Moozy, Kongy and Punky's owner passed away in August. Now, with no permanent home lined up, they are scheduled to be surrendered to our shelter this month. Losing their person is already a big change, and we want to do everything we can to keep them from having to face the stress of shelter life, especially in their senior years.

These three just need a quiet home where they can enjoy the simple things in life. They love relaxing in the yard, soaking up the sunshine and playing a little fetch now and then. All three are house-trained, know a few basic commands and have easygoing personalities. They don't ask for much, just a safe place to rest, someone to care for them and a family to spend their golden years with.

Here's where you can help: If you can open your home to one of these pups, please send us a private message with your contact information or reach out to their current caregiver through the links below. Even helping one of them find a home could make a big difference! 🙏

Can't foster or adopt? You can still help! Leave a comment and share or save this post to help more people see it. The right person may be just one share away. 🧡

📌 Note: These pups are not currently at our shelter and are being re-homed through our Home to Home program. Spay/neuter surgery, vaccines, and microchipping may be available for pets adopted through the program. For more information, email [email protected].

Alexa is the kind of dog who wants to be wherever you are.🥺🫶

She spent an overnight away from the shelter and quickly made herself right at home. She loved going on walks, sniffing absolutely everything, and exploring the world around her. 🐕 And apparently, when you’re a dog in the middle of summer, tipping over her water bowl and turning it into a personal pool is a perfectly reasonable solution. 🤣

Alexa is friendly, smart, and incredibly curious. She loved meeting people, stayed close to her person throughout the weekend, and was wonderful on leash. She was also interested in saying hello to the dogs and cats she passed on walks, and we do believe she would do well with other dogs in the home with a proper meet and greet. 🧡

At home, she was calm and sweet, barely barked, and was mostly potty trained. Her favorite things? Chicken nuggets, belly scratches, ear scratches, and being included in whatever you’re doing.

Alexa came to us right after Christmas last year, and she’s been patiently waiting for her chance at a forever home ever since.

If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate adventure buddy who also knows how to settle in at home, Alexa would love to meet you. 🥹

"Hi! As of July 14th Aurora or “Rory” as we call her is officially 1 year old. We adopted her straight from foster (about 5 mos old) after seeing her picture posted that she was returning. She is such a sweet and loving pup. She added playful energy into our 14 yr old cocker spaniel. He had started moving slower after we lost two of our dogs the previous year, but he plays with Rory like he is five again. She’s still trying to convince the cat that they can play together with her dog toys (unsuccessfully), but Rory is ever hopeful and at least the cat will let her follow behind. She brings a lot of smiles and laughs and we are so thankful we were able to adopt her."

Thank you so much to Rory's new family for taking her in! 🥹 Have you adopted from us? Drop a picture of your fur baby in the comments!

Happy tails, sweet girl!

Raspberry has been adopted! We have other longstays that are still waiting for their happily ever afters, tap the link to meet them: elpasoanimalservices.org/at-risk-pets/

And after nearly a YEAR of waiting, Raspberry is STILL hoping her person will finally find her. 💔

This good girl has been in our care since December, and as she approaches her one-year anniversary at the shelter, she’s still waiting for someone to finally choose her. 🥺

It’s hard to understand how this girl has been overlooked for so long.

Raspberry is friendly, happy, incredibly well-behaved, and loves meeting new people. She’s curious about other dogs, walks beautifully on leash, and is perfectly happy to match your energy, whether you’re ready for an adventure or just want a chill companion.

She’s spent nearly a year being a good girl, making the most of the time she’s spent at the shelter, and waiting for someone to see what a wonderful companion she could be. We really don’t want her to hit one year in a shelter kennel.

She deserves to know what it’s like to have a family, a place to call home, and someone who chooses her for good. If you’ve been thinking about adopting, please consider making Raspberry your girl. She needs someone now.

⏰ Open daily, 12pm to 6pm.

Who said dogs can’t have a favorite color? 🤨

Out of all the toys, Xander will always go for the blue ones.🙂‍↕️💙 This boy knows basic commands, gets along with other dogs, LOVES the pool, and absolutely loves all hoomans. (Even the little ones!) 😉

Xander has been waiting for his forever family and would absolutely love to have a home of his own. 🥹

If you’d like to meet Xander, message for information! 💬

He thought he had found his forever 🥺

For a little while, Louie had a family to call his own. But sometimes things don't work out, even when you've done absolutely nothing wrong. 😭

And now, at just 10 months old, this sweet boy is waiting all over again.

The hardest part? Louie has no idea why. He just knows how to love. Unconditionally, wholeheartedly, and with every bit of his giant puppy heart. 🧡

He's back with us, safe and loved, but he deserves more than a temporary place to land. He deserves a forever.

🐕 Dog friendly
🐈 Cat friendly
🧒 Kid friendly
✅ Potty & kennel trained

The sweetest, gentlest giant puppy
Please share Louie's story. Somewhere out there is a family who doesn't know their best friend is waiting for them.

If you’re interested in meeting Louie, send us a DM or reach out to our foster team at [email protected]! 🐾

And share this post to help us get this lovebug home!
