Los Alamos County Animal Shelter — Local services in Los Alamos

In the couple of experiences with the animals shelter I have had, I would describe them as good for sure.

About 14 years ago we had to find homes for 2 of our pups. At the time the help there were a couple of women and I believe a man, none of which I can remember their names sadly.

Thank you Paul and...

She should not be in employment where she's serving the public, and some of her actions are even detrimental to the hopes of the animal finding a new loving home, which was our intent by...

Everything advertised about this shelter is incorrect. When I called to find out about their partner spay program, the Person answering the phone and the other person yelling at. Them knew nothing about anything. The 2 people yelling across the room at each other. Could not answer any of my questions or give me any guidance about spaying or adoption. It's advertised as a no-kill shelter and the person I spoke with said this is untrue. They only take animals from Los Alamos nd not any other areas. They are a kill shelter. They do not partner with any local or non-local vets for spaying/neutering programs. Very...
