🐾 HELP US BRING PET FOOD TO THOSE WHO NEED IT MOST! 🐶🐱❤️

As our community continues to recover from the devastating floods, we know many families are still facing challenges, including making sure their pets have enough food.

🚐 We want to bring our Mobile Pet Food Pantry directly to the areas that need it most!

We need YOUR help! Are there neighborhoods or communities impacted by the flooding that could benefit from a visit from our Mobile Pet Food Pantry?

📍 Drop the neighborhood or area in the comments! We want to make sure we're reaching families who may not be able to come to us for assistance.

❤️ Our community has come together in incredible ways, and we want to continue supporting families and their beloved pets through this difficult time.

🐾 Because no family should have to worry about feeding their pets while rebuilding their lives.

🐾❤️ FREE ADOPTIONS – HELP US MAKE ROOM! ❤️🐾

As our community begins to recover from the devastating floods, the Farmington Regional Animal Shelter is preparing for the next step in caring for the animals affected by this disaster.

❤️ ALL ADOPTION FEES ARE WAIVED! ❤️

Over the past couple of weeks, our emergency shelter has provided a safe place for animals displaced by the flooding. As we begin transitioning these dogs and cats to our main shelter, we need your help opening up kennel space!

Right now, we have so many wonderful dogs and cats waiting for their forever homes. By adopting, you're not only giving a deserving animal a second chance, but you're also helping us make room for the animals who still need our care.

Every adoption makes a difference. Every empty kennel means we can help another animal in need. 🐶🐱

Our community has been through so much, and the outpouring of love and support has been nothing short of incredible.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Farmington Regional Animal Shelter will be CLOSED TODAY.

First and most importantly: ALL ANIMALS AND STAFF ARE SAFE.

Earlier today, a small fire broke out at the shelter, creating a significant amount of smoke. Thanks to the quick action of our team and local first responders, the fire was quickly put out. No animals or people were harmed.

Out of an abundance of caution, the building will remain closed today while officials investigate the cause and ensure the facility is completely clear and safe.

We know how deeply our community cares about the pets in our care, and we want to reassure you that our team is actively on-site attending to the animals and keeping them comfortable, safe, and loved.

OUR EMERGENCY SHELTER IS OPEN:
Our temporary emergency shelter located at 109 E. Piñon remains OPEN regular hours today.

We will share an update tomorrow regarding any impacts to our normal operations and reopening schedule.

If you have urgent questions, you can reach our team by phone at (505) 599-1098.

Thank you so much to Farmington Fire for their rapid response, and to our wonderful community for your patience, concern, and ongoing support. Please stay tuned here for further updates!
