My story

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

Hello there, I'm Encino. That means "oak" in Spanish, and like an oak tree, I'm pretty stunning, or so people have told me. I'm a friendly guy who loves cuddles on the couch and nap time. I'm still kind of a pup, though, with plenty of "let's play!" energy. I'm looking for a home where I can be my playful self and work on commands and then snuggle up next to you and feel calm. If you have dogs in your family, please bring them to meet me. I hope to see you soon!

A team member notes, "Encino loves to go out exploring on walks. He gets excited when he sees other humans and dogs, and he makes a unique 'clicking' sound when he's excited. He's a good listener and an overall good boy."

Five Fun Facts About Me:

1. Favorite treats: Freeze dried meats (I also accept cheese and hot dogs :) )
2. Favorite toy: Plush toys, rubber toys and rawhides
3. Favorite activity: Chasing after balls, snuggling
4. Tricks that I know or am working on: Sit, down, and fetch
5. Something you should know about me: When I get excited I click my jaw to ring in the good times

Adoptions are completed on a first come, first served basis. Please note there may be a wait to meet with a pet, dependent on advisor availability.

Please allow plenty of time to meet your perfect pet. Once you have selected a pet, the adoption process will take at least 30 minutes. We do not begin the adoption process after 5:30 pm.

Animal Humane New Mexico performs a background check on all adopters & does not adopt to anyone who has committed a violent crime. We reserve the right to refuse an adoption for any reason.

Please note, visitors must wear their mask indoors at all Animal Humane locations.
