Adoptions/Reclaims
There are plenty of dogs and cats ready for a new home with a loving owner. The various animals available for adoption may be viewed in the kennel area each day beginning at 10 a.m. until the shelter closes for the day. You can view the adoptable animals on the
Animal Services Facebook page. A list can also be found
here. For additional adoption information and any other questions, call the kennel manager at 575-624-6722.
- Adoptions cost $1 for any animal in the facility.
- Those adopting an animal 6 months of age or older must have the animal spayed or neutered and pay for a rabies vaccination and a microchip. We will require an invoice from the new owner's vet stating the services have been paid and an appointment set. (Please note, the animal designation of "registered" only applies to reclaims, not adoptions.)
- Approved animal rescue organizations can "pull" an animal on the fifth day after the animal arrives at the shelter.
- For pet owners, the fee to reclaim an animal is $40 (an additional $20 per occurrence) and the owner is required to have the animal spayed or neutered (unless it is AKC or UKC registered) and provide a rabies vaccination and microchip.
