Animal Village NM

Helped with dog and cat food till my payday next week! Great place for a little bit of help.

There is both good and bad in this world and I can tell you that AVNM falls under the “good” category. Let’s take that a step further and call it “divine.” Based on my experience with adopting and volunteering with this organization I can say firsthand that AVNM is all about the animals first and foremost. Sunny the director cares for each and every rescue here like they are her own children and ensures that these delightful creatures find the very best homes. I was blessed to have adopted my divine soul dog through AVNM and they saved her and her beautiful puppies from a horrendous situation. The advantage of adopting animal companions from an organization such as this is that they do the initial dirty work that goes along with rescuing an animal from a bad situation. They know each and every animal very well and can help to match them with the right person or family. AVNM is one of the few truly divine places I have been involved with in my lifetime where every aspect of operations here is to help innocent animals and give them better lives. Keep up the amazing work AVNM! You have saved many animals and people for that matter in the process!

Animal Village NM is a wonderful animal rescue organization. They have a beautiful facility. They have a phone number and they answer it, which in itself is unusual nowadays; at least that has been my experience. I inquired about a dog I had seen on their website and he was still available. The online application for adoption was thorough and showed they really care about who adopts their animals. I submitted it and in less than 24 hours I was approved to adopt. It was a four hour drive to get to the shelter, but totally worth it because we came home with Charlie, an amazing 6 month old puppy. Raised on Science Diet puppy food and supplemented with flax seed meal, blue green algae and salmon oil, Charlie has the softest coat imaginable and a sweet smell. He is a real love bug!

We adopted a senior dog with Cushings disease and we were very impressed with the shelter and how well Sunny and the staff care for their animals. I had to fill out a detailed adoption application and when I met our new family member I understood how careful Sunny is about making sure that the animals are going to a new home that can care for them and give them the love they deserve. I have recommendednAnimal Village to people who want to adopt. I'm so glad we chose to adopt from Animal Village.

If you spend more than 2 minutes with Sunny, you'll be able to tell how much she cares about these animals. She toils around the clock to make sure local dogs are taken care of; additionally, she goes above and beyond when it comes to finding homes for these dogs. She thoroughly vets (no pun intended) potential owners to make sure they will care for and love the dogs as they deserved to be.
