My story

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

Holy cow! Meet Clarabelle, our adorable little sweetheart! At around 12lbs, she`s a fantastic little companion. She can be very nervous at a first meeting, and is scared at first of being picked up, and she WILL be very vocal about it, but if you sit down and let her come to you, and give her lots of time and affection, she`s an absolutely lovely little gal. But Clarabelle has been making such excellent strides in her foster home! She gets along well with their resident cat, and she loves to sunbathe outdoors! She enjoys playing hide and chase and likes to play ball! She is a funny and sweet girl. Clarabelle is VERY treat motivated, so it could be a great way to teach her some new tricks, because she can even `sit pretty` while she waits for a snack!
She can be put on a leash, but has shown ZERO interest in taking walks, so far. She DOES love going for walks in a stroller, though! She`d be great in a home full of calm and relaxation, and of course treats and snuggles! We also think a home with at least one other dog, or a cat, would be ideal for her, since she seems to be better with other pets than by herself. Who is ready to give this little cowgirl her safe home on the range?!

Clarabelle is currently in a wonderful foster home!

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.
