Viva! NM Rural Animal Rescue

Albuquerque, NM

Our Mission

We are a small but growing group of individuals who see a need in the rural communities for our state. These communities often have small, under funded shelters that are overlooked by the bigger rescues. We help these shelters by pulling dogs from their kennels to our foster homes for adoption, helping market their adoptable dogs, and helping them make connections with other rescues.

Adoption Policy

Our adoption process includes an adoption application, meet & greet, and home visit. The goal with each adoption is find the perfect fit- for the humans and furkid alike!


Our adoption fee is $200.  Our adoption fee includes spay/neuter, all current vaccinations, microchip, and testing for tick borne diseases like heartworm. We provide all medical care needed, up until the animals in our care get adopted.
