ADOPTION IN PROCESS

Riley

Estimated Birthday June 25, 2004

Riley was found as a stray in Albuquerque and we can only guess, because of his injuries,  that he was hit by a car. He had surgery to repair a broken leg but has recovered incredibly well. He loves to run and play in the back yard with the other Chihuahuas but really enjoys lounging with his foster family at the end of the day. Riley is a terrific little dog that will make a loving companion for a home with other small dogs or a family that can provide some activity to keep him busy.

About three years old and around nine pounds, Riley has been in foster care for over a year and needs to find a family of his own to give him the love he deserves.

ADOPTION FEE $150

ADOPTED! 07/15/2008

Alabama and Banjo

Birthday January 13, 2008.

These two tiny little buttons were born on January 13th to our lovely Susanna. The owner surrendered momma to us to make sure the puppies would be born in a safe place. They were worried that the puppies might have to be taken by caesarian because they think daddy was a bigger dog. The puppies were born naturally, but the third little sister only lived for a couple of days. A heart break for all of us. We have the ashes of little “Susanna Angel" in our memorial niche.

We don’t know how big these little sweeties will grow up to be, but they are cute as they can be right now. There is no doubt they will grow up to be incredible little dogs. Momma is one of the sweetest Chihuahuas and the foster mom gave them a lot of attention. We want to adopt them together since they have been such a wonderful pair to keep each other company and into and out of trouble.

Smith and Wesson

Birthday approx April 15, 2008.

Owner released because they couldn’t keep them and wanted our rescue to find them good (really good) homes. They are ready to go to foster to adopt homes where they can bond with their family while they are still puppies.

Smith is a dark fawn with heavy black sabling, Wesson is a reverse brindle. According to their owner, their mother is six pounds and dad is five pounds. They weighed just over a pound at eight weeks of age. They are happy little boys and should do well in a home with school aged children and preferably a home where they will not be left alone for more than four or five hours at a time so they can be socialized and housetrained.

Adoption will be completed after they are neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated.

ADOPTION FEE $700 for both or $400 each.

Finnegan

Birthday approx May 18, 2007

There isn’t really much to say about Finnegan except that he was a stray in Valencia County and no one reclaimed him or adopted him before his time was up. He wasn’t injured or old or sick, just lost. We took him as a rescue transfer and think we found a diamond in the rough.

Fin is a happy and active little dog with lots of personality. He has no problem keeping the Huskies in line and struts his stuff with the horses and goats, as well. He enjoys the company of otherd dogs and playful cat. He spends time on his foster dad’s lap unless the foster mom is home.

At only five pounds this little fellow is full of himself now that he has settled into his foster home. If you are looking for a little spice in your life and think you can give this little guy a run for his money fill out the application and ask about Finnegan. He is an incredible little dog!

Trucker II

Birthday approx November 11, 2007.

Picked up as a stray in Los Lunas, this sweet boy was adopted after the three day holding period. His new family took him home to several young children. The older kids did well with him, but the youngest thought he made a great speed bump for this Tonka toys. When he objected the new family brought him back to the shelter. That made him an owner release and he was scheduled to be euthanized the next day. Thank goodness we were there to take him into rescue. He deserves a chance for a good home.

We named him Trucker and think he is a wonderful dog. The other dogs bully him a bit because he is so submissive. That reinforces our policy of not adopting our dogs to homes with children under school age. Kids can be too rough with sensitive dogs and the dog takes the rap. Good boy Trucker!

ADOPTION FEE $200

Raymond

Estimated Birthday June 10, 2007

Raymond looks like an Egyptian dog owned by royalty. He has golden eyes and a gorgeous sleek coat of strawberry blond with white accents.  He is a young adult, weighing just over six pounds of puppy energy.  Raymond loves his toys but he also loves almost anything he can get into his mouth.  His personal favorite is tissues, which he tears up in to tiny pieces and strews all over the house.  He is at the chewing stage and needs good chewy toys.  He also will lick you and do puppy mouthing.

He will use pee-pee pads if they are available. Learning to walk on a leash, “Ray Ray” still needs some improvement in his social skills. He is sweet as can be and enjoys his time with people and other dogs. With a lust for life this little guy runs around the yard like a madman! 

