Santa Fe Animal Shelter
Since 1939, the Santa Fe Animal Shelter has been dedicated to its mission: support animals, save lives, spread compassion. We are northern New Mexico’s only open-admission, no-kill shelter. As a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization, we receive nearly all of our funding from private donors in our community and beyond. Santa Fe Animal Shelter focuses on spay/neuter programs to control overpopulation, creative adoption efforts to bring pets to loving families and dozens of programs providing support for marginalized animals. Thanks to a partnership with the City of Santa Fe and the Bureau of Land Management, the main Shelter is housed on a 100-acre campus with hiking trails and plenty of room to walk dogs. Come visit our facilities to see how Santa Fe cares for its animals. The Shelter is not just a place to adopt an animal or find a missing one but a place to visit over and over again. This is your Shelter, built by our community – a place to find joy with animals. Thanks to our supporters, in 2017 we: * took in 5,063 animals in need. * found new homes for 2,904 animals. * returned 1,195 lost animals to their homes. * gave 179 animals a second chance with our Shelter partners. * sent 626 animals to temporary foster homes. * spayed or neutered 5,661 animals. Our Live Release Rate is currently at 94.2 percent. SFHumaneSociety.org
