Almost Home New Mexico

Almost Home New Mexico Mainly dog rescue, rehabilitation, training, and boarding. Visit our website for more information Other than that they just live here until they are adopted.

We rescue the dogs who need more time to find their own forever families. The dogs that come into the rescue stay here until their forever home is found. The only time we euthanize is if a dog is showing extreme aggression we can't fix (animal or human) or if it is deathly ill.

A heartbreaking story with a happy ending. This sweet little spotted boy is Zane. He and his brother were adopted as young pups and joined the best family ever. After the adoption they learned about littermate syndrome so did everything possible to prevent it - dogs had training both together and separate, they had playtimes both together and separate, everything seemed perfect. They started coming to us for boarding stays when their family went on vacation and everything was perfect. But then tragedy slowly littermate syndrome started rearing its ugly head and the boys got in a fight. Then another fight and eventually the family realized that in order to keep the boys safe and happy someone would have to leave their home. They made the heartbreaking call to me we need help. I explained most rescue have a contract for return amd they needed to contact them to make sure i could place one. The rescue did not respond. So we agreed to place one, but which one? These were their babies and now they had to choose which one to let go which one they had to trust would be loved in a new family as much as they lived him. We posted both. Zane got an application, the family came out to meet him while he was here for boarding and they fell in love. I stayed in close contact with his mom to make sure she was OK with the adoption. She would come home now with only 1 dog. It was heartbreaking. But but Zane got a fabulous home with a family that loves him just as much as his first family and he still gets to play with the water hose his favorite thing ever. Here are a few photos from his new family. We are so grateful to the families that trust us with their furry family members.

I just received a 3 month update from Daphnes mom. The shelter tried and tried getting this sweet girl a home, even putting her on TV. But nobody adopted her. Her roommate she joined was a pup that was terrified of life - Twix. They bonded quickly, and he became her shadow. When the shelter reached out to us for Twix so he could work on his fear issues, we couldn't leave his roommate behind. We were always told to empty a kennel if they had roommates, and thats what we have continued to do. Anyhow a wonderful woman who was looking for a friend for her dog came out. She had already met several other dogs through other organizations but none were meshing well with her girl. Happily for us the girls did well and Daphne went home. Our wonderful adopter continues sending updates and I absolutely love it. She is so loved and spoiled her mom has done so much for her and these updates we get keep us going. We love seeing how much our kiddos are loved.

Look who has gone home!! Gretchen Wilson has left the building. She is so darn cute. She came to us with her 2 tiny babies due to aggression issues. Thankfully the staff realized she was just scared and trying to protect her wee ones so reached out to see if we could help. She is the sweetest kiddo ever and now she has her very own family that absolutely loves her to pieces. ❤️

Rocky is slowly learning to trust us. He has learned the "here" command, but every so often still throws a fit when I tell him here, and he thinks I should just toss his treat to him rather than come to me for it. Lol, isn't he too cute?! Quite a difference from the scared boy who was saved from Roswell riggt before euthanasia. This is what rescue is all about. Helping the ones we can so they can leave through the front door and live long happy lives. He is still scared and doesnt trust easily but he is now wagging his tail and showing interest in us. Huge thanks to for cleaning him up! If you need an awesome groomer check them out.
