Animal Humane New Mexico’s Donor-subsidized Clinic Services
Animal Humane’s Donor-subsidized Veterinary Clinic is committed to providing affordable, preventative care for needs-based, qualified clients. While our prices are reduced compared to industry standards, this is not a free clinic—fees apply for all services, and payment is due at the time of service. Clients must meet specific criteria to qualify for veterinary services.
Veterinary Clinic Guidelines
Clinic Hours
Our Veterinary Clinic is open Monday–Thursday. Requests made outside of business hours will be addressed on the next business day, based on urgency.
Pre-Surgical Bloodwork
Required for pets over 5 years old, or at the doctor’s discretion. An exam will be performed prior to surgery, and if your pet is over 5 (regardless of listed age), we will notify you and bloodwork may be required to proceed for safety.
Rabies Vaccine Requirement
All pets must have a current rabies vaccine to be seen at our clinic. If no proof of a current rabies vaccine is available, we will administer one during the appointment.
Other Services
Please note that AHNM’s Veterinary Clinic is open Monday-Thursday. Requests received outside of business hours are responded to based on urgency on the next business day.
AHNM’s Donor-Subsidized Clinic sees patients by appointment only on a limited basis. We are not an emergency clinic. Please submit your request and we will contact you as soon as possible.

Telemedicine for Pets
Telemedicine is a new & growing field that has expanded into the realm of veterinary care. The scope of these programs is often limited and they are not a replacement for regular, in-person veterinary care. However, these services may be able to assist you with non-urgent concerns.
Animal Humane New Mexico does not partner directly with any veterinary telemedicine provider, and this list should not be considered an endorsement of any service. If in doubt, please visit one of the local emergency veterinary clinics listed in the Emergency Care section.
For more information about veterinary telemedicine, please visit the American Veterinary Medical Association.
Are you considering surrendering your pet for medical reasons?
Our Safety Net program is currently at capacity and is not accepting new requests. Please see the list of emergency resources clinics on our veterinary page if your pet is in a life-threatening situation.
Making end-of-life decisions for your pet?
The Peaceful Paws program is a compassionate initiative designed to provide financial support to pet owners facing the difficult decision of euthanizing their beloved animal companions. This program eases the financial burden by offering assistance to cover the cost of euthanasia and cremation services. It aims to ensure that pet owners can say their final goodbyes to their pets in a dignified and caring manner without worrying about the financial aspect. There are no income requirements for this program, nor does a pet need to be at risk of surrender to qualify.
