Adoptions. New loving homes. This is the best part.
Max (formerly Dax)
Max actually chose his own home! Lucky boy! He found Brennan and Jake - 8 and 5 - whose energy level matches his. We did not think it was possible! With his mom and dad, his two young boys and his sister aussie Zimba, this little guy has made a wise decision! He runs every morning with mom (has actually shortened her run time), spends his days with his work at home dad learning new things and plays, plays, plays with his boys all day long and crashes with them at night. What else could this gorgeous little guy hope for? He has found his paradise. Max, with his beautiful violet eyes, has found his forever home where he will be encouraged to be all that he can be. We know Max and his ever inquisitive mind is finally where he belongs. Good Luck Max – long and happy life my friend!
Reverend Leo
Heidi (formerly Jessa)
Sweet, sweet Heidi! You could not help but fall in love with this wonderful girl! She is now surrounded by love and her buddies WALL-E and Eddie, her mom, and her wonderful new extended family that all adore her! From certain death to finding the home of her dreams, this little girl is safe and loved in her lucky forever home. She has taught us all a lesson in knowing that even when there is no hope in sight, miracles can happen. Given even the smallest chance, these homeless animals can show such optimism and love. Heidi, you are a jewel!
Finn
Our little Finn – from being dumped in a high kill shelter to finding a perfect home and being adored and loved - Finn has overcome the odds. This energetic and courageous ball of fur is living the dream of any Aussie – room to run, games to play and an adoring mom! This little guy is home. With his sparkling baby blues, this little fella now has years to grow and charm everyone he meets. Happy Days Finn!
Luther (formerly Frankie)
From being dumped and drinking out of a thrown away coffee cup to finding his forever home, Luther is now one happy pup!! After the loss of their beloved lab girl of 12 years, the Whites just happened to be driving by and decided to stop when they saw the adoption event sign for EnchantMutts. When they approached the dogs it was like radar between them and Luther. They all knew (Luther especially) – he was THE ONE. A perfect match for this laid-back wonderful dog. He loves his new family and his very own cat buddy, Mr. B.! Luther and Mr. B. sleep side-by-side when they don’t think anyone is watching. Luther is living LARGE! It doesn't get better than this! Is this a happy boy or what? We love these happy endings! A special thank you to the staff at Good Shepherd Animal Clinic for finding this guy and taking him under their wing!

Tiberius (The Tysters)
Tiberius, or what he has become known to us--The Tysters! He's quite the cat....his foster mom called him "a cat's cat" and she certainly nailed his personality! Tysters makes us laugh at all his antics....loves to jump up high and look "down" upon his subjects, loves to sit in windows and dream about going outside--yowls and yowls (I tried telling him that kitties are considered a delicacy for coyotes and he wasn't allowed outside, but he really didn't seem to care), comes running to the door when we get home to get his kitty torture (torture in the form of hugs and kisses which he acts like he hates but really he doesn't) and the cutest of all things....he sits in our bar stools at the breakfast counter and eats his most delicious "urinary" food! Like a tiny person sitting on his butt in the chair with his head on the counter eating away. Now if I could only teach him that being ON THE COUNTER is a big NO NO...I guess he has amnesia from time to time! Tysters lives with our other cat, Caleb, and our beloved Springer, Emma Jean. We're glad to have him in our home and hope to have many, many happy years in the future.~Brian and Lori
Sunday
We often get to meet many wonderful dogs in our quest to save homeless animals, but Sunday will always be a special girl! Just about perfect from the get-go, this beautiful girl has found the perfect place to live and love. Pulled with her two puppies from an overcrowded shelter to now living in the lap of FUN with her mom, two kids and her new best buddy, Lyric the cat, gentle Sunday has found her forever home! This super girl will no longer go hungry or wonder who will care for her. She has found the perfect home! May all her days be filled with fun and laughter and may her smile grow forever brighter.
