We are a non-profit animal shelter, located in Roswell, NM--the UFO Capital of the World!

We take in thousands of animals every year. We house stray animals and re-home pets given up by owners, that are placed in our care. We are NOT a no-kill shelter, but we keep our pets as long as humanly possible. We are a limited entry shelter. We have to adopt pets before we bring in any new pets. We vaccinate all pets for basic vaccines, although we do not vaccinate for Rabies. Our adoptions fees are:

All pet adoption fees are $50 (which helps to reimburse us for vaccinations and medical care, while in our care)

ADOPTERS ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO PRE-PAY FOR THE PET'S SPAY/NEUTER AT A ROSWELL VET (to be performed before being released to the adopter's home-no exceptions). Make sure to mention that you are adopting a pet from us, so you may receive a discount on the surgery! We take the adopted pet to your vet for the surgery, and you may pick up your new pet from the vet, after the surgery is completed. ADOPTION GUIDELINES:

All dogs must have fenced yards(appropriate for that size dog), and we DO check. All cats adopted must be strickly indoor cats. All pets (even young pups/kits) are spayed or neutered before going into their new home, no exceptions. If you have other dogs, you must bring your other pets to have a meet & greet here at the kennels. We are not funded by any city, county, state, or federal entity. We are totally funded by donations
only. We are always in desperate need of donations to keep us afloat. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP, PLEASE DONATE THROUGH OUR FUNDRZR APP THROUGH FACEBOOK OR ON OUR WEBSITE AT WWW.ROSWELLHUMANE.ORG

We are in need of more Kuranda beds for our resident dogs! These are raised beds that are very sturdy and get the dogs off the cold, hard floor. Please visit this link to purchase one! They will be sent to us to assemble! www.kuranda.com/donate/4406/wishlist

Meet Badger! From a rough start to a beautiful new beginning! Badger is a one year old Heeler mix who came into our care quite battered, covered in fleas, and with cuts all over. But look at him now! Badger is fully healed up, healthy, and showing everyone his true colors. Despite his tough past, he is the absolute sweetest and most loving boy ever. He seems to hold zero grudges and has an endless supply of love to give. Badger is officially ready to find his forever family!

Ruby has completely stolen our hearts with her sweet, gentle, and shy disposition. While she takes a little bit of time to open up and get to know you, she is an absolute gem once she does! She is house-trained, walks beautifully on a leash, and gets along with other dogs. Ruby would make an amazing, loyal companion for anyone looking to add a truly wonderful dog to their life.🐾💕

Meet Mork! This resilient little guy came to us in September alongside his sister, Mindi. Both arrived in incredibly poor condition. Mork’s skin was a total mess from a severe, long-term flea infestation that had clearly been left untreated for a very long time. But look at him now! Thanks to a lot of love and proper care, Mork is doing much better and is officially ready to find his forever home. He is a sweet boy and so deserving of a family who will cherish him forever.

This precious, four month old pup is Blue Ivy. She is a petite little heeler that was a bit camera shy. If you love heelers, you know they are working dogs that have lots of energy and need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. You also know how intelligent and loyal they are too! Blue Ivy is a sweet girl that would love a home of her own.

Meet our sweet girl, Leona! This darling pup came to us back in August and is now four months old. Leona is what we like to call a “supermutt” - a beautiful blend of mystery! Looking at her, you’ll see the adorable fluff of a Pomeranian mixed with the striking colors of a Shepherd. While her exact breed mix might be a mystery, her temperament certainly isn’t. She is an absolute doll who is ready to bring a lifetime of love to her forever family! If you’re interested in making Leona a part of your family, visit our website at roswellhumane.org to read about our adoption policies and process.

UPDATE: Thanks to two very special angels on Earth - Sam and Cody Carey, we now have the puppy. They were able to catch the pup (with the help of some treats!). Thank you so much, Sam and Cody!!! He’ll go to the veterinarian tomorrow to see what’s wrong with his leg. We’ll keep you posted!

Is there anyone that could go look for this pup that seems to have been dumped out at the corner of East Grand Plains Rd and Graves Road? Apparently, he has a limp and is very frightened. We were also told he was seen hiding behind a big log on the north east corner of Graves and EGP. We don’t have anyone that can go look for him right now so hoping someone can.

It doesn’t get any cuter than this! 🐾 Say hello to Mindi, a resilient little girl who is officially ready to find her forever home. Mindi and her brother, Mork, didn’t have the easiest start in life. They arrived in very poor physical condition, but thanks to a lot of love, care, and medical attention, they have made an amazing transformation! Now that the fleas are gone and their skin is healing, they are feeling so much better and their happy, loving personalities are truly shining through. Mindi is completely ready to turn the page and start her next chapter with a family of her own!
