Dalmatian Rescue of New Mexico

We have been in rescue since 1997. Lyn teaches Obedience and plays Agility, Rally, and Nosework, competing with her Dalmatians in Performance sports as well as doing rescue.
We have had more than 600 Dalmatians come through our rescue, usually spending 2-4months in our home. Our Dallys are inside, couch dogs and, while crate trained, spend most of their hours in the house sunning, snoozing, and playing.
We primarily rescue Dalmatians and Dalmatian wanna- be
(Black and white dogs of undetermined breeds) from our Animal Control and other kill shelters around New Mexico, El Paso, and occasionally from individuals.

Rescue FAQs

We accept dogs from anywhere in New Mexico plus El Paso, depending on space available.

Additional adoption info

We require an application, home visit and follow-up visit. Any of our rescues who need re-homing after placement are accepted back into our rescue.
There is an adoption fee of $200-$300 depending upon age, health, purebred or not, etc. to help defray the costs for the dog's medical expenses. Our dogs are spayed/neutered and microchipped. They have been Heart worm tested. They have the necessary vaccinations. They are also housebroken and come with some good manners training.