Raymond was found as a stray and was not reclaimed before his time was up at the shelter. How anyone could let go of such a beautiful little guy is beyond understanding.  Given his puppy like behaviors we think that he would do best in a family that has had experience in raising a puppy or is eager to learn how to become a well adjusted dog loving home.

ADOPTION FEE $250

Hopalong Cassidy

Estimated Birthday May 28, 2004

Hopalong Cassidy (aka Hop, Hoppy, Hip Hop) is an extremely handsome golden Chihuahua mix.  He has a wonderful, sweet personality and is as mellow as can be.  He believes that cuddling up with a person is about the best. 

Hoppy is about 4 years old and weighs eight pounds. He and his cat friend had to be removed from his home because his owner had Dementia and was unable to care for them.  Hoppy’s only fault is that he is a runner!  He can get out a door as fast as a bunny - even though he only has three legs! However, he is not the least bit impaired by this.  He goes on long walks, can jump up on the bed, and chase his foster buddies.  He does not know that he should have a right front leg as well as a left one.

Hopalong gets along well with men and women, other small dogs and we believe he does well with cats.  He would do best in a household where there are no small children and where he can get a lot of cuddle time.

ADOPTION FEE: $200 

Alejandro

Birthday approx May 5, 2007.

One of our volunteers was pulling up to the front of WalMart in Belen and saw an elderly man setting up a lawn chair and a sign offering a “Free Chihuahua.” His story was that another person had given him the dog because they couldn’t care for him. He found that a young pup was more than he bargained for, too. Cheryl didn’t want this sweet little guy get passed on again so arranged to get him into our program so we could find him a quality home that will appreciate and love him forever.

His foster mom, Cheryl, says: “Alejandro is not your typical high energy Chihuahua. He is very calm and prefers to be by my side whenever possible. I have not heard him bark at all and he does well crated at night or when I am gone. He is a bit of an escape artist and found tiny holes in my fence, but came back to the front door to be let in! He only tried to mark territory in the house once but when I told him no he immediately stopped. Alex gets along well with my big dogs and the cats. He is a sensitive, smart dog and does not need much discipline to understand what I want from him. He seems emotionally well rounded and likes affection but does not seem to be needy. He is a great dog!”

ADOPTION FEE $200

Brett

Birthday approx September 7, 2006.

His elderly owner brought Brett to the Valencia County Animal Shelter because he had to go to the hospital and had no one to care for his dog. Having already survived Parvo as a puppy, this was the second devastating challenge in his life. After three days and no one interested in adopting him, Brett was close to losing his life again.

This marvelous little dog is full of energy and a lust for life. His eyes hold the worry of life at its worst, but his tail and enthusiasm show his will to survive. If you are looking for an athletic companion who can lift your spirits and test your metal please consider our “give it your all” Brett. 

ADOPTION FEE $200

 

Dara

Birthday approx May 5, 2005.

This beautiful little girl was mauled by a neighbors dog as she followed her young owners down the street in their neighborhood. She had two sets of puncture wounds from all four canines of the big dog that attacked her. Punctures and tears from shoulder to shoulder and flank to flank. She was seconds away from death when the dog let her go.

The family contacted the emergency vet and found that they could not afford to have her injuries treated. The were referred to us and asked if we would take her into our rescue and save her life. Our darling Dara was the second dog that week that we took in because of injuries by big dogs. She was luckier than Hawthorn who will probably have long term lameness from his attack.

Dara is doing very well, but will have scares from her encounter. However, it has not changed her lovely personality and love for people. She does not seem to have an issue with any of the small dogs in her foster home, but we will have to see how she feels about big dogs. . . Dara weighs about seven pounds.

ADOPTION FEE $300

Coco Puffs-Mini Mouse

Birthday approx April 12, 2000.

OK, how can an eight year old, pregnant, little bitty thing like this be found as a stray? The alternate report we got was that she was picked up, along with the children in the home near by. We will never learn the whole story but enough is clear that she was not in a good place.

She delivered two puppies by caesarian section while at the shelter, but they both died a couple of days later. She was terribly over weight and had flea bite dermatitis, with most of the hair on her rear end missing. With all of her health issues and horrible life she has somehow managed to keep an incredible attitude.

At just under 5 pounds “Mini Mouse” is packed full of energy and a bizzillion kisses. Her effervescence keeps bubbling over from morning to night. She is pure delight!

