Bring home a furry friend for the holidays with half-off adoptions

Posted

If you’re looking for that perfect furry friend to join your family, don’t miss out on ACTion Programs for Animals’ (APA) Home for the Holidays adoption special, which begins Thursday, Nov. 25, and continues through Jan. 1.

With the exception of small dogs, all adoptions are 50 percent off during that time.

 To meet adoptable animals, visit the APA adoption center, 537 N. Solano Drive, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Saturday, or call 575-571-4654 to schedule an appointment. (The adoption center will be closed Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.)

Adoptable animals may also be viewed online at apalascruces.org.

“We look forward to the holidays and our Home for the Holidays campaign each year,” said APA Executive Director Michel Meunier. “The holiday season is a great time to bring a new furry family member home.”

Nora Insurriaga, manager of the APA adoption center, said there are many animals waiting for a home.

“Not only do we have numerous kittens available, we also have great dogs who were trained at our Prisoners and Animals Working Toward Success (P.A.W.S.) program waiting for a home,” said Insurriaga. “Come visit us during our Home for the Holidays special to take advantage of the half-off adoption fee.”

Online holiday auction

APA’s Second Chance Thrift Store will host an online auction in partnership with Mesilla Valley Estate sales in two blocks: Nov. 24 to Dec. 1 and Dec. 1 to 8.

Each auction block will feature 125 items, including jewelry, artwork and a wide range of holiday gifts. The minimum bid will be 99 cents.
