PAW Portales Animal Welfare Organization's adoption process

Additional adoption info

To go through our adoption process you must sit down for 2 meet and greets. One at the foster home one at a public park or nutral territory with any other animals you have. Then we do adoption paperwork, followed by a home visit. After we complete these simple and mostly fun steps you take home your new family member with no worries!!

Our contract entitles:
Spay or Neuter,
Vaccinations,
and a minimum donation amount of 50 dollas.
The cost of each pet is based soley on the time spent in the rescue, amount of heath care recieved, and their location. (pound or foster family)
Any animal in the pound will have a DOGGY DISCOUNT of 50%!! Which could mean 25 dollars for a PUREBRED DOG!!

PAW Portales Animal Welfare Organization's adopted pets

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Portales, NM.

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.
