Just the DOGS! or Just the CATS!

Show me all the Adoptable Animals




Our Featured Dog... Milky Way #9047, Australian Cattle Dog Mix


Hi there! Yes, I am really as cute in real life! Come down to Animal Humane New Mexico and let me steal your heart. I'm a naturally playful, curious, and trusting canine. I have never met a stranger. Please stop by and visit me at the shelter -- I can go home with you today!


Our Featured Cat -- Casedy #11093, Calico Domestic Short Hair


Hi my name is Casedy. I am 13 years young and waiting for a second chance. I came to Animal Humane because my owner was moving and could not take me with them. I am a little shy at first, but once I warm up and I am an absolute love. If you're looking for a loving cat please come see me today; I could be your new best friend!

Foster Care

Animal Humane | New Mexico is always in need of short term foster care providers for kittens or puppies, as well as for some dogs or cats that need additional socialization or are recovering from injury or illness. If you are interested in short term foster care, please contact Boni Galarneau, Foster Care Coordinator at 505-991-0056 or email bonig@animalhumanenm.org. To learn more about our foster program, and download a foster application go to: Foster Program and Application

The Foster Program always has a need for powdered KMR kitten formula and Esbilac powdered puppy formula, used for kittens and puppies that have not yet been weaned. Contact the foster coordinator for more information on how you make a big difference for these tiny babies! We also need Friskies loaf type canned cat food, as well as puppy wee wee pads to use on the floor. Donations are accepted seven (7) days a week. Check out our main website at www.animalhumanenm.org for a list of additional donated needs or call Boni, the foster coordinator for more information about specific items needed to keep the foster program going. The foster program will be working strictly on donated items, so it is essential that supplies be available in order for us to help the most pups and kittens.

Volunteering with Animal Humane | New Mexico

Who We Are

The mission of Animal Humane | New Mexico, is to improve the lives of companion animals through sheltering, adoption, community education and programs that reduce pet overpopulation.

Animal Humane | New Mexico is a (501)(c)3 non-profit organization serving New Mexico since 1965. We survive solely from private donations.

Adopting a friend

Prospective adopters must complete an adoption application at our facility, and it is then reviewed by one of our adoption counselors.

You may then visit the kennels to find that special dog, puppy, cat or kitten that interests you. Get acquainted areas are available for you to meet your prospective new family member. If you have other pets please bring them along so that they'll have a chance to meet a prospective animal companion.

Adoption paperwork must then be completed and adoption fee paid. Your new pet will be scheduled for spay or neuter at the next available appointment after which you may take him/her home.

Detailed adoption procedures can be viewed at our home page, Adoption Steps
