Success Stories


Blossom

She approx 3 yrs, been vaccinated, healthy dog. Doesn’t like her picture taken as you can see. A bad hair day. We can relate. She looks grumpy but is very sweet. She has not yet been spayed and will need to be.

Blossom charmed the heart of her new mom. They hit it off right away and Her sweetness said, I want to go home with you. We are thrilled with this placement.

Hey Kathleen, Just got on line and saw Blossom, now Brandi, in the success stories. Thought I’d give you a little update. Yes, it was a perfect match. She is greatly loved and gives my partner and I such great joy. I’ve attached some recent Thanksgiving pictures of Brandi on a trip to the Santa Fe Ski Basin. This is my first time seeing her in the snow and, yes, like most doggies, she loves it! Thank you and the rescue for putting us together. Happy Holidays! Robin

Baker

I met him this past weekend….total love bug. Was out with a ton of other dogs, got a long great, no problems, good with kids, there was a family volunteering that had kids and they were playing with him, he’s a happy-go-lucky, typical golden boy. BEAUTIFUL…….i’m telling you these pics don’t show his true beauty……….He’s 3ish, knows sit command, does ok on leash, will need some mild manner training on that……he was very well liked at the Shelter where he was kept for a couple weeks. One of the volunteer’s that works with us, her daughter works at the shelter where he was…….they held on to him in their adoption program for a couple weeks because he was such a joy to have around.

Baker had a blast at the adoptathon> his new parents said, that’s our boy!! and was he excited too!!!

LOGAN’S RUN

My run started in Midland Texas where I was found in the dump as a very skinny stray. From there I went to the city pound. Thanks to some very great people I started my journey via El Paso, TX to Albuquerque, NM. My arrival was a wondrous adventure for me because of the Golden Retriever Rescue of NM (GRRNM). I was introduced to a great foster family that acquainted me with three other Golden’s and some very loving people. My first month in Albuquerque, NM was fantastic. I had all the amenities, wonderful FOOD, loving people and great dog buddies. Did I mention the FOOD. I was now on my new path to my new family. I chose a great family with two children and a big backyard. The bonus in my new backyard is there are some neighborhood cats I get to chase. Silly cats don’t they know there is a new sheriff in town, and his name is LOGAN. I have included some pictures of me and my family and extend a huge THANK YOU to all the people connected with GRRNM that helped on my RUN.

Maggie and Duke

Maggie (female) is seven years old. She is very smart and quiet. She
likes to just sit by someone. Duke the other dog seems to keep her
motivated. Both dogs are very co-dependent on each other. If we take
just one of them on a walk alone – the other one just moans until we
return. That is why we would like to keep them together if possible.

Duke (male) is 5 years old. He is very playful and doesn’t like to be
without Maggie. He loves to play ball.

Both dogs are fixed and are current with all of their vaccinations.

Maggie and Duke have been placed together on a ranch in Eastern New Mexico. They are really happy!!!! and so is their family.

Hank

Hank, a two-year old male golden, was rescued from El Paso Animal Control. He was adopted by Harry and Anne Montgomery of Las Cruces. He will now lead a great life with them in their lovely home on the west mesa overlooking the Organ Mountains and the Mesilla Valley. He will have long walks in the desert and lots of attention. He will be spending the summer in cool Colorado Springs.

Franklin

Frankin is about 10 weeks old. He was born blind. As we have evaluated him, we have learned that his eyes are fine, but there seems to be some problem in his brain. He is wobbly and is just learning how to make sense of the world. He will need a special kind of love and care.

He has a wonderful temperament. He loves to eat and he is pretty much crate trained. But he will need to be trained carefully to be safe. He needs to have another dog in the house who can teach him. You would put a bell on the dog. And he cannot be with cats.

If you think you have the patience and love to work with him, come and visit and meet him. If you decide you are ready for this darling dog, I will work with you to maximize his capacity.

WONDERFUL NEWS!

Franklin has a new home with a woman who has had a lot of experience with rehab. She has had her eye on Franklin since she first heard about him. He will be going on a plane to Maine. She is ready to care for him and keep him safe. We are excited to hear a step by step process.

While he is waiting, he is with Kathleen in ABQ learning new skills.

Harry

Harry is about 6 years old and is a loving, family dog. Harry will do best in a home where he is the only dog. He does not like cats. Harry is housetrained, crate trained and great with children. He is happiest playing outside, chasing sticks, balls and frisbees. He is always eager to please and truly deserves to be invited into a loving home. He will scale low fences, so needs to be where there is a higher fence.
He is looking forward to long walks and lots of attention.

Harry does not like the other small dog in the family where he is so he has been kept in a kennel in the garage. They feel that Harry would be happier in a new home. Harry thinks so too and is excited to find you.

Harry has a new family. Here is the report”

Harry is terrific!! He is lying between my husband and me as I write. We have had the most wonderful 28 hours. We took Harry for a hike in the mountains last evening and then went to a local deck restaurant and he just snoozed under the table. Thanks so much for matching us up.

Tanna and Jerry

was living a lonely life in a yard in El Paso. She is one of many goldens who were purchased as cute fluffy puppies only to find that their owners had little or no time for them. She was adopted by Jerry Meyer who lives north of Las Cruces. He has a lovely house and yard and has time to spend with Tanna. Tanna now has a feline friend, Morgan. Jerry, Tanna, and Morgan will be taking a trip soon to visit some of Jerry’s friends in Wisconsin.

Sitting together

Rosebud was living a lonely life in a long narrow yard in El Paso. Her only company was a cat who would go by from time to time. Watching from her prison withwalls on both sides, she saw the children from her family playing in the larger yard and longed to be with them. The few times she was allowed inside she would get so excited that she would jump on the kids, and the mother would throw her back outside.

After being rescued by GRRNM, she was adopted by the Dockery family in Mesilla Park (Dave, Kathleen, Dylan, 17, and Matthew, 15). She now enjoys romping in her lovely green yard with her doggie sister, Cheyenne. They particularly like chasing after pine cones. She is now very much a part of the family. She enjoys going to ball games and taking walks.
