The Summer Grind continues.....
Last weekend, when things went south at the last minute, we pivoted, not cancelled...flexibility means lives saved!
A clinic that was supposed to be in Jemez Pueblo changed at the very last minute to Upper Fruitland. No appointments in the book, no space to use, no lodging.....but with the dedication of our crew, it was seamless!
With a dedicated surgeon, HCP Dr. P**n and a bad--- support team, 60 animals were sterilized and a couple more treated, including a girl who tried to mess with a porcupine. In addition, several other rescues took place, including a scared girl who was laying in the middle of the highway confused and likely dumped, we fed a few skeletal dogs and are monitoring their situation as well.
Amid space constraints, 44 animals, including a bunch of cats from Cortez Animal Control, made their way North with us. This also included a box of newborn puppies that were abandoned at the site of a Squaw Dance.
Thank you Gina for securing a location last minute, Taylor for her boogie to get appointments set, Yvonne and Aimee for getting lunch and our team for pivoting last minute.
Thank you to the State Of New Mexico Spay/Neuter Grant and Colorado Animal Rescue Express for walking with us on this one! 16 years later- we are still doing it thanks to our supporters!
