This sweet girl had the BEST day out recently—she hiked at Tin Mine, did a 5k walk, visited the park, and showed off her playful, cuddly side. 🐾 Moana is leash trained, potty trained, loves car rides and hikes, and can even do tricks like sit and paw! 🐕✨

She’s a little shy at first, but once she warms up, she’s the most affectionate, attention-loving pup you’ll ever meet. ❤️ Moana loves hugs, jumping up to say hi, and playing with her favorite stuffies.

If you’re looking for a loyal, playful companion who just needs a little patience to shine, Moana is your girl! 🏡 She is about 2.5 years old, weighs 60 pounds, and is already spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. Her adoption is FREE thanks to BISSELL Pet Foundation's adoption event!💚💜🧡

🥶 Freezing temperatures TONIGHT! Do the right thing and keep your ENTIRE family safe and warm inside—that includes your pets! ❄️ For more cold weather pet tips visit: https://elpasoanimalservices.org/2024/11/08/press-release-el-paso-animal-services-urges-pet-owners-to-plan-for-cold-weather-safety/
⁠
While pets can be outside and tethering is allowed, remember, ALL Texas dogs are protected by the Safe Outdoor Dogs Act:⁠
⁠
1️⃣ Access to adequate shelter - adequate shelter is defined as being well constructed with a roof, enclosed sides, a doorway, and a solid, level floor raised at least 2 inches from the ground. There should be no cracks or openings in the structure other than the entrance and it must be wind-proof and rain-proof.⁠
⁠
2️⃣ Access to drinkable water - with freezing temperatures, water can freeze overnight or turn the water into an undrinkable “slush,” check your pets water throughout the night and replace it as necessary.⁠
⁠
3️⃣ Requires safe restraints - this act bans the use of chains or heavy weights as restraints for dogs outside. Other means of restraint, such as cable tie-outs, may be used so long as they are correctly attached to a collar or harness designed to restrain a dog. Dogs also must be able to access their shelter and water when restrained.⁠
⁠
🗣 If you see negligent care or possible animal ordinance violations, please call 3-1-1 and provide as much information as possible including your contact information in the case an APO needs to follow up with you for additional details.

“I got Kanna in September 5, it was about a month after my dog I had for 13 years passed away, i had a dream she came to visit me and had puppies with her. So one day my best friend and I went to the shelter. Kanna was the first one they put in my arms and it was love at first sight I knew she was coming home with me. She’s been such a key part in healing my heart, she’s funny, goofy, kind, loving, crazy, and has just been one of the most amazing things that’s happened to me this year”

Thank you for giving this sweet girl the loving home that all dogs deserve! Happy Tails and Happy Holidays to Kanna and her pawesome family! 🧡

We met Waxx in May after he'd been left tied to a tree in the Lower Valley. We thought he would be adopted quickly, but he's going on 200 days with no interest! This guy isn't very comfortable in the shelter, and we'd love to find him a home that can help him get back to himself. ❤️‍🩹

We believe Waxx may have some allergies and food sensitivities, causing him chronic ear infections and eye inflammation. He has started a new diet to see if it helps, and he will go home with a bag of his hydrolyzed food. We'd love to send this boy home with someone that loves and understands fluffy, independent huskies.

Waxx does well with other dogs with slow introductions and loves to run around in the park. He loves to chase squeaky toys, but prefers not to bring them back. It's all about the chase for this boy! Waxx can be shy with new people, but he happily coexists with everyone. He also does well for baths and grooms.

Waxx is 3 years old, weighs 50 pounds, and is already neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He is located at 5625 Confetti Drive, El Paso, Texas, open 12pm-6pm every day. His adoption is FREE thanks to the BISSELL Pet Foundation's adoption event!💜💚🧡

We’ve seen a rise in parvo cases entering the shelter, and we need your help to keep our community’s pets safe! Parvo is a highly contagious and potentially deadly virus that spreads quickly, especially among unvaccinated dogs. The good news? It’s preventable with a simple vaccine!

💉 Vaccinating your pet not only protects them but also helps reduce the spread of this dangerous virus in our community. It’s a critical step in keeping all pets healthy.

📅 Visit elpasoanimalservices.org/calendar to see our upcoming low-cost vaccine events
🏥 Need a vet? Check out epvma.org to find a trusted veterinarian near you.

Let’s work together to stop the spread of parvo and keep our furry family members safe. ❤️

Need a dog to watch TV with you? Roy sure would be thankful to spend the holidays at home instead of at the shelter!

Roy is a staff and volunteer favorite for a lot of reasons. He's extremely friendly with literally everyone. He LOVES kids and was amazing with them on his day out. He walks well on leash, does well with other dogs, and is so ready for a place to call home. Roy is the perfect family dog and he will make someone so happy. 🥰

Roy is 3 years old, weighs 50 pounds, and is already neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He's at 📍5625 Confetti Drive, open 12pm-6pm every day. His adoption fee is free thanks to BISSELL Pet Foundation adoption event!🧡💚💜

Check out this Great Dane puppy! “Esperanza is very energetic, she absolutely loves socializing with other dogs and kids.

