One of the people I met over in Puerto Palomas on a sunny afternoon, on the patio of the Pink Store, while I drank a beer, was Pat. Originally from the UK, then a long-time NYC resident, she is one of the transplants who was inexplicably drawn to make her life in Columbus, New Mexico.
She rescues dogs and cats; she invited me to come by her house later, which I did.

I met Pat's dogs, both those she has claimed as her own and those for whom she seeks homes.

Pat has a good relationship with the Deming Animal Guardians. DAG's primary mission is to spay and neuter. It also provides emergency pet food. DAG's portable spay/neuter operation visited Columbus six times in 2012 and will go at least four times in 2013.

Although her financial resources are limited, Pat doesn't seek monetary donations. She does, however, welcome pet food and pet paraphernalia, such as collars and leashes. If you'd like to help her out, the best bet is to contact DAG and mention Pat in Columbus - DAG will make sure she receives whatever help you're offering.

As the owner of two rescue dogs, I'm impressed by Pat's devotion.
