Honoring Susan’s Life and Contributions

Honoring Susan’s Life and Contributions
May 13, 1950 -January 2, 2023
All of us with Chama Humane were greatly saddened to learn of Susan’s passing on January 2, 2023. It was not unexpected—Susan had been living with cancer going on three years—but it is heart-wrenching for those of us who knew and loved her.
In her quiet, unassuming way, Susan touched the lives of many in our community. For many years, she worked as a substitute teacher at various schools and was often requested by teachers who knew she would keep students on track and not merely babysit them. She was a valued volunteer at Chama’s Eleanor Daggett library and has been a staunch supporter of Chama Humane for many years, serving on the board, taking on routine volunteer tasks, and helping at fundraisers. She was greatly appreciated for her straightforward honesty, incisive intellect and ability to cut to the chase, and kindness and willingness to help.
Susan is survived by her husband, Jack Langston, of Chama, NM, sister, Cindy Wilson of Alexandria, VA, and brother, David Schaler, of Panama City Beach, FL. Jack will continue to care for their muchloved mini-Aussie, Comet, and their personable tabby cat, Tigger.

Foster a puppy, dog, kitten, or cat!
Truthfully, we are at a tipping point of being unable to rescue many animals anymore unless we can recruit some new foster homes.
We know fostering is hard—we often do it ourselves! Many people say they would be unable to let a kitten or puppy (or dog or cat) go after keeping it a week or more. We think it is a mindset to some degree—you cannot help more if you keep all your fosters. Some of us have fostered literally hundreds—maybe thousands—of animals over the years (and maybe kept a few along the way…).
The best thing about fostering is knowing you have helped save the life of an unwanted animal and enabled them to live a full and happy life. As needed, we will supply food, supplies, and vet care. We often post animals in need on our Facebook page, but you are also encouraged to fill out a Foster Application on our web site if you are interested. You can also call us at 888-666-0641 and leave a message if you want to find out more.
