Sunflower is a lovely 3-year-old Rottweiler mix who weighs about 70 pounds. Sunflower is a sweet pup and very affectionate. She loves playgroup, and gets along with most other doggies, and also enjoys leash walks and exploring her surroundings. As part of the shelter’s Summer of Love promotion, Sunflower’s adoption fee, along with fees for all the animals at the shelter, is $50 through the month of July. Come meet her today.
York is a spicy 10-pound, 2-yearold domestic shorthaired male kitty. At the shelter, York has been confident when meeting new people. He makes his own rules about how much affection he appreciates. The ideal family would let York enjoy their home and let the kitty watch the world go by.

SUMMER OF LOVE ADOPTION SPECIAL
The Santa Fe Animal Shelter continues its adoption event through the end of July.
The adoption fee for all animals, regardless of age or breed, is just $50. The shelter continues to be overcrowded and hopes a lower adoption fee will help more homeless animals find a forever home. The shelter’s animal population has surged as the number of strays, and unwanted kittens and puppies have multiplied exponentially over the past month. With the peak of summer and the warm weather still ahead of us, the shelter is prioritizing finding homes for all adoptable animals.
The $50 adoption special includes spay/neuter surgery, microchip and age-appropriate vaccinations; the special is happening only at the shelter’s main campus through July 31. So, there is plenty of time to come out and find a forever friend.

ESPAÑOLA HUMANE
Dizzie is a distemper survivor. He’s one in a million — not just because surviving this respiratory and neurologocal virus is so rare, but also because he’s So. Dang. Happy. ALL THE TIME. See this face? He’s got a perma-grin that will make your own cheeks ache from smiling so much. He’s just a year old and his outlook on life is nothing but sunshine, even though he could easily have dissolved into despair through months of illness. Dizzie is currently in foster care: he is housetrained, leash trained, knows basic commands in two languages, loves all humans and pets, and is currently fostered with a senior dog. If you adopt Dizzie soon, you could even be featured in a film! Apply on the website at www. espanolahumane.org, and we will schedule a meet and greet with his foster for you!
Isaac is the goofy, funny boy in his litter, always ready to rumble or roll. He enjoys head scratches and batting around play mice — or his littermates! This 2-month-old sweet little guy with the cute spotted tummy has big dreams of becoming a mighty tiger. Isaac is available for adoption from his foster home; call the shelter to set up a meeting.
