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 Sombra

Sombra is a 10-year-old blue pit bull terrier who is pretty mellow, knows basic obedience, and prefers mellow companions. His original owner died and the owner's brother took him and another dog, Susie, in. Unfortunately, the brother recently died and these two dogs need a safe place to land. Sombra is up-to-date on vaccinations and has been recently wormed, but he is currently unaltered (we will cover his neuter for anyone willing to take him in). He's a sweet older companion who is house trained and prefers a home without young children (and probably not young dogs). He has had a good cat friend in the past. This is a courtesy posting and we ask that you call Lorina, a relative of the former owner, at 505-415-2832 for more information or to meet Sombra.
