Cattle Dog Dogs Available for Adoption in Pena Blanca, New Mexico

CARSON is a 5-month-old puppy with the softest eyes and a heart.

We have Carson teamed up with a group of dogs in the rescue for playdates daily. They are all adults (some with disabilities like blindness, deafness, paralysis) - he is everyone's best friend :-) He always makes sure everyone feels included. He's such a great dog.

Carson would thrive with a patient, loving family in the Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, White Rock, or Los Alamos areas. We’d especially love for him to have a friendly, playful dog sibling to help him build confidence and show him the ropes.

His adoption fee includes:

✔ Neutering
✔ Vaccines
✔ Microchip
✔ Deworming

Carson was born on one of the reservations we work with in Nov 2025 and is now ready for a forever family who will help him grow into the amazing dog he’s meant to be.

If you think Carson might be your perfect match, please email desertpawsnm@gmail.com to check availability and begin the application process. We would love to introduce you (and your fur babies!) to this handsome little boy and help him become part of your family.
