Albuquerque Animal Services - Westside
A Compassionate Connection
The City of Albuquerque Animal Welfare Department is dedicated to providing excellent care and services to the animals and citizens of our community. We believe in the power of second chances and are here to help you find your new best friend.
Our Commitment to Care
Our department oversees critical operations designed to support pets and their families throughout the city. By blending professional expertise with a deep passion for animal welfare, we strive to provide a safe, nurturing environment for all animals in our care while they wait for their forever homes.
How We Support Our Community
We operate two city shelters, utilizing a blend of facility-based care and a dedicated foster network to ensure every animal receives the attention they deserve. Beyond traditional housing, we actively manage diverse initiatives including low-cost spay and neuter programs, preventative care clinics, and specialized outreach services to keep families together.
Finding Your Perfect Match
Adoption is a joyful partnership, and we are committed to making the process as transparent and supportive as possible. Whether you are looking for a loyal dog or a loving cat, our team provides the resources and guidance you need to create a successful, lasting bond with your new pet.
