‼️🛑ATTENTION🛑‼️
🛑❗️WARNING PICTURES SHOWN ARE DISTURBING❗️🛑

🔴We are extremely saddend and disturbed by this surrender we received this morning. This young pup is in tragic condition due to what is called “tail docking”. Although this procedure is suppose to be medically performed. We see whoever owned this baby decided to DO IT THEMSELVES with a HAIR TIE . The hair tie is tied around the tail to cut off blood circulation so the tail is bobbed. This is extremely painful and dangerous for this baby especially without anesthetic. Tail docking is considered a mutilation that deprives dogs of an important form of canine expression. Doing this improperly can cause infection, loss of communication, damaged nerves and chronic pain! 🔴
🔴This is our unfortunate reality working at the shelter. We see poor conditions of animals like this poor baby. We struggle with cases like these because we’re not a full service vet clinic. We would have to transport this baby in order to get him the medical attention he needs and loving home he also desperately deserves!🔴

This is also why transports are so important. This gives us the chance to transport our animals to a rescue who is able to care for their medical needs and rehoming them into a responsible home. 🚐🐾

At this time we’re asking for monetary assistance in order to reach our transportation funding goal and we can use some of the expenses to go towards any medical attention this sweet baby needs. We have raised 1,650 out of the 12,000 we need to transport animals every month for the year of 2025. Our remaining Balance at this time is 10,350. 🐶🐈🐕‍🦺🦮🐕🐱

❤️❤️❤️❤️We’re full of gratitude and appreciation for your support of through our line of work. You all make a difference for these sweet babies who deserve a better life! THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

❗️Foster needed❗️

We are in desperate need of a foster for Evalee. She is a young mixed breed. Who needs socializing! We don’t want to give up on Evalee. We want to give her a second chance she deserves! She’s very friendly and even loves kids. 🐕‍🦺🦴🐾

As you can see she doesn’t mind being held and will allow you to shower her with love and pets. She needs help becoming more comfortable with humans and being in a kennel/ sharing her space. ❤️🐾

She does have barrier aggression. Despite her aggression behind the kennel we have confidence she can improve in a loving environment. She has so much potential! 🐕‍🦺

❤️🐾We’re asking for a heroic foster parent to step forward and help us socialize Evalee so she can thrive and reach her full potential! We prefer there be no other dogs in the house but cats are fine. With no other dogs In the house this would allow Evalee to feel comfortable to be herself freely. If you are able to welcome Evalee into your home with love and patience contact us or come by the shelter! (505)863-2616🐾❤️

🐾🐕‍🦺🫶🏼Please share to help evalee find her foster home to give her a second chance! 🫶🏼🐕‍🦺🐾

❗️On January 7th 2025 we recieved these surrenders. ❗️

These babies were found roaming by citizens who turned them into our shelter. They will be on a 5 day hold. If they go unclaimed we will be able to adopt them out or transport them. 🐾🐶

❗️If any of these babies belong to you or if you know who they belong to please contact us or come by the shelter. We do fill up quickly. If you’re able to reclaim your pet please do this would give us room for more intakes as we are receiving a surge of animals at this time. ❗️

❗️Please share to help us find out if these babies have homes. Thank you everyone for all your help locating the owners and sharing❗️☎️

It’s crucial to get outdoor pets ready for the impending cold snap next week! Highs in the 30's and lows in the 20’s are coming!

BRING THEM INSIDE: The best option is to keep all pets indoors. However, if they must stay outside, ensure they have adequate protection from the harsh cold. Breeds like Huskies are equipped to handle winter thanks to their thick double coats, which provide insulation. On the other hand, dogs like Pit mixes, with their thinner coats and exposed undersides, are more susceptible to the cold and should either be brought inside or given insulated shelter. Puppies and older, frail, or sick dogs are particularly at risk in cold weather and require additional protection.

PROVIDE SHELTER: When temperatures drop below 45 degrees, having access to an insulated doghouse, garage, or shed can help keep your dog warm. Dogs that are used to living indoors or in milder climates should not be left outside during freezing conditions. Make sure the shelter is readily accessible, as you may not be home when the temperatures plummet.

INSULATE SHELTER: While a plastic or wooden doghouse can shield them from wind, it won't keep them warm without proper insulation. Use straw bedding—not hay—to insulate outdoor shelters. If you’re using straw to insulate a doghouse, it should be packed tightly along the sides and back. The dog should be able to burrow down into the straw for warmth. Bales of straw typically cost $10 or less at local feed stores and can fill 3-4 doghouses.
