Adoption Follow-up Monday features APA and Southern New Mexico PAWS alum Rayder. He's super happy in his home, and his family thanked us for all we do. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts for giving this special boy a loving, caring home.πŸΎπŸ’™πŸΎ

Our pet food bank is empty after yesterday's distribution. We had to turn some people away when we ran out of food despite purchasing some recently. With the continued government shutdown plus other recent hardships, our services are in more demand.
The Dog Chow is on sale at Sam's. We are going to order some today.
When you become an APA Recurring Donor Hero, you help us always have the funds we need to purchase food and supplies and pay vet bills and address emergencies, etc. We always look for ways/deals to stretch our donated dollars. We don't take a cent for granted!

Jane is over-the-moon happy today because she was adopted after a successful Sleepover. And her new family is going to take over her care for her hip dysplasia she was born with. She's one lucky gal!

Trying to rescue vulnerable lives does not always end well. We lost poor Twister this morning despite the best efforts of the good people at Schumacher Veterinary Clinic. He was just too frail and dehydrated and could not pull through. He weighed 1 pound and was the sweetest little soul. Rest in peace, sweet baby. And help us pray that his little brother survives (Mummy). πŸ˜ΏπŸ’™πŸˆ
