Chama Valley Humane Society

Founded in 1998, the Chama Valley Humane Society is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) organization supported entirely through fundraising, private donations, and grants.Our mission is to provide no-kill solutions to reduce the population of homeless cats and dogs by sponsoring a spay and neuter program for companion pets and feral cats, working with regional shelters and foster homes to rehabilitate and rehome animals, and educating those in the community we serve about responsible pet ownership.We serve a 600 square mile area of northern Rio Arriba County, New Mexico. We do not have a shelter, but we try to take in all animals we can from the Village of Chama holding facility as well as strays and unwanted animals throughout our region. All rescued animals are fostered locally until they can be adopted or transferred to no- or low-kill shelters or rescues.In addition to rescue and foster, we support the following programs:• A low-cost spay-neuter program for community pet owners• An Angel Fund to help pet owners pay for unexpected veterinarian bills through a no-interest revolving loan• WAG ‘n READ - A Reading Education and Assistance Dogs® program that works in our local schools to strengthen the animal-human bond while enhancing the reading experience for children

Meet Mick

Mick (also known as Home Boy Mick) was left alone after his owner died and the four other dogs and 14 puppies at the house were picked up by animal control. Mick likes people, but was afraid of being collared or trapped. He was finally captured in a group effort and is now in foster. He is a sweet boy who wants to play, but we are working on basics (like getting a collar on him). In a few weeks we hope to have him neutered and ready for his own home. We've been keeping him in a large outside pen and he has been fine interacting with three other dogs through the fence, but really wants to come out and play. Collar first! Mick was great around school-age children and warms up quickly to run up and sniff hands then run away. With some stability, care, and training, Mick will be a great family dog! Please consider him if you are looking for a slightly older pup with a big heart.
