My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Chip!

This handsome guy has had a rough start but has made great progress with our staff! Chip spent several months as a stray at Intel evading any attempts to be caught. He finally made his way to the City Shelter, where we were able to bring Chip into our care. Our staff spent several months working with Chip, getting him used to people and teaching him how to walk on a leash. Chip recently went into a foster home where he continues to make huge strides. Chip LOVES other dogs and cats, other dogs help him feel confident so he will need to go to a home with another pup to play with. Chip is a playful, goofy pup, he loves chew toys, balls, and rough housing. Chip has been doing well with potty training and crate training but he still has the occasional accident.

More about this shelter

Our shelter had it's beginnings in the mid 90's and formally became a nonprofit organization in 2001. The dream of Lee and Sophia DiClemente has grown to be the largest no-kill animal shelter in New Mexico. Lee passed in 2010, but Sophia carries on with the support of a small staff, a large number of volunteers, and numerous donors - large and small.