Nala
Roo (formerly Tessie)
Perfect little Tessie has found her forever family. Tessie, now Roo, not only has a mom and pop to love her, but a young playful "sis" named Moki. Congratulations to all!
Molly
Our playful, tireless, mischievous imp, Miss Molly, has found her perfect home! Molly now lives with four other dogs, two cats, three horses, mom and dad, and her very own boy!!! It was love at first sight for Molly and Daniel, and this "made for each other" pair get to grow together over the coming years. This lucky girl will grow up doing what Aussies do – work on a big ranch, chasing bunnies and squirrels, and being spoiled rotten with the rest of the critters at this homestead! Funny how an unplanned meeting leads to love at first sight and can make everything work perfectly! Go Molly go!!
Tallula (formerly Maggie)
With two cats Chico and Lucy already in the house, the thought of adopting a puppy was in the back of our minds, but not seriously entertained until we noticed Maggie on Petfinder. Her name has since changed to Tallula and she's fast become a member of the family. Tallula has found a forever home with us and the choice to adopt her was the right one. I know this to be true as the smile we see every time we walk her says it all! Tallula grows, teaches and learns each day and it's very rewarding to know that we've made this difference for her. Tallula is a wonderful addition to our home!A fabulous home for sweet, sweet Maggie! Saved in the nick of time to find her piece of paradise. Knowing homes like Tallula's are out there prompt us to save these precious souls. Thank you Ken and Jennifer for choosing this great girl!
~ EnchantMutts
Hank the Cowdog (formerly Quinn)
I AM SUCH A GOOD DOG! I was left at a shelter... I’m not sure why. I was rescued from the shelter by my Auntie Kristi. She became my foster mother, took me to the Vet, introduced me to her dogs and made me feel like I was a Very Special guy. She even named me Quinn, since I’m part Aussie! The next thing I knew, I met two people who were, maybe, going to be my new Mom and Dad. They seemed okay to me, so I had a “sleepover” at their house! We all had a really good time!We decided that we could be a family. I have a new yard, a dog door, and some funny looking things they called “toys”. I had no idea what “stuffed animals” were... they sort of scared me! The next thing I knew, they handed me something they called “rawhide”. Since I didn’t much like it, or know what to do with it, my Mom put peanut butter on it! I didn’t know what that was either... but I sure do now! Finally, this place was seeming like a place I’d like to stay, and my new parents seemed to be real happy that I was here! We take long walks every morning. I know a quail when I hear one, and can spot a rabbit 100 yards away. I have two “cousin dogs” that I am told are Beagles. They’re really nice, but one is noisy! We love to run in their big backyard!
My name now is Hank. I was named after a storybook character, “Hank the Cowdog”! He was the Sheriff on a ranch in Texas! I understand my Mom’s grandchildren loved Hank stories when they were little!
Everyone tells me that I’m a “Good Looking Dog”! I’m not sure about that, but I sure feel good and so do my Mom and Dad! I guess you could say, “We’re a Success Story”!
Teddy (formerly Max)
Teddy is the smartest and mellowest dog the world has ever known. He is indescribably affectionate, intelligent, happy, and outgoing. His tail never stops wagging. The only thing he loves more than a nice long walk is to sit with his people, snuggle up to them, and be petted. He is great with other dogs and little children. We have never heard him growl or bark. He is funny and clumsy, a charming klutz. His favorite chore around the house is to pick up stray garments and move them to other rooms where he apparently thinks they must really belong.~Sue and Steve
Hershey
Chui (formerly Quigley)
This little (soon to be big) baby boy is home. From being a throw away pup to now living life to it’s fullest with a wonderful family, Chui is safe and loved and proving his worth everyday. From romping with his three boys and dad to following mom everywhere, including work every day, this match was instant and Chui has found his forever family. This smart, thoughtful guy will be family protector and class clown. Our only question is just how big will he get?? The bigger the better as his family will love him unconditionally. Even Quito the cat has given approval. Chui has found his forever home and we know the rewards will be great!
