Meet Cicada

Meet Cicada — tiny puppy, BIG ears, and a heart that’s just waiting to bloom! Cicada is a sweet little guy who can be a bit shy when he first meets you. He may not be the puppy who immediately launches himself into your lap, but don’t let that fool you — he really, really wants to be your friend! Give him a little patience, some gentle encouragement, and maybe a tasty treat or two, and you’ll get to watch his adorable personality start to shine. Cicada does great with other dogs and especially benefits from having a confident, outgoing canine buddy around. He’s happy to let the braver pups show him that new people, new places, and new adventures aren’t so scary after all. Having a doggy role model helps him build confidence and learn the ropes! And then there are THE EARS. They are big. They are adorable. They may or may not pick up satellite radio. We haven’t confirmed their full capabilities yet, but we can confirm they make him approximately 87% cuter. Cicada is looking for a family who will give this sweet, sensitive little guy the time and encouragement he needs to blossom. Once he realizes you’re his person, we think you’ll have one very loyal — and very well-eared — best friend. This pup will be available to meet starting on 7/18They were rescued from a shelter in New Mexico. Meet and greets are by appointment only. An approved application is required to schedule a meeting.

If upon meeting the dog of your choosing at your scheduled pickup time you find that you aren't a good match, your deposit will be fully refunded. Adoption fees include vaccines up until time of adoption, microchip, spay/neuter and 1st 30 days of free pet insurance. We are not affiliated with MetLife pet insurance. (you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect). Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets. The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico. While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.
