LIZ WOLF

Liz Wolf combines 11 years in animal welfare (measured, naturally, in dog years) with 25+ in publishing and fund development to advocate for animals and animal advocates in New Mexico, which adopted her in 1991. Affiliated with Animal Protection New Mexico for several years, Liz now works as a writer, editor, consultant, and volunteer, frequently in cahoots with other advocates.

Coming late August: Animal Services in New Mexico: A Needs Assessment for the North Central Region is based on 100+ interviews with animal welfare professionals, volunteers, and advocates like you. Published by Animal Protection New Mexico, sponsored by NCNMEDD. Check back for a link to this first-of-its-kind, 150-page report centering New Mexico's animal services sector.

The people who clean the kennels, muck the stalls, sponsor clinics, lobby at the Roundhouse, and stand up for animals in ways big and small — you drive and inspire what we do. Amigo's Fund, named for the scrappy shelter dog who stole Liz's heart, gives small grants to shelters, rescues, and advocacy groups in New Mexico (and a few beyond).
