Two major events happened which cost us volunteers, one was KFox put a disgruntled former employee on their news to bad mouth us saying we killed animals.  We, as with all nokill shelters, sometimes find it necessary to euthanise very old, sick, unmanagable, mean animals and that the word ‘no kill’ did not mean ‘never kill’.  We adopt a lot of animals and the more an agency takes in the larger the chance a pet might not be savable but we regularly save 3 legged dogs, deaf dogs, dogs that snap and shiver in the back of the cage in total fear, pregnant dogs and we allw them to have their babies not believing in abortion even in pets. God causes mother nature to form tiny little features, little toe nails, noses etc each a perfect replica of parents. Early this year we put down a dog we had held for   8 years.   Finally sick, unable to stand, vomiting and thin, we released her to a better life.  During this time we calculate we tried adopting her 6 times to no avail and spend over $3000 on medications plus care and so on.  The next thing that happened is a local group got national coverage and the lure of this took our last adult volunteer.  We had also lost our two finest to moves out of El Paso. You get paid a lot, the dogs and cats kiss you and love you. Anyone can buy a dog but only love can make its tail wag. It is a little drive to our place in the country but quiet, beautiful and serene.  We have landscaped with roses, black berries, blue berries and other plants.  We have many pine tees.  While this place is not as large as where we moved from, the septic systems work, the shower does not flood the next room, the air conditioner and heater work, it is ours. Here there i s no morning barrage of swearing and throwing things by the owner’s manager.
