Cattle Dog and Bulldog Dogs Available for Adoption

DUKE is a playful, happy mixed-breed pup who truly loves life. If there’s a game happening, Duke wants in! He enjoys romping with other dogs, does great with kids, and would most likely do well with cats, too.

Born on October 8, 2025 on one of the reservations we work with, Duke is still a young pup with that wonderful mix of curiosity, affection, and goofy charm. True to his Libra birthday, he’s social, friendly, and happiest when he has companions to share his adventures with.

Duke would thrive in a home with another friendly dog who enjoys playtime as much as he does. He’s the kind of boy who will grow into a loyal, fun-loving family companion.
His adoption fee includes his neuter, vaccines, deworming, and microchip.

We are seeking a home for Duke in the Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, White Rock, or Los Alamos areas.

If you think Duke might be a good fit for your family, please email desertpawsnm@gmail.com to check availability and begin the application process. We would love to introduce you and your family (including your fur babies!) to this bright, handsome boy and help him find his forever home.
