The Animal Support Center, TASC, of Las Vegas, NM has been working to combat the problem of homeless and suffering pets in the Las Vegas, New Mexico area since 1994. Our programs include a sanctuary for homeless dogs and cats and Waggin' Tails Mercantile, our thrift store.
The goal of The Animal Support Center has always been to accept and care for any homeless dog or cat that comes to us without using euthanasia as a means of population control. We find homes for the pets that come to us through adoptions and also through transfers to other shelters. Homeless dogs and cats that are not adoptable for health or behavioral reasons become permanent residents of our sanctuary. We have many wonderful puppies, dogs, kittens and cats available for adoption.
We are currently sheltering over 100 dogs and cats at the TASC facility and in foster homes. Only a few of our wonderful animals are listed on the Petfinder site. Please come by our shelter to see the many more beautiful, lovable pets we have who are ready for you to take them home.
TASC is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization funded primarily by the proceeds of our programs and by donations, and supported largely by the work of dedicated volunteers.

Our adoption fees are:
Dogs - $100.00
Cats - $65.00
Adoption fees include spay/neuter surgery and 2 parvo/distemper vaccinations for puppies or 2 FRCVP vaccinations for kittens. Rabies vaccination is also included for animals of sufficient age.
Adoption Requirements: We believe in placing our animals into loving homes where there is a commitment and the means to care for the new pet. It is also important that there be a good fit between the animal and the owner's lifestyle. Our goal is to have the best quality of life for the people and the pets in the family.
TASC is happy to consider out-of-state adoption applications. We will do everything we can to facilitate qualified adoptions. However, adopters are ultimately responsible for all transportation arrangements and costs.
