I was adopted as a little guy but came back because they worked a lot and did not have the time to train me. I am still a puppy and would love to find a furever home. My foster mom is working on potty training me adn I am a quick learner but just need time and patience. Are you the one who is willing to give me that chance? I am sweet and happy and cuddly. A $75 non-refundable deposit is required to hold a puppy.

I am a playfule puppy with a lot of energy. I can be just a little shy at first but warm up quickly. That is probably because I was found wandering and am not sure of where I belong yet. I will be ready for adoption in December. Ready for a great pup? Adopt me!! A $75 non-refundable deposit is required to hold a puppy.

I am an older guy. I am blind in one eye. I am happy to just hang out and do my own thing. I would be a great friend for someone who wants a quiet companion.

I am a beautiful young girl - OK - not sure how much chihuahua is in me - but that's ok. ACR took me in anyway because I had no where to go. I have looooong legs and big ears. I am sweet and loving. I tend to jump out of pens - I don't like to be confined. I am learning to sleep in a crate at night and I am learning to be potty trained. I would love to have a furever home to be myself and loved. I will be ready for adoption at the end of September. A $75 non-refundable deposit is required to hold a puppy.

I am a sweet girl but I am a very scared and shy woman. I want to be petted and loved but it takes me time to get to know you. I need patience and love. Even though I am older, I am very playful and full of life. Are you the one who will be patient with me and give me the security and love I need?

He`s no gentle Ben, but he`s a lot of fun! At 26lbs, Ben is a chonky bundle of energy and fun! He gets along really well with other dogs, especially with dogs that can match his level of play! If you have another dog, we always recommend bringing them along to meet! Ben would be happiest in a home that gives lots of play, lots of fun, and of course a LOT of love!

Labrador Retriever Mix Dog For Adoption to Good Home in or near Albuquerque, NM Request to Meet Narnia Here! There is a $75 Adoption Processing Fee. Supplies and Vet Records Will Be Included Hi, My name is Narnia! Location: Albuquerque, NM, 87120 Type of Pet: Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever and Pit Bull Age: ~2 years old Color/Coat Type: Black with white markings Size: 65lbs Health Issues: No Behavior Issues: chewing Narnia is: Spayed, Microchipped, Fully vaccinated, House Broken Narnia gets along with: Small Children, Older Children Personality Narnia has the sweetest, loving, caring and gentlest soul of any dog I have ever met. She loves to be held, played with, talked to, cuddled. She just loves to love you and everyone. She is great with children, people and anyone who will give her attention. She is a little nervous at first meeting someone because of her past experiences but then ends up cuddling with you within 10 mins of meeting you. She loves attention and usually likes to be the center of attention. She's extremely playful and will spend the day just jumping on her toys and playing with them and you. She is also very energetic and needs a place to be able to run because she loves playing tag. Reason For Rehoming I rescued a terrier/miniature pincher mix 6 years ago, Bella, and wanted to get her a companion. I adopted Narnia in March 2016 because her and Bella got a long so well initially. Shared bones, shared dog bowls, cuddled together...they were inseparable. Until I bought a house and we moved. Once we moved, I bought them a bone each and that is when the fighting started. Bella started resource guarding and attacking Narnia. Narnia being bigger would attack back and Bella had to go into surgery three times. Bella is severely scared from this experience, I had to place Narnia at a friends house to give Bella a chance to recover. Bella is still sick with an abscess and very scared at everything. If you would like to consider offering Narnia a loving, forever home, please fill out our Request To Meet A Pet form here: http://findmypetahome.com/adopt-a-pet/ Once received, we will contact you to discuss your request and set up a mutually convenient time to meet Narnia and their owner in their home.
