My personality

My story

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

Salem is a medium sized lab/aussie mix (as far as we can tell). She has the lab face but the fluffy fur and tail of an aussie. She's maybe 2-3 years old.
Salem is a very shy but cuddly pup. She will follow you around like a duckling and immediately flop over for belly rubs if you go to pet her. She is really really sweet and she enjoys treats. If she could have someone petting her 24/7 she would! She would be the perfect fluffy partner to keep you warm. She also has quite the voice on her, and she loves to sing.

Their adoption process

1.
Submit Application

Application to adopt and instructions to submit found here: https://www.sandovalcountynm.gov/departments/community-services/animal-welfare/

2.
Interview

Brief phone interview to discuss the pet's history and determine if they may be a potential fit for the family interested.

3.
Meet the Pet

Meet and greet at your house or admin kennels in Bernalillo.

4.
Home Check

Home visit to ensure the pet fits in well and check for any potential hazards in the home (holes in the fence, items to chew on, etc).

5.
Sign Adoption Contract

After or within a 30 day trial period, you may finalize your adoption by signing a contract which transfers ownership to the adopter.

6.
Pay Fee

Currently all fees are waived due to overwhelming numbers.

Additional adoption info

After applying for an adoptable animal we screen all adopters via application, phone interview and meet/greet. Once that has gone through we will schedule a home visit to ensure everyone is happy with their decision.
If the home visit goes well and the adopter wants to move forward we will leave the pet in their possession and allow them to "foster" for up to two weeks to make their final decision. If the decision is to adopt, we will finalize paperwork, collect the adoption fee, and transfer all information to the new adopters.
