Adoption
Valerie and her puppies will be available for adoption Sept 21 at Pet Haus in Durango from 11-3. If you are interested in adopting, submit an application below.
Valerie is a rez dog who gave birth at our home on Saturday, July 27, 2024 and we are fostering her and her puppies for Blackhat Humane Society. Valerie is a sweet, smart girl who is a great mom. She is good with other dogs, does not bother our chickens, only wants to go to the bathroom outside and figured out how to use the dog door in just 3 days.
Valerie's puppies have been handled and socialized daily. They've met lots of people and have had tons of new experiences such as riding in the car, riding in a cart, taking morning adventure walks around our 12 acre property and have walked on many surfaces: concrete, asphalt, grass, dirt, stones, gravel, linoleum, carpet and up and down ramps and hills. They are litter box trained and are learning to use a dog door.
We put a lot of time and care into raising our foster puppies to help them become calm, stable, social pets. Early socialization is the easiest, fastest and most fun way to get a pet ready for their life in the human world and the best way to prevent behavior problems which is our #1 priority.
Join us for Puppy Parties in Durango!

Before you adopt, consider reading these two FREE books
The #1 cause of death in dogs under 3 years old is behavior problems. Properly socializing puppies is the easiest, fastest and most effective way to prevent the problems that reduce quality of life, cause dogs to lose their homes and, often, their lives.
I highly recommend that you read these two short, FREE ebooks before you adopt a puppy.
Raising a puppy properly is a lot of work. You can expect to spend at least 2 hours per day feeding, walking/pottying, cleaning, playing, training and socializing your puppy until they are at least 6 months old, preferably 12.
This may seem like a big investment, and it is, but you will find that it is 100% worth the effort because you are more likely to end up with a dog that is easy to own, a pleasure to be around and much less likely to develop behavior problems.
Potential adopters that demonstrate that they have read these books will be more likely to be approved for adoption. It’s that important.
