Luna is on the clock and taking her management duties very seriously! 😼💼 From admin assistant to lead "vet," she's doing it all to keep the shelter running.

She might only be 4 weeks old and have absolutely no idea what she’s doing, but she’s doing her absolute best! ❤️

🐾🧸 Toy Drive for Our Shelter Babies!🧸🐾

Our dogs have made their wish lists, and their favorite request is in: **New ** plush squeaky toys!** 💕🐶

While they wait patiently in their kennels for their forever families, toys provide so much more than entertainment. They offer comfort, enrichment, mental stimulation, and a cuddly friend to snuggle with during their shelter stay. A simple toy can help keep their puppy spirits up and make their days a little brighter.
🧸🐾💕
Please see the attached photos for examples of the types of toys our shelter babies love most! Their favorites are the soft, plush squeaky toys that give them both a comforting companion and a fun squeaker to enjoy.

🎁 Donations can be dropped off at:

Gallup McKinley County Animal Protection Shelter
📍 1273 Balok Street, Gallup, NM 87301
📞 505-726-1453

Every toy donated brings comfort, joy, and enrichment to a shelter pet waiting for a second chance. Thank you for all the support and love you continue to share with the rescued animals at your local animal protection shelter.

❤️ You make a real impawwt!🐾