Romeo
Bailey (formerly Reilly)
What I can't believe is that Bailey has so many habits that my other Bearded Collie did. It is really unbelievable - the way he rubs his body along the entire bed, the way he itches his ears, and the little moaning sound he makes when he lays down. Bailey backs up and puts his bottom on my lap and also puts his rear on the last step of the stairs. It looks really funny. He is a gem. I could not be happier!~Kathy
Sweet William (formerly Wii Willy)
Willy's foster mom called him Wii Willy, but after just one week we've updated his name to Whee Willy to honor his exuberant happy nature. Willy wakes up each morning and puts on a wild show of rolling and grunting and wiggling around in his bed in what is now called the Morning Celebration. After that he hunts down and stockpiles all the toys in the house, creating a heap of kongs, ropes, balls, and bones in his favorite spot next to the apple tree outside. He is learning the joys of human affection and delights in a good shoulder rub. It's hard to believe this dog came in off the mesa with his feral parents and litter mates. He is stunningly resilient and works hard to learn the rules, to figure out how to play with and relate to humans, and is fully committed to adoring his new dog brother Toad. He arrived with excellent manners, house-trained and using the dog door, and a gentleman on the leash. Most of all, though, he is completely eager to be a loving member of the family. A special thank you to Kristi, not just for rescuing this boy from the shelter, but for laying a beautiful foundation of trust and confidence in him that has made him a delight to bring into our family.
Opal
Pepper (formerly Phoebe)
Twice blessed, that's what we are! When we contacted EnchantMutts looking for a playmate for Jilly, our first adoption, we didn't expect another exceptional dog. You know how to pick 'em, Kristi. At 12 months old, Pepper adds an abundance of energy, a load of affection, and a pinch of the devil (says Dad), especially when it comes to the garden hoses. Pepper jumped right into our home and our hearts. When you think the love in your heart has reached its capacity, these wonderful creatures have an amazing ability to show you there is still room to grow! But this philosophy is what makes EnchantMutts so successful. All of you at EM don't just find "forever homes" for the dogs, you find "forever loves" for our families! ~Mom & DadPepper enjoys long runs around the neighborhood and morning romps just barely dampen her energy. In the evening we enjoy lying down on the floor with our pillows and blanket and having a movie night or love fest with our two dogs by our side. One thing for sure is that both of our dogs love to snuggle and both are mooches!!! ~Jake & Ian
Tex
Tex has settled in with his new mom and brother. He gets to lounge around with Niko while his mom is at work, and best of all he gets to sleep with his mom and Niko at night. What else does a kitten need to be content?
Ollie
Christmas 2009 was one of great sorrow for me as just before the holidays I had to put my loved companion, Midnight, to sleep. Renal failure. This beautiful Miniature Poodle and I had been together for over fifteen years and in my sorrow I vowed I could never again share my home with another dog.Then, just a little over two weeks after losing Midnight, I came across an article in the Fetch section of the Albuquerque Journal. This particular issue was devoted to animal adoptions and it listed several animal rescue web sites, all containing pictures and biographies of some great canines. What harm, I thought, could there be in looking at and reading about the available dogs. After all, I had no intention of ever taking one in again, but as a dog lover I was motivated to look them over.
Look them over I did and then on the EnchantMutts home page I came across a picture of Ollie, one of the most photogenic and energetic looking dogs I had ever seen. However, in my grieving no more dogs mood, I passed over Ollie’s photo and went on to view many other dogs appearing on the animal rescue sites. And though I was enjoying this viewing experience, I caught myself returning several times to look Ollie over again.
You guessed it. After some pleasant negotiations with Cathy at EnchantMutts I am now the joyful owner of that beautiful one year old Jack Russell Terrier/Dachshund.