She has a very deep and loud voice, she's potty trained, not kennel trained, and she does ok in car rides (she whines a bit).

She’s good with small animals like puppies and cats, but because of her size and energy I wouldn't leave them alone unsupervised (she has stepped on the cats by accident before, she looked like she felt bad after).

She is not leash trained, she throws herself on the floor and plays dead whenever we try to take her out.”

At just 7 months old, Esperanza is already a very big girl, and will be a VERY big girl when fully grown. She is already spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated.

To meet Esperanza, email [email protected] with your contact information. Her adoption is free thanks to BISSELL Pet Foundation’s adoption event. 💜🧡💚

MEET OUR LONGEST STAYS! These babies are in foster homes, still looking for their forever family! Fosters, tell us about your foster pets in the comments!❤

Adopting a dog from a foster home is awesome for a lot of reasons: already accustomed to living at home, we know everything about the pet to make sure it's a good fit for your family, less decompression time, and more!

If you'd like to meet any of these pups, please email [email protected] with their A number and your contact information so we can connect you with their foster family. Adoptions are FREE thanks to BISSELL Pet Foundation's adoption event. 💜💚🧡

When you adopt a foster pet, you save three lives - the pet you adopt, the pet that goes into foster care next, and the pet that takes the next shelter kennel. Let's save some lives!

This beautiful girl is Blossom. Blossom is having a very tough time in the shelter, and she needs a patient, understanding home to help her feel better. Blossom is about 8 years old. She came in as a microchipped stray, but the information on the chip was not up to date, and no one came to look for Blossom. Blossom has a very, very upset tummy. She has been with us for a month, and we believe the stress of the shelter on a senior gal is causing her intense gastrointestinal distress. This is no way for such a beautiful cat to live. If you can help Blossom blossom, please come take her home. Her adoption fee is waived thanks to BISSELL Pet Foundation Empty the Shelters - Holiday Hope Event from December 1st through 17th. Blossom is at 📍5001 Fred Wilson, El Paso, Texas, open 11am-6pm every day. She is already spayed, chipped, and vaccinated. 🐾Blossom: A57163045 #adoptep #elpaso #elpasotexas #elpasotx #eptx #blossom #seniorcat #stressed #changealife #fluffy

Seza quietly became one of our longest stays this year after coming to the shelter last Christmas. Her caretakers passed away, she came to the shelter, and she waited, and waited, and waited. 💔 Then she went to a foster home, and she blossomed. Seza is potty trained, walks like a dream on leash, and is on the calm side of life. She’s good with kiddos, and wants love from everyone. She’s a cuddler. 💜🥺 Seza loves other dogs and has lived with large and small dogs in the past. She’s an easy addition to any household, and she’s just looking for a quiet home to snuggle in. 🐶 Seza is 2 years old, weighs 50 pounds, and is already spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated.

PUPDATE: Gia has been adopted!! We still have Wallace and Noel as our longest stays needing a forever home with similar stories to Gia! Come meet them at 5625 Confetti Drive, open 12-6 every day! Today marks Gia’s 300th day in the shelter. 300 days of waiting, of watching her friends get adopted, of watching the world pass her by. After holding on for so long, Gia has started to struggle. 💔 Gia needs a home. A family. People who love her. She is such a smart, loving girl who wants to please her people more than anything. But after so long without her own people, Gia is feeling so lost. She is becoming excessively stressed and having a harder and harder time calming down. 😞 300 days is a lot to ask of a dog like Gia. If you’re looking for an adventure partner, a snuggle buddy, or someone to come home to, please come see Gia and give her a chance. 🙏 Gia is reported to be potty trained, walks well on leash, loves to play with toys, and LOVES to cuddle. She gets along with other dogs and ignores them on walks. 🐶 Gia is about 2 years old, weighs 55 pounds, and is already spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. She is located at 📍5625 Confetti Drive, El Paso, Texas, open 12pm-6pm every day. 🐾Gia: A55106365 #adoptep #gia #longstay #adoptme #takemehome #elpasotx #elpaso #elpasotexas #eptx #shelterdog

This family needs a foster! German Shepherd mama Molly and her kiddos Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Charlie, Fred, and George are looking for a Burrow to call home for a while. Molly is extremely sweet and friendly with everyone she meets. We have not seen her around other pets, but we always recommend keeping nursing moms and their babies separate to keep everyone safe and healthy. Can you help us get this family out of the shelter? They’re located at 📍5001 Fred Wilson, El Paso, Texas, open 11am-6pm every day. Fostering is completely free and we will provide the supplies you need! 💜 🐾Molly: A57195415 PS: Please spay and neuter your pets. All pets adopted from El Paso Animal Services come with their spay/neuter surgery, microchip, and age appropriate vaccines. #adoptep #nursingmom #elpaso #eptx #elpasotexas #spayandneuter #spayyourpets #puppies #fosteringsaveslives
