FROSTY is a smart, alert, and happy dog with a deeply affectionate side. One of his sweetest habits is resting his head on your shoulder for a cuddle . At some point, Frosty likely had a family before becoming homeless on one of the reservations we work with. Something tragic happened there, and Frosty was left with a severe eye injury. In remarkable fashion, he sought out a kind family and showed them that he needed help. They contacted us immediately, and Frosty was rushed to the vet, where his injured eye was surgically removed. Today, Frosty is healed and thriving, and he’s hoping for an active family who can help him continue learning — or remembering — what it means to be loved and included. Frosty’s adoption fee includes his neuter, vaccines, deworming, and microchip. We believe he is about three to four years old. He would do best as an only dog, or possibly with a compatible female dog. He is not a match for a home with smaller male dogs or cats.He will likely love hiking and walks. He is naturally alert and does a great job letting his people know when something seems off. Because Frosty has one eye, busy multi-dog environments can sometimes make him anxious — he can’t always see who is approaching — which is why he may be happiest as the only dog in the home. Frosty would thrive in a home in the Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, White Rock, or Los Alamos area with an active person or family who enjoys interacting with their dog.  If you think Frosty might be a good fit for your family, please email desertpawsnm@gmail.com to check availability and start the application process. We would love to introduce you to this wonderful boy and help him find the safe, loving home he so deeply deserves.March 2, 2026, 6:42 pm
