Viva New Mexico Rural Animal Rescue

Viva Fam, this is Valentine.

She was surrendered to the Valencia County shelter toward the end of last month with her sister. Their owner died.

Sadly, Valentine’s sister couldn’t handle the shelter environment and took her stress and fear out on Val. The sister was euthanized. Please do not comment here bashing the shelter about this decision. These types of situations are awful for everyone involved, and this post is not about that.

This post is about Valentine. She is safe at Daisy Farm Sanctuary and has been for a bit over a week now. She’s still scared, but she’s doing ok.

Yesterday, she saw the vet and while her bites are healing well, they found mammary growths. A lot of them.

She’ll need surgery for them, and that means $. If you’d like to pitch in towards that, you can do so here: https://paypal.me/vivarescue?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US No Paypal account is needed.

Please share 💛

DEMING, NEW MEXICO:

Do we have any followers in the Deming area who could go to the shelter and take pictures of a dog there for rescue?

Please comment here, if so and we’ll put you in contact to help!

The shelter appears to be open Monday-Saturday from noon to 4:45 pm local time.

What a doll!
