ESPAÑOL A HUMANE

SANTA FE ANIMAL SHELTER

Española Humane was founded in 1992 by dedicated individuals who had a clear lifesaving vision of helping animals in one of New Mexico’s most underserved regions.

After winning the contract to operate the municipal animal shelter on behalf of the City of Española, the small facility was transformed into an open-admissions shelter.

Since 1939, the Santa Fe Animal Shelter has been dedicated to its mission: support animals, save lives, spread compassion. We are the largest open-admission and only no-kill shelter in northern New Mexico. Every year, we serve more than 4,000 lost, stray, abandoned or injured animals brought to us by Santa Fe city and county animal control, the general public and those transferred in from other organizations. In addition to reuniting lost animals with their owners and re-homing those that have gone unclaimed, we oversee a number of life-saving programs aimed at reducing shelter intake, increasing live outcomes, keeping owned animals with their families, reducing overpopulation in Santa Fe, and educating the public on the humane treatment of animals. Partnering with our community, we work towards positive change in the lives of our companion animals and to end the suffering of all animals.

At Española Humane, our primary goal is to keep pets and people together and reduce the number of unwanted animals by fostering a healthy environment and compassionate community for pets, their families and their neighbors. We do so by offering free spay/ neuter surgeries (more than 6,500 free surgeries every year), administering core vaccinations and showering each furry friend with boundless love at our welcoming clinic as well a wellness clinics in underserved neighborhoods. We work cooperatively to find families or partners for homeless pets, reconnect lost dogs and cats to their owners, and ensure that vulnerable animals stay with their families.

Our innovative community programs build relationships with pet guardians, creating awareness about pet health, safety, and the unnecessary burdens of pet overpopulation.

Such programs include: Pet Amigos pet outreach program, off-site adoption events, a permanent off-site adoption program at Ojo Santa Fe (open to guests for a unique “puppy” experience and open by appointment for local residents for adoption), and special fundraising events, such as Fur Fest - an annual event in Santa Fe. Other services we offer include, low-cost and free euthanasia services, free spay/neuter surgeries, vaccination and microchips for owned pets, and vaccination clinics in which limitied veterinary services are also available (flea/tick treatment, tests, and nail trimming).

Other ways we serve our community include: Our Spay/Neuter clinic located at 2570-B Camino Entrada offers low-cost, high-quality spay/neuter surgery and vaccination programs to help the overall population and health of animals. Open Tuesday–Friday, by appointment only. Phone: 505.474.6422 The Clare Eddy Thaw Animal Hospital located at 100 Caja del Rio Rd. on the shelter campus is a full-service, small animal veterinary hospital which serves companion animals belonging to the general public. Open Monday–Friday, by appointment only.

ABOUT THE PET CALENDAR

SNOOKIE DOODLE CATMANDU N.F.C. AGE: 9 years BREED: Norwegian Forest Cat ABOUT: Snookie found his owners at The Cat North. Now he is a mainstay in their lives. He is social and at the center of any gathering. After entertaining guests with his dexterity in killing catnip toys, he sits next to someone and joins the conversation when he needs to say something profound.

PERSONALITY TRAITS: Snookie has a very strong personality. He considers himself superior to most other creatures – especially dogs. Snookie is happiest when he is around his owners, whom he considers his cat family. Therefore, it is fair game for him to attack, lick, and cuddle them anytime he wants to do so.

FAVORITES: Every night when it is time for bed, Snookie yells at his owners and won’t stop until they turn in. He is talkative and has a full vocabulary which he uses every day to let them know what he expects them to be doing for him. He loves to go on walks (on a leash) and spy on birds and lizards.

A delight, Lily became the fourth fur baby in the home. Adopt, don’t shop.

FAVORITES: Although her first love is lizard hunting, her proudest achievement is catching a mouse. Every morning, she rushes outside to survey her property and check each plant for a hiding lizard. She also insists on getting the newspaper, running ahead to lead the way before her owner, Stan.

PUMPKIN AGE: 2 years BREED: Orange Calico ABOUT: As a kitten, Pumpkin was very shy, even with his owner, who began to take careful steps to befriend him. After a sweet and gentle process of discovery, Pumpkin became bolder, investigated more, and learned to play heartily with his brothers and sisters.

FAVORITES: Pumpkin loved to climb and find a sunny spot to doze off in. He also enjoyed going for walks with his owner, moseying down the street inspecting things and basking in the afternoon sun. People who walked by were stunned to see them strolling along together.

ZIGGY-ZUZU-GRANDPA Z AGE: Ziggy - 6 years, Zuzu - 10 years, Grandpa Z - 14 years BREED: Ziggy - Mixed Breed, Zuzu - Bedlington Terrier, Grandpa Z - Miniature Poodle ABOUT: Ziggy is the most lovable boy who bestows many many kisses on his owner and must be close to her. He can also become a ‘Tasmanian Devil’ but only by being noisy. Zuzu looks like a lamb and likes to go up to people at the dog park and give kisses. He is well-traveled and when he can, enjoys running on the beach. Grandpa Z was a senior rescue dog. He was the funniest, quirkiest, lovable dog. He loved to share his owner’s orange in the mornings. He passed away in July 2023 after being in the household for a year and a half.

*

FAVORITES: Ziggy enjoys sitting on his owner’s lap and Zuzu loves anything edible.

What to do if your pet goes missing

What to do if you find a lost animal

Up to 10 million pets go missing in North America every year. While you can hope that your cat or dog won’t be one of them, it’s important to know what to do if it does happen. Here are some steps you can take to safely bring home a lost pet.

If you come across a cat or dog that looks lost, here are three things you can do:

NOTIFY THE RIGHT PEOPLE Contact local veterinary clinics, animal shelters, rescue groups and animal control centers. Provide them with a description of your pet, the location where they were last seen and a recent photo.

MAKE POSTERS Include your pet’s photo, name and breed as well as your phone number and any other relevant information. Post your notices on public bulletin boards at the library, community center and grocery stores, and on utility poles in your neighborhood. It’s also a good idea to share your poster on social media networks and groups.

CANVAS THE AREA Walk around your neighborhood calling your pet’s name and any phrases you typically use to call them. Knock on doors and ask your neighbors if they’ve seen your pet.

Leave them with copies of your poster if they haven’t. Search a few times a day. Your pet could be scared and may not respond to your calls right away.

CALL THE SANTA FE NEW MEXICAN The Santa Fe New Mexican classified advertising department will run a free 7-day announcement of a missing or found pet. Dial 505-986-3000 or write to classad@sfnewmexican.com.

USE CAUTION TO CATCH AND CONTAIN IT Approach the animal slowly and carefully, speaking in a calm, gentle voice. The best way to contain dogs is with a leash or inside a fenced yard. Cats should be put in a cat carrier, a secure box with air holes or in a room in your house. If the animal is behaving aggressively, don’t try to catch it – call animal control or the police right away.

LOOK FOR AN ID If the animal has an identification tag, you’ll be able to contact the owner immediately and arrange its return.

CONTACT A LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTER If the animal doesn’t have an ID tag, take it to an animal shelter. The animal shelter will scan the animal for a microchip, which typically contains the owner’s contact information. Even if it doesn’t have a microchip, the animal has the best chance of being reunited with its owner at the animal shelter, as it’s the most obvious place to go looking for a lost pet.

MAKE SURE YOUR PET CARRIES IDENTIFICATION Pets that wear ID tags are more likely to be returned than those that don’t. Make sure your pet wears a tag that includes their name and your current phone number. In addition, have a veterinarian implant a microchip in your pet. This type of ID can be detected with a scanner and has a unique number that’s linked to your pet’s information.
