After spending more than a month in the shelter, this old guy went home with his sweet new family yesterday. 11-year-old Coolant (now Hades) was adopted just before the close of business yesterday to a family who has adopted and cared for other senior dogs from our shelter in the past. Congratulations, old boy. We wish you a long and happy life. Thanks for adopting a senior pet!

November is Adopt-a-Senior Pet Month

Did you know senior pets have some of the longest shelter stays, with some staying four times as long as younger animals? You could change the life of an older pet in need!

Why Adopt a Senior?

🧠They know their stuff: Many senior pets are already housetrained, know their names, and may even have a few tricks under their belt.

✅They're fully grown: You know exactly what you're getting with these adult darlings.

😌They're ready to relax: Now far from their younger days, these pets prefer the calmer side of life.

🧡They're free: Many of our senior pets have generously had their adoption fees sponsored by Optum New Mexico!

Interested in meeting a senior pet? Follow the link below to adoptable pets, or call or stop by Animal Humane New Mexico today to set up a meet and greet!

‼️🚨 New Mexico! Statewide COLD WEATHER WARNING accompanied by snow & freezing rain STARTING WEDNESDAY. ❄️🧊🌧️‼️

Please ensure your outdoor animals have the provisions they need to stay warm & dry. The best solution…bring your dogs inside! 🏠 🐾

If you have outdoor dogs, please follow these guidelines in an effort to keep them safe in the freezing temperatures: 💕🐾

~ PROVIDE SHELTER - this consists of a doghouse with 4 sides, a roof, a floor & a door for them to go in & out of. Make sure the doghouse is not too big, yet roomy enough for them to stand up & turn around in. Precious body heat is lost when a house is too large for the dog it is sheltering. Face the door of the doghouse away from the wind & elevate it up off of the ground using a pallet or something similar. Use a heavy blanket, tarps, etc to cover it.

~ SHELTER IS NOT ENOUGH! There must be some sort of insulation. Do not use blankets, cloth, towels or hay inside of the doghouse - USE STRAW ONLY! Straw acts as a heat insulator & often times, it is the difference between life & death of an outdoor animal. Straw can be purchased at any feed store for around $6/bale & many NM shelters offer FREE STRAW to their communities! 🚫🧊🐾

~ Even in the coldest of temperatures, ALL animals require access to POTABLE WATER to survive. They dehydrate easily as they lose body heat! Ensure your dog has access to fresh (not frozen!) water at all times.

~ Outdoor dogs burn up EXTRA CALORIES trying to stay warm, so be sure you are feeding enough! It’s always a good idea to increase the amount of their breakfast & dinner, if you are feeding an outdoor dog in the winter!

‼️ If you see an outdoor dog without the proper provisions, please notify your local animal control department or shelter immediately.
Not only is it cruel & heartless, but leaving your dog outside to freeze is also ILLEGAL & there are concerned eyes everywhere! 👀
So PLEASE....just do the right thing & take care of your animals. Sincerely, .
