Animal Control
The Los Alamos Animal Shelter continues to provide high-quality care for the animals in their care. The Staff at the Animal Shelter love animals, and it is easy to see that from the care they take for every animal at the shelter. The Los Alamos Animal Shelter works tirelessly to ensure that every animal is given much-needed enrichment, exercise, and socialization. This is possible in no small part due to the wonderful group of volunteers at the Los Alamos Animal Shelter.
Mission
To provide all animals in our care with the 5 freedoms of animal welfare. Freedom from hunger, thirst, and malnutrition, freedom from discomfort and exposure, freedom from pain, injury, and disease, freedom from fear and distress, and freedom to express normal and natural behavior. To provide our community with support for animal care and control, animal rescue and rehabilitation, and to place adoptable pets in forever homes.
Animals
The shelter provides all medical needs and testing along with conducting behavior tests on animals prior to adoption. To prevent adoption for breeding purposes and to reduce the animal population, the Animal Shelter only adopts spay and neutered animals. The Shelter arranges the fostering animals for both short and long-term needs, socializing animals, advertising, and adopting animals from the shelter as well as several off-site adoption events. Employees ensure erichment is done for the animal
