Pets of the Week

Molly
Molly, an eight year old Plott Hound,needed some extra attention so we sent her to a loving foster home. This is what they have to say about her. "Molly is a calm, gentle girl. She has been with us in foster, and we have enjoyed watching her as she gets comfortable and gets accustomed to living inside a house. Every day she learns something new, and we are delighted to see her reveal a sweet and sometimes silly personality. She gets along with other dogs, and is just a bit shy with new people, though she does love to be petted. She needs someone who can help her continue to gain confidence."
A045679

Deena
Deena is a sensitive and sweet girl who is looking for her forever home. She is a little uncertain with change so she may be best suited for a secure and quiet home environment rather than a busy and active household, but she would make an excellent lap cat. She has had a rough life up until now so she would prefer to be an indoor only cat.
044044

Madrigal
Madrigal is a dude with awesome catitude. He is a friendly but firey boy. The scars on his nose tell you he has had a hard life, so he would love to be in safe and inside only home. He does well with other cats and loves kittens.
A041812

Izzie
Izzie is an adorable little girl with a tiny squeak to match. She does not get along well with other cats, but she is affectionate around people.
044711

Ridge
Ridge is a fun and goofy hound. This handsome boy would be an excellent companion for someone with an active lifestyle. He is friendly and outgoing, and has energy to boot. He loves people and loves to play.
049840

Momma
Momma stole our hearts, and we know she'll steal your's. Momma may not look like much of a lover-dog, but she is. This girl is a sweet and affectionate pup who just wants to be around people. She is good in a car and on a leash, but sometimes she can be a brat with other dogs, so meet and greets are a must.
050059
Too many animals. Not enough homes.

Who We Are

The mission of the Santa Fe Animal Shelter & Humane Society is to reduce animal suffering by curbing overpopulation, teaching compassion, and supporting healthy relationships between people and animals.

The Santa Fe Animal Shelter & Humane Society (SFAS&HS) is the largest animal shelter and care facility in northern New Mexico. More than 6,000 lost, stray, abandoned or injured animals come through our doors each year. As a private, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization, we receive nearly all of our funding through private donors in our community and beyond. SFAS&HS contracts with the city and county of Santa Fe to care for homeless and stray animals, as well as those brought through our front doors.

We work to reunite people with their lost animal companions, and re-home those animals that have gone unclaimed into new homes through our adoption program. Low- and no-cost spay/neuter programs address the overpopulation problems that our community faces. Humane education programs in our local schools teach children to respect and care for all living creatures. Partnered with our community, we work for change in the lives of our companion animals and to end the suffering of all animals.

A Brief History

On July 18, 2005, the Santa Fe Animal Shelter & Humane Society left its home of 66 years—the only home the organization had ever known—and moved to our new, two-building, 100-acre campus. We left a structure that had helped us serve thousands upon thousands of animals for the better part of seven decades. And while that home held so much history and love, the needs of our community meant we needed more. Thanks to a partnership with the City of Santa Fe and the Bureau of Land management, we moved to a parcel of land with hiking trails, room to walk dogs, and amazing sunsets. After a multi-year fundraising drive, the first phase was completed: two beautiful new buildings in which we can provide a higher level of care to the animals in our community.

The Lapides Adoption Center serves healthy, adoptable animals. Every detail of the new shelter is designed for the comfort and health of the animals. From the tiled banco in each dog kennel to the spacious, cozy, cat colony rooms; from the radiant floor heating for our four-footed visitors to rooms where potential adopters can visit with an animal in an area designed to simulate a home environment.

The second building, the Robin Sommers Animal Receiving & Care Center, allows us much more room to house stray and abandoned animals as we care for them during their stay with us. High-tech ventilation systems will allow us to better control the spread of contagious diseases and to safely treat the animals in our care much more effectively.

We welcome you to visit the new haven we are providing to the animals of our community. Two five-acre dog parks are available so that the Shelter will not just be a place to adopt an animal or find a missing one, but one to visit over and over again. We have built this shelter for you, our community, to use as a resource and a place to find joy with the animals.
