No More Homeless Pets New Mexico

What We Do
	We have chosen 3 goals for this year: To work on decreasing the number of animals killed at the Albuquerque Animal Shelter To develop a transport program to move animals from the Shelter to other shelters who have people waiting to adopt To develop an aggressive low income spay and neuter program which will sterilize 2500 animals in this year

Here is how we are working on these goals…

We work with City officials and staff at the shelter about what can be done to reduce the killing. We sit on the Animal Board, we volunteer, and we offer our skills and time in specific tasks.

We have developed collaboration with a group of shelters in Colorado. They need dogs, we have dogs. We have a group of people who volunteer to drive, we rent a van, get dogs slated to be killed and drive them north. We generally make a trip once a week. Each trip costs about $300. We have transported approximately 500 dogs as of 4/05.

We have developed a whole program to program to provide spay and neuter services to low-income people. We have a hot line - 505-345-6647 [345-NMHP] and have a list of animals waiting for surgery. We provide surgeries to about 200 animals per month.

Spay and neuter services are done in collaboration with local vets and agencies who partner with us. Here is where we stand now:

We have 580 animals on the waiting list.

We have spayed or neutered almost 3,500 animals as of 04/15/05.
