Desert Paws Animal Rescue

It takes one person to abandon an animal.
It takes a community to get that pet adopted.
Desert Paws is a New Mexico non-profit, no-kill animal rescue and adoption service. We foster pets who are abandoned or are at risk of being killed at local animal shelters. We also work with families to KEEP their family pets. If a pet must be re-homed due to death/illness of owner, we help re-home the pet and avoid shelter placement. We believe in the no-kill concept. We are an all-volunteer organization and 100% of your donations go towards pet food and medical care.

Teddy Bear HANK

May 12, 2012

Hank’s a happy goofy dog yet well-trained……he recently graduated from his Canine Good Citizenship class (a nationally-recognized training certificate). Come give him the forever home he deserves!

 

 

 

 

HANK is a 5-7 year old happy and goofy dog looking for the right family to love him. He loves to ride shotgun, play ball, and take afternoon naps. He would be good as an only dog or with a lower key female to hang around with. No young children as he is older and should not be crawled on due to his recovering back. However he could be entertained for hours if an older child wanted to pay his favorite game, Fetch!! An older family would do very well also.

He is recovering from a muscle strain in his back and a young dog who would play too rough would not be the best option for him. He is great in the house and LOVES his Kong or any toy you give him. He even has a pet rock he will carry around and sleep with in his crate, seriously!!

HANK is crate, house, and leash trained and has spent several weeks with a trainer learning how to be a great little gentleman. Hank has obtained enough training to earn his Canine Good Citizen Certificate and comes with a free training session so you can learn all his commands. Hank is a wonderful dog looking for that special person who will be his forever home.

HANK is neutered and up-to date with his vaccinations. To meet the HANK please email: DesertPawsNM@live.com  505-702-9396  DesertPawsNM.org

It’s KITTEN and PUPPY season!

We need VOLUNTEER FOSTER FAMILIES (we take care of the medical needs – you provide love and safety). And DAYCARE  HELPERS are needed as well – some people work all day but want to foster at night/weekends so we need day care helpers who take the pups or kittens during the daytime and give them back to the nightime and weekend fosterers. We can really use your help! DesertPawsNM@live.com 505-702-9396
