Animal Humane can partner with your business in several ways, with a goal of providing visibility to your business and revenue, pet adoptions or exposure for Animal Humane New Mexico. We strive for mutually beneficial relationships that are philanthropic, but also provide recognition to our partners through our promotional outlets. Benefit Events: In this type of partnership, your business selects a specified time frame (a day, a week, a month, etc.), a specific event or a promotion you are hosting, and directs a portion of proceeds and/or sales to Animal Humane. Event Sponsorships: Each year, Animal Humane hosts highly publicized and well-attended events, like our Doggie Dash & Dawdle, New Mexico Humane Conference and Feline Film Festival. Each of these events includes significant reach to our constituents through advertising and other forms of recognition. Mobile Adoption Events: Our Mobile Adoptions Team regularly visits businesses in the Albuquerque metro area. For adoption events, “Moby,” our large mobile adoptions vehicle, will visit your business or event location equipped with everything needed to facilitate dog or cat adoptions on your site. These events can be combined with Benefit Events for a highly successful partnership. Doggie Date Events: On Doggie Dates, 2 – 4 adoptable dogs will visit your business, and provide information on our programs, services and events. These pets will be accompanied by members of our Adoptions Team and/or volunteers. Outreach Events: During these events, representatives from Animal Humane will visit your location and set up an informational booth for visitors. We provide our own table, chairs and tent (if needed). During your event, members of the public visit our booth to speak with our representatives and learn more about the programs and services we provide. Outreach events can include the attendance of some of our adoptable dogs on Doggie Dates, but adoptions are not able to be completed at these events. Custom Partnerships: We are always looking for creative new ways to work together! These might include in-kind relationships; perhaps your company can incorporate Animal Humane into your extensive advertising or sponsors a television or radio segment. Perhaps you might be able to co-brand an item to give to our 4,000+ adopters each year. Or, perhaps your company can help us supply food to our Pet Food Bank clients, or is interested in a naming opportunity. For more information, please contact Christina Thies, Marketing Director.

Behind the scenes of an animal shelter are many people working on behalf of homeless pets that are not quite ready to be adopted into their forever homes. These pets have varying needs. Often they are weaning from their mother, too young for spay/neuter or require special medical attention. Animal Humane’s team at our Donor-subsidized Veterinary Clinic work diligently to prepare these pets for success before, during and after their stays in loving foster homes. Our dedicated team of Foster Care Volunteers assists our pets by gifting their time and compassion. By inviting foster pets into their lives, homeless cats and dogs experience the love of a human companion and return to our shelter as happy, healthy, and socialized pets…ready for adoption! In addition to being incredibly beneficial to the pets, the experience of fostering has limitless rewards for volunteers. To understand the joy and fulfillment of seeing a puppy or kitten you’ve nurtured reach their full potential, is to understand the truly rewarding experience of being a Foster Care Volunteer for Animal Humane.. Through foster care, you will: Observe the development of playful kittens and puppies with your family. Help your children learn the important responsibilities of pet ownership. Nurse sick or injured pets back to health so they can live full and happy lives. Experience the joy of bottle-feeding puppies and kittens. Provide nourishment and enrichment to puppies and kittens through the first few developmental months of their lives.
