❤️Animals are easy to help❤️
I’ve had so many emotions leading up to this week and the vote for the new City ordinances (all passed!!). My position is still entirely apolitical, so I’ll simply state that I remain grateful for the incredible support that SVC has received from the local community (and beyond!!) and for those on Monday who were willing to listen and work together towards positive change. There have been so many times that I’ve contemplated giving up entirely, but I’m hopeful that these new ordinances will both provide needed relief for Las Cruces and open more avenues to help those less fortunate. The story that I told on Monday is but a microcosm of the larger, very complex situation, but it still gives me hope. YOU give me hope.
❤️Thank you❤️

Mark your calendars for next Wednesday!! Appointments for equine clients are also available with Dr. Cover-please call 575-524-2894.
Happy Monday Morning!

Our August newsletter goes out today--important information about how to protect your pets during hot weather! Hope everyone is staying cool
A reminder to stay safe and be extra aware of your surroundings this time of year. The Snakes are out and we want to avoid any confrontations with pets while out and enjoying the outdoors.
Big thanks to everyone who made this possible ❤️❤️❤️
We cannot express how deeply grateful we are to Schumacher Veterinary Clinic for their incredible generosity in providing free care for our clients' pets. La Casa Inc. now allows pets to stay in the shelter, which is a vital step in ensuring the comfort and well-being of both our clients and their beloved animals. Having pets with them provides emotional support and a sense of normalcy during difficult times.
Spaying and neutering pets is crucial for their health and helps prevent overpopulation, which is a significant issue in many communities. By offering these services, Schumacher Veterinary Clinic is not only helping our clients but also contributing to a healthier and more sustainable pet population.
Thank you for making such a meaningful impact in the lives of our clients and their pets!

Big thanks today to all our donors and volunteers as we hosted another spay/neuter clinic this time for La Casa residents. Happy to provide these dogs and cats with necessary vaccinations, microchips, and aid bags as well. [Old pic of one of my kids!]
I think days like today are strong evidence of a community willing to come together to help those less fortunate. I was disappointed to hear of the abrupt ending to the special legislative session on public safety, and concerned by reading the newspaper piece opposing proposed revisions to the shopping cart ordinance coming up on August 5. Local citizens and business owners have repeatedly tried to offer help and suggestions in hopes of constructive change. No matter how you spin the situation—economics, COVID, lack of mental health resources, Fentanyl— it simply can’t be argued that current strategies are working. Business owners are merely asking that we try something new. No one I have worked with has sought to dehumanize or criminalize the homeless situation. We are asking to support programs that offer a hand up—not a handout, continued effort towards bringing more resources to deal with mental health and illegal drug addiction to Las Cruces, accountability and transparency and that where money is spent that there may be objective metrics and measurement of progress. Please take the time to read through/view the proposed revisions to both the solicitation and shopping cart ordinances. A clear objective of these programs is not to incarcerate or fine these individuals, but to provide potential diversion into treatment or community service. Don’t take my word for it, please do your own research and form your own opinions. August 5 and the pending vote on these ordinances will be very important to SVC as well as other neighboring local businesses and private citizens throughout Las Cruces. Please take a moment to call/write/email your City Counselor—info posted in the comments.

Clara is 4 weeks post op TPLO—so she’s halfway through our dedicated rehab program and she’s doing GREAT!! Such an awesome testament to why this surgery is absolutely the standard of care for dogs with cranial cruciate ligament damage (same thing as the ACL in humans) and why programs like APA are so vital to our community. Thanks to APA for helping Clara, please help them if you can! Info posted in the comments.

It's That Time Of Year...
Educate yourself — Know what snakes are in your area, and how to identify them.
Keep your dog on a leash — When walking or hiking in areas known to have a high snake population, keep your dog on a leash, and be especially vigilant during the warmer months when snakes are more active.
Avoid snake havens — Avoid areas such as wood piles, rock formations, cactus bunches and deep grass, where snakes tend to hide.
Snake proof your yard — Keep your grass trimmed and rodents under control, to avoid attracting snakes.
In case you missed our June newsletter! Planning to talk about fireworks and noise phobias/sensitivity for July, so stay tuned!

