Animal Humane New Mexico has been a beacon of compassion and dedication in the state, tirelessly working to provide second chances for countless animals. Their commitment goes beyond sheltering animals; they advocate for humane treatment, active adoption efforts, and education on responsible pet ownership. This year, their upcoming Doggie Dash & Dawdle event is set to bring together animal lovers for fun and fundraising. 

Animal Humane New Mexico: A Legacy of Care

Animal Humane New Mexico has a long-standing history of providing shelter, care, and hope for animals in need. From dogs and cats to smaller pets, the organization offers a safe space where animals receive the necessary medical attention, training, and the love they deserve. Not only does Animal Humane New Mexico focus on immediate care, but they also prioritize long-term adoption solutions that allow each pet to find a loving home.

Through its programs, Animal Humane New Mexico has expanded its impact by offering affordable veterinary services, promoting pet care education, and collaborating with local shelters to address pet overpopulation. This commitment to animals and the New Mexico community is why Animal Humane New Mexico continues to inspire those who share a deep love for animals.

Community Impact Through Education and Partnerships

Beyond its work within its facilities, Animal Humane New Mexico actively engages with the community. It offers resources for pet owners, from basic training tips to access to low-cost spay and neuter services. Partnerships with local businesses and other nonprofits amplify its reach, allowing AHNM to spread awareness and provide essential services to pet owners who may not otherwise have access to them.

The organization also emphasizes education, especially around responsible pet ownership and the importance of adoption. Animal Humane New Mexico not only reduces the number of animals in shelters by encouraging pet adoption but also helps combat the issue of stray and homeless animals. Its educational initiatives are a cornerstone of its mission to build a community that values and respects all animals.

Upcoming Event: Annual Doggie Dash & Dawdle

One of the most anticipated events in New Mexico, the Doggie Dash & Dawdle, is just around the corner. This beloved event is an opportunity for animal lovers to come together in support of Animal Humane New Mexico’s mission. Better with Baron is excited to be a sponsor for this year's Dash and Dawdle.
