Interested in Fostering?
We are incredibly grateful for our community’s outpouring of support and the unprecedented number of Foster Caregiver applications that have come in since New Mexico’s first case of COVID-19 appeared. At this time, most of our pets have already been welcomed with open arms by new & existing Foster Caregivers. The small population remaining on our Main Campus is being cared for daily by dedicated members of our Team. While still welcome your Foster Care application, please consider contacting one of our partner shelters about fostering a pet in need. When we work in community, we can save more lives.

- Post a lost or found pet report on neighborhood apps, including Pawboost & Nextdoor
- Search & post on social media, many cities have Lost & Found pet groups whose members work hard to reunite pets & people
- Use Pawboost to create a free flyer & post in the area you found the pet or in the area your pet was last seen
- Post on Animal Humane’s Lost & Found website: https://animalhumanenm.org/adopt/lost-found/
