Dogs for Adoption in La Cienega, NM: 20 Dogs Looking for a Home

ROLO and FROSTY, up for adoption near La Cienega, NM

234 dogs and puppies are waiting for homes at 5 rescues and shelters within 50 miles of La Cienega. Here are the 20 nearest, each with photos, their story and how to reach the rescue looking after them.

Of the dogs up for adoption within 50 miles of La Cienega, 8 puppies, 66 young dogs, 123 adults and 34 seniors. The breeds you'll see most are American Pit Bull Terrier, German Shepherd and Australian Cattle Dog, along with plenty of one-of-a-kind mixes.

1. ROLO and FROSTY

Adult · Male · Labrador Retriever / Australian Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat) · 12 mi from La Cienega

These two incredible dogs have formed an inseparable bond. Frosty, 4, may have one eye, and Rolo, 6, may be slightly hard of hearing, but together they experience the world perfectly.
They've come from a hard life on the rez. But their nature/personality is affectionate and friendly. They are neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, tested, dewormed and on tick/flea prevention. Now they just need a family who is patient, keeps them safe and healthy, and most of all loves them :-)
We bring the dogs to the home to introduce to all family members. We like to stay in touch. And so their home will be in the Santa Fe, ABQ, white Rock, Los Alamos area.
To adopt this bonded pair, please email desertpawsnm@gmail.com.
We'd love to hear from you! :-)

3. Willow

Adult · Female · Shepherd / Chow Chow / Mixed (long coat) · 12 mi from La Cienega

WILLOW is a lovable fluffy girl with a big heart. She’s a happy, playful large dog who lights up when she’s around people and dogs.
Willow will happily reach up for hugs and soak in all the love you’re willing to give. At 4 years old, Willow is in that wonderful stage of life where she still enjoys playtime but also appreciates companionship and connection.
Willow was previously accepted into a professional service dog training program—proof of just how smart, focused, and adaptable she is. While funding cuts kept that path from continuing, her incredible potential never faded. She loves learning and will gladly be your ultimate partner in adventure or just cuddling on the couch.
Her adoption fee includes her spay, vaccines, deworming, and microchip.

Willow was born on one of the reservations we work with and is ready for her next chapter — one filled with stability, kindness, and plenty of hugs. We are seeking a forever home for Willow in the Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, White Rock, or Los Alamos areas.

4. Oreo

Adult (5 years 4 months) · Male · Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (medium coat) · 12 mi from La Cienega

OREO is a truly great family dog. He's calm around people and dogs. He genuinely wants to make friends. He loves being petted. He likes being an active part of the family.

He was found in a leg trap. No broken bones, he's just fine. He was found quickly on one of the reservations we work with. Now he'd like to be loved and protected by a forever family.

Oreo is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and tested. He's 5-6 yrs old and a great age. He is a "stubby tail" cattledog mix - meaning his tail looks docked, but he was born this way as is typical of the breed mix.

We adopt to the Santa Fe, ABQ, Los Alamos and Rio Rancho areas of New Mexico.

Read more about Oreo

Our adoption process is straightforward - email us first to check on availability DesertPawsNM@gmail.com. Then an online application, pics/vid, phone call to discuss/answer questions. We then bring the animal to you and help with intro's with your animals and all household members. Adoption and follow-up.

If you think OREO might be your next family member, we'll get the process started for this wonderful dog :-)

Emerald is a beautiful, classic-looking Husky with a black and white coat accented by lovely tan (red) highlights and gorgeous blue eyes! She is about 13 months old and weighs approximately 45 pounds.

Emerald is a new addition to Siberian Husky Rescue of New Mexico, so we’re still getting to know her personality and preferences. We’ll share more as we learn about this pretty girl!

She is not spayed yet, but the rescue will take care of that, along with getting her fully vetted and up to date on her medical care.

We believe Emerald may be Ryder’s sister, but we plan to place them in separate homes.

Ryder is not neutered yet, but don’t worry! SHRNM will take care of that, along with getting him up to date on his vaccinations and providing a microchip.

He may be Emerald’s sibling, but we do not plan to place them together. Ryder is at a wonderful age to learn, train, and become part of a loving family.

He's ready to find a family to call his own! ❤

8. Roma

Adult (5 years) · Female · Siberian Husky (medium coat) · 34 mi from La Cienega

MEET ROMA! YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND IS WAITING!

Roma is a new addition to Siberian Husky Rescue of New Mexico, and this approximately 5-year-old girl is an absolute sweetheart!

Roma found herself needing a new home when the young couple who adopted her from a local shelter parted ways and could no longer keep her. Now, this loving girl is looking for someone who will give her the forever home she deserves.

What makes Roma special?

Read more about Roma

She is one of the sweetest female huskies you will ever meet! She loves hanging out inside with her people and would be perfectly happy just being part of your everyday life. She is carrying a little extra weight, so leisurely

walks with her new family would help her get healthier while building a special bond.

And here’s something special:

Roma even made friends with Bennie, our very selective boy!

That’s quite an accomplishment!
❤️

Roma does take medication to control seizures, but the good news is she hasn’t had a seizure in the last 10 months! Her medication costs about $60 per month, and

the rescue will help cover her medication costs up to $300 during her first year.

