Today, we had three kitten adoptions and one sleepover. Kittens Mint, Gunther, and S'mores went home. The latters' adopter didn't want a photo. And shy chihuahua Diego went on a sleepover. We wish them all the BEST of luck!

Earlier this week, Frida went to visit the residents at Haciendas at Grace Village. She was a big hit because her favorite place to be is on a person's lap! We thank volunteer Kandi for dedicating time each week to take one of our dogs there. It's enrichment for all!! ❤️🐾❤️

Please join us for POWs (Pets-of-the-Week) Wednesday -- we will be live on Facebook and Zoom with our friends at Hot 103!

Meet Diego and Frida! These two came to us from the ASCMV a few weeks ago. They were found wandering together on the lonely streets of Las Cruces--as far too many homeless animals still are. Diego is 6 years old, and Frida is 8. They are both sweethearts who love the company of people, other dogs, and cats. Frida was a big hit today at her visit to Haciendas at Grace Village. Diego went to a foster home and is doing great. Both are looking for their final and furrever homes!!

Come meet any of our adoptable dogs, cats, and kittens ready to go home with a family at the APA Adoption and Education Center, 537 N. Solano, in Las Cruces. We are open Tues/Wed/Thurs/Sat 11 to 3 and by appointment at 575-571-4654; apalascruces.org.

Our Veterinary Fund spotlight this week is on Mariposa.
This sweet 3-month-old kitten was taken to the municipal shelter with an obvious femur break in her left hip. We got her in as an emergency with Dr. Kyle at Schumacher Veterinary Clinic, and she had an FHO (femoral head ostectomy) surgery. Mariposa is now at a foster home getting her physical therapy and recovering, and her prognosis is very good!
Either becoming a Monthly APA Donor Hero or donating directly to this fund are much appreciated. You can donate online here; mail donations to APA, 537 N. Solano Dr., Las Cruces, NM, 88001; via PayPal to [email protected]; or donate directly to our account at Schumacher Veterinary Clinic.
