“Donor-subsidized veterinary clinic: animal humane's donor-subsidized veterinary clinic, located on our 4-acre main campus, plays a critical role in ensuring pets stay healthy and with their families. As new mexico's only full-service low-cost veterinary clinic exclusively serving qualifying low-income pet owners, we provide much needed care for those who cannot afford to take their pets to private veterinary practices. Animal humane's mission to provide access to quality veterinary care is crucial link to having owners and their pets living happy, healthy lives together. Renovated in october 2007, with funding from private donors and foundations, animal humane's clinic also provides quality medical care for the thousands of homeless pets that we shelter annually, many of whom require spay/neuter in addition to medical procedures ranging from dentals to mass removals to orthopedic surgery. Each of our shelter pets also receives behavior training as well as abundant love and attention from our staff and volunteers. More than 30% of our clinic clients are senior citizens. Fees from their visits, along with all other clients, generate revenue to support our annual operations. In fy 2019, our expert medical team conducted 4,277 appointments for low-income pet owners.”

“Adoptions: animal humane new mexico has adopted 100% of the healthy pets in our care since january 2010 and total outgoing pets in fy19 reached 4,135; this equates to a 93% live release rate for the operating cycle. Every adopted pet receives quality medical care at our campus clinic; 2,518 cats and dogs were sterilized prior to adoption. Additionally, medical procedures/treatments (e.g., laceration repairs, abscess removals, ringworm treatment) needed to ready pets for adoption are performed by our clinic & animal care teams. Our highly effective trap-neuter-return (tnr) program led to an additional 1,316 felines being sterilized in fy19. Our tnr program continues to have a dramatic impact on lowering kitten intakes annually, as well as reducing the number homeless adult cats, at certain periods throughout the year.”

“The center at animal humane: our 2.28-acre development is located directly across the street from our 615 virginia street main campus. Phase i opened to the public in november 2016. The development began by offering dog agility instruction to small class sizes and individual owner/dog pairs. Agility clients have grown substantially with most taking classes weekly, year-round. Our renovated behavior training building opened in august 2017. This dedicated space is the ideal environment for owners + dogs to receive important instruction though diverse offerings and private consultations. Additionally, our certified trainers offer in-home private consultations when needed or requested. Phase ii renovations on our second and largest building allowed us to begin providing doggie day care & boarding services to the community starting in may 2019. This new revenue source is both welcomed by pet owners and works to generate valuable operational funding. Phase iii renovations on our final building facing wyoming boulevard will be completed in 2020 and allow animal humane to host seminars for dog & cat owners, puppy preschool classes in addition to having a photography studio where shelter and owned (day care/ boarding) dogs may be photographed. This important 2.5m project and capital campaign was undertaken with the purpose of: 1.) offering needed resources to our community that work to strengthen an owner's bond with their beloved pet; hence keeping more pets in loving homes; and 2.) creating new revenue streams to sustain our vital programs at our main campus, in our community and throughout new mexico; 3.) retaining our wildly talented and devoted team, animal humane's richest resource.”

“Animal humane new mexico provides every homeless cat and dog in our care with individual treatment plans that address their unique medical, behavioral and emotional needs. We have numerous programs that result in permanent placement of our pets in loving homes. Animal humane is proud to have launched the state's 1st meet-your-match program, an aspca matchmaking system that unites compatible pet and human companions. Every potential owner is screened by our highly-trained staff and their adoption fees generate important revenue to go toward the costs of our comprehensive care. Thrift: our 6,000 square-foot thrift shop, located at 4646 menaul blvd. Ne, is filled with gently used and new items generously donated by our community. The vast offerings, which include clothing, furniture, household goods, antiques, collectibles, give pet lovers another avenue to support our life-saving work through shopping and/or donating. Our location on menaul boulevard's "thrift store alley- and our convenient seven days of operation, make our store an inviting stop for 'thrifters- and pet lovers alike. Equally important, our thriving thrift shop generates healthy revenue to contribute toward our shelter's operational needs. Outreach: humane education is a foundational step toward building a humane and compassionate community. Through our rich array of k-12 educational and outreach programs, our learn humane classes introduces new mexico's youth and adults to concepts, skills and resources that help humans build respectful and compassionate relationships with their companion pets and one another. During fy 2019, our humane educators and volunteers reached 5,704 students and teachers with an impressive 8,848 educational contact hours. Project fetch: launched in 2009, project fetch is a flagship program that demonstrates our shelter's commitment to serving homeless pets throughout our state. Animal humane's 93% live release rate (lrr) is a stark contrast to new mexico's lrr of 50%. Year-round we partner with private and municipal shelters, as well as large and small rescue groups, to bring at- risk pets under our care to receive the second chance they deserve. This past fiscal year, our shelter transferred in 1,750 pets from 30 partner agencies across 18 counties and we worked tirelessly to harbor and care for at-risk pets in need of loving homes. Additionally, we routinely transfer in from the albuquerque animal welfare department. Behavior training and helpline: animal humane employs positive reinforcement training techniques designed to strengthen an owner's relationship with their pet. Pet owners are taught how to reinforce good behavior and discourage undesirable conduct. Through our diverse behavior training classes (with pets), educational seminars (owners only), private behavior consultations (pets & owners) and additional resources such as our free behavior helpline (505.938.7900), animal humane is dedicated to providing people with instruction that will lead to responsible and joyful pet ownership. Safety net programming: this important programming was made possible through our aspca community partnership grant in collaboration with the city of albuquerque animal welfare department, as well as petsmart charities, inc. Nationwide, there is movement to provide more resources to pet owners to keep pets in homes. Our efforts have focused on numerous tactics including: free microchips & vaccinations offered at pet health fairs (phf) held at community centers and parks in targeted low-income, high-disease areas, free spay/neuter vouchers dispersed at phf, funds for emergency veterinary care, free yard fencing or dog runs, etc. Our combined efforts have: improved the health of pets in our community, strengthened our relationships with pet owners, and worked to keep several hundred pets out of our shelters annually.
