(Deming) – Deming-Luna County Humane Society and DAGSHIP Rescue staff and volunteers have been caring for the approximately 80 animals housed at the Ruff Ruff Animal Sanctuary off Rockhound Road after the sanctuary’s owner was locked off the property by the property’s owner.
Luna County Sheriff’s Captain Jose Martinez said property owner Randy Pirie is in the process of evicting Ruff Ruff owner Raymond Schmal, and had Schmal served with legal documents Dec. 1st that did not allow him on the property. Humane Society President Matt Robinson said they have been feeding and watering the animals since then, and have taken approximately 10 animals from the Ruff Ruff facility for additional care. Robinson added that an agreement has been drafted between the Humane Society shelter, DAGSHIP Rescue and Ruff Ruff that would allow the shelter and DAGSHIP to take possession of the remaining animals. He said the agreement is in the process of being signed by all parties. Ruff Ruff was in the news this summer when 63-year-old Michael Muir, an employee at the sanctuary, was charged with alleged animal cruelty after 10 animals died in July due to his negligence. Deming Revitalization Plans Revealed
(Deming) – Deming city officials are looking at ways to revitalize Deming, connect the west and east ends of the community, and attract travelers off the interstate.
City Administrator Aaron Sera said they’ve been working with students from the University of New Mexico School of Architecture and Planning in Albuquerque, and the Woodburry University School of Architecture in San Diego, CA, to come up with ideas to boost economic development and take advantage of local assets. At a public meeting Wednesday, the university students showcased their ideas, which centered around creating an incubator site using shipping containers that would be anchored with a city-owned small brewery. Sera said a market analysis showed the brewery would attract residents and tourists to help support entrepreneurs starting new businesses in the incubator. Other projects addressed by the students included a larger Western New Mexico University and Early College High School facility, and a Taste of Deming Tour to highlight local restaurants.
