  • The Los Alamos Animal Shelter, 226 East Road, 662-8179, has a great selection of onsite adoptable pets just waiting for their forever home! Others are currently off-campus in loving foster homes.
    Be sure to visit the Friends of the Shelter Web site: lafos.org, where you can get more information about volunteering, adopting, and donating. Also check out our Petfinder page for pictures and to learn more about all of our adoptable pets. petfinder.com/shelters/friendsoftheshelter.html.
    All adoptable pets are spayed or neutered, have their shots and come microchipped!
    DOGS
    In an effort to help out the Santa Fe Animal Shelter with their intake of 48 animals from a hoarding case in Albuquerque, the Los Alamos Animal Shelter has taken in four dogs from the Santa Fe Shelter. One has already gone on a trial adoption. Here are two more:
    Ruby — A 2-year-old female golden brindle pit bull. She is energetic, but gentle. She loves food, but does not guard it. She enjoys training and is good with adults, gentle children, and most other dogs.
    Poncio — A blonde 4-year-old Chihuahua who is much more friendly than many of his breed. He does not want anyone grabbing at him suddenly, so older, quiet, gentle children would be his preference. He loves adults and most other dogs. Cats are probably bigger than Poncio is.
