September Updates

Welcome to Fall in New Mexico! Animal Updates We've had a very busy summer. MamaJane, the cat who birthed four kittens on 12th July, and her kits have all moved on to new homes. The kitties rescued from the sofet have all been adopted. We have transferred many puppies to the puppy rescue in Colorado since our last update, bringing our total to between 50 & 60 this season. Once again , many thanks to Pat Steele for transporting and Kim & the Colorado Puppy Rescue for their incredible work. Rescued Dog Rescues Human! Missy the Weimeraner who was abandoned 4th of July weekend at the Questa laundromat has found her forever home in Angel Fire *** and what a match that one is!*** Missy has twice scared off a bear attempting to enter her home, via the doggy door, saving her human and other dog! Thank you Pam & Walter for providing a loving home for Missy. Donations Heartfelt thanks to the many of you who have made donations of supplies and money to us. Among these we have received some especially generous donations. PetAg, Inc., makers of supplies for animals, gave us a generous quantity of kitten and puppy formulas, BeneBac and nursing nipples.

Once again it will be held at The Furniture Barn (Jerry's Place). We are looking for volunteers to help as this will be our biggest sale yet. Please call one of us to sign up for a shift. This may be our last sale of the season as we only have storage space through the end of November. Do you have storage space you could donate? If so we may be able to continue the sale, as weather permits, throughout the winter. This has been our primary source of funds for purchasing vaccines, animal food and medical supplies and paying vet bills. Call suzanne @ 586-1862 or Holly @ 586-0784.
