Socorro Animal Shelter & Adoption Center

The sole municipal open admission animal shelter in operation in Socorro County is the Socorro Animal Shelter (SAS). With agreements for sheltering services with Socorro County and the Village of Magdalena, the SAS is run by the City of Socorro. SAS welcomed 1126 animals in 2019. Nearly 782 of those animals were adopted or transferred out through our adoption center.

The Valencia County Animal Control Division is dedicated to offering top-notch services for the welfare of the county's residents and animals.

Our goal is to help Sierra County, New Mexico's lost, abused, neglected, and/or abandoned animals by offering financial, educational, and, if needed, physical support. a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that is non-profit.

Our mission is to prevent animal cruelty, alleviate animal suffering, and broaden humane education. Our mission is guided by three community programs: Spay-Neuter, Spay-a-Stray, and Adopt-a-Pet Referral. Additionally, we are the owners and operators of Desert Haven Animal Refuge, a shelter for unwanted, neglected, and companion animals in Sierra County. Desert Haven Animal Refuge (DHAR) provides loving care for cats and dogs for the duration of their stay with us or until we are able to place them in a new loving and acceptable home.

The Bernalillo County Animal Care and Resource Center has an excess of adoptable dogs and cats, and the staff is in need of towels, small and big blankets without filling, washcloths, fleece blankets, and flat sheets that are either new or clean and in good condition.

We are requesting folks who want to surrender a pet to speak with an Animal Welfare representative before bringing your pet in. This will help us better manage our shelters and care for the thousands of stray animals that pass through our doors each year.
