ADOPTION DETAILS & FEES
You’ll add a loving member to your family and enrich your quality of life as well as your new pets life. We are the largest no-kill shelter in New Mexico and we have plenty of cats purebred dogs, mixed-breeds, big dogs and little dogs -- you’re sure to find a great companion.
And when you adopt from us, you’ll give a dog or cat a second chance at finding a home and you will not add to the nation’s pet overpopulation problem. The reality is that an estimated 3.7 million unwanted pets must be euthanized at animal shelters every year -- many because they could not find families to adopt them. We are trying to reduce that number as much as we can by taking in dogs and cats that would otherwise be euthanized at other shelters and care for them until we find them a furever home! Come see us today to adopt your new family member.
