We invite you to join our inaugural Paws, Claws, and Hooves Fundraising Event!
We are excited to celebrate an evening of fun and giving to make an impact in our community. Our evening will include dinner, a silent auction, and a cash bar, all to support the expansion of veterinary care for our animal companions. We are focused on working toward 24/7 emergency veterinary care in Las Cruces, while assisting our veterinary professionals by providing support, resources, and community education.
The American Veterinary Medical Association has rated the accessibility of veterinary care in Dona Ana a 12 out of 100, deeming it “nearly inaccessible.” At Animal Companions, we are committed to helping our clinics and shelters expand veterinary services and providing 24/7 care for pets in Las Cruces. Together, we can enhance veterinary services for families and their animal companions.
All the funds raised at our Paws, Claws, and Hooves Fundraising Event will go toward recruiting veterinarians and aiding debt relief for new veterinarians in Las Cruces. Animal Companions fully supports externships for veterinary students, helping graduates find jobs in Las Cruces. Of vital importance, we will use donations to educate community members about animal care while working to establish 24/7 emergency clinics in Las Cruces.
