About The Center

Our History & Our Growth

Animal Humane New Mexico has deep roots in southeast Albuquerque. Our original footprint which began with a two-story building now occupies 4 acres. We care for 150+ homeless cats and dogs on a daily basis and, in 2019, adopted 3,163 pets, achieving a Live Release Rate of 98%. Our shelter’s 20 Circle of Care programs and services positively impact pets and owners statewide.

To ensure our mission continues to flourish, we have expanded our dog agility and behavior classes on a 2.28 acre parcel across the street from our shelter’s Main Campus. Growth in this arena, as well as the addition of doggie day care & boarding is enabling us to sustain and expand our services that New Mexico pets and owners depend on daily.

Pet Training

At The Center, adopters may continue to instill the lessons expertly taught by our shelter Behavior Team during their pet’s stay in our care. And Albuquerqueans with an enthusiasm for agility, behavior training & specialty classes may seek out our talented instructors to further their pet’s training. Our diverse classes offer instruction for every stage of your dog’s life and at every level for owners. We look forward to seeing you soon at The Center.

Our Goals

This important project has been undertaken with three important goals in mind: to keep pets with their owners, to sustain our current operations that save lives daily, and to build a greater capacity to generate revenue that will allow us to further invest in our team — our shelter’s greatest resource.

Our Training Philosophy

Animal Humane employs reward-focused training techniques designed to strengthen your relationship with your pet. Pet owners are taught how to reinforce excellent manners and remove rewards for inappropriate behavior. Our instruction focuses on humane training aids for you and your pet.
