Panda was groomed today by volunteer Sheri. He was a matted mess, and now he's feeling (and looking/smelling) so much better! He's also doing meets and greets with potential adopters. Visit or contact us at 575-571-4654; apalascruces.org.

Tomorrow is POW (Pet-of-the-Week) Wednesday -- we will be live at 8:30 on Facebook and Zoom with our friends at Hot 103!

We're back in action this week with a wonderful girl named Nani! Nani is a 5-year old mix breed dog who was adopted 4 years ago from APA and ended up at the shelter. Thankfully, she came back to us because once an APA rescue, always an APA rescue!

She's a mellow and sweet girl who loves people. She can be a little picky when it comes to other dogs in her world, so a slow introduction would be necessary. Bonus: she's a Southern New Mexico PAWS graduate, which means she has successfully learned basic obedience commands. 😃 Tune in tomorrow to see Nani and hear more about her!

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.

We didn't have any adoptions today. Instead, we're bringing you another adoption follow up. This is APA alum Ashley, now Gin Gin. She's a snuggle bug and living her best life in her new home. She's also very fashionable!
