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.

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. Posted Dec. 23, 2019

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.

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.
