For an adoption outlet in a mall, I certainly wasn't expecting to get lucky at Lucky Paws. But…read morethen, they say the dog chooses the owner, not the other way around. We visited on a whim, since Animal Welfare was closed for the holiday weekend. We'd already checked Animal Humane, essentially walking right past about 20 fine pups, and we'd passed through half of the kennels in this tiny adoption outlet when -- wham -- we both stopped. Something about Violet, later renamed Ivy, had us frozen. Golden brown with floppy hound ears, and sweet, gorgeous brown eyes decked out in nature's own black eyeshadow, this year-and-a-half grown puppy saw our hesitation, and she had us dead to rights. That's when we asked Sasha, a volunteer, to let us in. Violet picked us. Financially supported by the City and private donations, Lucky Paws is an incredible place to adopt, particularly because the organization covers all of the initial basics -- and I mean all of them -- that low-income New Mexicans might otherwise neglect: + All cats & dogs are spayed/neutered + All are vaccinated + Free initial veterinarian visit + Free doggie bath + Free dog training course + Total adoption cost: $25. Older animals, and those who've remained at the kennel longer than two months, cost just $5 Our dog also came with shot records and some wonderful informational materials about training, nutrition, welfare and behavior. The volunteer, Sasha, was marvelous; she made it clear that we were adopting her favorite orphan. ("I call her Audrey, sometimes. Those eyes remind me of Audrey Hepburn.") Thus far, Violet -- now Ivy -- has been the best decision our family has made in years.

I want to thank you Animal Humane for allowing me to adopt my wonderful dog! I moved back home to…read moreCalifornia and brought my dog. He has been a true blessing. He has been amazing. I made sure to set him up for success with all the training I could give him since he was already 2 years old approx. I want to bring awareness to give dogs time to adjust, my dog took about a full year to show his true personality and even then he has improved over the years. I adopted him 3 years ago and he has kept on growing in trusting people more and becoming more confident. Give dogs a chance only if you are willing to give them time, they are 10000% worth the investment of time and effort. Also, donate to your animal shelters when you can! I try to, every year on the day of his adoption :)

Jacqueline, who helped us pre-adopt, told us that she had received calls about her. Emma Took her outside so we can get acquainted with her. All the staff is really helpful. This shelter is much cleaner than the city shelters. Our adoption will include a spay and vaccinations. It also includes a microchip.

The amazing folks at BernCo had been talking up the facility during the Sugar Skull Fun Run a few…read moreweekends ago and I just had to come see. I lost one of my pups a few months back and my other is lonely. I've been looking for another pup and decided to check out the facility. This new center is really nice, there is a ton of parking as it is kinda out there on its own. It is located about five minutes from El Modelo, just head south on 2nd from Bridge and it is super easy to find. They have a check in system and are trying to maintain social distancing by limiting capacity. You check in and then are free to walk through and meet the dogs and/or cats. If you see one you'd like to spend more time with, you just tell them and you can interact with them further. I found that they had some really great dogs and I could see they had a good amount of cats too. I met a really cute pup named Luna and even brought my pup to meet her but had some concerns, mainly how much larger he is than she was. Anyways, definitely recommend checking them out!

However, my encounters with employees have been very hit or miss. Maybe because I'm a young woman, they often assume I know nothing about fish. During my most recent trip, the employee helping me was very condescending. While lecturing me about things I already know, he also gave me several pieces of misinformation about basic fish care. I should have corrected him, but I felt uncomfortable and just wanted to get my fish and go. After this interaction, I decided to get my next fish from an online retailer. Disappointed because I would rather shop local, but I don't want to deal with these kinds of interactions anymore or buy from a store with misinformed employees.

She was about 7mths old & had not had her Bordetella. Their excuse was "We take a holistic approach". They're a rescue & don't give Bordetella? They said that typically if a dog gets Bordetella it resolved within about 5 days. There is absolutely ZERO guarantee that that would be the case. Plus, what about what the pet goes through in those 5 days? Most reputable groomer or boarder requires Bordetella vaccine. Traveling such as flying requires it. Then they tell me she isn't chipped. Their reasoning was chip companies come & go. Um, a chip is a chip is a chip!!! So, now she has to get chipped. So, vaccines NOT current & she wasn't chipped. Yet, they increased the adoption fee. I absolutely 100% love my baby but would NOT recommend this rescue. I have all text correspondence & proof of misleading information. There are TONS of rescues out there!!
