We want to thank Forever Homes Animal Rescue for taking Jacson back and finding him a great partner rescue in Colorado to transfer him to. Jackson was with us for a year--originally rescued off the streets of Las Cruces by the late Linda Jackson. For whatever reason, he never had adoption intetest here. Our large dog adoptions are always slow, even for our trained guys and gals. We hope Jackson can find a home SOON at his new location. He also a graduate of our Southern New Mexico PAWS prison training program.
Best of luck, sweet boy!

We understand people are only trying to help, but immediately removing neonatal kittens and taking them to a shelter should be the LAST resort. Most do not survive.
Follow these guidelines, and call our local community cat experts for advice before you touch any kittens you find:
Broken Promises SW: 575-640-7372
Cruces Cool Cats: 575-386-5585
The Cat's Meow: 575-640-0011
You can also call the municipal shelter, ASCMV, at 575-382-0018 or us at 575-571-4654.
