Dogs for Adoption

Ready for Adoption!

“Ruckus” – Male German Shepherd puppy – 5 months old

4/19/26 – Ruckus is a sweet, active puppy who is playful, likes meeting new people, and enjoys being with other dogs. Ruckus loves toys, especially tug toys!

This boy came to us with a broken leg that is still in the process of fully healing, but he is now running and playing while using the leg. It will take several more weeks for him to gain back full muscle strength in that leg (right rear) but our vets tell us he will heal up on his own without any other need for care.

We think Ruckus will be a large dog and we can already see he leans toward the dominant side, so he will need early training. Someone who has had experience raising German Shepherds will most likely be his best fit. Adoption fee is $400 with $300 returned to his adopter after proof of neuter. Please call (505) 877-7352 if you’d like more information about Ruckus!

Ready for Adoption!

“Daisy” – Spayed Female German Shepherd – 2 years old

4/18/2026 – Daisy is a 2-year old black/tan spayed female. Daisy loves being with people and is the kind of dog that will bond quickly and be your best friend forever! She is very smart, loves to learn new things, and is a lovey-dovey dog! Daisy will fetch a tennis ball and enjoys the game. We are working on improving her basic obedience skills and she has picked up come-when-called very quickly! Daisy already knows how to sit and do hand-touches for treats. Currently in-training for: stay, down, around, and walking nicely next to us.

Daisy does a decent job of meeting a new dog but she tends to want to go her own way and does not really play or interact with other dogs. We think she’s telling us she’d prefer to be a one-and-only dog – the special girl! So, we’re looking to place her in a home where someone can spend time with her and where she can be an only pet.

Daisy is spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, is heartworm-negative, and has been started on heartworm preventative. Adoption fee is $250. Please call (505) 877-7352 for more information.

Amy – in foster care

4/18/2026 – Amy is 5 months old now and will be spayed within the next week. Amy came into foster care with her sister, Ella. Both girls are shy but Amy is making GREAT progress in foster care! She and Ella hang out with the other dogs and are getting used to routine, people touches, and general socialization. Amy will be ready for adoption at the end of April.

ADOPTION PENDING!!! Ella has a new home when she has recovered from her spay! We are so happy that she will have a family who loves her!!

German Shepherds at our local shelters

We are a small foster-based rescue and can’t possibly take in all the German Shepherds we see at our local shelters. So, we thought we might post pictures! There are several German Shepherds at New Mexico shelters at this time. Please go by the shelter or contact them directly. We do not have these dogs in foster care.
