Interested in adopting a pet — or just looking at some lovable pups up for adoption? There are dozens of endearing dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Albuquerque.

Animal shelters and pet rescue groups work hard to care for unhoused pets and connect them to loving homes. Hoodline used data from Petfinder to power this roundup of dogs currently available for adoption.

Riley, Labrador retriever and border collie mix

Riley is a lovable male Labrador retriever and border collie mix staying at Argos, A Shelter Dog Rescue.

Riley loves to socialize — he gets along well with other dogs. He has mastered his house-training etiquette, and he's neutered and vaccinated.

Riley's current caretakers say:

Riley is a 4-1/2-year-old with personality-plus. He loves toys and spending time with anyone who will give him even the slightest bit of attention. Throw a yellow tennis ball to him and you've got a best friend for life. He already knows sit, down, paw left/right and is eager to learn anything you want to teach him.

Pancho is a very sweet and mellow dog. He is happy to relax with his people most of the day but does thoroughly enjoy a daily walk and is great on leash. He would be a great fit for an active retired couple.
