💙 MEET ELSA! YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND IS WAITING! 💙

At just 2 years old, Elsa has so much love, happiness, and personality to share! 🐾 Unfortunately, this sweet girl has been overlooked at the shelter for months, and we can’t understand why!

Elsa is a happy, social girl who LOVES making new dog friends! She’s wonderfully versatile and enjoys spending time with dogs of all personalities, whether they’re energetic playmates or calm companions. You’ll often find her playing in the yard with her furry friends or soaking up all the attention and praise from her human friends. ❤️

Elsa has so much love to give, and all she’s missing is a family to call her own. She’s been waiting patiently for someone to notice just how special she is. Could that someone be you?

🏡 2 years old
🐶 Very dog friendly!
💙 Happy, affectionate, and social
🌳 Loves playing outside with her dog friends
🐾 Adoption fee: ONLY $50!

Elsa is available for adoption at Otero County Animal Shelter 601 Wright Ave Alamogordo, NM.

📞 Call us at 575-434-2959 to ask about Elsa or come meet her!

Please SHARE to help Elsa finally find the forever home she’s been waiting for. She deserves to be someone’s favorite girl! 💙🐾

❤️ SENIOR SPOTLIGHT: 16 YEARS YOUNG AND STILL LOOKING FOR LOVE! ❤️

Meet our sweet 16-year-old Shih Tzu! 🐾 This little gentleman is Panda, He recently found himself at the shelter through no fault of his own after being surrendered . At 16 years old, he deserves a soft place to land, a comfortable retirement, and a family who will cherish him for whatever time he has left.

Here’s what we know about him:
🐶 Dog-friendly, but prefers calm, laid-back canine companions.
🏡 His previous family shared that he spent his entire life outdoors, so we aren’t sure if he is house-trained.
🐾 He has settled in nicely to his kennel here at the shelter.
✂️ His beautiful coat will require regular grooming to keep him comfortable and healthy.

A little about adopting a senior dog: ❤️

Senior dogs are incredibly special, but they can come with additional expenses. Potential adopters should be prepared for senior veterinary care, which may include dental work, ongoing medical needs, and other age-related expenses. We want to make sure his next home is ready to give him the care and comfort he deserves.

Adoption fee: $100

This sweet boy has spent 16 years of his life with a family. Let’s make sure his next chapter is filled with kindness, comfort, and love. He may be a senior, but he still has so much love to give. ❤️

601 Wright Ave, Alamogordo, NM

📞 Call us at 575-434-2959 or stop by to meet him!

Please share to help this little gentleman find the loving retirement home he deserves. 🐾❤️
