New Mexico Animal Friends (NMAF) in Albuquerque, NM
New Mexico Animal Friends (NMAF) is an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue organization located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in Bernalillo County, where 25 other animal shelters and rescues also operate. NMAF saves homeless dogs and cats and places them into loving homes through a network of foster homes rather than a physical shelter facility, holding regular dog and cat adoption clinics at local PetSmart and Petco stores. The organization is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit, and it emphasizes the quality of its adoptions rather than the number of animals placed. Situated about 3 miles northeast of Albuquerque, NMAF relies on volunteers and fosters to care for animals until they find their forever homes.
