Affordable Veterinary Care
Our Goals for services
Objective:
To implement an affordable veterinary care clinic located in Farmington, New Mexico at 3110 Bloomfield Highway, a current leased property of Denkai Animal Sanctuary DBA New Mexico Animal Welfare League.
Statement of Need:
Every day, Denkai receives phone calls from within the Four Corners from individuals both on the Native American Indian Reservations and in surrounding municipalities begging for help for their pets in need of the most simple, basic care.
The reason is always the same. They are unable to afford veterinary care due to being on a fixed income, low income or homelessness. Their pets were not spayed or neutered and now they have ten that they can not care for with puppies suffering and dying of parvo, anemia from flea and tick infestations or they have been severely injured with broken bones or slit throats to name a few.
We do all that we can but it is not enough. We need to attack this issue at its roots and can do that by establishing an affordable veterinary practice with sliding scale fees, grants that offer free spay/neuter, and other subsidized programs for individuals in need.
Goals: To provide affordable, subsidized and sliding fee scale full service veterinary care for shelter animals and those in the surrounding community. Focusing on spay/neuter and preventative care. To work hand in hand with local area clinics in an effort to create collaboration for clients.
Time Line to Implement: SIX MONTHS once funding is secured.
FUNDING NEEDED:
Start up costs -
Equipment and one month of useable supplies for the clinic: $50,000
Annual Operating Expenses: Year 1 - $315,000
(does not include start up costs for equipment)

LIFE SAVING DONATIONS NEEDED
It is a literal Miracle that this gelding is still standing. We are on day two with him and he is eating voraciously. He is an owner surrender and from a surrounding reservation. We are thankful that they reached out for help!
So we have named this incredible gelding Sihasin. This word means Hope in Navajo.
Again, we do believe that this condition has been brought on by lack of dental care, but if there are any other medical conditions going on with him, we will find out when the vet arrives.
Currently, he is getting mash senior feed with bran twice per day. He has been de-wormed as well an
