Love and Care For the Homeless
We started Almost Home New Mexico due to the large number of homeless and unwanted animals we saw at the shelters. We believe that every animal should be given a chance at finding a forever home. However due to lack of space at most government run facilities and the misconception that "all dogs at the shelters are bad, mean, or sick" we have decided to give dogs from the euthanasia list of one small facility the extra time they need to be seen by the public in a different environment.
Every dog we have rescued from certain death has proven their worth and loyalty to us and their new owners. We see very few “bad dogs”— unfortunately though we have seen many “bad owners” since being involved in rescue!
Almost Home New Mexico provides the love and care these homeless animals need and then, when we think they are ready, we find them the best home we can. A home that will love and make a forever commitment to them. We realize that animals are legally just property however we see them as living, feeling beings who need and require love, time, and training by their owners to be the best they can be.
Who Are We and What Do We Do
Almost Home New Mexico is a small group of individuals dedicated to making a difference to the animals in their program. We are still working on our tax exempt status but hope to have it soon.
We realize we can't save them all and we know that we may not make a huge difference to the over population problem, but we know and believe in our hearts that we make a difference to the animals we rescue.
The animals in our program are given love, medical, a warm bed, people and other dogs to play with, nourishment, and yes even discipline and training when needed. Then we work on finding these animals their forever homes with people who will love them just as much as we did, if not more!!!!
All our animals are given an exam, sterilized, and fully vaccinated prior to adoption.
We rarely take animals from the public. The majority of our animals are rescued from the euthanasia list at government run facilities.
If you can no longer keep your dog due to behavior issues please feel free to contact us and we will try to help you and your dog work through the issues you all are having. We want your dog to stay with you. Every dog deserves to stay in their home with their family.
