Milkshake is looking for her forever home ...

A late-night call alerted us that a very pregnant 1-year old Border Collie was sitting in a local high-kill shelter, scheduled to be euthanized the next day—along with her unborn puppies.

Milkshake was transported early the next morning to the safety of an Argos foster home. Just two days later, Milkshake welcomed 8 healthy puppies into the world. (Puppies available for adoption)

Milkshake has done an incredible job raising her puppies, who are now 7 weeks old, but it's time for this young mama to have a life of her own.

From her foster dad:
“This beautiful girl is very loving and affectionate. She loves to cuddle on the couch. She is amazing with kids and great with other dogs—but not a fan of farm birds!"

Milkshake thrives on companionship. She is almost fully house trained and continues to do great with routine and guidance. True to her breed, she’s smart, active, and eager to be part of her people’s daily life.

If interested in meeting Milkshake or her puppies please submit the online application found on our website www.argosdogrescue.org under Adopt.

🐾 Argos Has Puppies! 🐾

We’re excited to introduce Milkshake’s puppies, born Wednesday, November 26th, in their Argos foster home.

Their mom, Milkshake, is a 1-year-old medium-sized Border Collie, and while dad is unknown, these pups are shaping up to be wonderful medium-sized dogs.

Now 7 weeks old, these babies have been raised in a loving home with kids and other dogs, making them healthy, happy, and very well-socialized—off to a great start for family life!

✨ Meet the crew:
💖 Girls: Meadow, River, & Willow
💙 Boys: Storm, Walker, Kade & Oreo (Ember adopted by foster)

If you’re looking to add a sweet, social, and loving puppy to your family, one of these Argos pups might be the perfect match.

How to use Street Cat Hub’s services for free trap, neuter and return of free roaming cats:
1. Fill out the request form at streetcathub.org/tnr
2. We will then email or call you with all the information you need and a link to self schedule surgery drop off appointments (plan to bring ALL the cats in your colony or area in at once, we will rent you as many traps as you need to get EVERYONE)
2. Come in to our office at 1616 Eubank Blvd NE the Saturday prior to your surgery drop off appointment anytime between 11am and 2pm to pick up traps. The rental deposit is $99 which covers ALL the traps you need and is fully refundable. At this time we will teach you how to use the traps and answer any questions you have.
4. Trap the cats by withholding any food outside of the traps and putting stinky food like tuna in the traps. It may take a couple days to trap all of them so you have Saturday night-Tuesday at noon to trap. Bring any trapped cats into our office during your appointment time (Sundays-Tuesdays 9:30-12:30)
5. Pick up fixed cats two days after you drop them off for surgery and return them back where you trapped them.

Some people have fancy brand labels on their clothes.
Perfect outfits. Clean lines. Not a single stray hair in sight.

And then there’s us.

The ones who leave the house with cat hair on our coats, our pants, our bags, and somehow even places that make no sense.

You can keep the labels and the trends.
We’ll take the fur-covered clothes, the cozy chaos, and the kind of happiness that sticks to you and refuses to let go.

Striving to Keep NM Pets Thriving

Long Leash On Life is a health food and supply store for dogs and cats. Our mission is to improve the quality of cats' and dogs' lives through proper nutrition, positive training and a lifetime of meaningful enrichment, with a special focus on local rescue pets.

We are dedicated to helping pet parents do the absolute best they can to enhance their pets’ overall well-being. Our products are carefully selected based on meeting our high standards as well as their performance. We also pride ourselves in specialized customer service, where both you and your pets are genuinely treated like a part of our family.

Community support has always been another priority for Long Leash On Life. Throughout our fourteen years in business, we have supported many fine animal welfare organizations, such as Animal Humane New Mexico, Paws and Stripes, and Albuquerque Animal Welfare, to name a few.

Perhaps the most rewarding recipients are those in greatest need; the small local rescue groups and rural shelters. Our 2017-2019 donations of pet food tallied well over 400,000 pounds given to nearly 50 animal welfare organizations. This allowed many of these dedicated groups to afford spay and neuter costs, which helps control pet overpopulation, and ultimately reduces pet euthanasia in our Land of Enchantment.
