    Our lives have been recently changed by a sweet little ball of fluff from Lucky Paws! Sure, he is a bit wild and crazy, but when he spontaneously falls asleep on your lap after franticly trying to kill the little nip filled lizard you bought at Clark's, you know he is a keeper. We visited Lucky Paws at the mall (Coronado Center, near "Boot Barn") a few times before adopting our little kitten. The location is a service of the animal welfare department and offers up a range of pets needing forever home from the city shelters. We were helped by a very friendly and caring employee, she went above and beyond helping us with our kitten search. The nice thing about this adoption center is all the pets are cleared for immediate adoption, meaning, they have shots, are compliant with city rabies requirements etc. I was surprised with the amount of traffic coming thru the place, I am not a mall goer and it was nice to see how many people were in looking for pets or just admiring. I wonder how many pets get adopted from here. Lucky Paws is a great city service!

    Wonderful dogs and cats to adopt! There are older pets here as well. Please consider adopting an owner surrender. I saw plenty. It is a cute environment and the staff are super nice! Right in the mall by boot barn.

    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 :)

    For my 100th review, I wanted to highlight a truly special place- Animal Humane New Mexico…read more I adopted my dog from them in 2019, and she has brought endless joy into my life. Their facility is bright, clean, open, and welcoming. Founded in 1965, Animal Humane is New Mexico's oldest animal welfare organization, and it shows in the care and dedication they provide.When I adopted her, the process was simple, efficient, and fairly priced. Lately, I've been thinking about how I can give back to my community, and the first place that came to mind was Animal Humane. I signed up to volunteer through their website, and they responded quickly--I was able to attend an orientation within two weeks. The orientation was incredibly informative, not just about the organization's mission, but also about the many ways volunteers can get involved. Since then, I've been volunteering in their on-site low-income pet food distribution center, and it's been amazing to see their mission in action. If you're looking to adopt a pet or find a meaningful way to give back, this is the place. Thank you, Animal Humane, for bringing so much joy into my life!

    We have been looking for a pet for several months. We saw this little girl online…read more I'm glad that we made the efforts to come and check her out. She probably wouldn't have been here tomorrow. 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!

    We adopted a pitbull mix from WMR named Skittles who had been there over 3 years. She was very…read morecautious and it took 3 weekend visits with treats to get her to trust us. Now she's been with us since March 2024 and she has her forever home. The Staff at WMR are fantastic and they go the extra mile to make sure their rescues go with the best possible families. I keep Maddie and Sam up to date on Skittles' progress. Since she had been there the longest, they wanted to make sure that we would keep her. I've read some of the not so nice reviews and I'm disappointed that people think that this is just a simple process. Animals aren't disposable items that you can just toss away. But too many people think that way. WMR staff thinks hard about letting someone adopt. It has to be the best possible fit. They don't want to see any of their rescues come back, except to visit. :) The staff and volunteers do their very best to care for all these animals. I appreciate the time and effort it takes to do this job. Thank you for letting us adopt Skittles. She's come a long way.

    I went into the mall store pet adoption location last week on Tuesday, September 17. The lady at…read morethe desk was friendly, answered my questions and gave me some literature. I think her name was Kaylee. I left to come back this week. I came in today and spoke with two ladies standing in the back. One was Samantha and I don't remember the other lady's name. I asked a question about volunteering for my 18 year old grand-daughter. They said they would have to ask. Then, I asked about the adoptions. The one with long hair said we cannot do adoptions because we don't know how. I asked who does and she told me I would have to come back another time. She was rude and did not even offer a phone number for me to call back. Very poorly trained staff and she looked like a deer in headlights when I was talking to her. I had planned on giving a $1000 donation along with adopting a dog, maybe even two but will go to another rescue with kinder, better trained personnel.

    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!

    So grateful for the knowledgeable staff that helped my fiancée and I get a sweet kitten…read more We were recovering from a very VERY bad experience with the East Side Animal Welfare. 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.
