Story
Highlights: -Needs another more confident dog already established in the home -Would do best with a fenced yard -Prefers older children Meet Millie, a 27 pound girl! Though shy with new people, Millie blossoms into a social butterfly with people she trusts. She excitedly play bows and does the most adorable zoomies around her familiar human friends, grinning and hopping around joyfully. She can also be seen wagging her rear and tossing around a toy from time to time. Millie does well with other dogs and is comforted by their presence. Though she prefers they respect her personal space while she gets to know them, she becomes a total goofball and is very playful once she`s comfortable with another dog. Millie would do best in a home with a canine sibling to help her adjust to her new life.Because she can be skittish at first, Millie would do best in a home with a fenced yard. We recommend a home with no young children as she prefers a quiet, calmer environment. Millie will thrive in a patient home with another confident dog. She has so much joy in her heart and lots of love to give to her forever family!If you would like a chance to be Millie`s family and watch her blossom, please apply at NMDR.org.- - - -Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have experienced minimal socialization. As a result, there is often an adjustment period when learning about life as a family pet. Because some of our dogs are very under socialized, they may not be a good fit for young children. Homes with older children will be considered on an individual basis. Common skills such as house training and leash walking will often take extra time. Patience, understanding and a gentle hand are a must. The great news is, many of these dogs come around with patience and being a part of their rehabilitation is an extremely rewarding experience.

Story
Meet Roscoe: The Ultimate Wiggle ButtRoscoe is a friendly and spirited Miniature Australian Shepherd puppy who doesn’t need treats to make friends—he’ll happily approach any human just to say hello! His quick, excited wiggle butt and joyful little jumps are his way of letting you know how thrilled he is to see you.Roscoe is equally friendly with other dogs and loves to play. He’s great at sharing his toys, making him a wonderful playmate. However, Roscoe does have a silly side—he’s either scared of or overly excited about mops and will hilariously “attack” them like a little monster in action.While he doesn’t yet walk on a leash, his love of treats will make training a fun adventure. Roscoe is looking for a loving home where he can bring his goofy, joyful energy and brighten every day with his playful spirit. Could you be the one to give Roscoe the happy home he deserves?- - - - -Before being rescued, many of our dogs have had limited socialization, so they may need a bit of time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog`s individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!

Story
Sparky is an almost 4 yo energetic boy who has a drive to go after chickens and bunnies, which is why he was returned to us, so no access to chickens or bunnies is a must.  He's very affectionate, loves his humans. Good with other dogs (even tiny ones) and kids. He is house trained after getting comfortable in his foster home.  Sparky knows his name, will come when called, will sit for treats, has no resource guarding. He likes being outside, would be happy with a big yard and lots of activity.  If you are interested in adopting, please visit our website and complete an adoption application at www.elpasocountycanine.org/adopt ##1107088##

Story
Kanga is 4 years old and we adopted her as a puppy during covid from Colorado Springs Canine Rescue. She is a sweetheart and a great cuddle buddy. She loves to play and run around. We unfortunately do not have a big enough backyard for her and we have dogs on either side of our house. Our back fence is a brick wall that isn’t as high as a wood fence, and she has jumped it before. She is not socialized with other dogs so she is an only pet type of animal as she hasn’t lived with another pet other than fish. She isn’t the best with very young kids but older kids she loves. She is very skittish when meeting new people and tends to bark and growl but she has never been aggressive towards anyone. She jumps when she is excited and needs someone who is active. She does go to a groomer and has never had any problems or aggression there either. She does have high anxiety when getting boarded at pet hotels for vacation so it’s preferable to have someone come to her. She is also crate trained.

Story
Maverick is a very sweet 5 month old aussie. We took him in for a family friend about a month ago but we live in a small apartment and are not home enough to give him the attention he needs. We want maverick to go to a home where he can run and play. He absolutely loves playing fetch, tug a war, with other dogs and children. He also loves to cuddle up on the couch and get belly rubs. He does not do well with cats as he has a high prey drive. The past month we have had some issues with him barking but he’s slowly improving.

Story
These two wonderful pups, Dalila (black with white and brown) and Sampson, must stay together as they are bonded and truly great dogs. Unfortunately, my girlfriend and I recently moved in together, and I already have two dogs. One of my dogs, who has a "Queen Bee" personality, has not been able to accept Dalila, even though Dalila has not been the aggressor. Despite our best efforts over the past few months to integrate them, the tension remains. It’s not fair to any of the dogs to keep them separated and kenneled, whether inside or outside. After much thought, we’ve made the difficult decision to rehome Dalila and Sampson to a loving family who can provide them with the happy, fulfilling life moving forward. Dalila and Sampson are home trained, kennel trained and doggy door trained.

Story
HOMEOWNERSHIP REQUIRED! Meet TicTac! This perfect little girl is just everything you could ask for in a pup! TicTac is up to date on puppy shots, chipped and spayed. She is 5 months old and about 15 pounds. She is basically every positive adjective you can think of! She's energetic when it's play time, but knows how to stay calm during down time. She's infinitely smart and picks up on your body language instinctively. She loves her person's attention more than anything, but also knows how to entertain yourself if you need a moment or are busy. TicTac has not been exposed to kids or cats, but given how loving she is with everyone she meets, I don't think she'd have any problems with either! She gets along wonderfully with my two big dogs and gets right in there during playtime! TicTac is a little shy in new situations but readily puts her trust in you and gets comfortable pretty quickly. She does have some crate anxiety, but does better every day. It seems she just needs to build trust with her humans, that they will always come back. In the couple weeks she's been with us, she's almost completely picked up on potty training, uses puppy pads like a champ, has learned ‘sit’, and picked up on a few other phrases like ‘let's go potty,’ ‘are you hungry,’ ‘off,’ ‘come here,’ and ‘no.’ The kicker is, she picked up on all that on her own, zero training or instruction! I can only imagine how awesome TicTac could be with some proper training attention. Completing her potty training should be a breeze! She would be a perfect adventure companion but also could do great in a calmer environment with some regular playtime. She just wants to be involved and included in your life, no matter what that looks like. TicTac falls in love quickly and is completely ready to find her forever home!