Obviously she needs a mature home that can keep her safe from young children and larger dogs. She also needs someone who can spend endless hours basking in her sunny personality.

ADOPTION FEE $150

Dexter

Birthday approx March 3, 2005.

While working in her mothers yard in Peralta, a woman and her friend found a Chihuahua hiding in the brush by the ditch bank. They took him door-to-door but no one recognized him. They called the shelter to report him found, but they had not received a report of a dog of his description. They took him home to their apartment in Albuquerque and waited to see if his owners would call. After a few days they decided to ask if we could take him in because they couldn’t keep a dog there and were going on vacation soon.

We posted him with the shelters, in the paper and the local Village office - to no avail. So, little Dexter is looking for a new home. About three years old and just six pounds, this meek little boy is just dying to find a sensitive someone who will let him snuggle and kiss away their tears and celebrate their cheers.

ADOPTION FEE $200

Faith Hill

Birthday approx May 19, 2004.

A puppy mill in Artesia released several of their breeding dogs to the shelter because they were over their limit. Faith Hill was one of the lucky ones to get out before she was bred to death. She was probably surrendered because her ears don’t stand up, or she may have only had small littlers, or any one of a dozen other reasons a breeder would get rid of a dog. Obviously the standards in their kennel are not AKC breed standards.

OK, off the soap box, for now. This poor little dog has been neglected of love and socialization that she would have had in a good home. She is timid and will need to be adopted by someone who is willing to work past her early experiences and turn her into a loving pet instead of a manufacturing plant.  (Oops, sorry, got back up on the box for a second there). She would do best in a home with only one or two other dogs so she can get the one-on-one she needs to blossom. Just look into those big brown eyes and imagine your reflection there.

ADOPTION FEE $200

Goldilocks

Birthday September 17, 2007

Goldilocks was surrendered by her owner because she (the owner) is in poor health. She has several other dogs but felt it would be best for “Goldie” to be placed with rescue. The owner has both the mother, a Chihuahua, and the father, a Pomeranian.

The owner also knew that she had a heart murmur that she could not afford to have corrected. Our veterinarian thought at first that it might be operable and we were willing to try. However, he says that the problem is more than he is able to repair. He thinks she has a small hole between two chambers of her heart.

She was spayed and bounced back in less than twelve hours. She runs like crazy and is one of the most affectionate and happy dogs you will ever meet. She is a wild and crazy child!

How old will she live to be? We don’t know. We anticipate that it will be less than the 14 to 16 year norm for Chihuahuas. We just don’t know. But we do know that whatever life span she has her owner will be rewarded with the happiest kisses, and sweetest face, waggiest tail and a lifetime of delightful memories of this sweet child.

Adopt this sweet baby and you will never regret it.

Hawthorn

Birthday approx May 1, 2006.

There are so many shelter animals in need of rescue but we can only do so much. Because we are a Chihuahua Rescue we have to turn down a lot of dogs we wish we could help, but don’t have the funds or the room. However, sometimes we just walk away. So we took in Hawthorn.

Someone flagged down animal control and handed them a dog bundled up in towels. They said they found him injured and couldn’t take him to the vet. He was in the shelter for about two hours when we came in to do the weekly photos for the local paper. It only took a minute to decide to call our vet and get him emergency treatment. He had a two and a half inch open gash behind his right front leg and was obviously in pain. We rushed him to our vet where he crashed on the table but was revived. After surgery we learned he had been mauled by a dog.

Probably more Doxie than Chihuahua, Hawthorn is a very submissive sweet little guy. It appears that this isn’t his first injury. His left foot is larger and more splayed than his right, indicating he had a limp before this attack. Despite his injuries he is a loving little ten pound, Chocolate treat. You will just want to eat him up! When he is really happy he roll up his lip and gives a big smile showing all of his front teeth! What a sweetie pie.

ADOPTION FEE $200

Nitya

Birthday approx August 8, 1998.

A large number of our older dogs come in to rescue because and elderly family member passed away and the family cannot care for, or doesn’t want, the deceased owners pets. This is the first time we have taken a dog because a parent, whose adult daughter passed away, and couldn’t care for her pets.

This precious little angel is about ten years old and only weighs 3.5 pounds. A sweetheart with a terrific personality that only wants to be held and snuggled.

