Project Fetch

Project Fetch

Launched in 2009, Project Fetch is an integral program that demonstrates our shelter’s commitment to serving homeless pets throughout New Mexico. Conceived as a means of saving more lives, as well as sharing knowledge and resources with our animal rescue partners throughout New Mexico.

From 2009-2023, over 20,000 pets have made the life-saving journey from around the state including Aztec, Chama, Espanola, Gallup, Las Cruces, Las Vegas, Roswell, Taos, Torrance County and Tucumcari. We also routinely partner with municipal shelters in Albuquerque, Corrales, Los Ranchos & Rio Rancho.

Project Fetch partners with shelters to bring in pets who are residing in overcrowded and underfunded shelters, shelters that are facing a lack of dedicated resources, a national shortage of veterinarians, and overpopulation due to a lack of spay/neuter ordinances.

Through Project Fetch, these homeless pets are given a second chance, finding love and safety at Animal Humane. Due to rural populations, transferred pets may have been at their original shelter for over a year, they may have been part of an emergency request to assist with a hoarding case, or, in 2022, they may have been part of the fires that raged across our state.

In our 2021 Fiscal Year, the Project Fetch Program transferred in a total of 1,670 cats and dogs — from 34 partner organizations, with our two largest partners being the City of Albuquerque Animal Welfare Department and the Bernalillo County Animal Care and Resource Center.
