Grammy award-winning composer, singer, and songwriter Jimmy Webb brings his immensely popular repertoire of hits to the Lensic for an unforgettable evening of stories and song.

Best known for the instant classics he has written for artists such as Linda Ronstadt, Glen Campbell, Art Garfunkel, Joe Cocker, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, and the Fifth Dimension, his long string of hits is impressive.

He will perform many of his classics, including "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," "Wichita Lineman," "Galveston," "MacArthur Park," "Didn't We," "Up, Up and Away," "Worst That Could Happen," "All I Know," and "Easy for You to Say."

Tickets are available by calling the Lensic at 505-988-1234 or online at ticketssantafe.org.

The event is a joint benefit for the Santa Fe Animal Shelter and Kitchen Angels, and is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Santa Fe Del Sur.

SFAS&HS has accepted a major challenge issued by the ASPCA: save more lives this August, September and October than we did last year.

The Save More Lives contest is one in which only 46 shelters nationwide were selected to participate, and ours is the only one in New Mexico and one of only five in the entire Four Corners region. Not only do we have the chance to save more animals, but if we win, SFAS&HS will receive a grant of $100,000 - this would allow us to save even more lives year-round!

How can you help? By adopting! We'll be holding adoption specials, working closely with transfer partners, and using other innovative ways that will not only help us to win this contest, but to provide even more options for saving lives.

Come out to adopt today, and stay tuned for more information! Remember - with your help we can win! When it comes to working together to save lives, there are no losers!

Once a month, SFAS&HS takes to the airwaves on KSFR's Santa Fe Radio Cafe with Mary-Charlotte Domandi. We take on a variety of subjects of interest to animal lovers of every stripe. Check out earlier episodes here, or listen again!

Our famous Paws for a Cause 5K Walk & Run was held on Saturday, May 8th at Alto Park. We had a great time - keep an eye out for next year's 5th Annual Paws for a Cause!

Not every dog in our adoption kennels is perfect. In fact, like us humans, hardly any of them are. But, like us, they can get along pretty well if they have someone to love them and take care of them.

Some dogs, however, need someone to go that extra mile for them. At SFAS&HS, we don't give up on those dogs. To give them the time and special attention they need, we partner with our friends Joey and Hannah at Santa Fe Tails.

Without charging your shelter a dime, Joey and Hannah work with our "special needs" dogs to give them the training, help, and confidence they need to become part of a family. They have saved many lives, and work tirelessly to make our very improvable dogs ready to go home.

Not only do they provide these services for us, they offer a host of pet services to our Santa Fe Community. Want to find out more? Visit their website by clicking here. And take a moment to thank them for all they do for the animals of our community.
