Our Featured Pet...

Hi, my name is Jacque. I was saved by a teacher who works at Navajo Pine High School in Navajo, NM. Well actually, I saw an opportunity. She was feeding another dog at the local people market when I decided I better get over there to get my share. I was in pretty bad shape, in fact, I don't even know how I made it across the parking lot, but if there's a will there's a way. I hadn't had a decent meal in a long time, my right back leg was dragging and my face was all beat up, but cheap dog food smells pretty good when you're starving. There I was half dead chomping down on what I thought was my last meal,when all of a sudden, this woman opens up the back of one of those moving people contraptions and hauls me up and in. Well, the rest is history. Through Blackhat I got the medical care I needed. My right leg was too far gone to save, but with an operation I am a very fast tri-legged dog. As you can see from my glamor shots, I'm quite the dude. My qualifications for your forever friend are: I love attention, food, sitting on the couch next to a human, playing with people or other dogs, and enjoying life. I'm neutered and up to date on all my shots. If you're interested in adoption contact Deborah Hundley 505 777 2126-H or 505 593 3300-C Thanks for your time.

Who We Are

Blackhat Humane Society is a non-profit organization established in 2000. We are dedicated to rescuing and finding homes for abandoned animals and livestock. We are the only Humane Society on the Navajo Reservation (an area roughly the size of West Virginia). We have a tremendous problem with pet overpopulation. Cats and dogs are allowed to breed freely and survive on "what they can catch". Puppies and kittens are routinely dumped at local gas stations and grocery stores. Parvo, distemper, mange and untreated injuries are the cause of death for most companion animals. It is rare to see a dog or cat over 2 years of age. Once the backbone of the Navajo economy, horses, sheep and cattle now roam the open range, foraging for food. Our goals include; education for all ages but concentrating on school-age children and a mobile clinic. We also need volunteers to help produce videos (in English and Navajo) which will be shown in the local chapterhouses and in our schools. We are in need of volunteers and donations. Blankets, food, dog houses and crates, vet supplies and medications are helpful to our cause. If you are interested in visiting us as a volunteer, accomodations are available.
