Part Celebration! Part Animal Foster Fundraiser + Foster Needed Supplies Drive!
Saturday, March 26 from 10:30am - 2:00pm at New Studio A.D. | Art + Design- 312 Rosemont Ave, NE, ABQ

Momma Sweet Pea + 10 Pups

On Saturday, March 26 from 10:30am - 2:00pm, New Studio A.D. | Art + Design will be hosting a combination fundraiser and foster supply drive/drop off day. (If you are unable to attend in person, you may join the fundraiser online at: http://momand10pups.blogspot.com where the journey of this rescue/foster has been archived with many more photos.) This event is directly related to us and our studio as we together recently experienced a life changing event when we answered our first ever call to help rescue (and subsequently foster) a dog and her 10 pups from abuse, abandonment and euthanasia. According to Animal Humane New Mexico, it has been estimated that there are over 60 million homeless animals in the United States alone: a staggering rate of more than a million per state. Even though not all are as lucky, fortunately, there was a happy ending to this particular rescue story for momma + all 10 pups :)

We believe at least two of the pups will be in attendance at this event and more may be in attendance as we hear from those who have recently adopted some of these sweet babies. IMPORTANT NOTE: Please do not bring any animal companions with you to this event. We will not be able to allow them into this event. Vaccination completion for these pups is still in progress so we are not allowing exposure to other animals at this time. Service dogs that may be required at this event for a guest to attend must be wearing current vaccination tags and have proof of current New Mexico or other state license/registration as a trained service dog or as a service dog in training. Please to email for more information.

The fundraiser is being held to help reimburse those foster families for any outstanding expenses they may have incurred when they stepped up to help care for Sweet Pea and her 10 pups after they were rescued from euthanasia from a high-kill New Mexico animal shelter the beginning of this past January. Any funds raised beyond those receipt totals will be donated to Animal Humane New Mexico. Without their assistance beginning when the puppies were almost 3 weeks of age, this success story may have never come to pass.

Along with the fundraiser, we will be collecting much need supplies to deliver to the Animal Humane New Mexico Foster Care program which serves as a vital link between the rescue or care of an animal until that animal is ready for adoption. The foster program needs many different supplies to keep the program running and to make it affordable for people who want to volunteer their time and energy to care for orphaned kittens and puppies, mamas and litters, etc. Please feel free to bring any of the following supplies on the current AHNM foster care list:
