There is no way to express how grateful I am for my team at Bark n Buddies. I without a doubt would not be able to focus on fighting cancer like I have without them seamlessly keeping the kennel and the Parlor running.

Thank you for all you do, your endless support and for the poster boards. I loved them!

Thank you to all the amazing customers who signed the poster boards and have sent continous uplifting messages and prayers.

I dont know where I would be without your support.

Thank you to my amazing Husband for hanging them on the wall in my hospital room.

Laying in bed and reading the uplifting messages was everything.

Hey everyone, please keep dog food, cat food, other pet supply donations coming in. They have a long road ahead of them

It's all going to be used up!

Ruidoso, Alto, Mescalero and all those surrounding places have so much on their plate.

I have also received this message today from Starla. She is a long time friend and was also evacuated from Alto.

Her heart is invested with her church to help with clean up efforts.

These are some of the other odds and ends that are needed.

Please feel free to drop these items off at our 1141 center Ave location as well.

They need clean up supplies.

You can Call Starla at 302-4928 if you have any questions about clean up or want to send something on this list. Every little thing helps!

Please share. 💜

Hey everyone!

As you know we do have some evacuee pets in.

People have been asking what they can donate to help with the evacuee pets.

I am gonna be honest.
We are okay at the kennel.
We have what we need.
We appreciate those who have reached out so much!

But there is so much more that is needed elsewhere at evacuee shelters.

Here is a list of needed items we are rounding up to help with pets.

Cat litter
Cat food (any brand)
Crates (large, xl, medium and small)
Crate Pads
Leashes, collars, harnesses
Disposable potty pads
Any brand of dog food
Pet hygiene (brushes, Combs, pet shampoo)
Pet food bowls.
Litter boxes. And scoopers (Clean)
Dog waste bags.

We have two drop off locations

The Kennel location is
1141 Center Ave
From 7 -11am and 3 to 6pm.
Monday through Saturday.
We will have our gate open Sunday to drop off donations.

Parlor location is
106 N lake st.
8am to 3pm. Monday through Friday.

We will be taking this stuff to aid with evacuees pets in Roswell, as well as distributing some to local evacuees who need them in Carlsbad as well as sending some to Ruidoso, Mescalero Apache Reservation, and victims in those areas who were impacted.

We are still taking a few evacuees as space opens up also, no charge. However we are full at this time.

Some people are staying for a week, others are staying just for a day or two, so that they can get a break, or their dog can run in the yards.

I understand that Crates and certain things may sell out or become scarce. Your more than welcome to order online and mail it.

Used items in good shape are definitely welcome.

We can be reached at 575-302-6606

If you call us and we don't answer leave a voicemail, it's hard to hear our phone sometimes.

My team and I, are praying for you all.

Please share.