True to his Jack Russell ancestry, Ollie keeps me hopping. On his second night with me, he jumped into my bed, covered my face with kisses, slid under the covers, cuddled up to me, and now duplicates this ritual on a nightly basis. He is a quick study and has learned to fetch and drop his ball on command. He’s beginning to respond to the heel command and has caught on to such body language as putting on my jacket means we’re going outside and keys jangling prompts a fast trip out to the car. He is a tease and gets great joy out of running to the back door barking to get in, and as I start to open it he quickly spins around challenging me to catch him. My greatest surprise with him came, when after having him for no more than two weeks, I took him to the dog park. While there he ran and romped with the other dogs but would intermittently take time out to come and sit down on my bench with me. Yes, we do have fun together!
Though I continue to have moments of grief over the loss of Midnight, I have learned by adopting Ollie I am paying tribute to that wonderful dog who taught me to love and appreciate God’s gift of canines to the human race.

Juliet
Juliet has found her family. She is living with two seven year old twin boys, a chihuahua and her mom and dad. According to her mom, "Juliet really is a lap cat. She even sits in the boys' laps when they are being calm". Juliet gets to sleep in the bed at night and takes up most of her mom's pillow.
Jordan
Henry David Thoreau
We had been searching for a long time for our hearts to be filled and our family to be complete. By chance, we had to exchange some things at Target and we saw the adoption event. The minute we got out of the car, Henry quickly walked up to our sons Logan and Jackson, as happy as a dog could be. Right then we knew Henry was the one. Since the day we saw Henry, our lives have been blessed. He fits into our family like he has been with us forever. He is filled with life, energy, and love. We all have so much fun with him and he has completed our family. He is Logan's best buddy. He sleeps with him every night. Jackson giggles every time he sees Henry, and Henry doesn't mind if Jackson crawls all over him or pulls a little hair. He just sits there patiently waiting for him to be done. He is our protector, our joy, our friend. Thank you EnchantMutts, especially Kristi, for bringing Henry into our lives.
Callie
About 10 years ago our dog was stolen from us, never to be seen again. With the change of two children added to our lives, as well as job changes and moving, we begrudgingly decided against another dog until our lives calmed down (yeah right, like that was ever going to happen). A few years ago our kids, Jordyn and JD, started asking for a dog. We talked and we looked, then we forgot about it until they reminded us…everyday. Well, in October of 2009 we saw Callie on the EnchantMutts website, and we all fell in love with her immediately!
Callie is a Heeler / Brittany Spaniel cross approximately 6 years old. She is fully house-trained and has great manners. In the past, she had been abused and/or neglected. We are not exactly sure what happened to her, but she is very skittish and timid as a result. She didn’t even know how to play. Thanks to Kristi from EnchantMutts for her guidance with Callie. She has assisted us in helping Callie come out of her shell so she could become the wonderful, playful, and adorable animal she truly is.
Callie is amazing! She is so gentle and loving. Her demeanor with the kids is one of love and protection. She is also mischievous! Whenever anyone is missing a glove, hat, or sock, we know exactly where to look...right by her bed.
We have had Callie for 2 months, and every day, every week, there is a new dog waiting to share her love and excitement with us. She still gets nervous whenever she leaves the house, but her excitement when she walks back in her front door tells it all! Each of us have a place in our heart for Callie, and what is so cool, I think Callie has a place in her heart for each of us.
Unknown is where you come from, and abuse, you have had some.
Only open hearts and love you will find, all the rest you can leave behind.
You now can be at ease for you will be loved and not teased.
Thanks for showing us there is a new way to love.
