Xanadu, Inc.
A Non Profit 501(c)(3) Organization
Xanadu, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit charitable organization, incorporated in the State of New Mexico. We received our tax exempt status determination letter dated August 3, 2008.
The mission of Xanadu, Inc. is to provide and maintain a safe haven, shelter and socialization for unwanted canine animals, on a 12.5 acre piece of land in Northern New Mexico. Part of the Xanadu philosophy is not only to help the animals, but also to provide healing opportunities for humans through contact and work with the animals.
Currently, there are 15 dogs that are being sheltered at Kurukulla. The care and shelter of the animals is maintained on a daily basis, by animal care helpers. Much of the work is voluntary, and volunteer donations of time, cash or in-kind goods and services are always welcome.
The shelter is located off of Hwy 14, about 22 miles from downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico. The physical address is 26 Southfork Extension. For directions from Santa Fe City limits to Southfork extension, click this link.
Xanadu seeks to raise funds and solicit charitable contributions to help pay for operational costs of maintaining and expanding Kurukulla. Contributions sought include cash donations and donations of in-kind goods and services, food, outdoor supplies and equipment, and volunteer help.
