The Story Of D.A.G.S.H.I.P Rescue
Through the years, they had successfully produced a high quality grooming and boarding facility for animals of all types and breeds. They have received lifetime achievement awards for rescuing over 2,000 animals between 2011 and 2016!
Mike and Lisa became lifetime members of Deming Animal Guardians in 2014 and Mike began work with the DAG Board of Directors.
Out of their passion for rescuing, they wanted to save even more animals than one foster space would allow, that dream became DAGSHIP Rescue.
DAGSHIP, Deming Animal Guardians Sunshine Haven Intake Project, began construction and became a reality in 2017. Since then Mike and Lisa have worked tirelessly to successfully create a state of the art animal rescue facility. The facility is designed with indoor & outdoor kennels with a holding capacity of 12-14 dogs.
Completed in 2019, a new cat sanctuary and quarantine building has the capacity to hold 25 cats. The sanctuary features a fun social area and large outside play area for our furry, ball chasing friends.
We may be small on the outside but are doing big things on the inside! DAGSHIP Rescue and Columbus Animal Rescue, with Deming Animal Guardian's help, took in over 2,000 dogs and cats since opening in 2017..
With the continued help and support of our community, our volunteers and our Director Chrystal Kerbo, DAGSHIP Rescue will continue to save thousands of lives at this loving and compassionate rescue.
About Deming Animal Guardians
Deming Animal Guardians (DAG) is an all volunteer, IRS recognized charity that has been in existence since 1991. Since we began, we've sponsored more than 14,500 spay/neuter surgeries. Our focus is indigent pet owners in Luna County, New Mexico. Our goal is to improve the lives of these animals by making spay/neuter surgeries more affordable through discount coupons and mobile veterinary vans. Since Luna County has a high population of indigent pet owners, we target low-income pet owners only. Our goal is to reduce the number of euthanasia at the local shelter by making responsible pet ownership a reality for low income pet owners and now we are thrilled to join forces with Sunshine Grooming to create the new and kind, no-kill rescue:
