About this shelter

Animal Humane New Mexico in Albuquerque, NM

Animal Humane New Mexico is a humane society located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, about 6 miles west of the city. Founded in 1965, it is the state's leading private 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal welfare organization, serving more than 10,000 homeless and at-risk dogs and cats each year through sheltering, adoptions, humane education, and veterinary services. The organization never euthanizes based on age or length of stay, and since 2010 it has re-homed 100% of the healthy pets in its care. It is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
