In case you're not aware how cold it is 🥶 Here are some tips from our friends at NMDOG 🙏

‼️🚨 New Mexico! Statewide COLD WEATHER WARNING accompanied by snow & freezing rain STARTING WEDNESDAY. ❄️🧊🌧️‼️

Please ensure your outdoor animals have the provisions they need to stay warm & dry. The best solution…bring your dogs inside! 🏠 🐾

If you have outdoor dogs, please follow these guidelines in an effort to keep them safe in the freezing temperatures: 💕🐾

~ PROVIDE SHELTER - this consists of a doghouse with 4 sides, a roof, a floor & a door for them to go in & out of. Make sure the doghouse is not too big, yet roomy enough for them to stand up & turn around in. Precious body heat is lost when a house is too large for the dog it is sheltering. Face the door of the doghouse away from the wind & elevate it up off of the ground using a pallet or something similar. Use a heavy blanket, tarps, etc to cover it.

~ SHELTER IS NOT ENOUGH! There must be some sort of insulation. Do not use blankets, cloth, towels or hay inside of the doghouse - USE STRAW ONLY! Straw acts as a heat insulator & often times, it is the difference between life & death of an outdoor animal. Straw can be purchased at any feed store for around $6/bale & many NM shelters offer FREE STRAW to their communities! 🚫🧊🐾

~ Even in the coldest of temperatures, ALL animals require access to POTABLE WATER to survive. They dehydrate easily as they lose body heat! Ensure your dog has access to fresh (not frozen!) water at all times.

~ Outdoor dogs burn up EXTRA CALORIES trying to stay warm, so be sure you are feeding enough! It’s always a good idea to increase the amount of their breakfast & dinner, if you are feeding an outdoor dog in the winter!

‼️ If you see an outdoor dog without the proper provisions, please notify your local animal control department or shelter immediately.
Not only is it cruel & heartless, but leaving your dog outside to freeze is also ILLEGAL & there are concerned eyes everywhere! 👀
So PLEASE....just do the right thing & take care of your animals. Sincerely, .

WHEW 🐾
Last Saturday we were contacted about 'Olivia' a newly adopted dog that got startled on a walk & bolted, dragging a slip lead, the evening before. Saturday we went out to the Mesa del Sol community in SE Albuquerque to take posters and set up a support station, box trap & camera in the adopters yard hoping Olivia would circle back, which she didn't. Reports of sightings started being reported on the Mesa del Sol Nextdoor group so we knew she was around, it was just a matter of getting ahead of her. We took a drive out there Sunday to see if we could get eyes on her and we did. She was standing in a garage of a house that was under construction. We continued rolling by and Olivia being on high alert, in full flight mode, ran off into the housing community. We went & got the box trap & camera and set it the open garage for the night hoping she would circle back, which she didn't. Sightings on Nextdoor continued to get reported, also reported were people trying to 'catch' her. The hardest part is getting good intentioned people to refrain from trying to catch a dog that is in full flight/survival mode. Dogs can't distinguish people trying to help them vs hurt them. Monday morning we knew the construction crew would be in the area so we went for the trap. One homeowner reported seeing Olivia on her ring camera several times so we asked that she put out something enticing for her. We were confident we could secure her if we had her coming in somewhere. During this time we had learned that attempts had been made to try & trap Olivia in the past so we were weary of a box trap. Yesterday morning we went out & set up the missy trap where she visited several times the night before & early morning. When we arrived onsite, we saw her across the street. The missy trap was set by 10:00 yesterday morning and a heavy scent/food trail was laid out. We parked nearby and waited. And waited. There was only one reported sighting of her during the day yesterday. By 6:30ish last evening, Olivia showed up on camera for dinner. She picked up every morsol of goodness & within seconds she followed her nose into the missy. Whew. Olivia's 4 day adventure was over. Another example of complete strangers coming together to save this sweet soul. Thank you Mesa del Sol community, thank you Love for Paws El Paso rescue, thank you Nick, Sara, Teresa, Lorene, Kate & Bonnie for your trust & support 🙏
