Story
Meet Turquoise Boy, the canine version of a fine wine that’s only getting better with age! Born as a pure white fluffball, this little guy is now sporting a sprinkle of adorable freckles – talk about a glow-up! He’ll be 8 weeks old on January 18th, and we can’t wait to see what other surprises he has in store. This affectionate puppy is basically a furry heartthrob, always ready to cuddle and shower you with love. If you’re in need of a personal snuggle buddy, look no further! With a mom who tips the scales at about 40 pounds, we’re betting Turquoise Boy might just be a future heavyweight champion of the doggie world, potentially surpassing 60 pounds once he’s all grown up. We’re taking applications right now, but let’s be real—he won't be available for adoption until he’s 8 weeks old. So, if you want to secure your spot in the lineup for the cutest cuddle muffin on the block, don’t wait too long! This charming pup is ready to win hearts – and maybe a spot on your couch! If you're interested in meeting Turquoise Boy, come to our adoption event on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month from 11am-2pm, located at 6300 San Mateo NE in the south Sprouts parking lot. Alternatively, we can arrange a Private Meet-and-Greet with the foster parent and your household with a completed application. Complete an easy, no-obligation online application and take the first step towards welcoming Turquoise Boy into your home by clicking on this link https://form.jotform.com/222028369049155 The adoption fee covers all vaccines, spay, microchip, and heartworm/tick-borne illness testing.

Story
Introducing Jet! He's got a face that could stop traffic—seriously, people have been known to pull over just to admire his teddy bear charm. With silky, jet-black, wavy fur that seems to be auditioning for a shampoo commercial, he's a walking billboard for "How to Be Fabulous." Jet has a personality so regal that if he had a crown, he’d probably appoint himself “King of the Couch.” His daily schedule includes mandatory puppy-pile nap sessions, where he can often be found snoozing like a tiny tyrant among his subjects. And trust us, his Foster Mommy can't resist his royal demands for belly rubs and treats. We think Jet's going to be a big guy—over 60 pounds of pure love and occasionally accidental toe-stepping. With a laid-back approach to life, he’s always ready to see what new forms of fun he can get into—whether that's chasing his own tail or plotting world domination, one treat at a time. So if you're ready for a furry friend who’s part teddy bear, part king, and all heart, Jet is your guy! If you're interested in meeting Jet, come to our adoption event on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month from 11am-2pm, located at 6300 San Mateo NE in the south Sprouts parking lot. Alternatively, we can arrange a Private Meet-and-Greet with the foster parent and your household with a completed application.

Hi friends, I'm Paulie, and I'm ready to to be your new best friend. Just look at this face - how can you resist? I'm a little bit older, which just means I've had time to learn the important things, like how to walk on a leash and be polite around humans and other dogs. My human friends describe me as very kind, gentle and sweet. I think you need to come see for yourself - I can't wait to meet you!

These pups are in Rio Rancho, New Mexico too!

Story
Jack Jack is a medium sized super high energy doggo that loves to run and play! He is people selective and loves to protect his family. Because he tends to get very attached, he would need a home where someone is there for me 24/7. He prefers females as he is more comfortable with them, so he would need to go slow when meeting males. He is great with other dogs and would love to have a playmate. He also loves to play in water, so a small dog pool is preferred!! He is definitely still a puppy at heart and gets incredibly fast zoomies! He would do best in a home where he can be very active and play as long as he wants! He would also do best in a home with older children and adults since he is very high energy. If you are looking for a hiking buddy, a running buddy or just a very active playmate he would be the perfect fit for you!He can be found at the main ranch location.

Meet Monica,This sweet 30lb Border Collie Mix is just so excited to find her forever family. While she is still young she does not have much growing to do if at all. She is great with other dogs, knows how to sit when asked and just loves all people. She is a bit of a door darter so her new family would need to work on that, so she doesn`t run out of the house and get lost.If you are interested in Monica you can come to our main ranch location or email dogswmr@gmail.com
