ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- Workers at the City of Albuquerque s Animal Welfare shelter are asking people to help care for the pets. Our shelter pets are usually homeless or abused pets, said Carolyn Ortega, director of the Animal Welfare Department.
Ortega said people have been stepping up to foster pets, preventing the shelter from hitting its capacity.
However, the shelter is still in need of supplies, according to Ortega. Blankets, towels, beds, even dog houses, Ortega said. If they like smaller things can be like I mentioned toys free treats dog food, leashes and harnesses things like that.
