Pets of the Week 4/9/26

Waffles is syrupy sweet and this little breakfast bandit is now officially up for adoption at the Ojo Santa Fe Puppy Patch! He’s a 2 month old 11 lb. blue heeler-mix fresh from foster care and he’s ready to melt into you like butter on pancakes. He’s neutered, up-to-date and vaccines, microchipped and goes home with six months of heartworm prevention.
Come get your Waffles fix! Apply on the Española Animal Shelter website to schedule an appointment at the resort in Santa Fe.
Senior lovers! Maureen is 15, soft as a whisper and somehow waiting … again. Life has moved her in and out of the shelter more than once — not because she’s done anything wrong, but because the world kept changing around her. And still, she loves. Every time she wakes from a nap, she comes looking for you, hopeful, gentle, ready to give her whole heart again. Her little down-turned ear — left behind from an old infection — only makes her more endearing.
Maureen doesn’t ask for much. A calm home. A soft place to land. Maybe another mellow cat. Just someone who will finally choose her — and keep choosing her. She’s not looking for forever. She’s just hoping forever might finally find her.
