The amazing work that Espanola Humane is doing across NM to benefit the animals and those who love them is second to NONE. They are in need of fosters, adopters, and they fix, vaccinate, and chip their animals for adopters for a very nominal fee. Consider adopting today!!!
🚨 Our dog kennels and puppy pens are full. Completely, heartbreakingly full. And they just keep coming.
We need help right now, despite our most agile and creative team utilizing every resource, program, and square inch of space. Piles of puppies haven’t been with us long enough to transfer to Colorado yet — state law requires two DAPP vaccines before they can go — so they are here available for adoption while space keeps disappearing. We have wonderful adult dogs of every breed and size and temperament scanning every face that walks by, hoping this is finally their person.
We are also in a foster crisis moment, and even our staff members’ own homes are overflowing with foster babies. If you can’t locate our foster team, just stop and listen for the office space that mews, because each of them travels with boxes of bottle babies. Litters of underage self-feeding kittens are in kennels waiting for foster and they do not need much — just a small corner of your home, a warm place to sleep, food in tiny bowls, and a few weeks to grow big enough for adoption. We have dogs in our prison foster program and dogs in paid boarding waiting for someone to choose them. And this morning, we arrived to take in six two-week-old puppies after being cruelly abandoned in a box and a tiny, tiny kitten somehow left alone in a parking lot.
Adopt. Foster. Share. Say yes to one animal. Tell a friend. Open a spare room, a bathroom, a laundry room, a quiet corner in a kennel. Right now there are too many paws, too many hopeful eyes, and not enough space.
