We are a non-profit animal shelter, located in Roswell, NM--the UFO Capital of the World! We take in thousands of animals every year. We house stray animals and re-home pets given up by owners, that are placed in our care. We are NOT a no-kill shelter, but we keep our pets as long as humanly possible. We are a limited entry shelter. We have to adopt pets befo

re we bring in any new pets. We vaccinate all pets for basic vaccines, although we do not vaccinate for Rabies. Our adoptions fees are:

All pet adoption fees are $50 (which helps to reimburse us for vaccinations and medical care, while in our care)

ADOPTERS ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO PRE-PAY FOR THE PET'S SPAY/NEUTER AT A ROSWELL VET (to be performed before being released to the adopter's home-no exceptions). Make sure to mention that you are adopting a pet from us, so you may receive a discount on the surgery! We take the adopted pet to your vet for the surgery, and you may pick up your new pet from the vet, after the surgery is completed. ADOPTION GUIDELINES:

All dogs must have fenced yards(appropriate for that size dog), and we DO check. All cats adopted must be strickly indoor cats. All pets (even young pups/kits) are spayed or neutered before going into their new home, no exceptions. If you have other dogs, you must bring your other pets to have a meet & greet here at the kennels. We are not funded by any city, county, state, or federal entity. We are totally funded by donations
only. We are always in desperate need of donations to keep us afloat. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP, PLEASE DONATE THROUGH OUR FUNDRZR APP THROUGH FACEBOOK OR ON OUR WEBSITE AT WWW.ROSWELLHUMANE.ORG

We are in need of more Kuranda beds for our resident dogs! These are raised beds that are very sturdy and get the dogs off the cold, hard floor. Please visit this link to purchase one! They will be sent to us to assemble! www.kuranda.com/donate/4406/wishlist

Last night was a particularly active night for thieves, with someone leaving a generous donation of a bedroom set outside our facility, accompanied by numerous other items that were stolen. We understand that some of these posts may spark debate. While many individuals are understandably outraged that thieves would target a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing our community, others have expressed frustration with our decision to share videos of individuals allegedly in need. We would like to take this opportunity to explain our rationale for sharing photographs of individuals who appear to feel entitled to steal from our organization. As a nonprofit entity passionate about providing support to lost, neglected, abused, and unwanted animals, we rely heavily on the vital contributions generated by our Thrift Shop and the generosity of donors within our community. Although we wish individuals would refrain from leaving donations outside our facility when we are closed, it is not their responsibility to prevent theft. If anyone recognizes the vehicles or individuals depicted in these photographs, please notify us, as the authorities are working to identify these individuals and bring them to justice.

You might recall Rosa, a true shelter triumph. She was recently adopted after growing up in our shelter. We thought you might enjoy seeing an update photo showing how happy she looks in her new home with her sibling.

Our hearts are full with happiness as our Rosa finally went home today. She has grown up in our shelter and has remained the sweetest girl ever. Thankfully, a family came through our kennel that didn’t just walk past but stopped and recognized Rosa’s potential. We know Rosa will blossom with the love she will receive from her new family.

NMDOG Thanks to our partner NMDOG and their amazing program NoColdDogs, we’ve been distributing free straw to people with animals in need of something to help keep their pets warm during these frigid temperatures. Unfortunately, many of these dogs do not have proper shelter from the elements. We have depleted our supply of dog houses and are counting on our generous community to donate dog houses. Used or new, they will be used. The need is especially dire for large breed dogs. We do have dog houses on our Amazon Wishlist that can be found on our website at roswellhumane.org. Thank you!

This resilient dog was one of two spotted by Sonic on N. Main recently. A compassionate individual picked him up and brought him to us. We remain hopeful someone will soon find his companion. Following a grooming session this morning by Micah with Pampered Paws, he’s experiencing a renewed sense of vitality and comfort. With 1.5 pounds of matted hair removed, his true tiny self has been revealed. Despite facing extreme neglect, his sweet nature remains intact. Stay tuned for more photos as his hair grows back.
