We are in a very rural county in western New Mexico that had no animal control at all until we started trying to make a difference in the fall of 2003. Early in the spring of 2006 we became incorporated and we have now had our non-profit status for 13 years. We concentrate on rescuing lost and abandoned animals and helping out when people die or become incapable of caring for their pets. Our biggest focus is to neutering everything that passes through our hands.
By the summer of 2014, we have been able to spay and neuter over 1500 animals. We sometimes have puppies and kittens but specialize mostly in adult dogs and cats, all spayed, neutered and ready to go. Here at Fur and Feather, you will find that we pride ourselves in rating these animals for their ability to be with children, cats, horses, other dogs, and poultry. The biggest hurdle we are always facing is getting enough funding to keep things going to take care of the nearly 300 dogs and cats in our care. We gratefully accept donations of food, bedding, toys, fencing materials, cash and almost anything that can eventually be used here. We are always happy to make appointments for visitors as we love for people to see our facility and meet our animals. Happily, we are making a difference one critter at a time. Come out and see us in 2014!

We make ourselves available however necessary to find great homes for our animals.

Additional adoption info
Most importantly we do have a policy that assures you can return an animal to us if things are not working out. We want to make sure that all is a good fit. Since every situation is unique we try to work with each individual to find a good match. We ask for reimbursement of the regular veterinary expenses we have in the animal and that is what brings us to our adoption fees. Our primary goal is finding forever homes for our pets.
HeARTs Speak develops resources that help shelter animals to be seen and find homes, ultimately transforming public perceptions of pet adoption, shelters, and animals in need. Each year our work helps nearly 1 million pets in your community and beyond.
