id=25570&form_type=generic&generic_form_id=25570&pet_id=784735§ion=1&selected_pets=false&fbclid=IwY2xjawGjaZpleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHSGinDH2XOXgbh7xfUngdNFn3cQjAhDt39k2hbq-Suic-mUglWsPvSW9XQ_aem_8KPWq_L6Cq2exxwlWZ5mTQ

⛔️ SCAM ALERT ⛔️

To our fellow rescues, please be alert of this scam.

This person is preying on rescues. He inquires about donating, sends a check for greater than he meant to, and rushes you to cash it and refundthe difference. The check then bounces and the poor rescue is out that difference.

We smelled something stinky from the get-go and never lost out of money, but we want to alert our community!

If it's too good to be true, it probably is.

Help share with your local rescues to save some heartache!

We want to wish Snickerdoodle a happy third birthday!

Snickers was being given way out of a trunk at Walmart on Carlisle as a tiny puppy. Our founder saw the "puppies 4 sale" sign and rushed over. This was the only guy left. $20 later she was Facetiming with her best friend telling her she just got a foster puppy 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

It took about 12 seconds with Snickers on FaceTime for his future mama to fall in love with him and decide that would be her soul doggy.

Arrangements were made to vet Snickerdoodle and get medical clearance to cross state lines.

Away they went, 803 miles to be exact.

Snickerdoodle is now a 107lb goofy lap dog who is loyal, snuggly, and loving.

He may just be your average "New Mexico Brown Dog" but to his family in the small suburb of Kansas City, Mo., he's their whole world.

Happy gotcha day you goofy twit! Thank goodness I traded the car in that you pooped in on that 12 hour road trip 🤣 (not his fault, it was cold and he refuseddd to go on his walk so he made a cozy bathroom trip on my fresh seats).

Don't forget that we're doing a fundraiser, selling doggo painting kits at our vaccine clinic. For $10 your pup can create his/her own masterpiece, like the ones in the background by PLR alumni Arwen and Queso. We're here til 2!

Hey yall.

Im pretty disheartened to have to make this post.

Our monthly clinics are high volume, low cost that serve anyone and everyone that comes. We turn none away, unless we run out of supplies.

We're all volunteer. We have day jobs and gice up our weekends to prep and facilitate this. We rarely break even because the cost of our vaccines are so cheap, meaning we often pay out of our own pocket to order the supplies needed.

We do it because we love it.
We believe vaccines will ultimately cut down on communicable diseases being transmitted, ultimately costing lives.

We do ask you to sign up with an appointment time. Before we did this, people would wait one hour or more in line because there was no regulation. Now we have appointments every ten minutes, allowing bursts of business. The wait is 15 minutes or less.

Please understand even with an appointment, waiting is necessary.

Please be nice to your volunteer staff. We truly are doing our best to provide the best customer service and vaccinate your babies in the most efficient way possible.

Come on out and say hi, were here til 2.

Did you know your dogs can paint? Yup, they can. To raise funds for our vaccine clinics and the remaining few dogs in our care, we're selling doggo painting kits for $10 at our low-cost vaccination clinic tomorrow (11 am to 3 pm at Boofy's on Cutler Ave.). You don't have to have a pet vaccinated to buy one. The kits contain supplies and instructions to let your dog paint by licking peanut butter off a sealed zipper plastic bag with non-toxic paint and a small canvas inside. You might even get your cat to try it if you swap wet food for peanut butter.
Here are a few masterpieces from PLR alumni to give you an idea of what your furry friends can do.
We're planning to offer a few completed paintings by PLR dogs soon, so keep your eye out for that!
