At the Bernalillo County Animal Care and Resource Center, we are dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality care for animals while building a safer, more humane community for both pets and their owners. We strive to be a reliable resource for animal welfare, fostering connections that change lives for the better.
We believe that healthy communities are built on the foundation of responsible, caring pet ownership. By addressing the diverse needs of our county’s animals, we aim to ensure every pet finds a safe, nurturing environment where they can thrive alongside their families.
Our center operates as a dedicated hub for animal care, providing essential services that include pet adoption, comprehensive animal licensing, and proactive enforcement of local animal welfare ordinances. We are also proud to offer educational resources and a spay/neuter assistance program, which are vital tools in supporting responsible stewardship throughout our region.
Adoption is a joyful journey, and our goal is to help you find a companion that perfectly complements your lifestyle and household. We focus on thoughtful, transparent matching to ensure that every adoption marks the beginning of a long, happy, and fulfilling partnership for both you and your new pet.
