Taos County Pets Get a Second Chance with Emergency Adoption Services

  • Local Champion: Four Corners Animal League
  • Date Funded: November 15, 2023
  • Grant Amount: $9,500

The only animal shelter in Taos has ceased operations, leaving many pets without homes and contributing to an increase in stray animals needing care. To address this problem, the Four Corners Animal League has stepped in to provide emergency shelter and food for animals found in Taos County. They’ll soon be hosting community-wide adoption clinics where they’ll provide spay, neuter, vaccination, and other services to animals prior to adoption, and the LOR Foundation has helped them purchase supplies necessary to provide those essential services.