She deserves a mature home where she can live out her remaining years (perhaps another five or six) in the lap of luxury. The rewards of giving a sweet baby tike Nitya a loving home outweighs any of the concerns many people have about adopting a senior dog. She is a treasure.

ADOPTION FEE $150

Reba

Birthday November 19, 2003.

Our veterinarian estimates her age at only four years. Look at her face and sad eyes and you can see she has aged a bit more because of her puppy mill background.

We had her mammary tumors removed and a dental done while she was under being spayed. But we can’t remove the sad life she was born into, almost bred to death.

Reba is in a foster home where she is learning that people can offer her love and affection, as well as just kibble and water. She is coming out of her shell shock of a life and beginning to get a sparkle in her eyes.

Reba needs a home that is quiet and understanding of a sweet little dogs’ need for extra time and patience to give her confidence that life is good.  

ADOPTION FEE $250

Sabrina and Savanna

Birthday approx October 15, 2007.

These two lovely young ladies were found as strays in a park in Albuquerque. We placed want ads and called the shelters trying to find the owners, but no one claimed them.

They are old enough to be spayed and vaccinated so will be available for adoption the beginning of June. We would love for them to be adopted together as they are great company for each other and are best of friends.

There isn’t much more to tell about them - their photos says it all: they are precious and sweet little twins.

ADOPTION FEE $250 each or $400 for both

Scruffy

Birthday approx July 25, 2007.

Scruffy was adopted from the Valencia County Shelter along with his siblings. After a few days he was returned because he had Demodex Mange and Ringworm. Their veterinarian said it would cost to much to treat him so he should be returned to the shelter. So they did.

We decided he needed a second chance to get healthy, happy and find a loving home. We put him on several rounds of medication and special baths to kill the mites and fungus that was making him miserable physically. But nothing stopped his enthusiasm for life! He is a prancey, dancey, handsome little boy!

We think we have conquered the critters that were attacking his body. He will probably need high quality food and lots of extra love and attention to help his immune system suppress the nasties of the world. But what a wonderful, loving, playful little boy. He was worth the effort to give him a healthy and happy life.

ADOPTION FEE $250

Tia

Birthday approx May 17, 2007

Just a puppy herself, pretty Tia is pregnant by either “Vinnie” the Chihuahua or “Max” the ShihTzu - or both. Her owner has dementia and was no longer able to care for his three dogs so surrendered them to the Artesia rescue. They asked us to take her, as it seemed she was ready to give birth. The previous owner said she had been bred “two or three months ago”. Since it is about 60 days for delivery, it seemed like a good idea to get her into a safe and quiet place. 

Tia is not quite ready to have her puppies yet, but it will be soon. We hope it will be a natural delivery and she won’t have to go through a caesarean. A very loving dog, full of puppy kisses and tail wags, Tia will a great dog for a family with school aged children. We think she is mostly Chihuahua with more than a dash of Dachshund.

She will be available for adoption after her puppies are weaned and she is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. That will be about July 25th.

ADOPTION FEE $250

Tinka

Birthday approx April 1, 2004.

Handed from family to family we don’t know where she came from or how she ended up in the family that released her to us. They just said that she was nippy with the kids. They have four children of their own and two they babysit - all under the age of five. With so many young children tormenting her and the other inconsistencies in her life, Tinka has built a defensive wall with strangers. It takes her at least three or four days to come out of her kennel and start to get to know new people in her life.

She has been in two foster homes and one foster to adopt home looking for the right match. It will take a person who is willing to give her time to adjust and understands her needs to bring her around to being the loving dog she is in her current foster home.

If you are looking for a gorgeous little longhair dog and have a patient and quiet home you really need to consider Tinka. We will not adopt her to a family with children. She is fine with the other foster dogs and would do well with one or two other small dogs as companions. Tinka weights seven and a half pounds and is about four years old.

ADOPTION FEE $250

Vinnie

Birthday approx January 17, 2006.

We were concerned that Vinnie was going to be a tough guy because he has huge scars from an attack by a neighbor dog. They say a Pit Bull mangled him through the fence. The owner didn’t have him treated for his injuries, but they have healed well - we just will have to wait and see if the hair grows back.

In the meantime, the owner released Vinnie and Tia, along with a ShihTzu to the shelter. We think Vinnie or the ShihTzu are the father of her puppies (to be born the end of May). Our guess is that Vinnie was being macho and protecting his girl friend. But, he is terrific with people and immediately got along with all of the foster dogs - mostly males.

