Fat Dog Ranch Sanctuary provides permanent homes to all species of animals. Our residents (family members) have come to us after being neglected, abandoned and/or abused. We are careful to maintain a human-animal ratio that ensures everyone receives plenty of love, healthy food, cozy shelter and emotional connection.

DONATE TO FAT DOG RANCH!

FAT DOG RANCH 2024 FINANCIAL REPORT

Fat Dog Ranch had a busy 2024 with 7 new animals joining our family. We now have 62 furry, feathered, hoofed and pawed beings living their best lives at the sanctuary. With so many residents, our expenses grew by more than $10k from 2023 expenses. We rescued several animals with expensive medical needs as well as an increase in spay/neuter costs for the puppies that came here (still need to do three more spays!).

We met a guardian angel, Jenny, who works in a veterinary clinic in Albuquerque. Jenny has donated SO MANY surplus medications and food. We also added two part-time Ranch Hands to help with the outside chores. Also notable is the fantastic food and bed donations we received all year from "the yoga ladies" in Yoga Debbie's classes in Sandia Park!

As both Jennifer and I work full-time at our day jobs, we didn't find much time to do fundraising. Nonetheless, our supporters donated $4,240! We hope to do better about fundraising in 2025.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered, donated and scooped poop during 2024. The animals here at our sanctuary are all healthy and happy (except Lita Ford, the chihuahua who hates everyone (even though we love her).

Our Furry and Feathered Family

Belinda Carlisle

Belinda is one of our newest family members and definitely the one requiring the most care (diabetic and blind). Our brilliant vet and Board Secretary, Dr. Clark, is working on getting her diabetes under control and Belinda has gained almost 3 lbs since she came to Fat Dog Ranch. She is a sweet girl whom we love so much already.

Michael Bean (Bean)

Bean joined us at the beginning of October after his owner she couldn't care for him properly and was going to take him to the animal shelter. Roots Sanctuary helped majorly with the rescue and now Bean is neutered, vaccinated and living large in charge. This is a good thing as he was frothing at the mouth (literally) when he met our female pigs.