Clara came in for her two week recheck after TPLO-she is always so happy ❤️❤️❤️. She is progressing right on schedule—we removed her bandage and sutures yesterday and she began her initial set of rehab exercises. Rehabilitation after surgery is important for any patient-human or canine! Did you know that both Dr. Kyle and Patricia have additional certification in canine rehabilitation? Don’t forget to support APA if you can!
We delivered a beautiful litter of four today for Bays’ Bostons ❤️❤️❤️. Dr. Cover successfully timed and bred this litter and I did the C-section early this morning – – despite Miss Ava’s persistence in delivering a few days ahead of time (!!!). Grateful for an amazing team that secured a happy ending, healthy babies, responsible breeders, and the in-house testing and technology that helped us determine that today was the day. 
❤️Clara❤️ update… Clara’s surgery Monday went very smoothly and the last few days have been all about rest and recovery (and lots of ear rubs…). Clara had been very comfortable and is using her surgically repaired leg well. The sling helps us to slow her down and provide any needed support. Please consider reaching out to APA to support Clara and their other special critters!
Spent some time this weekend making measurements and planning the approach for Clara’s TPLO. Tomorrow is her big day ❤️ Please remember to support APA if you can (details in the comments)—they provide an important service to our community by pulling the majority of their rescues from the local Humane Society. They are currently fundraising for Clara and some other special critters ❤️
Monday is a big day! Dr. Auge and Dr. Kyle will be helping a very sweet girl, Clara, from APA-Action Program For Animals-to regain her mobility and comfort. Clara is having TPLO surgery on Monday and we’d like to help support APA and allow everyone to follow along on Clara’s case. Please consider helping APA with their mission-they are fundraising specifically to help Clara and some other very special pets ❤️. Additional information in the comments.
National Police Week! A Huge Thank You To All Our Local Law Enforcement! We Appreciate You! @lascrucespolice Doña Ana County Sheriff's Department City of Las Cruces
Great start to a great project this morning! It was very rewarding to work with the animals from Community of Hope on our first Spay/Neuter Day. I’m already looking forward to the next one! Special thanks to the crew from DVP and Kelsie Boswell for volunteering to help out today, and of course all of our donors ❤️🐺🐈🐾🐕❤️
More proof that our community is amazing and can come together during difficult times❤️❤️❤️. Thank you Legacy Mixed Martial Arts—hope everyone can check them out!
Updating, as many have asked—LCPD was thankfully able to help us deal with the unfortunate situation of tresspassing and inappropriate behavior last week. I appreciate their response and perseverance, special thanks to Chief Story and all the officers involved. We have been very fortunate for the backing of clients and the local business community as well. Thank you ❤️ We need to make sure this story isn’t repeated, though. The proposed changes to the Solicitation and Shopping Cart Ordinances will be presented during Monday’s work session starting at 1pm. I cannot be there, but there is opportunity for public input. Speaking is not necessary, your presence is still valuable. If you cannot attend, please take the time to call or email any/all City Councilers/members of City Management with your support and to share your experiences. Info listed in the comments below.
ICYMI— THANK YOU! Thank you for helping me…us, Schumacher Veterinary Clinic, local business owners, and Las Cruces as a whole, to put their best foot/paw forward! Your recent donation to help in providing veterinary care for the pets belonging to our homeless community is greatly appreciated. I know that myself, the private citizens and small businesses in my area, LCPD, and Las Cruces as a whole, were rocked to our very core after the tragic murder of Officer Jonah Hernandez. If there is one thing that I’ve realized over these past several weeks, it is that the problems with homelessness, crime, mental illness, and illegal drug addiction are far more serious and complicated than I could have ever begun to imagine. These challenges will not be overcome in a day, and solutions will require continued effort from all involved. I do strongly believe, however, that you can’t complain about a problem unless you’re willing to be a part of the solution. This “pet“ project of mine began as a very small idea. It’s quite obvious that I have a soft spot for dogs (especially black and white ones ❤️), and I thought I would just spend an afternoon vaccinating some critters with product very generously donated from one of my sales reps. Then, I literally woke up one morning out of the blue wondering that if I were homeless, how would I carry or store dog food? This led to the very beginning of our Wish List, which eventually expanded to include a few more lightweight and easy to carry items for these pets. A few days later, a friend asked me how many of these pets that I was going to help were spayed or neutered. I had no idea… But this question led me to reach out and contact our local spay and neuter coordinator, who was thankfully willing to work with me to provide funding for some of these surgeries. I was hopeful that we might be able to help (maybe??) 10 or 12 pets this way. I presented my initial plan on a Monday night at the Businesses Fo
Yesterday afternoon we were able to vaccinate and microchip over two dozen dogs and cats belonging to residents at the Community of Hope and the surrounding homeless population. Thanks to your generosity these critters also received awesome aid bags and we were able to educate folks about spay/neuter and even spoke with a couple clients regarding our new ARF medical vouchers. I’m still humbled by my clients who donated so generously and the support of Businesses For A Safer Las Cruces—several local business owners took time out of a weekday afternoon to come and help. I’m sure I’ll miss a few—but Stryker’s Shooting World, Oakwood Homes, Las Cruces Dock Diving & K9 Event Center, Fetching Designs, Better Life Natural Pet Foods—and many folks working behind the scenes. Lizz-the Outreach Coordinator-was also great to work with! (Sorry! FB won’t let me tag everyone who was there!!) We met some cool critters and the clients were all very thankful, I feel this was a small step in the right direction. Spay/neuter surgeries should start within a month through SNAP and we will continue to fundraise for both SNAP and Animal Relief Fund (via Dona Ana County). Animals are easy to help ❤️. The continued challenges of homelessness, crime, illegal drugs, and mental illness will be more difficult to address. Please still consider writing/emailing City Council/City Management with your concerns. Las Cruces needs change. https://www.facebook.com/BetterLifePetFoods https://www.facebook.com/OakwoodHomesLasCrucesNM
