Dogs

Chupa

Chupa is a playful and friendly girl who’s less than a year old. She’s good natured and loves the water and chasing balls (but not necessarily bringing them back). She was found as a stray eating road kill.
Chupa is spayed, chipped and up to date on vaccines.

Maize

Maize was born feral and is slowly finding himself after several weeks of constant socialization.
He loves playing with other dogs (and cats) and is gentle with the smaller dogs and submissive to the older dogs.
He will need time in his new home for become totally comfortable and open up, but we have no doubt he’s going to be an amazing companion.

Pippin

Pippin is a sweet and gentle boy who survived parvo when his brother did not. He was dumped in someone’s yard infected with the deadly virus.
He has now undergone his quarantine period and has been vaccinated and never became sick.
He’s very gentle and playful and loves other dogs.

Café

Café is a gorgeous and loving girl who is delicate and reserved but also playful.
She was dumped at a gas station but doesn’t let that abandonment affect her ability to form bonds with people and other dogs.

Cowboy

Cowboy is an absolute darling angel. He loves his people and will fiercely protect them. He is wonderful with kids and gets along great with other dogs and cats. He’s even spent extensive time around farm animals and doesn’t exhibit any prey drive toward them.

Pepper

pepper is an angel! She’s loyal and playful despite having been previously feral. She’s submissive toward other dogs and generally gets along with them if they are not bullies.

Bubba

Bubba is a playful and loving 3 year old Rottweiler mix. He was dumped with his companion Gump in Taos. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations.

Gump

Gump is an adult male goofball. We think he is a red heeler & Beagle mix. 100% good boy. He was dumped in Taos with his companion, Bubba. Gump is neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations.

Willow

Sweet Willow is the matriarch of the pack we rescued from the three peaks house fire two days before Christmas. She is calm and quiet, but takes a little time to warm up to new situations. She is around 85 pounds, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations.

Smiley

It's easy to see how Smiley got his name! Smiley boy is sweet and shy but making progress every day! He came to us with burns from the mesa house fire that are healing up nicely. He is neutered, chipped and up to date on shots.

Bumble

Bumble is a precious and shy girl. She was bit in the face by another dog when she was a puppy, leading her to look like shes been stung by a bee all the time. But we think she is absolutely perfect and adorable. She is around 65 lbs, spayed, chipped and up to date.

Ivy

Ivy is an absolutely sweetheart. We think she is a mix of chihuahua and corgi, because she has giant ears and a long body. She loves cats and dogs of all sizes as well as every human she's ever met. She is scheduled to have her cherry eye corrected soon!

Kevin

kevin is a handsome and dignified gentleman. He came to us hours after he was hit by a car and has been recovering from a fractured pelvis and two toes, as well as lots of road rash and abrasions. He has healed up very well but is still a little slow moving and probably will not be able to run and play like he once could. He would love to be a couch potato with you and enjoy relaxing in a home of his own!

Clarinet

Clarinet is a firecracker with that perfect mesa mutt look but in a small package! She is smart and energetic and expected to be under 40 lbs full grown. She's spayed, chipped and up to date on shots

Squirtle

Squirtle is an outgoing and charismatic girl who also loves naps on the couch. She and her siblings and mom were rescued from the closet of an abandoned trailer.

Meowth

Meowth is a very sweet and shy boy. He and his siblings and mom were rescued from the closet of an abandoned trailer.

Bulbasaur

Bulbasaur has such a unique look! He is a sweetheart who also loves tormenting his mom. He and his siblings and mom were rescued from the closet of an abandoned trailer.

Ruthie

Ruthie is a perfectly petite little heeler girl! She was left behind when her family moved away, so she is understandably shy and hesitant to trust. She will need a family who will take their time and go slowly with her.

Cats

Robert Cattinson

Bob might actually be the perfect cat. A once-feral mesa cat, he now LOVES love and gets along with animals of all shapes and sizes.

Rubeus

Rubeus is an energetic and loving teenage boy.

Additional Programs

Found Animal Foster
In an attempt to further assist with the dozens of calls we get every week about stray and found animals, we launched the Found Animal Foster program. When a community member finds an animal and an owner cannot be located, found animal fostering allows them to keep the animal in their home temporarily while we get them vetted, sterilized, socialized and hopefully into their forever home.Mesa Paws Pet Food Bank
Every Thursday at 2:00 we hand out free dog and cat food at the Carson Food Bank.Mesa S/N Transport
Transportation can be a huge issue when owning pets or caring for strays on the mesa. We help schedule and transport spay/ neuter and veterinary care for animals of mesa dwellers who have trouble getting into town on their own.
