Story
We don`t know exactly what kind of pup Adonis is going to turn out to be, but one thing we do know is that he`s going to be handsome as any! His unique markings and droopy ears are just the start of this boy`s charm, he`s already learned to show off puppy eyes and the most adorable puppy shuffle you`ve ever seen. He`s 13 pounds and we expect him to be a medium to large as an adult.Adonis` adoption fee is $150. He is neutered and microchipped and has age-appropriate vaccinations. A licensing fee may apply. Santa Fe Animal Shelter is proud to partner with GoodPup! Dogs learn best in familiar, comfortable environments with few distractions, so GoodPup training happens at home. Short, focused sessions allow your dog to concentrate and guided daily practice quickly cements new skills. Meet with a top-rated, expert dog trainer each week, on 1-1 video calls, while learning essential skills that solve any unwanted dog behavior. Best of all, anyone who adopts a dog from us will receive 1 FREE week of dog training, plus 10% off for life on future activity. In addition, GoodPup will donate to the SFAS!

He enjoys his walks—he’s still perfecting his leash skills! He’s looking for a home that can give him the affection he craves and a secure fence to keep him safe.
