The county's shelter has been undergoing cleanup and repairs after the discovery of black mold last year. Some of the dogs being housed there had to be moved. Thanks to EXPO New Mexico, they have temporary shelter. 'We really appreciate that Expo New Mexico has given us this space. And we're trying to be very respectful of the things that they still have to do here and ensure that our animals are contained properly and all of that,' said Goodman.
Tucked away in its livestock pavilion, EXPO New Mexico has been housing up to 25 dogs, all of which are still available for adoption. 'Right now we have 13. It fluctuates. The most we've had here I think is 25, so it has fluctuated a little bit depending on our population at the facility itself and how much space we actually need,' said Goodman.
The dogs are rotated with the ones at the shelter and are all listed on the shelter's website. While visitors are not allowed at the Expo location, if you want to meet one of the dogs there, the county can arrange a day to meet the pups. 'We give some time here, some time at the other facility, but we're always available to have people meet and greet, but not here at the fairgrounds.'
As for when the shelter is planning on bringing all of its canines back to its facility, it could take some time. 'A lot of it will depend on bidding and contracts and the availability of contractors and materials and those kinds of things. So we suspect anywhere from eight months to 15 months.'
The county says they are also asking for $1 million in capital outlay funding to help expand their building to keep up with their growing number of animals.

Ticonderoga erasers shaped like classic yellow pencils offering a somewhat confusing notetaking experience. Unlike *some* novelty erasers, these actually get the job done, sans smudges. Or some animal-themed erasers with caps to keep them safe in between mistakes (whether they be homework or Sudoku related). You can get a big pack of 8 or 12, so feel free to share with friends and classmates! A sheet of stickers featuring little checkbox droplets to help students keep track of their water intake.

A sweet pair of scissors housed in a fruit-shaped magnet holder your child can proudly display in their locker — it'll also make it easy to actually find those darn things when they need them. Might as well also grab a pair for yourself because they'd look soooo cute on your fridge. A weekly sticky notepad so you or your organized child can plan out the whole week and then stick it somewhere visible for easy reference.
