My story

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

Have you ever wanted a rescue dog who just been in the system too long and is patiently waiting for his forever family? What if we told you, he is beyond sweet, loves most other dogs and people... would that make you want to give him a forever home?

Meet Remington! A 7 year old sweet boy who has been here at the ranch since 2021. He would do best in a home with kids 12 and over. Remington was in a home for a short time and here is what he had to say about Remington in the home.

*never crated or kenneled during his time with me.
*He was alone for most of the day (10 hrs) and had no accidents in the house.
*Although he didn’t have accidents or problems when he was alone, I think being alone everyday caused him anxiety and believe he would do better with a companion (human or dog).
*Additionally he did not chew or destroy anything in the house. He would probably go through the trash but I moved it to the garage. He did takeover the couch during the day and night.
*He does have a lot of energy and he enjoys being outside. I did walk him everyday (morning and night) but his energy did not seem to decrease.
*He is definitely food motivated and always wanted whatever food I had. (I fed him only in the morning)
*He was never around other people so I don’t know how he would respond to larger groups, children, etc.
*He seemed to be more interested in dogs than people but I never let him get close to other dogs. I don’t know what he would have done.
*In general, I believe he is well-behaved and with proper training he will be a wonderful companion/friend.

He can be see at the main ranch location. For more information, please email dogswmr@gmail.com

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.
