Animal Protection of New Mexico is pleased to announce publication of its new, statewide directory of low-cost and free spay/neuter resources. Months in the making, our handy reference guide is now available online at
apnm.org/spayneuter.
It's no secret that
dog and cat overpopulation in New Mexico is a tragic and costly problem. In 2007 alone, over 133,000 dogs and cats entered 35 public and private shelters in this state. During that year, 67,000 of those animals had to be euthanized, because there are simply not enough homes available.
Spaying and neutering is the number one solution to reducing the horrific numbers. Please support your local programs by volunteering, donating and getting the word out. You can also help by ordering
New Mexico's spay/neuter license plate for your car!
Animal Protection of New Mexico works year-round to provide resources that make a difference for animals in each and every community in our state.
Please donate today to help us continue our important mission.

Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry said what needed to be said at his press conference on February 23: "We simply cannot adopt our way out of these problems. We need a robust spay/neuter program." Animal Protection of New Mexico applauds Mayor Berry for recognizing the severity of Albuquerque's dog and cat overpopulation problem. His continued commitment to effective solutions sets an excellent example for other communities in the state.
