Jemez Valley Animal Amigos

We are a very small no-kill rescue group in the Northern New Mexico Jemez Mountains. We dont' have a shelter, but rely upon foster homes for our rescued animals. We won the NM's Milagro award in 06 for our excellence in direct animal services. While we might be small, we are mighty and impressive in our efforts to better the lives for the animals we take in. Established in 2001, we were incorporated in 2002 in NM as a non-profit and obtained our IRS tax free 501 c 3 status in 2003. Any donations to us are tax deductible.

Additional adoption info

All of our animals are completely cared for with vet services before adopted unless they are too young, i.e., under 6 months old. An application is required that is reviewed by our board for approval before visiting the animal. If there is a match between people, their family, their animals and our animal, then they can take the animal home at that time. We DO require an adoption donation that varies based on the age of the animal and whether the animal has been neutered or not.
