Areas Gentle Souls Sanctuary, Inc. serves

We are a rescue, not an open admission animal shelter. Our animals have been pulled from death row at municipal shelters Albuquerque and McKinley County, New Mexico, therefore our adoption policy is strict.

Gentle Souls Sanctuary, Inc.'s adoption process

Additional adoption info

We require home checks, background checks, a 2 week trial adoption or foster to adopt and our fee is $225. This includes 6 weeks of dog training. We will require approval in writing from your landlord, and confirmation that your homeowner's policy does not have breed restrictions. We believe animals are family members and must not be kept outdoors or tied up. When you adopt a new family member, it is a commitment for life. Pets are not disposable.

About Gentle Souls Sanctuary, Inc.

We are a New Mexico registered non profit corporation. We are a NOT FOR profit rescue for pit bull type dogs and other targeted and misunderstood breeds, especially deaf bully breeds. We are a network of foster homes, building the foundations for a sanctuary/halfway house in Northern New Mexico. Our current focus is fighting breed discriminatory legislation & widening our network of foster homes to keep bully breed dogs out of kill shelters.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
