'Jewels of the Heart ' Auction: A Chance to Look Great, and Change Lives!

Imagine a world where every pet who is born is wanted, loved, and safe—a world where no dog or cat is abandoned, hungry, or left to struggle because there are simply too many. That’s the world we’re working to create at Animal Village NM.

Our Spay It Forward Auction is more than just an opportunity to bid on incredible items. It’s a chance to transform lives—to give pets in need the future they deserve and to support local families who want to do the right thing but can’t afford the high cost of spay and neuter surgeries. AND THE FIRST 10 WINNING BIDDERS WILL WIN A GIFT CERTIFICATE TO A LOCAL BUSINESS, RESTAURANTS, DAY SPA, COFFEE SHOPS...THEY'RE ALL ANIMAL LOVERS AND WE WANT TO SAY 'THANK YOU' FOR YOUR EARLY SUPPORT AND LOVE FOR LOCAL ANIMALS IN NEED!

🐾 Your Bid = A Brighter Future for Pets

New Mexico has the highest pet abandonment rate in the nation. Each year, thousands of dogs and cats are left behind, struggling to survive because there simply aren’t enough homes for them all. But this heartbreaking cycle can be prevented—and with your help, we can make a lasting impact. Every winning bid placed in this auction goes directly toward funding low-cost spay and neuter surgeries for pets of low-income families. These surgeries mean:

✅ No more unwanted litters facing an uncertain fate.

✅ Fewer stray animals struggling on the streets.

✅ Healthier, happier pets who get to stay in loving homes.

✅ Less burden on shelters and rescues, so resources can go where they’re needed most.

🎨 Incredible Items, Generous Hearts

This year’s auction features DOZENS of pieces and sets of stunning Native American jewelry, including turquoise, amethyst, tiger eye, carnelian, and more—each with unique beauty and meaning. We’re even sharing the special qualities these stones are believed to support in those who wear them!

But that’s just the beginning…

🌳 Turned wood bowls (one with inlaid turquoise) – Handcrafted beauty for your home, created by Steve Mabry of La Luz, NM.

🐕 Jade Foo Dogs with a puppy – A symbol of protection and loyalty.
