Northern New Mexico Animal Protection Society
In 1990, a group of animal advocates banded together to provide financial help to those who were too poor to spay or neuter their pets. Two years later we became a non-profit and won the contract to operate the animal shelter on behalf of the City of Española. Under city management, the shelter had essentially been a warehouse where animals were held until they could be euthanized.
Through hands-on hard work and dedication, we transformed the facility into a humane shelter that provides safe, clean quarters for over 4,000 animals every year. We also operate a low-cost spay/neuter to combat rampant pet overpopulation in this impoverished region.