The Wacky Weavers
~Marcus, Robin, Jordyn, JD, and Callie
Jilly (formerly Gilly Flower)
Life is great. That’s the motto in our house now. Ten months ago, our dog passed away from old age and we knew she would be a tough act to follow; however, at the Weem’s Art Festival we found EnchantMutts and the “Best of Show”, Ms. Jilly. It was love at first sight and still is! She couldn’t be a more perfect dog and fit for our family. She loves her “brothers” Jake (12) and Ian (4). What fun is a backyard full of snow if there weren’t two energetic boys to play with! Chasing the sled down the hill is an all-time favorite, as is chasing the tennis ball! Thank you, Kate, for rescuing Jilly so that she could spend the rest of her life being loved and adored! Jilly has moved into our hearts as well as our home and filled a very big gap.~Mom & Dad
Jilly has been so calm and considerate. If someone is at the door, she is always there with us. She loves the dryer’s buzzer; she thinks it’s the door bell. Jilly has been the perfect dog for us!
~Jacob & Ian
Little Girl Bleu
The perfect example of what patience and companionship can do is our girl Bleu. Super smart and beautiful, this little girl will never be abandoned again. From being petrified of human contact to seeking it daily (ok, hourly), Bleu now has the opportunity to grow and learn and overcome her fears. With her best buddies Shasta and Hiway, Bleu is learning what it is to be loved and cared for and is showing what a very special girl she is. Her foster mom knew when she saw her initial picture that she would be hard to give up, and now Bleu is part of the pack – waiting to greet, reassure, and train other homeless dogs that there is a forever home out there for them. If families are willing to see through the fears and issues and give an animal an opportunity, they will be gifted with unconditional love and a New Best Friend – like Bleu. They’re waiting for you.
Rosey (formerly Rowdy)
It's amazing to us what a blessing our girl Rosey is in our lives. We had an Australian Shepherd for 14 years and it broke our hearts when we had to have her put to sleep. That was probably seven years ago. Then it seemed that fate intervened, the stars aligned, and I went online and found this beautiful Australian Shepherd named "Rowdy", waiting for a forever home with EnchantMutts. Once we saw her it was love at first sight and she fits perfectly into our home and lives. The name "Rowdy" just didn't fit, so she has become our "Rosey". She is just a joy, loves her walks, and jumps up past our shoulders, up and down, when we come home to her from even a short time away. We are so grateful to EnchantMutts for completing our family and opening our hearts back up. We especially want to thank Kristi and Kate - thank you SO MUCH for taking such good care of this girl. We love her and we love you.~Art and Jo Anne
Sonny
Sonny is a lucky boy! This delightful and well mannered boy has gone to the perfect home! It was love at first sight for Sonny and Pita (his new doggie sister) and he is the perfect sleeping cushion for his feline brothers Caesar and Tiger. Sonny has the run of the house and huge yard at his new home and is quite beside himself on his good fortune. He really is turning into the perfect boy! Not only does he have dad and mom, but also two great kids who adore him as well as his canine sister and feline brothers. FULL HOUSE and loving it! SONNY's days are always SUNNY now! Andrew, Tara, Theo, and Njoki - Thanks for providing the perfect home for this lovable guy!
Renny (formerly Scarlett)
Scarlett first met her new mom and sibling Choco at Bark in the Park, and they all took to each other immediately. The following day, Scarlett got to meet her other potential siblings, Josh and Levi. Scarlett knew she was finally in her home. She lay down in the cool grass and smiled. She even sat in a row with her siblings and took a treat from her new mom. Scarlett’s new life is all about fun and frolic. She gets to go on long walks, play tug with her siblings, and learn new things from her mom. Bless you Little Scarlett, everyone who knows you loves you.
Jackie Love
Did you know?! High altitude and UV rays are significant in exacerbating an eye disease, called Pannus, that is not uncommon in the German Shepherd breed. Jackie-love (formerly just plain Jackie, but she is such a love) has this chronic, incurable disease. With New Mexico’s ever constant sun and high altitude this poor girl’s eyes probably worsened more quickly without protection and early intervention. Jackie-love was slated for euthanasia but EnchantMutts came to her rescue. We found a fabulous place where she will be doted on, receive eye medications and veterinary care, and loved forever for the precious being that she is.
