A 501(c)3 rescue based in Albuquerque, NM whose mission is: to be the yes to animals with shut doors

11/01/2026

I'd like to introduce y'all to Santa's Little Helper. 🎄

Yes.
That's her name.
Yes, my husband named her.
Yes, I love it.

I call her "Santi" for short, because I'm not yelling "SANTA'S LITTLE HELPER, GET OFF THE COUCH" at 2am.

Santi has demodex, tiny mites that overgrow in the skin when a dog's immune system has been through it. (Not contagious to humans, before anyone asks.) So she's currently rocking the "rotisserie chicken" look, and let's just say her pores are… actively exfoliating. 🤢 We don't talk about the couch.

But she's under the best medical care, and she has absolutely no idea anything is wrong with her. She just loves life. Every person is her best friend. Every blanket is hers.

My favorite thing about her: most dogs hesitate a little before licking your face. Santi does not hesitate. Santi commits 1000%. Santi will try to groom your nostril hairs. You will not be ready.

Her treatment is not cheap. Meds, skin scrapes, rechecks, and medicated baths all add up fast. If you can chip in even $5, you're helping this bald little gremlin grow back into the fluffy princess she was always meant to be. 💛

Share if you can't give. Santi thanks you with one (1) aggressive nostril

A note from our president:

Hair grows back. Hope grows stronger. ❤️🎗️

Today at Howl & Growl 2026, I said goodbye to my hair for something so much bigger than myself.

I shaved my head in honor of the warriors who have fought cancer, those who are still fighting, and those whose battles live on in the hearts of the people who love them.

For so many, losing their hair isn’t a choice. It’s a painful reminder of a battle they never asked to fight. I had the privilege of making that choice today, and I did it with love, respect, and solidarity.

But there was another beautiful purpose behind the clippers: raising money for the incredible 7 nonprofits participating in Howl & Growl hosted by Boofy's Best for Pets and Tía-Mom's Cocina! There were 4 other amazing humans who also participated. These organizations that we were raising money for (including us!) pour their hearts, time, and resources into making a difference.

As someone who knows how much love, sacrifice, and determination go into running a nonprofit, being able to give back to others doing the same means the world to me.

So here’s to the warriors, the survivors, the loved ones we’ve lost, the organizations that refuse to give up, and a community that continues to show up for one another.

My hair will grow back. The reason I shaved it will stay with me forever. ❤️

And a special thank you to my husband for standing beside me through every adventure, including this very shaved head one. 😂❤️

And a VERY special thank you to our amazing volunteers who came out and endured the down pour. To Argen, Lydia, Julie, Britani, Dr. Payne, and Zander! 🐾🐾

Riley and her foster brother through another rescue Joseph (now adopted) would like to remind everyone that vaccinations allow your pets to be social without worrying about spreading serious diseases that could be fatal or, at the very least, very expensive to treat. Good thing our next low-cost pet vaccination clinic is Saturday! Register your pets at Tinyurl.com/YKMYCEBM or walk in.

Midge's puppies have found homes. Three of them even have the same extended family! Jasper, now Tyson, was adopted by the adult daughter of the couple who adopted both Elektra, now Poppy, and Fudd, still Fudd. Happy tails, puppies!

Our director is taking the plunge and shaving her head if we meet this fundraising goal!

She’s quite nervous but equally excited! Come out and support these amazing rescues who do thankless jobs.

Plus, you don’t want to miss the head shaving!

10/12/2026

Vaccinations protect your pet against potentially deadly diseases like rabies and parvovirus. We offer that protection at affordable prices. If your cat or dog is due for vaccinations, sign up at Tinyurl.com/YKMYCEBM and then you can rest easy, like Queso on the couch here, knowing your pet is protected. Our next clinic is Saturday.
