The Spay/Neuter & Wellness Clinic at 2570-B Camino Entrada (between Outback and Kohl's) offers low-cost, high quality spay/neuter and vacination programs to help ensure fewer unwanted puppies and kittens, and to help the overall health of the animals. To schedule an appointment, please call 505-474-6422. For more information click here. 

Join us on Friday, February 12 from 12:00 to 3:00 PM at Plaza Entrada Shopping Center (next to Albertson's on Zia and St. Francis).

We'll be collecting your generous donations of cat and dog food, kitty and puppy chow, canned food and treats to help fill the bellies of our animals.

For the sake of consistency of diet, Purina brand chow preferred.

This event is sponsored by our good friends at Wayne Steen State Farm. Additional sponsorship provided by Albertson's.

You won't want to miss our super-sweet Valentine's Day event at When the Sun Reaches My Sister, our favorite hair salon.

From 12:00 - 3:00 PM on Sunday, February 14, come meet some of our sweetest adoptable animals at 301 E. Palace Ave.

Don't miss other upcoming adoption events with other partners at Zoe & Guido's Pet Boutique, Petsmart, and others! Keep an eye on our online calendar. It's the easiest way to figure out where our adoptable critters will be and what wonderful events we have going on!

Not every dog in our adoption kennels is perfect. In fact, like us humans, hardly any of them are. But, like us, they can get along pretty well if they have someone to love them and take care of them.

Some dogs, however, need someone to go that extra mile for them. At SFAS&HS, we don't give up on those dogs. To give them the time and special attention they need, we partner with our friends Joey and Hannah at Santa Fe Tails.

Without charging your shelter a dime, Joey and Hannah work with our "special needs" dogs to give them the training, help, and confidence they need to become part of a family. They have saved many lives, and work tirelessly to make our very improvable dogs ready to go home.

Not only do they provide these services for us, they offer a host of pet services to our Santa Fe Community. Want to find out more? Visit their website by clicking here. And take a moment to thank them for all they do for the animals of our community.

Many of you knew Pounce, the three-legged cat who lived behind the SFAS&HS Receiving desk for many years. She was old when she came to us, but in spite of her age, missing leg, and an ever-increasing number of missing teeth, she was an indispensable - and very vocal! - member of our staff. (Her unofficial job title was "Feline Leisure Technician.")

After a struggle with a variety of illnesses and medical conditions, Pounce left us on Monday, January 11, 2009. We mourn her passing and the beautiful, cat-shaped hole she leaves in our lives. She will not soon be forgotten.

From everyone who knew and loved you, Pounce, let us say only this: "may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."

Big dogs are good dogs. They're also easy to find in northern New Mexico. In fact, shelters are full of them.

To save the lives of these overlooked dogs, the Santa Fe Animal Shelter & Humane Society will waive the surgery fee and pay owners a $10 bonus for every big, brown mixed-breed dog over 40 pounds (or puppies who are planning on growing up to be big, brown mixed-breed dogs!) brought to the SFAS&HS Spay/Neuter & Wellness Clinic for surgery.

To schedule an appointment or for more information, owners may call the SFAS&HS Spay/Neuter & Wellness Clinic at (505) 474-6422.

We're so proud to announce the Moving Forward for Felines Fund, the generous gift of an anonymous donor designed to raise the profile of cats in our communities by helping to fund spay and neuter.

This fund will allow those who need it most to receive spay/neuter services for even less than our already-low prices. For only a $10 co-pay in most cases, owners can ensure that their cat stays healthier and doesn't increase the population of unwanted cats already filling our community by getting spayed or neutered in our high-quality clinic.

Funds are limited each month, so act now! Call 474-6422 for more information or to make an appointment.

Through your monthly donation to the Shelter, you can help ensure the finest care and comfort for the Shelter animals of our community... read more
