Shelter Pets Transferred Out of Wildfire Zone Find Comfort in Donated Treats & Toys
Andrea Powell
Animal Humane New Mexico took in 59 shelter pets evacuated from the Ruidoso area that has been impacted by wildfires.
The South Fork fire destroyed more than 17,000 acres and burned over 1,400 homes and buildings. The shelter pets at Humane Society of Lincoln County were evacuated just in time as the smoke and flames inched closer.
The shelter survived the fire and flooding that followed with minimal damage and opened their doors to displaced pets.
Thanks to your generous donations, the evacuated dogs and cats were comforted with new toys and tasty treats at Animal Humane New Mexico.
The shelter shared that many of the pets have found homes but there are still several looking for loving homes, like Jabba.
The adorable pup is looking for an active partner who also enjoys cuddling. He is ready for his next adventure to start. Learn more about him here.
The shelter and all the dogs and cats send their thanks. The staff told us, "They especially love the treats (of course!) and toys. Again, thank you so much for these supplies as they have already been so helpful in keeping our shelter pets happy and healthy while they await their forever homes."
Greater Good Charities' GOODS program send much-needed pet supplies and food to animal shelters, thanks to your continued support. Shelters and rescues do their best to care for all the homeless pets. Join us in lending a helping hand by donating here.
