Argos has rescued hundreds of dogs that were scheduled for euthanasia in NM shelters, even taking dogs that were already in the shelters euthanasia rooms awaiting their deaths.

This pup is our very special girl Button.

Button was sedated at the shelter for her euthanasia when we were alerted to her pending fate. With a quick call to an amazing foster home and an even quicker YES commitment from the foster home, together we were able to save Button’s life. To know this story and then to meet Button brings tears to our eyes. She will never know how close she came to not making it out of that shelter, but we do know. We can’t imagine not knowing this girl.

Button is a calm and very sweet 7 year old 25 Lb chunky poodle X. She LOVES to play, especially with other dogs. Button was born with a congenital abnormality that caused her bottom jaw to be much shorter than her top jaw. With that one ear that stands up and her massive overbite, she looks a little “goofy”. Don’t let her looks fool you. Button can charm the pants off even the coldest hearted souls.

She’s a healthy girl that will require a small raised feeder, some glucosamine, canned or soft food, and a ton of love and cuddles. Otherwise Button is perfectly healthy. Button would like a quieter home with a companion dog or two or three to play and chum around with.
