Animal Shelters in New Mexico
New Mexico has 217 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, spread across 31 counties. The largest group are animal shelters. Albuquerque has more than any other New Mexico city, followed by Santa Fe and Los Lunas. Somewhere on this list is a New Mexico dog or cat who would much rather be at your place.
New Mexico has 217 listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first. Open any of them for the full address, contact details and opening hours.
A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.
Albuquerque has more than anywhere else in New Mexico, followed by Santa Fe, Los Lunas and Clovis. They are the usual place to start if you are willing to travel; the sidebar links straight through to each.
Bernalillo, Santa Fe and Valencia counties have the most, though listings reach 31 of New Mexico's counties in total. The city links in the sidebar are usually the quicker way in.
Most listings here carry a phone number, and some link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
