Pat Danser Nesselroad

I received an A.S. degree from Peirce College in Philadelphia 1968. I relocated to New Mexico in 1975.
I moved to 40 acres with my husband and entered a new world of Mexican food, tumbleweeds, dust storms, ghost towns, rockhounding, the very much alive desert, rattlesnakes and roadrunners. Moving from south Jersey to tiny Lordsburg and then to Deming, NM, was like moving to another planet. After 40 years I am still full of "East Coast Astonishment"!
I graduated from Western New Mexico University in 1978 and was employed as a social worker for the State of New Mexico. I have been a lifelong animal activist and my current organization, Deming Animal Guardians, has sponsored the spay/neuter of 11,000 local dogs and cats.
I have a fabulous cathouse of rescued felines.
