Owner deceased, her pets need homes

Four companion animals, two adult cats and two adult dogs, need caring, loving homes after recent death of their long-time guardian.
Gypsy is a seven-year-old, spayed, Calico cat who is an inside cat only. She has her shots. Her nickname is "Miss Queen" because she
likes to boss the other cats around. She loves to cuddle up and sleep at the foot of the bed. She will hide for a few mintues when a
stranger enters the house, but will come out a few mintues later to check out the newcomer. She likes to be petted on her back by her
tail. Alazay is a nine-year-old, spayed, Himalayan cat. She too is an inside cat only. She has had her shots. She is the social butterfly of
the cats. She loves to play and be petted. She is very playful and likes to cuddle all the time. She sleeps anywhere she gets comfy. She
is a very relaxed easy going lady.

Daisy and Jasmine are two female, Rottweiler/ Shepherd mix sisters. We would love to keep them together if possible. They are both
microchipped, spayed, and current on shots. They are extremely playful and friendly. They love to chase the leaves that blow around in the yard. They get along very well with children. Neither of them is aggressive with her food. They love to get a milk dog biscuit at night. They love attention from anyone. To offer any of these pets a forever home, contact Dawn Anaya, telephone: 575-644-3420; or e-mail:

in excellent health, up-to-date on her shots and heartworm preventive, and is microchipped. She gets along well with other dogs, but big dogs

snuggling when her human watches TV or relaxes. Currently Loni has been staying outdoors during the day and is crated overnight indoors.

Abandoned Rhodesian Ridgeback Mix Wants Home

Miguel, a male Rhodesian Ridgeback mix abandoned in San Miguel around Thanksgiving has now been rescued and is in search of a forever home. He was alternately mistreated and cared for before being successfully
trapped and brought into the Rhodesian Ridgeback rescue program. Because of the uneven treatment he received, he is still a bit
frightened and wary so will need a foster family or forever guardian to provide him with a safe environment and time to devote to bring him
out of his shell. His insecurity has not, however, made him at all aggressive. In fact, he has warmed up to those caring for him at a local boarding facility to the point of giving tentative kisses. He enjoys the company of other dogs and gently takes treats from adults
and children who have stopped by to meet him. Since being rescued he has been brought up to date on inoculations and he will be neutered in
the near future. His rescuer has so far houldered all the expense of his veterinary care and boarding, but cannot realistically continue to board him at a commercial boarding facility. This guy just wants a safe, loving home and will repay you many times over with loyalty and
affection. To learn more about Miguel, see additional pictures, and to offer him a home, contact Charlene Curry, e-mail:

Three Small Dogs in Need of New Homes

These dogs have all found new homes.

The death of elderly guardian means three much loved and well cared for dogs need new home. The three, two seniors and one adult, are currently cared for by surviving family members, but with several large dogs of their own they cannot provide the secure home for these toy breeds in their household. The three, one female and two males, are up to date on rabies and parvo combo inoculations. They do well with both young and older children. However they are very small dogs so if the children are rough, it wouldn't take much to hurt them. The two senior dogs (12 and 11) and the adult (5) have no known health issues. Ideally, they could all be adopted together. Descriptions of these long-time companions are shown below. To provide these dogs a safe, secure home in their twilight years, contact Greg or Crystal Whited, telephone: Greg 915-241-3322 or Crystal 575-571-1260, or e-mail: coolestnurse@msn.com.

Teresita (top) is a 12-year-old spayed Deerhead Chihuahua. She loves people but is shy at first. She would be very happy to have a place to curl
up and snuggle. She gets along well with other animals. She can be timid but does not have a mean bone in her body. Teresita is very sweet and gentle by nature. She crates well but does not like to be alone for prolonged periods.

Buddy (center) is an 11-year-old neutered Teacup Chihuahua, but he does not act
his age! He acts as if he is 2. He has a lot of personality and is very entertaining to watch. What he lacks in intelligence, he makes
up for in complete humor. He does well with other animals but can be intimidated by a large hyper dog. He thinks he is king of the castle,
but he also does not have a mean bone in his body. He also crates well, but does not like to be left alone for prolonged periods.

Lance (bottom) is a 5-year-old neutered Teacup Poodle. He is a very quiet and has a sweet charm. Everyone who meets this dog falls immediately in love with him. He loves to cuddle and has the cutest little button nose. He is very soft and does well with children and other animals. He is very gentle and friendly. He also crates well.

Buddy and Lance love to play together, they will run around the yard for hours at times. Teresita will play with them from time to time,
but usually would rather sit on the sidelines. She would rather be in someone's lap. They all very friendly and would love to find a home
where they can be loved and cared for.

Two Chihuahua-Poodle Mixes Still Need Homes

Junior and Maddie have been adopted

Junior and Maddie, two 18-month-old, female, chihuahua/poodle crosses must find new homes as new owners of their guardian's rental unit have imposed limits on the number of pets residents may have. Guardians have chosen to keep the parents, in the hope that the younger dogs can find a forever home. These litter mates are both spayed and up to date on inoculations. Junior is a blond, reserved, dog that becomes a
cuddler once she knows you. Maddie is a black dog, playful and happy-go-lucky. Both have been raised with and love children. They
have been outdoor dogs so adopter would need to work with them to make them acceptable house pets. The ideal situation would be for these litter mates to be adopted together, but guardian is willing to separate them to increase their chances of finding new homes.

be adopted together, but if separated it would be good if they were adopted into a home where there is another dog. They have always been outdoor dogs so would require house training if they were to become indoor/outdoor companions. Contact Lily Fuentes, telephone (915) 637-8718.

Two Adult Ladies Still Need Home

Duchess and Missy, two, 10-year-old chow/collie mix litter mates are looking for a forever home after being shuttled between shelters and foster homes after their 90-year-old caretaker was moved to a care facility. Both are up to date on shots and have been spayed. They are active seniors with no apparent health problems. Because of their age and size, they would probably do better in a home with adults or older children. Although house trained, they like to spend most of their time outside so could use a snug doghouse in their yard. Ideally,
these litter mates could be adopted together as they have spent their entire lives in each other's company. They are currently housed in
