❤️🐾 D-SNiP IS PROUD TO BE PART OF SPAYING4CHANGE 2026! 🐾❤️
This November, animal welfare organizations across Mexico, Southern California and beyond are coming together with one ambitious goal:
🎯 5,000 cats & dogs sterilized in just 9 days!
📅 November 7–15, 2026
Spaying4Change brings organizations together to turn individual spay/neuter efforts into one powerful collective impact. Each organization operates its own clinic, with its own veterinary team, staff, volunteers and budget. At the end of the campaign, the numbers are combined—and every single surgery counts!
Just look at how this campaign has grown:
🐾 2023: 1,472 animals
🐾 2024: 2,319 animals
🐾 2025: 3,119 animals
❤️ 2026 GOAL: 5,000 ANIMALS!
D-SNiP will be contributing our spay/neuter surgeries performed during the campaign to that total. What we do here in the Four Corners will become part of something much bigger!
Different organizations. Different communities. One shared goal.
❤️ 5,000 animals. 9 days. Thousands of unwanted litters prevented.
We’re excited to be part of Spaying4Change and can’t wait to see what we can accomplish together!

🎃🐾 Happy & Safe Halloween from all of us at D-SNiP! 🐾🎃

Meet our festive little pack dressed up and ready for all the trick-or-treating fun! 🎃🐝🧙‍♂️👻

While you’re enjoying the spooky festivities, please remember to keep your furry family members safe:
✨ Keep chocolate and treats out of paw’s reach.
✨ Ensure costumes are comfortable and don't restrict movement or breathing.
✨ Keep pets indoors or secured in a safe room away from noisy trick-or-treaters.

And remember: the best treat you can give your pets for a long, healthy life is having them spayed or neutered! ❤️

Have a spooktacular and safe Halloween, everyone! 🧡🐾

The Dave & Cheryl Duffield Foundation, through its Big Bet for Pets initiative, is investing $250 million over five years to expand access to veterinary care for family pets. The initiative supports nonprofit veterinary programs, expands services in rural communities, and helps break down barriers to care.

We’re incredibly grateful to be a recipient of the Boost Grant! This support will help D-SNiP reach more pets and provide more families with access to the veterinary care their beloved companions need. 💙🐾

Thank you, Duffield Foundation, for helping make a difference in the lives of pets and the people who love them!

🕯️🐾 Día de los Mu***os — Honoring Our Beloved Pets 🐾🕯️
Today, October 27th, we celebrate Día de los Mu***os for pets — a beautiful tradition inspired by Mexico’s Day of the Dead. It’s said that on this day, the souls of our beloved animal companions cross the Rainbow Bridge to visit their homes once more. 🌈💞
Our D-SNiP dogs have dressed up in their Día de los Mu***os best to honor all those who have gone before — the loyal friends, gentle souls, and furry family members who left pawprints on our hearts forever. 🐶💐
Many families create an ofrenda, or altar, to welcome their pets’ spirits back. These may include:
📸 A photo of the pet
💧 A bowl of water for their journey
🍖 Their favorite food or treats
🎾 A cherished toy or leash
🕯️ Candles to light their way home
Today, we remember them with love, gratitude, and joy for the time we shared. ❤️

We’ve wrapped up our final clinic collaboration of the year with Humane Colorado, and what a great way to close out the season! 🐶🐱✨

A huge thank-you to the wonderful team at Humane Colorado for another successful collaboration, to everyone who brought their pets in, and to all the amazing people who make these clinics possible.
Together, we’re making a difference — one pet, one family, and one community at a time. 💙
We’re grateful for the partnerships that help us reach more pets and families, and we’re already looking forward to what’s ahead. This may be our last collaboration of the year, but the work continues!
Until next time, Alamosa! 🐾

🐾💙 Day 1 in Alamosa with Humane Colorado! 💙🐾

Mother Nature gave us plenty of soggy conditions today, but that didn’t stop folks from showing up with their pets! 🌧️🐶🐱

We had a fantastic team, some seriously cute dogs and cats, and another great day of people helping people help their pets. 💙

A huge thank-you to the pet families who braved the wet weather and to our amazing partners at Humane Colorado for making it all happen!

Let’s see what tomorrow brings! 🌦️🐾
