DEMING - Deming Animal Guardians (DAG), a local animal welfare organization, has launched an innovative program in collaboration with the Southwest NM Correctional Facility.
The program, which began last Friday, involves inmates training dogs provided by DAG. The first batch of four dogs will start their 8-week training course this Wednesday. DAG is responsible for all supplies and has hired a professional trainer for the program. The community can look forward to “graduation” photos in a couple of months.
In addition to this, DAG has been granted permission by Peppers Supermarket to place a bulletin board near their exit. This board will be used to raise awareness about DAG, their services, and animals available for adoption. The lower portion of the bulletin board will be available for other local non-profit organizations to promote their charities.
Despite being short on funds, DAG is encouraging the community to support them by nominating them as a worthwhile charity for funding on the Unwanted Animals website. Community members can share their experiences with DAG, such as pet adoptions, pet food bank services, rescues, pet food giveaways combined with humane education, and the prison program.
DAG has also been working closely with Watermelon Ranch in Albuquerque. The Ranch has been instrumental in accepting kittens from DAG for adoption in the Albuquerque area. On Saturday, DAG’s director Chrystal drove 12 cats to Watermelon Ranch in Rio Rancho. So far this year, 71 of the 122 cats rescued by DAGSHIP & CAR have been transferred, with 41 going to Watermelon Ranch.
With these initiatives, DAG continues its mission to improve animal welfare and engage the community in Deming.
