Mission Statement
The mission of the Animal Humane New Mexico is to improve the lives of companion animals through sheltering, adoption, community education, providing quality low-cost veterinary services to families in need, and programs that reduce pet overpopulation.
Impact Summary from the Nonprofit
<div>Communities across the country have struggled with the issue of pet homelessness for decades. Sadly, New Mexico has one of the worst pet overpopulation problems in the country. But with the dedication of shelter professionals and through the generosity of many donors, the euthanasia rate in our State is beginning to go down.<p> </p></div><div>Animal Humane New Mexico’s mission is to improve the lives of New Mexico’s companion animals through sheltering, adoption, community education, providing quality veterinary services to families in need, and programs that reduce pet overpopulation. Through our 20 pet adoption and retention programs Animal Humane has saved thousands of animals that otherwise would have remained as strays or been euthanized. At Animal Humane, euthanasia has dropped by 65% since 2006. Since January 2010, Animal Humane has successfully adopted 100% of the healthy pets in our care. We continue to invest in facilities and programs to achieve a time when all adoptable animals can find loving new homes and only the critically ill or unsafe animals are euthanized.In 2012, we initiated Project Humane, a $5.0 million dollar campus-wide renovation. The goal quite simply is to save more lives by improving the housing for every pet on campus, creating quarantine facilities so we may treat and save more animals and improving the adoption and education facilities to better serve the public. We broke ground in October and plan to complete the project by March 2014.</div>

Leadership Statement:
<div>Animal Humane is the most progressive animal shelter in New Mexico.

All adoptable pets are spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and have had multiple veterinary exams prior to adoption. While waiting for adoption, all dogs and cats receive care, affection and enrichment from their dedicated staff and 425 devoted volunteers.</div><div><br /></div><div>Animal Humane also provides over 20 programs to serve our State’s pet owners from pet training and humane education classes to a free pet food bank Animal Humane’s Donor-subsidized Veterinary Clinic was founded to solve the problem of low-income pet owners being forced to euthanize or relinquish their pets due to the high cost of quality veterinary care. Thanks to contributions from private donors, Animal Humane provides quality care to pet owners who cannot afford medical fees from private veterinarian practices. Our full-service, low-cost Veterinary Clinic conducts, on average, 5,000 inpatient emergency/critical care cases and outpatient appointments annually and spays/neuters over 8,500 pets annually.</div>
