Through a partnership and several 12-hour long days, the Animal Welfare Coalition of Northeastern New Mexico has recently spayed or neutered more than 1,000 dogs and cats in the area.

29/10/2024

AWC has always had an huge emphasis on providing access to affordable spay and neuter resources in our mission. Over the last decade, our organization has provided care to thousands of animals in our community and our goal is to continue to do so!

COVID, the fires, and moving to a new location in 2022 really put a wrench in our past system so we had to make some adjustments and get creative in ways to continue to help our community. Through this journey, we've formed so many wonderful partnerships and friendships over the past two years and are excited to continue working together!

Thanks to our amazing partners— Animal Balance, Luna Community College, Petco Love, VCA Arrighetti Animal Hospital, Brainerd Animal Health Center, Historic Plaza Hotel, and Prairie Hill Café and Byron T's Saloon—and countless hours from dedicated volunteers, we’re thrilled to celebrate over 1,000 spay and neuter surgeries provided to our community just in the past two years!

We want to send a huge thank you to every volunteer who showed up and worked tirelessly to ensure a smooth and safe 3-day clinic. 🐾🧡 We couldn't get pictures of every amazing person who volunteered but please know you are so appreciated!

We also want to thank every pet owner that showed up and brought their animals to their appointments! And also to the community members that continue to donate to our mission!

If you’re interested in getting your pet spayed or neutered, join the waiting list and/or volunteer list for our next clinic by calling 505-426-6715. Together, we can continue to make a lasting impact!

Woohoo Las Vegas!!
Thanks to Animal Balance and YOU, we have achieved over 1,000 spays and neuters performed with this weekend’s clinic!
This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing support of our community and the delicious food from Prairie Hill Café and Byron T's Saloon, amazing staff Historic Plaza Hotel, and the heroes at Petco Love! We also appreciate the extra skillset and support of Brainerd Animal Health Center and VCA Arrighetti Animal Hospital. All of this magic happens thanks to Luna Community College.
Your donations, volunteer hours, and commitment to animal welfare are transforming lives and making a real difference. Together, we’re tackling the animal overpopulation issue and building a safer, healthier future for all our pets. Here’s to a compassionate community and a brighter tomorrow for our furry friends!

AWC had the pleasure of speaking with Ida from Europa Hair Studio and the UWC-USA's Youth Allies to discuss community and animal welfare issues and to begin brainstorming a few solutions and action steps to take.

What an incredible group of young folks with such bright ideas, the motivation to work towards change, and the ability to work together to see progress!

Involving youth in community actions focused on animal welfare is vital for fostering compassion, responsibility, and awareness from a young age. By engaging them in projects such as community outreach, animal welfare research, rescue, volunteering, or wildlife conservation, we empower the next generation to become advocates for ethical treatment and environmental stewardship. These experiences not only teach empathy for animals but also cultivate a sense of community service, teamwork, and leadership, helping shape more conscientious and compassionate future citizens. Investing in youth involvement today ensures a kinder, more humane world for both humans and animals tomorrow!
