Story
Gilbert is approximately 6 years old and is an energetic and playful dog. He currently lives with his adopted sister Sullivan who is a similar age and size. Ideally, I would like to place them together as they are bonded. I am moving internationally. Bert frequently overwhelms new dogs with his desire to play rough. Once introduced, he gets along with other dogs but can be intimidating to smaller or submissive dogs. His idea of playing ball is to fetch, then play keep-away (or bury the ball). He is very athletic and loves long hikes. He keeps a close eye on what is happening, and loves to patrol the fence. When I adopted him 4 years ago, he had been in shelters for a while and was withdrawn and guarded. He is more outgoing now, but I expect him settle slowly in a new home. Unusually for a rescue dog, he seems to prefer men to women, although his heart can be won with treats from anyone. He knows "sit" and "get back from the door/gate," will "come" inconsistently. I

Story
Louise came to us shaking and scared, looking to her friend and kennelmate Thelma for comfort. With a lot of treats and patience, she`s started to open up, but will need an understanding adopter who will take their time. Beginning to relax and seek out attention, Louise would love to find a forever home that will give her a soft, quiet place to land, where she can get comfortable and open up in her own time. And while she may not be bonded to Thelma, they sure do love each other, and two dogs are better than one, so why not adopt them both!

MeiMei

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult
Villanueva, NM
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
MeiMei was found near death in the middle of no where. I decided to foster and help her recover. I've watched her become the sweetest most cuddly squish (she thinks she's a lap dog). She is now in full health, spayed, vaccinated and available for adoption! She is crate trained, leash trained, and knows a dozen commands. She's also amazing in the car! Mei Mei is eager to please and easily trainable. She is hilarious - her goofiness make me laugh everyday. She adores humans but is working on her reactivity with dogs (she's never bit one though!). She has walked happily alongside another dog after a 45 minute professional training session, so I know with more consistent practice, she will quickly improve. Ideally, MeiMei would have a home with more than one caretaker. Her remaining anxiety disappears when she gets plenty of exercise and time around people. She desperately needs a home, as she would be euthanized in a shelter due to her current dog-aggression, despite her great potential!

Story
Pete came in with five other dogs off the mesa a little over a year ago. He's a snuggle monster. He especially loves scritches behind the ears and on his shoulders. He's just lean on you once you start giving him some love and he won't leave. He's a sweet boy, but won't do as well with other dogs.

Story
Meet Jane, a Boxer/Pit (80%/20%) we rescued about 2 years ago. Jane is approximately 4.5 years old, is SUPER smart and obedient - she knows so many commands (sit, lay, stay, shake, go to bed, lay down, come, go away, up, etc). She loves big grassy yards, is amazing in a vehicle (we take her with us everywhere), and is super sweet and loyal. Jane does have some challenging personality traits though. She is not good with other dogs. She tries to immediately dominate them or tries to fight them. She also takes a while to warm up to people, and has bitten a couple of new people when introduced in our home. These bites were definitely warnings and not attacks, but it is still important to mention, as this is the reason were trying to find her a forever home. We are expecting a baby in a couple of months and dont want any unnecessary risks/stressors with a newborn. Shes such an awesome dog in so many ways, and she would be the BEST guard dog, as she is so obedient and protects her own.