EnchantMutts got Jackie Love protective eye wear – see photo of Jackie sporting Doggles™ which have 100% UV protection and can aid in keeping her eyes from disease progression. At some point, Jackie probably will become blind, but she sees well enough now to recognize her caregivers, have peppy walks, and enjoy playing with other dogs. She is in a place that will comfort her and ensure her eyesight does not stop her from enjoying the things she treasures the most – love and attention. This special dog has so much to give, loves dogs and cats alike, and has such a congenial nature, EnchantMutts could not waste a moment’s time in finding a safe place for her. She is a very happy girl now!
If you have a German Shepherd Dog or this breed mix or a breed that is prone to Pannus eye disease, please discuss with your veterinarian how you can mitigate or possibly avert onset of this disease.
Cesar and Tiger
My family and I are lucky to have these two little kittens. We hope to spend a lifetime together through thick and thin. They have integrated very well with our dog, Pita, who pretends to be their mother ALL THE TIME!! It is absolutely beautiful to see. My kids really enjoy them. Thank you, Enchantmutts, for your incredible love for animals.~Dad
We are so happy with these newest members of our family. Cesar is an orange tabby and he loves to talk, eat, cuddle, and sleep in silly places. Our silver tabby, Tiger, has grown from a sickly, meek guy into a boisterous little firecracker! He is our little troublemaker who enjoys knocking over lamps & paintings, just for fun. He loves to explore and is an affectionate lap cat.
~Mom
The cats are the nicest things ever! I think Tiger likes Spider-Man because he scales the hamper and door. Some of Tiger’s fave things to do are to play and go outside. I love those cats and thanks for leading us to them.
~Theo
Cesar likes to play with rat toys a lot. Cesar is quite fat but cute. Cesar has a pink nose and that is the most important thing about being cute. Cesar is very playful and Tiger is very mellow.
~Njoki
Hannah
Astro (formerly Oscar)
Gunner (formerly Kevin)
Gunner is settling happily into his new forever home. Gunner's dad needed a new dog to help "fill the hole" in his heart left by the death of one of his beloved canines. Gunner stepped into that role with gusto. Gunner and his canine sibling, Tiger, sleep with their dad, take walks with their dad, and basically get to hang out with their dad, and then they are off on an adventure like hot air ballooning! Gunner wags his tail a lot and is very friendly with everyone. Sounds like a match made in heaven.
Belle
She is Belle of the Ball now! A wonderful couple who fell in love with Belle, and she instantly with them, makes for a happy fairy-tale ending. A couple in Arizona were "shocked and amazed" at Belle's personality and intelligence when they first met her. They thought she was great with all of her wonderful qualities and beauty. At last, Belle's dream came true and she was adopted! When the couple came to pick Belle up to go home, she hopped into their car in the blink of an eye - no hesitation - she was ready! In the back seat was a beautiful big bed, a new bowl and blue teddy bear waiting to welcome her as their new "baby." Belle could not have found a better or more loving family. She didn't know then, but it was worth the wait and the heartache she endured. Belle's new mom is going to take her to the school with her frequently. And because Belle is so good and tolerant with children of all ages, her new mom will be enrolling her in a therapy dog program soon. "Once upon a time, there was a dog . . . who found her forever family. The End!"
Zoey (formerly Gilly)
It is hard to remember that Zoey was so quiet and docile when we first met her at Fetch-a-palooza. She has definitely come into her own as ‘Queen Zoey.’ The table on the deck is the throne from which she surveys the backyard. She plays a mean game of tug of war, knows how to ‘drop’ the ball, and has learned to open the screen door with her nose. She sleeps on or under our bed. She has brought out the puppy in her 6 year old sister, Billie, who needs the exercise. She even listens to big sister Brenda (12), who sets the rules.~Diane
I love Zoey so much because she is so loving, caring and sweet. We will always love Zoey even if she does something wrong. The only thing that annoys me is that she barks a lot. Everything else, I love about her. She is one of the best dogs I have ever had.
