Help Keep Outdoor Dogs Warm This Winter

| November 1, 2023

At NMDOG, we believe all Dogs belong inside as part of the Family. Sadly, this is not the reality for 1000s of Dogs across the state, and winter is a very difficult time for these pups. Just like people, Dogs are susceptible to frostbite and hypothermia, despite having fur coats. A doghouse is a great start, but a layer of straw insulation can make the difference between life and death.

This is the 11th year of the NMDOG FREE STRAW Program, a literal winter lifesaver for 1000s of cold outdoor Dogs across New Mexico. Do you have a doghouse in need of some straw or know someone who does? Use this resource and help a cold Dog survive the winter! #ItTakesAvillage and the Dogs depend on us!

Many of our partners now have FREE STRAW to hand out to those in need. This is a result of the collaborative effort of everyone that is participating and funds generously donated to these efforts. It is our hope to make lifesaving warmth available to as many outdoor Dogs (and other animals) as possible, across the state. Please SHARE this info and use the resources provided to secure straw for cold dogs in your neighborhood…you could easily save a life. Thank you.

We are always working to build our reach & partner with as many jurisdictions as possible, so…. if you are with a shelter or AC/LE Department that would like to participate, please send an email with contact info to [email protected].

We call in the order to your local feed store, you pick up and bag into individual servings, make it available for people to pick up and/or officers carry it with them in the field.

We all work together, and Dogs don’t freeze! It’s a beautiful thing. Get on board today!  #NoColdDogs

The price of a bale of straw has more than DOUBLED since winter 2021 ~ The need for support is greater than ever. Today… $13-$16 = 1 bale of straw = 3 doghouses insulated = 3 dogs that aren’t going to freeze to death.  #GetInvolved!

The #NMDOG Statewide FREE STRAW Program is only possible because of good humans who support this important work!

Please consider a tax-deductible contribution today to help us in our Winter Outreach goal of keeping Dogs alive.
