See pets available for adoptionAdoption fee for dogs is $125 for lap dogs under 15 lbs, pure breeds, and puppies under one-year old. All other dogs are $95.
The adoption fee is $85 for cats and kittens.
If within two weeks the adoption is not working out, you will get a full refund, minus a $15 administrative fee. After two weeks there is no refund. As part of the adoption contract that the dog or cat must be returned to us.
All of our animals have been spayed or neutered. Their shots are up to date, appropriate for their age.
You'll be asked to fill out an application, and then one of our adoption counselors will interview you. The process takes between 30 minutes and an hour.
The adoption includes a free checkup by one of our participating veterinarians. You also will get a 25% discount for a training class at ABC Dog Training, Corrales Kennels Dog Training, Sandia Dog Obedience Center, and West Mesa School for Dogs. If you want to train a cat, you're on your own.
We will be happy to loan you any equipment you might need to get off to a good start with your new companion.
Dogs up for adoption can be seen weekly every Saturday, 10:00 am - 2:00 pm (summer hours), and 11:00 am - 3:00 pm (winter hours) at the NMAF Adoption Clinic held at PetSmart, 10248 Coors Bypass N.W. At the discretion of the dog foster and the NMAF office, arrangements to visit with a dog you are interested in, outside of the scheduled adoption clinic times, may be coordinated.
