Story
Through no fault of her own instead out of extreme love Pink is looking for her forever home. My health has gotten worse w/my fibromyalgia and lupus and I cant give her the physical stimuli she needs deserves. Shes used to hikes long walks going swimming. Pink is an extreme rescue. Her litter mates mom &aunt were dumped a 4 hour round trip hike out in middle of nowhere. When someone posted about them we got together with others to help rescue them. She was skin bones covered in fleas terrified of adults especially men when we got her. Because shelters were full they would have been euthanized. We brought Pink home w/ intention to foster that got upended when back yard breeder was found as their story was posted on social media Due to it going to court adoption was out in order to keep her safe we kept her. We love her beyond belief. Shes wicked smart loves to play fetch needs to be crated @night or has accidents needs huge yard, shes high energy needs a job has separation anxiety.

Story
Brittany can be reached at 575-740-6235 (call/text). Brittany is taking care of these three husky dogs. They belonged to her father in law but he moved and left the dogs with Brittany. She needs to find them a home. All information has been provided by Brittany.  They've always been outside dogs so probably not house trained. They are not good with cats. They have only been living with each other and have not been socialized with other dogs. Two of them are one year old and the other is two years old. All three are males. They are not neutered. (Low cost neuters have been offered.) They had a set of shots as puppies but are not up to date on shots now.    To discuss adopting one of these beautiful dogs who deserve better, Brittany can be reached at 575-740-6235 (call/text).      Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 10, 2024, 11:59 am

Story
Hello folks! I'm Nutmeg and I'm everything you're looking for in a dog. Need housetrained? I wouldn't dream of making a mess. Need a girl who excels at agility and is active but also loves lounging with you on the sofa with you watching Netflix? Righty-oh! Thats me. Want a pup who pays close attention to everything her owners says? I'm your girl! I know my commands, look and listen, and focus well on my people. But more than that, I've lived in a family with children and was the apple of my family's eye. They could not keep me but can attest to the love in my heart, the goodness of my soul, the gentleness and kindness I bring to my home. I'm an absolute gem and I aim to show you that on our very first meeting. I am five years old, maybe a beagle/terrier mix, and 40 pounds. I am friendly, happy, and sweet. I've lived well with a dog my size and my family said I am good with cats too. I would be happy to have a family where there is usually someone around like a parent or another pet, as I am used to a lot of togetherness. I enjoy being in a loving home so much and I cannot wait until I have that again. Until then, I'll keep making everyone here at Desert Haven smile. I have a big beautiful one of my own too and I like to use it often. I'm a happy girl even though I have a medical condition. I have diabetes. This is a condition which requires me to have a shot of insulin after I eat breakfast and another shot of insulin after supper. I'll need these insulin injections for the rest of my life. My insulin helps me stay healthy and I know that so guess what I do? I sit perfectly well for my shot. My caretaker is able to give my shot lickety split and then we hug and it's like it didn't even happen! I'm such a good girl. I wonder if there is a human diabetic out there that would love me as a companion? But really, the shots are pretty simple so anyone who is awesome could make me part of their family and the folks at Desert Haven will teach you all about my healthcare plan and how to do my injections and meal timings. My health condition is a blip in my day really. The rest of the time we spend hanging out and snuggling together. I have a big soft cushy doggie bed and I love to jump into it then I get cozy. I love going for walks too. I'll also be spending a lot of time snoozing lots of the day away because you know how us dogs like to snoozeatooze. But don't forget play time because that's on of my favorite times of the day. Chase chase chase the toys! Squeak squeak squeak. Most of all though, I crave love. I am love! So if I'm your girl, there will be big love in store for all of us. I am a bestie of all besties. Are you in need of a companion? I am yours. To meet me: Drop in at Desert Haven on Tuesdays 9-4 or call/text 575-740-0643 to schedule an appointment any day of the week because guess what Greta does, she drops everything to do intros!

Story
Hello there! You know what I think I'd like to be? A camping, travel, and hiking buddy. That'd be swell. I am so smart (not to brag but I am) and learn so quickly that I bet I'll have this off leash "with me" thing down pat in no time. I aim to please my people so being close by is important to me and what's closer than all of us inside a tent! And we'll have s'mores around the campfire and tell ghost stories. That sounds like a great life to me! Plus, I'm puppy perfection when I ride in the vehicle. I sit nice, watch out the window, and will have a grand time heading to places with my family. So, I'd be a good travel dog, camping pup, and hiking friend. What else? Hmmm I'm also a fabulous play partner for another dog while I live at Desert Haven so I'm sure I can transfer that to another dog in my new home. I like to play play play then sleep sleep sleep. Then when we wake up let's play some more! I'd also do great as an only dog as long as my family commits to giving me exercise and playtimes so I can burn my puppy energy in productive ways. Tug, chasing balls, walks, etc will do! I'm only 11 months old right now and full of excitement and eagerness. I have big energy and like to have firm boundaries from my people. I'm one of those real good boys who make their family super proud and listen very well when I know what I'm supposed to do. I don't get upset when you boss me; I don't want to be in charge I'm just a puppy! I like to be outside and I love water too! I could be a swimming dog! I could be a walking companion because I hold the distinction of being the dog at Desert Haven that pulls the least. Yep, that's right, I enjoy walking alongside my people. Then when the volunteer dog walkers sit down I often will sit right on the bench too for some petsies and some snuggles. I think what my family will enjoy about me the most is how much they love me, how often I make them smile, and how proud they will be of me. I am looking for a family that watches over me and guides me to be the best adult dog ever! And since I'm already 11 months old we better get started very soon! Is a goodest boy in your future? I'm here! It's me! Love, TwixVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 28, 2024, 12:37 pm

Story
Hello, I'm Crockett! I am six months old (born May 1) and I am living at Desert Haven until I get adopted. Here at Desert Haven I have always had roommates because I meet every dog in a happy and friendly way. I am submissive when needed or I can take the lead in the play. I'm good with cats too. Cats are a little different from me and I think that's curious and neat. And people? Boy howdy! Young, old, and everything in between - I love each and every hooman on the planet! Wanna know why? Because they have hands and hearts. Hands are for petting me because there is no such thing as too much belly rubs. Hands are for clapping for me when I do a good sit because I love to bask in your praise. Hands are for holding my leash because I really enjoy going for walks. And hearts! Oh, hearts! I have an enormous one so I really want a family that can match the love in my heart. My family should want a goodest boy with a heart of gold. I am tender and sweet. Playful and happy. Plus, I can lounge and nap with the best of em. To be honest, I am equally happy with a do-nothing day lounging on the sofa while you read or watch Netflix as I am to get in my harness and go for a hike. I am not one of those go-go-go puppies though I am ready to go to the patio at the Brewery when you are. But above all, snuggling is one of my favorite pastimes so I will put in my order now for a family who wants a puppy who loves being affectionate. Here's how it will probably go when you come to meet me: When I see you and I catch your eye, I will lay down and show you my belly so you can rub it. Once you start rubbing it we'll lock eyes and then good luck to you because the Belly Rub Invitation is my speciality and very few people can resist it. Best to bring a collar and leash along because if you have loving hands, room in your heart, and the want for the best puppy ever -- you'll be making me yours. See you soon. Love, Crockett    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 17, 2025, 12:54 pm
