How's that again?
-
EVERYONE must complete an adoption application
in order to start the process!
-
Our phone number is a New Mexico number, in the Albuquerque area.
(505-934-2202)
-
Be courteous about calling! Don't call us earlier than 9am or later than 6pm.

We are not a shelter. We are a group of foster homes all over the
Albuquerque metropolitan area. You cannot "come to see" the animals. We bring
them to you! It may take a few days to schedule this!

We are ALL volunteers.
-
When we say crate-trained, we mean they sleep there
overnight! Animals should NEVER be left in crates for long periods of time!

romping with the other foster pups. They use the doggie door and play well with others. What they would like