~Gregory
Chaco
From Chaco's adopters:"Chaco is a fantastic dog and has already adjusted beautifully to our home! He slept on our bed and he and Ken have had a terrific time wrestling and playing...no problems at all. Thank you for the great gift of this incredible dog; we love him to death and will treat him (like all of our pets) like royalty! THANK YOU!"
Oliver (formerly Alfie)
From Oliver's adopters:"Abby and Oliver are doing wonderfully. They love to play tug of war and, turns out, Oliver really has the jaws for it and always wins! Abby seems to enjoy just taunting him with the rope because when they fetch Abby always gets there first, but once Oliver gets a hold of the rope he wont let go and Abby eventually gives up! They respect each other's space and we feed them on opposite sides of the room and have never had any problems with food. Most evenings after work we take the both of them on the ditches around our house and on the weekends walk them all the way up to Flying Star and have lunch with them there. This last weekend on our way back the ditches were really low and our neighbors were letting their dogs swim so we let Abby and Oliver in. Abby hated it and got right out, but Oliver was quite the water spaniel and played and played until we drug him out and immediately bathed him!! We are both so thankful for finding him! We adore having him around, and I know that Abby really does too (no matter what she tells you!). Thank you so much for letting us keep him!"
Walter
Walter has been with me almost a year now and is really a great companion. He has the best little personality and gets along great with everyone. He loves to play fetch and just cannot seem to get enough exercise. I walk him about 2 to2 1/2 miles, 3 - 5 times a week, but he would definitely go more!
Smilee (formerly Shylee)
Shylee was a shy, misunderstood girl in the shelter, but once she was "sprung" from the shelter into a foster home, she blossomed into a goofy, loving dog. She caught the eye of a "big dog" loving family near Santa Fe who had recently lost a Newfoundland. The only question was could Shylee adjust to a house full of cats? With her new canine sister "Asia" to guide her, Shylee learned to coexist with her large feline family and continued to gain confidence and weight under the loving care of her new owners.Shylee, now "Smilee", is a happy dog. She went in for her vet check and shots last week and is now 83 pounds. She loves her house-mates. She listens when we call around 7:30 every morning, when we head out for our morning walk. Smilee is free to run, and she does, bounding over the bushes and laying in wait for Asia, who is on a leash. Then a quick prance, lots of noise, and a new dash. I put her on a leash for the walk home so Asia can get her run in as well. Can't let them both off leash at once as Asia will "lead her astray" and they take an hour to show up at the house, so she is an indoor dog except for the morning and evening runs. Smilee gets along with everyone and likes to steal the cat toys. Basically she is a very happy dog who sleeps on her very large pillow at the foot of our bed.
~Walt and Isolde
Jess
Jessie Jack’s past is a mystery – he was a stray (thin, tattered, stressed and trusted no one) and went from shelter to shelter. Because he was so beautiful and a pure Australian Shepherd, no one wanted to put him down – but he did not bond with anyone and his time was running out. He was always searching for the family we think abandoned him. A great couple fell in love with him (they could see what he could be) adopted him and took him home, but he would not stay in the yard and concern for his safety prompted them to ask EnchantMutts to find a home for him. Giving Jessie time to know that he was safe and loved was the missing link and he began to accept a new life. Our mischievous Jess now lives with a great family in the mountains and has bonded completely with his new family (including the two family cats). He lives for his walks withhis dad and protects his work at home mom all day (and watches the daughter’s boyfriends very closely . . .). He now lives for his new family and will remain forever at their side – loyal to the end – protecting his own (and enjoying lots of love and attention doing it!).
Bailey
Bailey came to EnchantMutts after being abandoned on the mesa and wandering on her own for weeks. She has now found a wonderful home with a very loving family where she will be able to enjoy life for many years to come. To read Bailey's full story, please click here.If you have adopted an animal from EnchantMutts we would love to hear from you. Please contact us if you have a story you would like to share with us or if you would like to add more comments to this page about your pet.
