Reply (Enchantment Chihuahua Rescue Ltd) Do you want to add to your family and make a positive impact on the world at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter! Despite the coronavirus pandemic, animal shelters in Albuquerque and environs have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting for someone to take them home. There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home in New Mexico — and many of them are located within driving distance. In the search for an adorable new friend, consider beginning at a local animal shelter like Animal Humane New Mexico, where Bella the dog is waiting patiently. If you aren't sure if you have time to take care of a pet year round, many shelters also offer opportunities to foster pets until they are placed in permanent homes.
