Shelter FAQs

We are the Artesia Animal Shelter, and work with a rescue organization known as Paws and Claws. We have gone through a complete restructor in order to provide better service to our community as well as the animals.
We serve the Artesia, New Mexico area and surronding county area. It is our goal to reduce the stray pet population by enforcing City and State Law as well as find good homes for our homeless pets.

Additional adoption info

We require an application for all adoptions. Within the application you will be asked several questions in reference to your residence, and how you are able to provide for the animal. We will also do a public record check. We charge a $25.00 adoption fee, $15.00 Micro-chip fee, and a $25.00 deposit for Spay and Neuter. You may reclaim your deposit once proper proof of Spay and Neuter as been completed. You will also be required to enter into a contract listing certain requirements.
