Immediate rehome/foster needed

This dog needs immediate rehoming. Kaylie is one  year and four months old,  spayed,   super sweet and lovable,   hardly barks.   She   is energetic,   walks and runs,   gets along well with cats, dogs, people

Owners are military folks and are being deployed and cannot take Kaylie with them. Kaylie comes with impeccable references. Kaylie was adopted from El Paso Animal Control Shelter and apparently the shelter will not take her back. Other organizations have said they were full or have some reason that Kaylie does not fit their program, size perhaps. We are hoping someone can adopt Kaylie or provide a secure foster for a large dog until a new home can be found.   Please contact Shea directly,  sheapeterson12@gmail.com  if you can help out, then contact HSSNM, 575-647-1416, for further assistance that may be available.

Cat needs a home!

This beautiful cat that is currently being fostered by a good Samaritan. Vetted and released from the shelter without a designated Las Cruces colony identified, this cat if turned into the shelter will be killed  without being offered for adoption, according to the ASCMV and city of Las Cruces animal control policies as they stand now.
​
She is between 2 to 3 years  old, and will   probably do fine with cat-friendly dogs.  She is friendly, likes to be loved on but doesn't like to be held for very long.   She seems ok with sniffing at the foster's dogs, but easily skittish if the one dog gets too excited with her.  She typically sniffs at their cats, then some growling, but seems mostly indifferent. 

 This cat is certainly not feral and is altered and vaccinated. She needs a home! Please contact Frank at 575-647-1416.

 Found big kitty

BIG sweet male kitty  found meowing under a car at Target earlier this week. Tried to find his home via social media, however no one came forward.

Lab  mix needs a new home

This boy is named Lemmy and he is almost 1 1/2 years old. He is a lab mix. He is the sweetest dog and is great with people. He is neutered, potty trained, current in all his shots, and is microchipped. Since he's still pretty young, he has so much energy. His favorite things to do are play with his ball outside and snuggle. He’s good with cats. He’s never really been around other dogs. He really is the sweetest dog, however, he needs a lot more time and attention that what I can currently give him. If interested or have any questions, please feel free to call or text  Savannah at 575-714-5323.

 Permanent home needed for found cat

Lucky was found in the northern   desert  about 18 months ago,  as a starving female  kitten. Since then her human parents made sure she was taken care of by getting her spayed  and all of her shots.  She loves to cuddle, play and go for walks with her harness. Lucky is very friendly  with people and other pets. She's somewhat of a nomadic cat and enjoys being outside, running, climbing trees and chasing  critters.

The current fosters are state park volunteers and Lucky needs a more permanent home. You can contact Frank at 575-647-1416 or Sandy at 505-205-4204 if Lucky fits with you.
