Sanctuary Dogs
Bailey
Bailey has been with us since 2021.
She is with us because of her unpredictability and protectiveness.
Bailey loves her packmates, especially her besties Taz and Rita. Pack walks and enjoying the backyard are her favorite activities.
Her favorite treat is a bully!!
Peek a Boo
Peek a Boo has been with us since June of 2024.
She has fly-biting syndrome and is heartworm-positive.
Boo, as we affectionately call her, loves the “art of the walk.” It is all about the strategic sniffs and rolls. She taught us to “Stop and smell the Roses.” Enjoy the small things in life.
Her favorite treat is liver treats!
Lucky
Lucky has been with us since 2023
Lucky has one of the sadder stories for us. He has terrible separation anxiety. His owner decided she needed to rehome him at nine because she had moved into a new living arrangement and did not consider Lucky and his separation anxiety into her new mix. When Lucky started to tear things up, she moved Lucky out.
Lucky loves his pack walks and his girls, Rita and Tazzer. He is the grandpa of the group - everyone loves wise old Lucky!
Lucky’s favorite treat is the bully stick!
Anika
Anika came to the sanctuary in 2022. Our plan was to adopt her out as she is the cutest Boxer ever, but she had several health issues and is extremely fearful around unfamiliar people, especially men, so adoption never happened. Anika loves living at the sanctuary—she especially loves her pack wanders and greeting the new puppies when they come in and making them feel at home.
Anika is really into her bully sticks!
Sophie
Sophie came to the sanctuary in 2022.
Sophie is the sweetest girl in the world but is deathly afraid of anything unfamiliar, including people, dogs, and circumstances. She went into a foster home, which did not go well. The sanctuary people and sanctuary pack have become her familiar. She loves the sanctuary, especially her buddies Anika. She loves her pack walks and running like a gazelle.
Sophie loves her bully sticks!!
Rita
Rita came to the sanctuary in 2021
Rita belonged to a family but was very afraid of people. She bonded with her human mom but was unpredictable around other family members. After some biting incidents, Rita was turned over to the sanctuary. She is super smart and is often used as a training demo dog. Rita loves living at the sanctuary with all her buddies. She gets lots of exercise and playtime.
Rita loves her bully sticks!
Buddy, Belle, and Benji
Our Honorary Sanctuary Dogs
They moved back from Mexico with us in 2015 and were all rescued in 2012. They were the original dogs that would be rescued and rehomed, but because of different circumstances, they never found homes.
They have always loved the new additions to our pack, getting along well with the other dogs and adapting to ever-changing circumstances.
We love our honorary sanctuaries!!
Their favorite treats are bullies, of course!
Sport - Adoptable
Sport is a super sweet pup who came to us in November, he was rescued off the E list. He was found as a stray and was at the shelter for two years without being adopted. Sport is the perfect example of why we exist. He is a great dog who just needed a chance. So we stepped in and adopted him. He is actually very adoptable, so please look at his profile on our adoption page. He is super sweet, very obedient, and smart. He loves being at the sanctuary because he gets plenty of walks and runs!
Sports Favorite treats are bully sticks!
Brody
Brody came to us as a tiny 4-week-old puppy. He was found abandoned by someone in town who took him to the vet, and then he came to live with us. To see him go from a pup with no hair, skin problems, worm issues - to the awesome pup he is today has been amazing! He is very shy away from the sanctuary; this is the only home he has ever known. His favorite things to do is run and play with the other sanctuary dogs.
Brody likes ANY treat!
Majken - used to be Aspen
Miss Majken came to us from a shelter in LA. She was seen as difficult to adopt out because she is scared of men. She came to the sanctuary, and we are having such a good time with her! She is so sweet and loves to play with the other dogs. There is never a dull walk or play group - Majken makes sure of that. We had to change Majken's name from Aspen, as we already had an Aspen, and we were all getting confused. Majken loves all treats, especially Bully's!
River and Sky
River and Sky are our feral fellas of the "pack." They were on the euthanasia list in an NM shelter. Though they have improved, we still have difficulty touching them. They have their own space where they are safe and can be the dogs that they are. They love to be outside, letting the world know they are ready to rumble.
Sweet Pea - Adoptable
Sweet Pea showed up in your yard about 2 weeks away from giving birth. She gave birth to 4 little bundles of fun, which have since been adopted into loving families in AZ.
We believe she is about 3-years old. She is a lovebug who adores people and other dogs. She’s loyal, affectionate, and forms a deep bond with her person. She enjoys walks, playtime with her dog friends, and being by your side. Sweet Pea is spayed, fully vaccinated, and currently undergoing slow-kill heartworm treatment. Cat compatibility is unknown. She’s ready for a forever home filled with love.
Macy - Adoptable
We got a call about Macy, and could not turn her away. She was found roaming the streets so emaciated, that when she arrived, she could not eat. It took weeks for her to recover, but recover she did, and she is the sweetest dog ever. The cruelty she endured did not define her, she loves, plays, and enjoys life.
We thing she is about a 2-years old. She is a bundle of joy with playful energy to spare. She loves people, gets along well with other dogs, and thrives on activity, walks, and playtime. Cat compatibility is unknown. Macy is spayed, fully vaccinated, and currently receiving slow-kill heartworm treatment. She’s ready for an active home that will embrace her fun-loving spirit.
Sally - Adoptable
Sally was found under a vacant trailer with puppies. She arrived at the sanctuary with five puppies who have since been adopted out in CO.
Sally is a 3-year-old Plott Hound with all the wonderful traits her breed is known for. She loves to sniff, explore, and follow her nose, making every walk an adventure. Sally is smart, curious, and full of personality. Like many hounds, she can be an escape artist, so her adopter will need to be extra careful with secure fencing and doors. With the right home that understands hound behavior, Sally will thrive and be a fun, loyal companion.
Sheeva - Adoptable
Sheeva was left behind by our neighbors. It took her about 3 months before she finally realized they were gone, and not coming back for her. She would come to our house to eat and drink water, but she would return back to the house to sleep outdoors and hang out. Her loyalty was unbounding, and broke our hearts. One day, I opened the door to go feed her, and she ran in the house. There has been no turning back for Sheeva, she has become a fulltime member of the sanctuary.
We think Sheeva is approximately 3 years old and she is a total sweetheart. She loves people, does well with other dogs, and enjoys walks and companionship. Cat compatibility is unknown. Sheeva is spayed, fully vaccinated, and currently undergoing slow-kill heartworm treatment. She would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loving, loyal dog.
