Starting in January 2022 we increased our prices to $20 for a dog and $10 for a cat.

We have made gift certificates in the denomination of $10 and $20, the cost of an individual sterilization for a cat or a dog. Do you have a friend or neighbor or worker who has an animal needing to be sterilized? Please tell them that the procedure will make their animals safer and free them from the worry of the related illnesses or injuries that might ensue with cat or dog fights.

These certificates are an easy way to help. They are available at the Animales table at the BCP Tuesday Market or at our clinics.

This amazing quilt was lovingly made by Sarah Zink, a master quilter and wonderful supporter of Amigos de Animales. Congratulations to our winner: Sandra Ashmore!  Thank you to Sarah and all who donated. We made over $1,200!

There are so many local families struggling this past year. Since the pandemic started, we have been purchasing dog and cat food at a cost of about $1,300 per month.  We have been distributing this food to local families through the government and our collectors. We delivered over 14,000 pounds of pet food in 2021, and more than 17,000 pounds in 2022.  Our main requirement is that all animals must be sterilized.  We raised $15,594 in 2022, and our goal is $15,000 for 2023. Any donation is helpful. Thank you. Donate here

The lucky 30,000th animal is a dog named Way, who lives in Jaramillo and was brought to the clinic by Rosemary Lumy, one of our very dedicated collectors, and his owner, Rosa Ortiz. Rosemary has collected over 100 animals from the Jaramillo, La Estrella and La India areas. As you can tell, she is tireless in her efforts to help needy animals.

In January 2022 we held a Training session via Zoom for New and Returning Volunteers. The meeting mainly covered the process that an animal goes through as it travels through the clinic, from Registration all the way to Recovery and going home safely. Please watch the video here.
