UPDATE: This puppy has found a home! Thank you to everyone who has inquired!! Let’s use our same enthusiasm to help adopt and foster the dogs in need at the shelter. Thank you everyone!!! ♥️🐾♥️🐾

A Good Samaritan got this sweet puppy from a lady in Walmart yesterday. It was this person’s every intention to keep this puppy, but things didn’t work out. This adorable puppy needs a home today by 3. She comes with $100 worth of supplies. If you are interested, please DM me. Thank you! ♥️🐾

Please look at these photos of the dogs that are at risk for euthanasia. The shelter desperately needs help with adoption or fostering to save these lives. These dogs are good dogs who don’t deserve to be euthanized. Let’s help save their lives!!!

Please adopt or foster to avoid euthanasia. These sweet lives need your help!! Keep an eye out this week for posts of adoptable dogs. A minimum of 8 dogs needs homes to save their lives!!

We are back to being far over capacity.
Last week, animal control brought in an abundance of dogs and we are unable to keep up between the 3 people working at the shelter.

Los Alamos County Animal Shelter ❤️ took a group of dogs from us on Wednesday and we were sure this would get us a little breathing room. We were full again the next day. Within two days after that, we were over capacity by about 8 dogs again.

This week we need to find placement for a minimum of 8 dogs or we will have to euthanize for space. We will post a list of at risk, fully adoptable dogs in the coming days.

If you can foster, adopt, or help find rescue placement, please reach out.

On top of this, we will be closed this week and will only be accepting appointments, rather than walk in services due to the overcrowding & the need to catch up on many things. We have over 60 calls to return from the last 2 weeks so please be patient with us.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

The photo below is of Gregory, one of the dogs at risk of being euthanized. 💔

The animal crisis we are facing is breaking our hearts and we are so busy trying to keep up with it all. We are exhausted - mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Hello all!

The building we are currently renting is getting a new owner as of September 1. This new owner has decided to raise the rent by 100%. This is incredibly discouraging since Stinky Dog’s Salon hasn’t been open for a full year.

We are now needing to find a new building to rent. It is incredibly difficult to find anyone who feels comfortable renting to a business that has dog clientele and I keep getting denied.

If there is anyone in our Stinky Dog’s pack who knows how clean I keep my establishment and knows of anyone who would be willing to rent to us, please let me know ASAP.

Thank you all!

Cuddles and Tail Wags,

Dominique

Good morning Stinkies!!

This is a friendly reminder that my new policies take effect in a few days. As of July 1, there will be automatic cancellation fees, matting fees, and flea/tick fees.

Also, I am very happy to announce that my schedule is almost completely booked for the remainder of the year! I am so thankful and full of joy from all of your love and support!! I couldn’t have asked for a better community to open my business in.

If you haven’t gotten your stinky dog on a schedule to ensure appointments for the remainder of the year, please contact me at 505-652-0422 ASAP. If you’re an existing client and want to make sure your stinky dog is nice and clean for the holidays, book your appointments now!

Just a heads up- if you have to cancel or you no-call/no-show, I may not be able to reschedule you as my books are almost completely full. Also, as much as I’d love to groom everyone, appointments aren’t interchangeable. I have set times I schedule according to dog breed, size, temperament, and coat condition and I have to schedule with those factors in mind.

Thank you so much, everyone!! I have the best clients and the cutest stinky dogs I groom. I appreciate you all! ♥️🐾

Update: Michael is not michrochipped, so now we’re on a mission to get him adopted. Michael is very sweet but he hasn’t been taught manners and house rules. He will need a home with patient humans who can take the time to train him. He’s great with other dogs and cats and loves to cuddle (he thinks he is a lap dog). If you’re interested in Michael or know someone who is, please let us know!!

Alright Stinkies, we need your help again. This little guy showed up at our house last night and “knocked” to come inside. He was covered in mud and a little scared, but not afraid to ask for help. He’s SUPER sweet and we’re calling him Michael.
We’re hoping our pack can help us find his humans. If you know who he belongs to, please contact us ASAP. We are taking him to the shelter when it opens to see if he’s microchipped. Let’s find Michael’s home!! ♥️🐾

Join me as I groom sweet Millie!! She’s so precious, I can’t wait to see her again. ♥️🐾
