Accolades and Kudos to the team at Rio Grande Animal Hospital!!!…read more I have been to multiple local veterinary clinics and have to recognize Rio Grande Animal Hospital as Absolutely Outstanding! I recently took my pet chihuahua, Katie to the clinic; Veterinarian, Daniel Levenson was kind, empathic, professional and explained her health issues in detail. His assistant, Jennifer is Absolutely Amazing, truly a "pet whisperer" who Katie quickly bonded with!!! For superlative quality care for your pet, Dr. Levenson and Jennifer are exceptional and worth their weight in gold!

We adopted our Border Collie mix dog Norman aka "Norm" from Westside Animal Shelter and I'm so…read moregrateful we got him. This was my first time adopting a shelter dog on my own, although all the dogs at home I grew up with were all stray dogs that my dad usually got from some golf courses he played. The process was a bit time consuming...given COVID, the shelter could only take very limited number of people in at a time..so you'd have to sign up on a virtual/digital wait-list to be inform when your turn to go into the office was. We arrived around 2pm on a weekend...and our wait was around 1.5hours. They were definitely limited by the number of staff and I wished I knew they needed many volunteers earlier (I talked to one staff when we went in to pick up Norman after his neuter..and the staff mentioned they were 11 people short!!)..so I could stop by to help in any way I could before this adoption. We had Norman for a lil less than a week now and I was so happy with him. At first he seemed shy and timid..but he definitely made huge improvement and progress each day! With more and more days..I found he loved nature...walking..and interested in plants (he was a stray...and from his behaviors..it sermed he didn't really have much interaction with people or other dogs at home before). He's also very gentle...no barking..no aggressiveness at all. Somehow his pot training process was a cakewalk! I didn't really have to teach him much what to do and it seemed he kindda preferred to elimite outside of home anyways! I can't wait to work and spend more time with him. Thank you ABQ Animal Welfare for letting us adopt this precious dog as a new member of our family!

One that left my fiancée cut up from a cat they neglected to tell us was aggressive/skittish even when I asked. They have little cards describing their personalities, and they are filled out beyond correctly. You can tell handlers get to know these animals very well. We greatly appreciate the fast service, knowledge, and eagerness to help us find our little Tiger Lilly.

I recently took my dog in for a broken toenail, which is now well-healed, thanks to this great vet…read more The first visit lasted all of about 20 minutes and I was in and out. I wasn't rushed, I got all my questions answered and my dog got fantastic care, they were just that fast. Her foot was excellently bandaged and I was given all the information I needed for home care. I even called a couple of times to get further advice and got excellent help over the phone. I took her in for a recheck a couple of weeks later and I had the same experience. In and out very fast with no additional charge for the 2nd visit. Overall, the cost of her care was very reasonable and I feel like she was very well taken care of while we were there. Very nice and communicative staff, everyone was very friendly and efficient, and they obviously love the animals brought to them for help. I have nothing negative to say about this vet clinic, you can trust them to take amazing care of your pet. Thank you Mesa Grande!!! :)

TLDR: Dr. E and her entire team at Ace of Paws are remarkable and truly life-changing. If your dog…read moreneeds physical therapy, this is the team you want. For the long story--our 5-month-old German Shepherd started limping, and we initially thought she had just overdone it playing. When it didn't improve, we took her to the vet and received a devastating diagnosis: severe bilateral hip dysplasia. Surgery (THR--total hip replacement) was discussed right away, but because of her age, we needed to wait until she was at least 9 months old. In the meantime, physical therapy was strongly recommended. That's when we found Ace of Paws. We had our first appointment just three days after her diagnosis. Dr. E was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough- she listened to our story and answered every question we had. I'll admit, I was skeptical at first. I had no experience with physical therapy (human or animal), and it's not cheap, but it is absolutely worth every penny. Before starting PT, our dog had a noticeable limp. She couldn't jump, get onto the couch or bed, or into the car without help lifting her back end. We started with weekly sessions that included the underwater treadmill, laser therapy, and guided exercises, along with daily at-home work. By the third or fourth appointment, we started noticing real improvement. Her gait, her comfort, everything. And it only continued to get better from there. Now, nearly a year later, she's doing amazing. If you didn't know she had hip dysplasia, you wouldn't be able to tell. She's no longer limping and can jump and move around freely without pain. Surgery has gone from "inevitable" to something we may consider much later, depending on how she continues to do. I know not every outcome will look like ours, but I truly believe Ace of Paws can make a meaningful difference no matter where you and your dog are in your journey. Looking back at where we started compared to where we are now honestly brings tears to my eyes. We're so sad to be moving away from Albuquerque, but incredibly grateful for the entire team; Tiffany, Chris, Kate, Selena, and Dr. E. Thank you for everything you've done. Casi and I will miss you all so much.

Though the inside was not very nice, I know that the staff do their best to take care of the animals. The place looks pretty standard for an animal shelter, sterile and much like jail. I was glad to take my dog out of there. I'm assuming the aesthetics of the place has much to do with funding. What I really appreciate is the fact that all of the staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating. My partner was the one who picked out the dog and I was running from a play performance to meet her before they closed. I came right before closing time and was graciously accommodated. The shelter paid for the spaying, all vaccines, tags and microchipping of our doggy before they let her go home with us. I'm very thankful for all that. We both feel very lucky to have the dog that we got.
