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).

CC places shelter dogs with inmate handlers at the Fulton County Jail, Georgia, who give them the love and obedience training they need to recover.
New Mexico animal welfare nonprofits are welcome to apply for a small grant ($500 to $1,000) for general operating or program support.
