Adopting from Animal Humane
Thank you for choosing to adopt a homeless pet! Every year, thousands of dogs and cats in New Mexico need loving new homes. Your decision to adopt a homeless pet will save the life of your new companion, as well as the life of the pet we are able to care for next.
At Animal Humane, our experienced Adoptions Advisors will help you find the perfect pet for your family. Because we spend time evaluating and getting to know every pet through ASPCA®’s Meet Your Match program, we can introduce you to the right dogs or cats that will be the best fit for you and your family.

Other Ways to Adopt
Animal Humane continues to be an innovator in finding new ways to introduce adoptable pets to potential adopters. Through programs like Cats Around Town and Working Cats, we are helping to save more lives every day.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to adopt a pet?
Please allow plenty of time to find your perfect pet. Once you have selected a pet, the adoption process will take at least 30 minutes. You may experience a short wait to meet with one of our Adoptions Advisors. We do not begin the adoption process after 5:30 pm.
What should I bring with me when adopting a pet?
Please bring a valid form of identification when planning to adopt a pet. Please note: We perform background checks on every potential adopter, and will not adopt pets to any person convicted of a violent crime or animal abuse.
