Description

The shelters and rescues are PACKED! Please adopt from them! This is from KRQE today: LOS LUNAS, N.M. (KRQE) – The Valencia County Animal Shelter in Los Lunas is overwhelmed and is asking the public for help. The animal shelter reports that it is completely full as of 5 p.m. on Thursday, July 8 and there will most likely be a euthanasia list on Friday and Saturday as the facility runs out of space and the number of intakes continues at its current rate. [Watermelon Mountain Ranch hosts multiple pet adoption events] The shelter explains that this comes even after the facility had a recent transfer of animals to Colorado. The Valencia County Animal Shelter is an open shelter, meaning they cannot turn away animals being brought in from Valencia County regardless of what the outcome will be for them or the animals currently in their care. Since Tuesday morning, the facility says 113 animals have come into their care. When there are no kennels open, the shelter states there will be a euthanasia list and states they need adoptions made as soon as possible to prevent this from happening.
