About

Animal Humane New Mexico is an Albuquerque-based nonprofit dedicated to the welfare of dogs and cats, providing adoption, veterinary, and other services to animals and the community. With a long history of serving the Albuquerque area, the organization works to find homes for homeless pets, reduce pet overpopulation, and support the bond between people and animals.

The organization operates an adoption program that places homeless dogs and cats into loving homes, taking in animals and providing them with care until they can be adopted. As a limited-admission organization focused on adoption and welfare, it works to give animals the time and support they need to find permanent homes.

Animal Humane New Mexico also operates veterinary services, including spay and neuter programs and clinics that provide affordable care to the public. Spaying and neutering are essential to reducing pet overpopulation, and the organization's efforts in this area help address the root causes of animal homelessness. Affordable veterinary care helps keep pets healthy and in their homes.

Beyond adoption and veterinary care, the organization engages in community programs, education, and support designed to promote responsible pet ownership and animal welfare. It works to keep pets and their families together and to provide resources that help people care for their animals.

The organization relies on adoptions, donations, veterinary service revenue, retail operations, and volunteers to sustain its work. Its programs reflect a comprehensive approach to animal welfare that addresses adoption, healthcare, population control, and community support.

Serving the Albuquerque metropolitan area, Animal Humane New Mexico has helped countless dogs and cats find homes and has provided essential services to pets and their owners. Through adoption, veterinary care, spay and neuter programs, and community engagement, the organization works to improve the lives of animals and to strengthen the relationships between people and their pets across central New Mexico.