Vinnie weighs just over eight pounds, has been vaccinated, neutered, micro chipped and a dental. He is a grand little dog with a tremendous presence. No purse or cutesy bling for him!

ADOPTION FEE $200

Yazzie

Birthday approx August 1, 2006

What an absolutely wonderful boy! Yazzie is probably a Chihuahua x Pomeranian mix. He is about two years old and weighs just over 11 pounds. He is a longhair (but not a fuzzy coat), sparkling, delightful little dog. He is perpetually happy.

We took Yazzie from the Valencia County shelter. He had been found as a stray and adopted but returned because he had a tummy problem and the veterinarian thought it might be an impaction, which the new owners could not afford to treat. Whatever it was it passed without further treatment after we took him into rescue.

Yazzie is truly a terrific little dog. He lets little Goldilocks chew on his ears and grabs a toy and plays keep-away with the other foster dogs. Yazzie can climb a three foot wire fence and zooms around the yard like a crazy man. He will need a home that has a large , securely fenced yard or is willing to go for long walks or jogs. He is an extra special little guy.

ADOPTION FEE $300

Artie

Birthday approx January 10, 2007.

The men working at the oil field saw this little fellow just before Christmas and started leaving out food for him. They could see he had an injured leg but didn’t know where he came from. They were finally able to befriend him and took him to the Artesia Humane Society in the hope that someone would take him in and care for his injury.

It appears that his right hind leg was run over - his toes were crushed and his knee had extreme trauma. The knee has healed well enough that our veterinarian feels it is best to leave it alone. However, we removed most of the fractured bones to the first joint of his foot. We had worried that we would have to amputate his leg, but it seems, so far, that he will only loose his toes.

Our best guess is that he is a young Chihuahua x Jack Russell Terrier. He is a sweet little guy that loves to be loved and has a terrific “make the best of life” attitude. He should weigh about twelve pounds when he fills out. 

UPDATE: We felt that the injury to his knee was causing him discomfort and so he was twisting his foot with every step. The pad of his foot would not heal and the way he would lay down lead us to believe he would be more comfortable without his injured limb. He had his leg removed and seems to be happier for the surgery. It certainly has not slowed him down!

He is crate trained and appears to be house-broken. He is crazy about playing outside with the other dogs and gets along with the cats. He is a sunshine loving boy that needs a loving home.

ADOPTION FEE $200

Galveston and Houston

Galveston (on left) ADOPTED! 6/18/2008

Birthday approx November 1, 2007

One of our volunteers stopped at our local shelter and called to say that they had a Chihuahua having seizures. Someone reported the dog had been a stray in the area and she was seizing. Animal control went and picked her up. The family handed them two one week old puppies and said they were hers.

It had been several hours since the little mother was reported and a couple more since she was at the shelter. We discussed the chances of her surviving without brain damage after so many hours of continuous seizures and decided it would most humane to euthanize her. Out of respect for her life we gave her a name - Texas Rose.

We said we would take the puppies and bottle feed them and hope for the best. We named them Galveston and Houston. Texas Rose was a black and tan long legged Chihuahua cross. We have no information about the father, but it seems he might have been a cow dog mix. The two little cowboys are marked like Heelers- sort of . . .. They are super friendly and pretty darn cute. We think they will grow up to be about 12 to 15 pounds. They have been given the best of care and are ready to look for loving homes.

UPDATE: Our little guys have grown up to be delightfully well adjusted young boys. We would love to place them together because they get along so well.

ADOPTION FEE $250 

Cody II

Birthday approx January 14, 2002.

Just out of space and out of time, Cody was out of luck at the Clovis shelter. He caught a ride to Albuquerque where he was transferred to our rescue. It seemed like he might have an injury of sort, but nothing showed up in his blood profile or exam. We decided to just wait and see.

It took a couple of weeks, but he started to perk up and act like a hppy dog. Perhaps there was some horrible accident that left him on the streets. Perhaps he lost a family that he loved. We don’t know what caused him to be so depressed.

Cody is a very sturdy fellow with a serious take on life. We think he will make a great companion for a home that wants a quiet friend. Cody enjoys the company of other dogs, a soft bed and gentle hugs. 

