Story
I bought Remi in 2017 from a breeder in Wyoming. He had been previously adopted and returned after his prior family started having children, and was probably close to two when I adopted him. He worked with my family's goats for years before we moved to Texas. He's been with me through a move to Florida and now New Mexico. He is very content to just sit around most of the day, but does love a good walk. He is patient, loyal and affectionate. He LOVES people, but he is suspicious at first. He does get anxious when we are away for the day or prepping for a trip. Unfortunately, my family is moving overseas and we are worried about the toll the travel and change would take on him. This is one of the hardest decisions we have ever had to make, and we hope that he can go to a loving person or family who will give him a comfortable retirement.

Story
Hola mis amigos! My name is Gordo. I am a four-year-old Pit Bull mix who is 120 lbs of LOVE. I have quickly wiggled my way into the hearts of the staff here at AHNM, but what I really want is a home and a family to call my own! Here is a little bit about me: 🌟 I am a staff favorite! 🚐I have been to events around Albuquerque! 🐶I have done well with dogs in previous homes. 🐕I have done well in playgroups with other shelter dogs. 👶I have done well with children. 🥔I am a certified couch potato! 🌭I am very treat motivated! 🍎 I am ready to learn new tricks! ⚾I love playing with toys! 😴I love to snuggle and cuddle! 📸I am very photogenic! 🦮I am known for my tail wags! 👋I love belly rubs! The crew here at the shelter have tons of nice stuff to say about me... but it doesn't compare to the real deal, so you gotta just come in and meet me for yourself!
