Animal Services Center of the Mesilla Valley We provide a range of progressive animal services to support our community. If you make a mistake, admit it and correct it quickly.

We are the only open-admission municipal shelter in Las Cruces and Doña Ana County, dedicated to reuniting lost pets with their owners and finding homes for those in need. Inappropriate social media posts may lead to dismissal as a volunteer and/or removal as a social media editor or administrator on behalf of the ASCMV. Inappropriate posts include (but are not limited to) those that are offensive

, discriminatory, false, confidential, derogatory, defamatory, unprofessional, or disclose non-public information about ASCMV operations, personnel, or volunteers. Inappropriate posts also include unauthorized photographs of the ASCMV premises (public or non-public areas), property, animals, off-site events, personnel, or volunteers. Additional guidelines:
• Ensure photos are appropriate and that non-ASCMV-affiliated people are not tagged without their permission.
• If you engage in dialogue on an ASCMV social media site, be polite, respectful, and use professional language. This includes making sure to the best of your ability to use complete (but not run-on) sentences, proper spelling, correct punctuation and grammar, and stay on topic—as you would in any professional written exchange.
• Do not disclose any personal information about ASCMV staff or volunteers. If you see confidential information posted by someone else, immediately notify a member of the ASCMV management team.
• If you are not sure you have authorization to make a public announcement or disclosure on behalf of the ASCMV—don’t. Ask a member of the ASCMV management team.
• Remember, once a post is out there, you can’t get it back.
