Hear from Our Team

I’ve been working at Animal Humane for around 5 years and every day is something new and different.  I’ve worked with so many special and irreplaceable people and pets and I’ve learned many invaluable skills that have helped me improve the lives of the people of ABQ and their pets.

Working here has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life so far, It’s giveb me the opportunities to help people in actual, dire need; from medical and food assistance to offering aid and comfort to pet owners having to face some of the toughest decisions they’ve had to make, and helping guide people to a new beloved family member to complete their home.

Working with pets can be tough…and messy. It can be tiring mentally & physically, but it’s also SO rewarding. I truly believe this job is my calling.

I am honored to work at The Center at Animal Humane. Our team is efficient, fun, compassionate, and organized. Working here has brought tremendous career growth and overall animal handling experience that I am very grateful for. The experience that I received while working at this wonderful organization will resonate with me my entire life.

I love working for a team that cares about a common goal, and that goal is making animals happy. I will do anything in my power to ensure that every single pet in my care goes to sleep peacefully and wakes up with their tail wagging!
