My name is Dusty!

After applying for an adoptable animal we screen all adopters via application, phone interview and meet/greet. Once that has gone through we will schedule a home visit to ensure everyone is happy with their decision. If the home visit goes well and the adopter wants to move forward we will leave the pet in their possession and allow them to "foster" for up to two weeks to make their final decision. If the decision is to adopt, we will finalize paperwork, collect the adoption fee, and transfer all information to the new adopters.

All fees are currently waived due to overwhelming numbers in the shelter. Sandoval County Animal Services is contained within the County’s Community Services Department, where we work in partnership with the Sherriff’s Office. We are committed to ensuring only the highest level of quality care and compassion is provided for all impounded pets.
