Humane Society of Lincoln County, New Mexico

Animal shelter in Ruidoso, NM

HSLC is a non-profit organization, and we are the only shelter in the Lincoln County area. We are always accepting donations, and supplies. We are a small shelter and are working towards building a new, bigger facility to accommodate and house more animals and give them the care and attention they need. We have full time and part time staff who are dedicated to caring for and finding suitable homes for all our animals. We work with Foster homes, transfer facilities and run countless advertisements to get our pets out there. We take time to socialize our pets, and do some basic training. We have a wonderful group of volunteers who come every week, and we are always accepting new volunteers. We hold Off-Site Adoptions, and work with our community to advertise our shelter and hold fundraisers to help us reach our goal of a new facility. We recently opened a Resale Shop which also helps us financially support our shelter.
