Sweet blossom will get in her wings tomorrow at the end of the day. A couple of days ago she lost the use of her back legs. I don’t think she’s in any pain, but it is frustrating for her and she doesn’t understand why she can’t walk or stand without falling down. I was supposed to be giving her the best last two months of her life when I adopted her knowing that the lump under her jaw was likely cancer . But here we are nearly 4 1/2 years later she has done amazingly well and more importantly, she has just been a light! One of the sweetest dogs I’ve ever known. Think of her tomorrow at about 5 o’clock when she is free from her earthly body.

Hard day today. We had a call late yesterday afternoon about a dog in Taos that had run off but returned home with what appeared to be a broken front leg. They had called Mosaic but the estimate given was more than they could afford. I suggested they get in to Turquoise Trail for an exam and X-ray to see what we were dealing with. After a miscommunication late this morning and a broken down car, they were able to get to Mosaic this afternoon. Sadly the dog has bone cancer. Yet another beloved pet gets cancer. We know what that is like. I look at sweet Blossom, yup still here, and just know how hard this is. 💔🐾

Much gratitude to both clinics in Santa Fe for working with us to get the dog in. I just wish it could’ve been different.

This is great news for Taos County! And DAPS is working with the committee to help reorganize Stray Hearts.

Rio Arriba County residents can get free walk-in shots M-Th. at the Española Shelter.

In collaboration with Stray Hearts during their reorganization, Spay Taos will host monthly vaccine clinics at our location to provide continuity of care for the community.

Spay Taos is not eligible yet for the Petco vaccine grant because we haven’t been in business long enough, so donations are greatly appreciated to cover our costs. Average cost of shots per animal is $20 and microchips are $5.

Appointments are highly recommended to reduce wait times but walk-ins will be accepted.

Appointments and donations can be made here

Out walking the dogs before the storm. My lightning indicator said about 10 miles out. That went from 10 miles to about 20 feet awfully fast but we’re home. We’re safe and let it rain!

In this case hysterectomy means leaving the ovaries intact, but removing the uterus. Sounds like a better way?

In this case hysterectomy means leaving the ovaries intact, but removing the uterus. Sounds like a better way?

It’s time to modernize how we sterilize dogs.

Newer, simpler surgical techniques like vasectomy and ovary-sparing spay (hysterectomy) prevent unwanted litters and deadly infections like pyometra—without removing the hormones pets need for healthy physical, metabolic, immunologic and behavioral development.

The problem? Most veterinarians were never taught how to perform these easier procedures. That makes them “specialty surgeries,” which drives up the cost—and keeps them out of shelters and everyday practices where they’re most needed.

Let’s fix this! 🙌🏼 2.0 pet parents want to support shelters, but don’t want to adopt the long-term health consequences personal experience and research demonstrates (thank goodness cats have an entirely different reproductive system and are off the hook).

Please sign my petition, below, to teach hormone-sparing sterilization techniques in veterinary schools worldwide. The next generation of veterinarians—and the animals they serve—deserve better. Petition link in comments ⬇️.

We are at the Petsense Summer Splash event. A wonderful couple from Taos stopped in and fell head over heels for Litha! She now has an older brother to run multiple fenced acres with. I’m sure she misses her original bro so this couldn’t be more perfect! 💕🐾 I cried, both happy tears and sad tears. She is a very special girl. I would have kept her if I didn’t have so many in my care.

This young intact super sweet male is hanging out at the school. If he’s yours, please go pick him up and make an appointment for a free neuter at the Espanola Humane Society 505-753-8662. He is wandering and he is old enough to be a daddy.

Three calls in two days about pets with foreign body obstructions. Rubber gloves, rubber child jewelry, possible stones. Animals pick up on our stress for sure. Sadly for them it can be deadly. Please keep an eye on your pets. 💕🐾
