About Doris

About Mixed Breed Dogs

Mixed breed dogs are wonderfully unique companions, each one a one-of-a-kind blend of traits, personalities, and appearances. The genetic diversity of mixed breeds often leads to fewer inherited health problems and greater overall vigor. They come in every size, shape, and temperament imaginable.

Adopting a mixed breed means giving a home to a dog who truly needs one - they make up the majority of shelter dogs waiting for families. You'll gain a resilient, adaptable companion with a unique personality all their own. Mixed breeds prove every day that love isn't defined by a pedigree.

Adopting in Albuquerque, NM

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

25°F to 50°F

Dec – Feb

Albuquerque winters are mild with light snow that melts quickly and plenty of sunshine. The bosque trails along the Rio Grande are pleasant for winter walks. Nighttime temperatures can drop below freezing, so bring a coat for your pet on early morning outings.

Spring

38°F to 72°F

Mar – May

Spring brings warming temperatures and blooming desert wildflowers. Wind and dust can be an issue in March and April, so keep walks to calmer periods. The Sandia foothills trails are excellent for hiking with your pet as conditions improve.

Summer

62°F to 92°F

Jun – Aug

Hot, dry summers demand shade and water on every outing. The high altitude means stronger UV exposure, so light-skinned pets may need sun protection. Monsoon thunderstorms arrive in July and August, bringing sudden downpours and flash flood risk in arroyos.
