 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.

Home(s) needed for rescued cats

​Two cats, a ten month old tabby, not yet neutered, and a senior, male neutered cat, who has also been chipped, showed up around July-August 2018 at the rescuer's house, and the family has been fostering them while seeking a permanent home for both.

The senior cat, who has been microchipped, was hit by a car about 6 weeks ago; rescuer took him to the vet, paid for the vets bills out of pocket and he is recovered. His rear, left leg and foot had been broken, and for a while he couldn’t even lift his tail, but his tail has had full movement for at least one month. This cat had been adopted from the shelter about 9 years ago, named Rascal by the person who adopted him, but then had to put Rascal back up for adoption. Rascal is very sweet, gets along with cats, dogs, is litter box trained.
 
The orange tabby kitten, is about 9 months old, gets along with cats and dogs, but can be skittish around men. He very sweet, and would respond positively, to a loving permanent home. If interested, please email Lisa at beingwell1964@gmail.com.

Rehome needed for young dog

Duke is now 9 months old and was 45 lbs last month at the vet.  He is really a nice dog, but very active and needs more attention than we can give him at this point.  I am working and my husband has some major back and hip issues that cause him a lot of pain and we can't give Duke the attention he needs.  As you can see he is a handsome guy and we want to give him a better suited home. Please let me know if you can help us out.  He has had all of his shots and has been neutered.  I also just took him for a nail trim.  You can reach me at 480-845-4537 or my e-mail @ friskytrigger@aol.com.

Lab needs loving new home

Oso is a 1 year old 45-50 lbs Labrador. He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and chipped. Current owner has  two  other dogs he doesn't get along with very well as they are very territorial and don't accept him. Oso is good with strangers (and dogs in general) will always run up to people with a wagging tail. He loves to howl and will howl at anything. He will howl to greet you, get your attention or if he's just feeling like a big giant fur baby, (which he always does). He might not be so good around puppies as he's not as playful he was when a puppy. He has not been introduced to cats, but can live in harmony with birds. He loves toys and will cuddle up to them at night still holding them in his mouth to sleep at night with. He is house trained and won't destroy your things. He was originally adopted at the El Paso Animal Services and owner  can provide all of his documentation (vaccines, adoption, etc). He is not up to date on his heartworm. If you can give Oso a loving home please contact Tracy at pili_tracy7@yahoo.com

3 cats need to be rehomed
 
These are all indoor cats. They are all microchipped and spayed/neutered, but not up to date on shots. They   are very attached to each other.   

Mugsy is a black kitty with just a little tiny bit of white on his chest. He's very lovable  and is very affectionate and adventurous.    Gavin is the orange striped tabby. He eats a lot as a comfort and is also very affectionate. He is very playful and will follow you around. Myst    is a   shy cat but once she warms up to you can practically wear her like a scarf. She is timid but is always loving your attention.  

They need a good safe loving home.  Please contact Diana  at  575-805-1457 if you can help.
