My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Charybdis, a.k.a. Ribs!!! She is most lovable girl around. Her large size is nothing compared to her large heart. Her only quirk is that somewhere in her past she must have had a scary experience, causing her to be fearful of men. This doesn't mean that she cant learn to accept any male bonding, she just needs work and someone to show her not all men are scary. She does well with other dogs and loves women as she tends to find comfort in them. She enjoys walks and does very well on a leash. She would need a large yard or a good walk to keep her active and busy. We are not sure about her with young children, but doesn't show signs of aggression and does not jump on people.

More about this shelter

Our shelter had it's beginnings in the mid 90's and formally became a nonprofit organization in 2001. The dream of Lee and Sophia DiClemente has grown to be the largest no-kill animal shelter in New Mexico. Lee passed in 2010, but Sophia carries on with the support of a small staff, a large number of volunteers, and numerous donors - large and small.