Roma has so much love to give. She doesn’t need a fancy adventure or a busy lifestyle. She just wants a person to love, a cozy place to relax, and a family she can finally call her own. ❤️

Let’s help Roma find her forever home!

9. Cato

Male · Siberian Husky · 34 mi from La Cienega

Meet Cato, an 8-year-old Husky/Malamute mix who is hoping that his next home will finally be his forever home.

Cato has already had three homes in his lifetime, and through no fault of his own, he is facing another transition. His current family originally found him wandering the neighborhood after his elderly owner was no longer able to care for him. They opened their home to him and gave him a safe place to land, but their family situation has now changed, and they can no longer give Cato the time and attention he deserves.

Read more about Cato

At 8 years old, Cato has been through enough changes. He doesn’t need another temporary stop—he needs the family who will love him and keep him for the rest of his life. ❤️
Cato is a sweet senior gentleman who enjoys having his people around. He is frightened by fireworks and thunderstorms, so he’ll need a family who will be patient and reassuring when those scary noises come around.
He has lived successfully with two cats and was wonderful with them. When it comes to other dogs, Cato can be hit or miss, so a meet-and-greet is recommended with any potential canine siblings.

Cato is around 70 pounds and will do best with someone who is comfortable handling a strong, larger dog. But more than anything, he needs stability, patience, love, and a family who won’t give up on him.

Cato needs a foster or, better yet, his forever family.

Three homes is more than enough. Let’s make sure Cato’s next home is the one where he can finally unpack his bags, settle in, and know he is home for good. ❤️

If you can give Cato the loving, permanent home he deserves, please contact Siberian Husky Rescue of New Mexico. And if you can’t adopt, please share his story. His forever family may be just one share away.

10. Palmer

Adult (5 years 5 months) · Male · Siberian Husky / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat) · 34 mi from La Cienega

Meet Palmer! Your Next Family Dog Might Be Waiting for You!

Palmer may be staying with a Husky rescue, but we’re pretty sure someone forgot to tell him he’s supposed to look like a Husky! With his beautiful white coat and warm brown eyes, Palmer looks much more like a Lab—and honestly, we don’t think he has much (if any!) Husky in him.

But Husky or not,

Palmer is one great dog!

At 5½ years old and just under 50 pounds, he is the perfect size—not too big, not too small. He is

friendly, social, and loves people

, making him a wonderful candidate for a family looking for a loving companion.

Read more about Palmer

Palmer made a quick recovery after coming out of the shelter and has settled right in with his foster family. He gets along well with the Huskies in his foster home and has shown just how easygoing and adaptable he can be.

We’re hopeful that somewhere out there is a family who won’t care that Palmer doesn’t quite look like a Husky. They’ll simply see what we see:

a really great dog who deserves a really great home.

❤️

Palmer is ready for his forever family!

If you’re looking for a friendly, social, family-loving dog, Palmer might just be your perfect match.

11. Taiga

Puppy (6 months) · Female · Siberian Husky / Mixed · 34 mi from La Cienega

Taiga is a beautiful Husky mix puppy who is as unique as she is adorable! Her mama looks very Husky, and Taiga has inherited some of those gorgeous Husky features—including her striking

parti-eyes

, with both brown and blue in her eyes.

Taiga is mostly white with a distinctive black stripe running down her tail, giving her a look all her own. And that tail? It’s definitely going to be wagging a lot once she finds her forever family!

Taiga is currently in a foster home with one of her brothers and several adult dogs. She is

shy and submissive with other dogs

, but she is learning that the world can be a pretty wonderful place.

Read more about Taiga

She has already learned to use the doggy door! She still has an occasional accident, but we’ve only been working on house training for a couple of weeks. We expect this smart girl to catch on quickly—especially since she is

very food motivated!

Treats are definitely the way to Taiga’s heart. ❤️

Taiga is still a puppy, so she’ll need a family willing to continue her training, socialization, and confidence-building. In return, you’ll get a sweet little girl who is ready to grow into an amazing companion.

12. Tismo

Young (6 months) · Male · Siberian Husky / Mixed (medium coat) · 34 mi from La Cienega

Meet Tismo!

This adorable Husky mix puppy is ready to find his forever family—and those

amazing blue eyes

are just the beginning! His mama looks very Husky, and Tismo definitely inherited some of those irresistible Husky good looks.

Tismo is tan and white with a

distinctive black stripe running down his tail

, giving him a look that’s completely his own. He’s one handsome little guy!

Tismo is currently in a foster home with one of his sisters and several adult dogs. He can be a little

shy and submissive with other dogs

, but he’s learning that the world can be a pretty wonderful place. ❤️

And this smart boy has already mastered the

doggy door!

Read more about Tismo

He still has an occasional accident, but we’ve only been working on house training for a couple of weeks. We expect him to catch on quickly—especially because Tismo is

very food motivated!

Treats are definitely the way to this boy’s heart.

Because he’s still a puppy, Tismo will need a family who is ready to continue his

training, socialization, and confidence-building

. He may need a little patience as he learns, but watching him blossom will be incredibly rewarding.

In return, you’ll get a sweet puppy who is ready to grow alongside you into an

amazing lifelong companion.

Could Tismo be the little blue-eyed boy your family has been waiting for?

Adopting a dog in La Cienega

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
