Saving homeless pets in New Mexico
Every day, homeless dogs and cats are being killed in animal shelters in New Mexico simply because they don’t have a place to call home. But you can help change that.
With your help, we can end the unnecessary killing in animal shelters throughout New Mexico and make the state a safe place for all cats and dogs to call home.
Adopt a pet and bring love home
When you adopt a dog or cat who’s been patiently waiting for a place to call home, you’re not only saving a life. You’re also making space in shelters for other homeless pets.

Use your voice to stand up for homeless pets in New Mexico so that every pet can safely find their way out of shelters.
The goal of ending killing in shelters is called no-kill