UPDATE: Cody loves to be held and cradled like a baby in his foster mom’s arms. He loves tummy rubs and giving kisses in her ear. Though he is a bit stand offish with strangers, his foster mom - a dog trainer - is working with him to be gracious with visitors. Cody is going to make a great companion for someone looking for an old soul to stroll through life with for the next decade or so.

ADOPTION FEE $200

Picture in Process

Daisy Duke

Birthday approx April 27, 2000.

The owners rushed little Daisy to the emergency clinic because she has a seizure. The ER did x-rays and saw a mass in her intestines. Unable to afford surgery if it was necessary they released her to the clinic to be placed with rescue to see her through her health issue.

Our veterinarian did another x-ray the following morning and the mass was no longer visible. Perhaps it was something she ate that dissolved. We hoped whatever it was it had triggered the seizure. However, she had another episode a few days later. She is currently on Phenobarbital and we will slowly wean her off to see if this was an isolated occurrence. We have been lucky in the past and hope she will follow suit. In the meantime, she is in a foster home that feeds home-cooked food and has a lovely yard for her to play with the other foster dogs.

Her incredible personality makes this little gal worth the effort to save her. She will make a sweet little love for someone who is willing to take a risk and give their heart to a little one in need.

ADOPTION FEE $150

Picture in Process

Johnny Rocket

Birthday approx August 1, 2005.

Little Johnny Rocket was found hiding under a car in Albuquerque. He had “road rash” on his head, both front legs and his side. We don’t know if he fell from a vehicle, was hit and tossed by a passing car, or any other of many guesses to explain his superficial injuries. Fortunately, he didn’t have any broken bones.

We advertised in the paper, reported him found to the shelters but an owner didn’t come forward.

At just over seven pounds and about 2 to 3 years old, Johnny Rocket is going to make a terrific little dog for a family who would like a quiet and submissive companion. He loves to play with stuffed toys and gets along well with the other foster dogs. He fits in and is comfortable like an old friend. 

ADOPTION FEE $200

Picture in Process

Prince Charles

Birthday approx March 5, 2007.

The City of Albuquerque asked if we could take in this sweet little guy. He was injured by a car or a dog and found as a stray.

He had a couple of lacerations and a lot of bruising, but has healed completely.

A solid seven pounds, this fun loving guy has lots of energy. He needs a family that wants to toss the ball, go for walks and then snuggle up for kisses and hugs. He is a true prince of a dog.

ADOPTION FEE $200

Brutus

Birthday approx May 10, 2006.

Brutus is almost too cute for words. Unbelievable that this little darling was found wandering the streets in southern New Mexico. He was probably looking for a girl friend because he wasn’t neutered. He is a tiny bit timid, but then he is a tiny four pound dog! Brutus gets along well with the other foster dogs and is OK with adults if they don’t rush him.

His coat is a lovely blue and cream, he has huge ears and huge eyes. As dainty as he is we are looking for a home with older, or no children, and calm pets. Having repaired broken legs on over a half a dozen tiny dogs (at about $1,500 each) we do not want to risk putting him in an active, multi-pet home.

ADOPTION FEE $300

Joey II

Birthday approx May 10, 1998.

Don’t know where to begin on this little fellow. . .  He was picked up as a stray in Albuquerque. He is a tiny little guy, about three and a half pounds, with a big attitude with strangers. Once he gets to know you he is a silly boy, ready to cuddle and snuggle. 

Joey is about ten years old, or so we think. He has only one tooth left and his face is gray. We wonder how he came to be a stray at his mature age. He was intact, so maybe he was simply looking for a girlfriend. We also don’t know how he came to have a head tilt. We hope it is just an inner ear problem that we can treat.

This tiny little man is so cute it is hard to take his macho behaviors seriously. In the right home, he won’t have to play the game and will be able to live out the rest of his years in his new owners lap or nestled under the covers at night.

ADOPTION FEE $150

Rojo

Birthday approx August 10, 2007.

His bright red coat gave him the name Rojo. He weighted only 4 pounds when he came to us in May. We think he will be about six pounds when full grown, no way to know just yet. We think he was about nine months old at the time. He is still very  active, since he is still a puppy. We are working on house training and building his confidence with new people. He loves to play with several of the other foster dogs.

A delightful little boy, Rojo is ready to be adopted now. He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and on heartworm preventative. Isn’t he just too darn cute?!
