The Otero County Animal Shelter is dedicated to providing professional care and essential services to the animals within our community. We strive to maintain a safe, welcoming environment for every pet that comes through our doors.
Located in Alamogordo, our facility serves as a central hub for animal welfare in Otero County. Our work is rooted in the belief that every animal deserves a chance at a quality life, and we are committed to meeting the needs of our residents and their pets with efficiency and care.
As a department of the Otero County government, we focus on maintaining a structured, well-managed environment for the animals in our custody. Our team, led by our Shelter Manager, ensures that each animal receives necessary care while awaiting their forever homes.
We believe that successful adoptions are built on a foundation of compassion and responsible pet ownership. When you choose to welcome an animal into your life, you are becoming a vital partner in our mission to improve the lives of pets in Otero County.
We invite you to reach out to learn more about the animals currently in our care or to ask any questions you may have about our processes. You can contact our team at 575-434-2959 or visit our office to see how you can make a difference in a local animal's life today.
