About Amigo's Fund

Cultivating the Human-Animal Bond

Amigo was a stray at the Farmington Regional Animal Shelter. I spotted him quaking in his kennel, instantly recognized we belonged together, and adopted him. He panted and shook the whole way back to Albuquerque. 

After a couple of rough months, Amigo settled in to life with me, Steven, and Lily, our feline overlord. We couldn't be happier together.

Amigo's Fund celebrates friendship between humans and animals by supporting animal welfare organizations in New Mexico (and a few beyond).
