Buddy is a 3 year old male who is very athletic and has lots of energy. You can see he loves to run. He came to us from the Santa Fe Shelter where he had been turned in because he was too energetic. He wants attention and came with some ways of asking that were not the best. We have been working with him and wow has he responded! He loves training!
He will do best in a household of active people who hike or run. He will do better as the only dog. He has been chipped, had all his shots and heart worm testing. We are waiting on the neuter until he is a little more settled with a routine.
Email me if you want to learn more. He is a great dog with a lot of potential.

Wagner is an 11 year old male. [this is not really his picture, but it is very close and I thought you would like to have a sense of his beautiful self ) He has had all his shots, is neutered and microchipped. He is an owner surrender due to a divorce. He LOVES cats and lived with 3 of them. He is in good health and can walk a mile. He has had chronic ear trouble but I think this will be cleared up with a change in diet and some of the kathleen magic we do. It is already responding beautifully. When he came they said he had to have the color on all the time. Wrong on that one. Now he is enjoying sleeping on the couch and making himself right at home.

When Wagner met my 12 year old Josie, he put his ears forward and started flirting. She curtsied and smiled…usually, she won’t get the rescues the time of day. This is a really, really nice dog. When he gets back from the groomer, I will get a picture up. If I could keep this boy, I would in a heartbeat.

Exercise needs: 2
Loving attention needs: 5 (he needs love and reassurance. I think the household had a lot of stress and he kinda got the brunt of it. But he is not neurotic in any way.)

Casey is a 6 year old owner surrender. He is fabulous with kids and little ones. He has been in a family with some stress, so he does have some anxiety and needs lots of loving. He likes his crate, loves to go walking. he is afraid of thunder and fireworks. He likes other dogs.
Casey will blossom in a home that can give him time and attention. I don’t have him yet because his owner is having a hard time with giving him up.

Well, Mr. Clyde has a new name…and a new home… here is a report

Another update on Zevon’s progress…wow. He’s amazing. We love him.
Its only been a couple of days and he sits at the point we taught him
not to go past when there is any activity at the door. He quickly
learned “pass” lets him go over the mark and its time to go for a
walk. He has responded so well to “heal” and still needs occasional
reminding, but the leash has slack on it now and he keeps his shoulder
even with your leg. “Leave” has sunk in even more, no races to dropped
food, he knows what things he can’t touch.

We were on a walk and didn’t see a dead mouse until we were right on
it. He started to look interested but one “leave” and he stepped right
over it and continued to heal. We had one bout with a dominance
display with Arwen yesterday, so we turned the situation into a
training session. As of today, they are playing ball together, he
doesn’t take toys away from her, and they are seeking our attention
together…very good sign. They still need to develop their
relationship, but I think the ground rules are known now and they are
more comfortable. His lack of neutering has not been an issue since we
worked with that yesterday morning…he knows that he has to be mellow
about his interests with Arwen.

We haven’t let the bird interact without bars yet, although he knows
“down” and has ceased to jump on anything, really…he’s such a good
dog. He is usually so tired after his morning session that he sleeps
for about two hours. That has been good. He has mellowed out a lot and
likes quiet family time a lot. I think he’s adjusting very quickly. No
more problems with the doggie door…he uses it freely.

I think I’m going to use our long leash in the yard today and start
working on “Come”. He already knows what it is, but we have used it
casually and sometimes he comes, sometimes not. But he definitely
knows his name now, so its time. What a smart dog. He is just
wonderful and considering his size, I would have not expected it to be
so easy. He’s awesome.

Exercise needs: 3
Loving attention needs: 4 (she is skittish and needs to learn to be with people)

Well, once again we were crazy about one of our transports. Baby Bear immediately started taking to us once we started down the road. He gave quiet kisses and head nudges along the way. When we got to Roswell, we took him out on his lead for a potty. He kept going to me, then Tony, leaning his head on each of us, grinning and wagging. Then he did the cutest thing. As he walked between the 2 of us (he’s not good on a lead, but he tried so hard) he started talking this sweet little barky conversation, looking at on of us then the other. He really wanted to tell us all about something. We just melted. He tried so hard to gain us, it felt terrible passing him on again. He really was trying to “sell” himself to us, and it worked. If only I had the room. . .

Anyhow, he has obviously not been treated very kindly, but he is resilient, and with the right person, he will be just fine. I hope he’ll do some talking for you. It is really something to hear, and he really likes the fact that anyone will listen.

Thank you for taking this sweet boy. We would love to know how he’s doing.

he has had his shots. We will do his chip and wait on his neuter till he gains a little weight. He is pretty small. But what a sweetie.

Koda is a 4 year old boy whose owner surrendered him because the grandchildren were having an allergic reaction to him. He is very loving and likes to play fetch. He has not had a lot of experience with other dogs so isn’t really sure how to play. He LOVES water and is constantly playing in his water bowl. He is very healthy and athletic.

Jude is a 10 year old owner surrender. He came from an older woman. She got sick, had to have surgery, asked her daughter to care for the dog. Then decided to just abandon him. The daughter is a single parent with 3 kids, and really was not in a position to have a big dog in her apartment.

This dog is wonderful. He LOVEs children, likes cats, is very healthy and very funny. He loves the water and if you have a pool he would be in it all day. He is also in the water dish. The only dilemma for him is he is scared of thunder and needs to be inside if there is a storm.
