🐾 THE DEMAND IS GROWING. THE SUPPORT MUST FOLLOW.
More families need affordable spay/neuter services than AnimalVillageNM can currently fund.
Our veterinary partner, Paw in Hand, has generously offered additional surgery opportunities in November.
But available appointments alone don’t pay for surgeries.
We need YOUR help to turn those opportunities into healthier pets and stronger communities.
Every contribution helps:
-
$25 — Helps build our surgery fund.
-
$65 — Makes a meaningful contribution toward surgery costs.
-
$200 — Funds AnimalVillageNM’s standard contribution toward one pet’s care.
THE OPPORTUNITY IS HERE. WILL YOU HELP US MEET THE DEMAND?
