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 Mia

Mia was rescued from Dulce NM with seven 10-day old pups in tow. She had been a free-roaming dog and was frightened but very sweet even with the little ones, who she was careful with but allowed to be handled. The pups are now weaned and gone, but Mia still needs a home of her own. She has a very sweet disposition but is still unused to many of the things that come with living around people. For example, she is not used to being inside and it may take some time to get her used to being shut inside a house (housebreaking will likely NOT be a problem as long as she is given lots of outside breaks -- she tends to go in the same place in a kennel). She is also unused to leashes and tends to lie down and not move readily when leashed. Mia would be a great outside dog with some good shelter and a large fenced area. She does well with other dogs once she is properly introduced and feels safe. She is spayed and up-to-date with vaccinations. This sweet dog really deserves a home where she can blossom and become the dog she was meant to be.
