Approximate DOB 7/1/2023

Approximate Adult Size - Small about 9 lbs

History- This young girl ended up at a local shelter as a new mom with 4 cute little bundles of love. They were labeled as strays. The shelter tried finding a foster home for her. However, being a new momma she was threatening everyone who went near her and her babies. Nobody was willing to take the momma in to give her and her babies a chance. We just so happened to have some space and had contacted the shelter about another dog needing us. The staff member didn't know much about him off the top of her head but she did know this little girl so sent pictures and told me her story and let me know they were urgently in need of rescue since Miss Tinker was only letting a couple people near her babies. So when we picked up the first dog we said yes to we grabbed her and her babies as well. The babies have since been adopted and now it is Tinkers turn to find her forever family. 

Temperament- Super sweet, very smart, loves attention, and tries really hard to do what is expected of her. She is just a sweet little dog and wants nothing more than to be loved on. She enjoys sitting in the chair next to mine so that she can be higher than the other dogs and get pets. She lets the grandkids love on her and pet her and is just so sweet. 

Energy Level- Pretty mellow for the most part though she will attempt to play fetch sometimes. 

Dogs/Cats- Ignores the cats completely. She enjoys playing chase with the other dogs. 

Housetrained- She is crate trained and house trained. However, she was not house trained when she got here so she was more than likely an outdoor dog. So as with all new dogs she should be watched initially to ensure she doesn't start having accidents- she needs to be shown the rules from the get go. 

Tinker just needed to learn that nobody was going to hurt her and her babies. Once she realized they were all safe and loved she just turned into the sweetest girl ever. She is just such a little tiny gem with big ears. She is absolutely perfect - with such a wonderful temperament she won't last long as I imagine once people see how perfect and uniquely beautiful she is we will get slammed with applications so get yours in if you want to meet this sweet girl. She will make an absolutely wonderful addition to any family wanting that perfet little dog to love.   

Adoption fee $300 includes spay, age appropriate vaccinations (4 for puppies), deworming, microchip, rabies, collar and leash, training information, and all the support you need.

Additional adoption info

If you are interested in adopting from us but have questions please feel free to e-mail us at adopt@almosthomenm.org

In order to start the application process you must send us an e-mail request for an application. We will e-mail it to you as soon as possible. Then just fill it out and send it back via e-mail. Once we receive it then we can schedule an appointment for you to come out and meet the animals.

We are not an open to the public facility with specific hours of operation. We are a foster home and therefore require an application submitted before an appointment can be made and directions given out.

If you would like to adopt from out of state then you must be willing to come out to meet and adopt the pet you are interested in.. We do not ship pets nor will we meet someone somewhere.. We want adopters to come out and spend at least an hour with this pet in their environment before adopting just to ensure there is a connection. We would hate for the adoption to not work and be so far away.

More about this rescue

We are a newly formed rescue in Peralta, NM. We are still very small and currently in process of getting our 501c3 tax exempt status.It is mainly just myself, my two daughters and a small group of volunteers. We only take in animals from shelters who are scheduled to be put down. All animals are housed in my home and on my property. We started this rescue due to the simple fact that there are so many wonderful dogs dying everyday at the shelters because there just isn't enough room.We do not discriminate against any breed. Every dog has the potential to be a great family pet, working dog, or therapy dog- just as every dog has the potential to become a "dangerous dog" due to the simple fact that they all (or most anyway) have teeth and can bite when provoked or trained to obey their owners commands.
We do it for the love of the animals and the need to find forever homes for the ones impounded due to no fault of their own.
