Albuquerque Animal Services - Eastside
Connecting Hearts and Homes
The City of Albuquerque Animal Welfare Department is dedicated to providing excellent care and support to our community's animals, ensuring every pet finds the loving home they deserve. We believe in the power of second chances and are committed to creating a kinder future for all creatures.
Our Commitment to the Community
As a vital resource for our city, we serve as a safe haven for stray animals and a support center for local pet owners. Our mission is built on professional care, responsible stewardship, and a deep, shared passion for the well-being of the animals that make Albuquerque a better place.
Our Compassionate Care Model
We operate with a holistic approach that blends shelter-based care at our Eastside and Westside facilities with an active, life-saving foster program. Whether a pet needs a quiet place to recover from an illness or a temporary home to thrive, our dedicated foster parents provide the personal attention that makes a world of difference. Every animal in our care receives veterinary attention and the specialized support they need until they are ready to meet their new family.
Your Partner in Adoption
Adoption is more than just a transaction; it is a lifelong partnership that begins with finding the perfect match. We are here to guide you through the process, ensuring you have the information you need to welcome a new companion into your home with confidence and joy. Our team is always here to answer your questions and provide the resources necessary for a successful, happy transition.
