🌟 It’s Giving Tuesday! 🌟

Today is all about giving back — and there’s no better way to make an impact than helping the animals at Farmington Regional Animal Shelter.

Every day, we care for pets who arrive scared, sick, lost, or simply in need of a little extra love. Your support keeps them safe, warm, healthy, and one step closer to finding their forever families. ❤️🐾

💙 How You Can Help Today:
• Make a donation to support medical care, enrichment, food, and daily needs –
https://www.fmtn.org/772/Foundation
• Give from our Wish List — toys, treats, cleaning supplies, kitten formula, blankets, and more go a long way - https://a.co/9ufQKqA
• Share this post to spread the word!

No gift is too small — every act of kindness helps change a life.

Thank you for being the reason our animals have hope. 💛
