    Who We Are

    Friends of the Shelter is a non-profit organization dedicated to the welfare of shelter animals in north central New Mexico.

    Our activities include:
    Promoting adoption of shelter animals
    Mobile Adoption Clinics
    Paying for medical care for shelter animals
    Funding spay and neutering of shelter animals
    Recruiting volunteers to work with shelter animals

    Adopting a Friend

    Our organization works closely with the Los Alamos Animal Shelter, and adopting a friend from the shelter is rewarding and easy!

    The shelter charges a $25 adoption fee for pets that come into the shelter already-neutered, otherwise the fee is $50 to assist in covering sterilization costs.

    Come Visit Us!

    The Shelter provides care for animals for 10 days and vaccinations before making them available for adoption. Some pets are in foster homes, and information about these animals is available from the shelter.

    All dogs are given a DHLPP shot when they come into the shelter and cats are checked for feline leukemia.

    Any animal that appears to have a medical problem is taken to a local vet for evaluation.
