The Humane Society is always seeking permanent, loving homes
for the cats and dogs in the shelter. If you are interested in
adopting, we would love to help you find just the right pet for your
home.

To get started:


  • Come by our shelter, 422 Gavilan Canyon Road, Ruidoso,
    NM

Shelter hours: Open Mon, Tue, Thur, Fri 11 am - 5 pm; Sat. 11
am - 2 pm; Closed Wed & Sun

  • Discuss your perfect pet with our staff. We can help you
    “Meet your Match”
  • Spend time with the dog or cat, play with them, let them
    meet members  of your family, including other pets and
    children
  • Fill out an application form – we love the animals in our
    care, so naturally we screen applicants to make sure each
    pet goes to a permanent and loving home
  • After your adoption is approved, we ask you to sign an
    adoption contract to make a commitment to care for your
    new friend for the rest of his/her life
  • Adoption fee includes your pet
    having rabies shots, vaccinations (if over 3 months old),
    spayed or neutered, and microchipped. We accept check,
    cash, MasterCard, and Visa.

Congratulations! It’s time to take your new pet home. We
recommend you take your new pet for a thorough veterinary
examination within 21 days. We’ll be happy to help you find a local
vet in your area. We also have suggestions on how to transition
your pet from the shelter to your home.
