Daisy is one of the most amazing girls ever. She was dumped out in the mesa to starve as a puppy. Luckily some people saw her out there starving but they couldn't gain her trust. Luckily a foster for us was called and went out there and then rest is history. Daisy loved her and she has done amazing training her and making sure she was socialized with other dogs. Daisy has an amazing temperament! She knows how to be gentle with children but is also very high energy and loves a good game of fetch or tug. She would do amazing in a home with a very active family that can take her exploring, running, hikes, boating, or whatever the case might be she would be able to keep up. She is crate trained, house trained and knows how to use a dog door like a champ. She just needs her own family to love. She also travels very well jumps right in when told.
She is available and posted on our main site www.almosthomenm.org

😍 If you would like to donate towards her care while she is with us, we would truly appreciate it.

Charlie was surrendered for aggression. He is only about a year and a half and has already been passed around from family to family 3 or 4 times. He has been with us a couple weeks, I guess and in my opinion he is just an absolute doll! It seems he might be a one person dog but we will work with him more. He came in badly matted so we have started shaving him but he will be going to the groomers on Friday for his legs. Lol he was very sad with us. But oh my gosh whoever adopts him will just have the best little dog ever. I don't know why he has failed in past homes but from what I was told in one home he didn't get along with the other dogs in the home and this last home he just wouldn't bond and only one person seemed to be able to catch him and love on him. So yea I think he's a doll but we will see the longer he is here. He will be posted once he is available on our main site www.almosthomenm.org

😍 If you would like to donate towards his care while he is with us, we would truly appreciate it.

Phoebe was picked up running at large with her tiny babies and taken to a local shelter in 2022. After being there for months and months, Phoebe and her 2 remaining puppies (Ross and Monica) got listed for euthanasia. We were sent a message that they were in danger and if there was any way we could help. We agreed to bring them in and they have been here ever since. Sadly Ross and Monica were extremely fearful of people to the point of being feral and needing g months of work just so we could touch them without them running and peeing and pooing in fear. Phoebe has an amazing temperament and is so smart. She would be an amazing addition to any home. She is so sweet and well behaved and gets along with all the other dogs and cats here. She's an easy girl but she can be standoffish and reserved with strangers.
She is available and posted on our main site www.almosthomenm.org

Trixie and Dixie were surrendered to a local shelter. Dixie was struggling so when the shelter called us for her we agreed to accept them both into our program.
Trixie is an absolute doll. She loves fetch and is very playful. She is a little shy with strangers but once she gets to know someone she is their best friend and will bring all the toys. She is available and posted on our main site www.almosthomenm.org

Dixie and Trixie were surrendered to a local shelter. Dixie was having a very difficult time trusting the staff and coming out of her shell. She was trying to defend herself and not letting them do their job but one of the staff members saw her potential to love and contacted us. So we agreed to take them in with the hope that they just needed a different environment. She is still shy with strangers but a total lap dog who loves attention. She is an absolute little love. She is available and posted on our main site www.almosthomenm.org

This is Shadow he will more than likely be a permanent resident until he passes due to aggression towards strangers. Now, if we find the perfect home for him, then absolutely he can be placed, but we will see. As many of you know, black dogs are hard to place, and when a dog is aggressive with strangers, it makes meetings much more challenging. You might ask why not euthanize if he is aggressive. Because he is extremely loving with his person (at this time that person is me) he will cuddle and play and is just a gem but he will also lay down his life for me if anyone comes in. So yea, he has his issues, but for the right person, he will be perfect, but if that person is not found, then he will remain here until he passes. He's happy and loved 😍 If you would like to d9nate towards his forever care with us where he is safe and loved we would truly appreciate it.

Happy Valentines Day! We have quite a few kiddos in our program some have been here a long time and others are so new they aren't even posted yet! Please pick one to be your Valentine today and send them a small gift! We would love if we could raise enough donations to get every one of our kiddos a special treat or toy! Please consider sending them even just $5 or $10 - we go through so many treats and toys it is ridiculous so if every one of our followers sent donated just $5 we could get so many special things for the dogs, cats, horses, goats, and chinchillas here (yes we are a dog rescue but have brought in a few extras who needed a place)

I have included a little about each of the dogs in our program on each photo. Thank you all so much for your help in keeping our doors open and helping us save so many over the years.

Just a share
I do not have details or any information. I shared because it is worth sharing because people need to know this stuff. This puppy should not have died because of human ignorance. It is absolutely sickening how many dogs are dying right now because there just aren't enough good homes and some people fail to be responsible. Absolutely heartbreaking.

There are not enough words to express how sad this is. No one saw it coming, no one wanted this to happen, but it happens more than we like to admit. We are posting so that his life will not have been lived in vain with the hope that his story will prevent another unnecessary death.

Surrendered on 11/1/2024 with his littermates barely old enough to eat on his own, he was growing up in the shelter until we posted and someone was kind enough to adopt.

In the shelter environment, he caused no trouble and was thought to be sweet and friendly. This was his home, his world, all that he knew. He was thought to be a type of Malinois and probably 4 or 5 months old. We do not know the details but we do know that once adopted, he encountered another earlier adopted dog in the home, there was aggression of some type that caused him to be returned to the shelter. Now labeled aggressive, whatever happened was bad enough to fear it would happen again and consequently he was euthanized. Yes, he lost his life.

It starts with an unwanted litter, because someone was careless or did not care enough to spay or neuter their pet. The animals ALWAYS pay the price for human carelessness and indifference.
This poor pup paid with his life.

IF YOU ADOPT AND ALREADY HAVE OTHER PETS.
*BRING your pet to the shelter to meet whoever it is you would like to bring home. It will give everyone incite necessary to safeguard all involved. Introduction on neutral ground is critical for successful adoption.

*Prepare: Set up separate spaces for each dog with food, water, and toys.
*Meet in a neutral place: Take the dogs for a walk together on leashes.
*Introduce gradually: Let the dogs sniff each other from a distance, then gradually move closer together.
*Supervise: Keep the dogs' interactions closely supervised, especially for the first two weeks.
*Use positive reinforcement: Reward your dogs when they behave confidently.
*Watch for signs of stress: Look for signs of anxiety or discomfort, such as growling, snapping, or raised fur.
*Separate if needed: If the dogs get tense, separate them and continue monitoring their interactions.
*Establish boundaries: Decide where the dog will be allowed to go.
*Be patient: The introduction process can take time, and whether or not the dogs get along depends on their personalities.

Sound like alot? It is! THEIR LIVES DEPEND ON YOU

It is NEVER their fault only ours. RIP sweet boy. 😓
