Hello! My name is Cherry (Paws in the Pen)!

Here’s what my friends at Española Humane say about me:

- Cherry is soon to be "paw-roled" from our Paws in the Pen program in partnership with the New Mexico Corrections Department! Each dog is paired with two inmate trainers and enrolled in an 8-week training program that is designed to equip the dog with a nice foundation of training that will help them succeed in their new home. Each of these dogs will go home potty and crate trained with a whole list of cues and basic behaviors; to ensure a successful adoption, we are providing four training sessions to adopters, so you can learn what your dog knows, and an invitation to weekly discounted drop-in classes. These dogs also go home with a biothane leash and collar, 6 months of heartworm prevention, are fully up-to-date on all vaccines and medications, and are spayed and neutered.

Cherry is a snugglelicious beauty, with the best and biggest smile! She loves to give 'besos', and put her front feet on your shoulders to go in for a hug, and get a full body rub. She is doing so good in her training, and really wants to please her people, and she loves all the people! She wiggles her butt up to anyone for a good pet. Cherry came into the shelter with two puppies, is almost done with her training bootcamp, and is ready to find her perfect home, where she can loaf, play, roll in the grass, and be absolutely adored!

If you’re interested in adopting me, fill out an application to get a jump start on the process! We don’t offer holds on shelter pets, so c’mon in to meet and greet to decide if you’ve met your match. Applications for pets in foster care, at Ojo Santa Fe, or offsite in other programs will be reviewed by staff before appointments are scheduled.
