Adopted my sweet girl from here. People up front were very nice, the male worker is grumpy.

This location really needs new staff front office ladies are the rudest people you will ever meet and so very unhelpful they do not care about the well-being of the animals.

The people working here were very knowledgeable! We mentioned to them what we were looking for in a dog and they were able to help! They also have a spot where you can have a “meet and greet.” Highly recommend!

Samantha was very helpful and informative. She took the time to explain the adoption process. If I could I'd adopt every dog at the facility

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Instead of animal control where they put the animal to sleep why not try watermelon ranch

I saw 3 people inside. They really should change their hours on the sign and website. My kid was heart broken. I gave them a review of one star on Google for that.

Because animal control hasn't been called and it is not coach as it happening.

I found a little Finch in my front yard. He seem s to be hurt. I put him in a box with food and water. He is hungry, but not able to fly. What should I do?

If you can I would take him to a vet, I can recommend a place that would have good information. If he isn't seriously injured you might be able to watch him for a couple days before letting him go again. If you think it might be someone's pet you can put a post on an app called nextdoor, someone in your area may know who he belongs to. Hope this helps

Does the animal shelter do spaying there and when

Martha Rivera aragon | Oct 28, 2020
Racquel Mong | Oct 28, 2020

No. They will have their animals spayed/neutered before they adopt them out, but they do not do that for currently owned animals.

Is there a way to volunteer (in any capacity)? I saw something for the city in general, but I have some free time coming up soon and want to make sure I can since this is close to where I'm staying before clearing my schedule.

Chris Espinosa | Oct 29, 2019

Hi, yes. They are always looking for volunteers especially in the mornings. Contact the administration office and request to speak to a manager and she can give you the information and guide you through the right direction to start volunteering. Good luck and thank you for your service.

Are you able to surrender animals? Is so, what are the requirements?

DontBlameMe E | Oct 29, 2019
Katherine Boling | Oct 29, 2019

Yes, they can take owner surrender animals. You are required to fill out paper for regarding the pet and the reasons for the surrender, pay a fee and you are possibly blacklisted from adopting an animal in the state of New Mexico for at least a year depending in the circumstance

What is the current dog adoption fee for a veteran. City resident ?

Stephen Erichson | Oct 29, 2019
Deborah McNeely | Oct 29, 2019

I know they have most animals at $100. Some animals, especially the older animals, are at $50. I am not sure if they have a veteran's discount or not.

Just lost a male Husky named Simang who is not neutered yet and is black and white with bright blue eyes. Lost him on 1st Street in Rio Rancho.

Apparently what breed of dog can have like a 50 mile radius that they like to run in and explore. Most likely he'll be back in by morning.

Can you come anytime for dog license

Lorraine Friedland | Oct 29, 2018
Phyllis Rossetti | Oct 29, 2018

Yes. Anytime they are open.

I have a nice back yard that I especially like to enjoy spring, summer and fall. My neighbors yard is not landscaped. They keep 3 dogs and very seldom pick up the dogs poop. It smells and the poop brings alot of flies. Can something be done?

Mabel Romero | Oct 29, 2018
TC C | Oct 29, 2018

Yes. You call Rio Rancho Animal Control and tell them exactly what you just said here.

Also, quick note: if you say you're open from 8 - 10, please *actually* be open from 8 - 10.... I tried calling twice and got left on voicemail.

Cotorro Lovely | Oct 29, 2018

The front desk always seems to get busy on calls or helping customers, so they might be open just on a long call or helping walk-ins.
