Off leash: Doubled donations help double the fun

Those who spent last weekend’s Halloween festivities decked out in funny garb probably would have felt right at home at Zoe & Guido’s Pet Boutique. Crazy was the order of the day, from owner Pam Hagan’s green skin and black hat, to a unique “pet psychic” with her own big hat and helpful suggestions. There were plenty of costume-clad canines and owners, although Cindy Roper’s homage to recycling won top honors from the judges. And if you’re into canine freestyle, the Santa Fe Dog Dancing Clu… Continue

Found Cat

Joe's favorite pastime is following a patch of sunshine across the floor in a series of naps all day, but he also loves to catch grasshoppers in my small fenced yard. He is a big, bold, smart, magnificent cat. He is young and healthy. Everyone who meets him thinks h… Continue

Gallup NM Reaching Out!

The Gallup McKinley County Humane Society is reaching out to Santa Fe for help! They are slammed and their euth rate is 75% right now! They are asking us if we can absorb some of their dogs into our rescue organizations. The point of contact is Sena Fitzpatrick at . Some of their dogs are posted on petfinder.com.

Snake Sighting at the Dog Park

Today Monday around noon we came upon a very long yellowish, patterned snake on the lower trail that parallels the arroyo. It was lying across the trail and then had still plenty to body left to curl up in to. It did not seem to be bothered by our approach, or by my little Sumo-boy jumping right over it! No rattles, so I assume it was a benign Bullsnake. Still a shock to come upon a snake, I had assumed that it was too cold for them now? Bullsnakes have been sighted before on that lower trail, b… Continue

Little Lilly went over the Bridge today....

We used to sing to her the "little-little lilly song..." That was before we understood she was deaf. Lilly, was named "rocket" by the Espanola shelter. Abandoned by her owners at the age of 10-years, this had been the 4th time she was picked up by the control, running with the chain. I often wondered, "… Continue

Hider's tummy ache

My 16 year old black cat, Hider, is just now getting over a very angry GI tract. We noticed that she wasn't eating or using the litter box, starting last Friday. I took her into the vet's office and she got fluids, an antibiotic injection and an appetite stimulant. That worked for Saturday, but Sunday, she has very bad diarrhea and very green vomit. She spent Monday and Tuesday in hospital getting treatment for possible pancreatitis. I brought her home Wednesday. I'm continuing her treatment… Continue

Off leash blog: Changing hearts and minds – with a little push

Those who work to improve the lives of animals know that it’s an often frustrating effort, marked more by setbacks than anything else. So it’s great when a group of like-minded animal lovers can come together to simply celebrate and acknowledge that there have been successes along the way, despite what sometimes seems like insurmountable odds. Last Sunday, Animal Protection of New Mexico celebrated 30 years of working toward the humane treatment of all animals at The Chalk Farm Gallery on Canyo… Continue

Jackson sighted in Pecos on Joya del Padre

Last weekend I received a call from a woman named Tara in Pecos, who said she had seen Jackson for two days on her road. Her description was the best yet - including the color of his collar. She went up to Griegos Market/ Gas Station and checked the picture. He was evidently camping out in a drainage ditch on Joya del Padre, a long road to the right just before Griegos Market (and the 4 wy stop) and had even followed her car one day and followed her landlord home. He must have been hungry, Of co… Continue

Share YOUR favorite Off Leash Hike? Chupadera Wilderness Trail

We had a wonderful hike this afternoon! In an effort to share with you some of OUR favorite hikes where our dogs can run off leash, I want to tell you about the Chupadera Wilderness Trail. It is not exactly close to Santa Fe but if you ever drive down to Bosque del Apache, take your dogs and do this hike! The trailhead is about a mile BEFORE you get to the official entry into the Bosque. You will cross the rail road tracks on your way to the Bosque. As soon as you have crossed the tracks and th… Continue

Shuffling Dogs to make room for More.

Where do I start.... I work with mostly big dogs. 40+ pounds and up. I do get smaller ones, but try not to keep them at my home because the mix is not always "safe". I seem to end up with "needy" dogs and, until they even out, they can be reactive. But even if I have to keep a dog several months, I (so-far) have had great luck with rehabbing and re-homing. Right now I have two smaller dogs, Sophie and Li'l Jack; a corgi/pug and a schnoodle (respectively). Both are currently posted on petfinder… Continue
