Trevor is a one year old male from the dog mill down in Carlsbad. We keep getting these really nice dogs from the shelter down there. He is much cuter than his picture. He will love an active family to take him running. He was bought by a family who thought he was a darling puppy, didn’t train him and then left him out in the back yard. He is ready to learn and very willing.
Let me know if you want to meet him

Di came with her brother Charlie, They were living on a ranch. Di likes to roam and the two of them went off with some neighborhood doggies to find a neighbor’s chickens. They brought one back. Neighbors in ranch country deal with such things by the old west way of shooting visitors. The owner felt that the dogs would be safer if placed.
Di is very sweet and likeable. Her only quirk is that she likes to roam. Her new person will need to have a secure wall for her. She is very smart and in her evaluation with me has shown mighty ingenuity in trying to get out of a regular fence.
She loves being inside and loves other dogs.
Email me if you would like to meet her.

Charliee is gorgeous. He is blondie and very, very nice. Loves dogs, kids and even cats. His owner died two years ago, and he went to the daughter. She recently got separated and moved into an apartment and simply can’t keep him. He acts like he is about six.
This is a great dog.
Here is a note from his foster:
Charlie is absolutely a great dog. We couldn’t ask for a better match.
Charlie is exceptionally well behaved. Fully house broken of course. But better yet, we can leave him in the house without fear of destroying something. He expresses a little separation anxiety, but only a little whining.
He has one unusual trait. He is so gentle and reserved all day and all night long. But at 6:10 am, he gets very anxious and insists we get up and out of bed. At first I thought it was just needing to go outside. So I let him out, and nothing. Then I figured he was just anxious to go on his walk down to the park. But I don’t think so. So here is my theory – his first owner passed away in her sleep, and it may have taken awhile for someone to come around to check. That would have been pretty traumatic for him. So at 6:15, Charlie gets worried about us and wants to make sure we are OK. When we do get up, he is total Golden, wagging his tail so hard, he knocks things over.
It is an endearing trait, and we wanted an excuse to get up and exercise anyway, but any suggestions? Sleeping until 7:00 would be nice on occasion.
Since we’ve had him, he has barked only once – at 3:00 am when he was startled by something. He doesn’t even bark when the door bell rings. I suspect he might have been trained not to bark, via a shock collar or something.
He is such a gentle soul. He acts like he’s been part of the family all his life. We’d love to keep him.

Here is a sweet 10 monther with a great personality. He loves people and dogs and is a leaner.
Buddy is neutered and has had his shots. He willing and enthusiastic. He has been VERY responsive to being trained.
He is very, very cute and has a cowlick right on the top of his head. If you are looking for a young boy with lots of love, this is your dog. Here is his foster’s report
Just a few things about Buddy—first of all, he is an absolutely wonderful dog. He settled in easily and will thrive with anyone who can give him lots of love, walking and discipline. He is so eager to please and made great strides. I will miss him greatly–as will Lucy!! I hope he gets placed to the right person soon!! (Otherwise, I will be begging to keep him.) He really is something special!

So we have a very unusual situation. I am looking for a FOSTER home for Pascale and her kitty Mia.
Here is the story.
Pacale’s owners were stationed in Hawaii. Then transferred back to Albuquerque. They have just been notified a a reposting in Hawaii. The dog has been been vaccinated, but Hawaii requires a blood test from 4 months before entry that shows that the rabies tider is at a certain level. Because they just got the posting, they will need to leave at the end of may. And won’t have 4 months of the rabies tider complete until August. So they are desperate to find a foster home for the darling golden for a couple of months.
I figured it was worth a try to see if one of you might be willing to do this.
Let me know.

Here is Dante who came from an owner who lost her home and felt she could not manage havingtwo dogs. She told the vet they needed to be euthanized. So…..the vet called us and we said, yah, we can take em.
So here they are, funny, creative and loving having a place to run around. Dante is the blondie. He came with Annie, but after they had been at my house for a week or so, it was clear that they could be placed separately.
Dante has gone to a home with a female his age who looks just like him. He is in love. They have a little farm with goats and a barn and Dante is very, very happy.

Goldie is reputed to be about 10. She was living in a family and the wife died. The husband sort of just left her out in the yard. She was given to the shelter, then to a rescue group who placed her in a foster home. But her younger dog didn’t like this old lady and kinda went after her. So that person finally called us. Whew! She took her to the vet and got a clean bill of health include full blood work and xrays. They also did a dental.
When she arrived, she was arthritic and pretty slow to move. Now, with some special Kathleen supplements and some regular walking, she is rocking. If you love the old dogs, this one is a charmer.
This is a wonderful!!!! dog. her hind legs are getting stronger but she is in good health and has a great attitude. She is loving, grateful and kind. She likes other dogs and is content to sleep. She needs to be with someone who loves the old ones and who will give her the care and tenderness she deserves..
Every once in a while we get one of these sweethearts. I KNOW there will be someone who will treat her the way we would treat out mothers.
