Today’s Pet of the Week comes all the way from New Mexico through Ark-Valley Humane Society’s Transfer Program!

A program designed to help other shelters by reducing overcrowding, increasing visibility, and giving dogs the individualized care they need to thrive. Meet Swiper, a 1.5-year-old, 30-pound pup with a big heart packed into a small frame. Swiper is incredibly affectionate with people and absolutely loves playing with other dogs—so much so that he’s headed to K9 Haven for a play date! If you’re looking to add joy, play, and plenty of love to your life, Swiper might just be the wonderful companion you’ve been waiting for.

Ark-Valley Humane Society is currently hiring! Applications are open for a full-time Animal Care Technician and a part-time Administrative Associate. If you’re passionate about making a difference in the lives of animals and your community, this is a great opportunity to join a dedicated and compassionate team. Working at an animal shelter offers a dynamic environment where no two days are the same—filled with purpose, connection, and the rewarding experience of helping animals find their loving homes.
