We are a non-profit animal shelter, located in Roswell, NM--the UFO Capital of the World!

We take in thousands of animals every year. We house stray animals and re-home pets given up by owners, that are placed in our care. We are NOT a no-kill shelter, but we keep our pets as long as humanly possible. We are a limited entry shelter. We have to adopt pets before we bring in any new pets. We vaccinate all pets for basic vaccines, although we do not vaccinate for Rabies. Our adoptions fees are:

All pet adoption fees are $50 (which helps to reimburse us for vaccinations and medical care, while in our care)

ADOPTERS ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO PRE-PAY FOR THE PET'S SPAY/NEUTER AT A ROSWELL VET (to be performed before being released to the adopter's home-no exceptions). Make sure to mention that you are adopting a pet from us, so you may receive a discount on the surgery! We take the adopted pet to your vet for the surgery, and you may pick up your new pet from the vet, after the surgery is completed. ADOPTION GUIDELINES:

All dogs must have fenced yards(appropriate for that size dog), and we DO check. All cats adopted must be strickly indoor cats. All pets (even young pups/kits) are spayed or neutered before going into their new home, no exceptions. If you have other dogs, you must bring your other pets to have a meet & greet here at the kennels. We are not funded by any city, county, state, or federal entity. We are totally funded by donations
only. We are always in desperate need of donations to keep us afloat. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP, PLEASE DONATE THROUGH OUR FUNDRZR APP THROUGH FACEBOOK OR ON OUR WEBSITE AT WWW.ROSWELLHUMANE.ORG

We are in need of more Kuranda beds for our resident dogs! These are raised beds that are very sturdy and get the dogs off the cold, hard floor. Please visit this link to purchase one! They will be sent to us to assemble! www.kuranda.com/donate/4406/wishlist

A new addition to our Roswell Humane Society family - Rocky, a Shih Tzu mix, came in desperately needing a “makeover” and he got one. Thank you, Samantha, for doing such a great job! Rocky was such a good boy! He will have to stay in our quarantine area until he is fully vaccinated so we will let you know when he is ready for adoption.

How is this precious, sweet girl still waiting for her forever home?
Chloe is a two year old Dachshund mix who has been with us since June, and we are completely baffled that she hasn’t been swept up yet. She is as sweet as can be and loves every person she meets. Spread the word - Chloe needs a loving home!

We have REALLY BIG NEWS! Sanford has officially found his forever home!

When Sanford first came to the Roswell Humane Society in 2024, his appearance told a heartbreaking story.
He arrived with cuts, abrasions, and a deeply bruised heart - it was clear he had lived a very rough life. He was paralyzed by fear, terrified of every sound, movement, and person he encountered.
But our staff and volunteers knew that underneath that fear was a dog desperate to be loved. It took months of quiet patience and steady care to slowly earn his trust.

Today, those months of hard work turned into the ultimate reward. Sanford walked out our doors with the family he waited years to find.

His journey is a reminder to never give up hope. Sanford never did and now he gets to live the spoiled, peaceful life he always deserved.

Meet Mowgli! This handsome 5-year-old boy is looking for his ultimate forever home, and he is guaranteed to bring a whole lot of love into your life - literally!
This big guy was weighing 20 pounds when he came to us. He’s currently on a wellness journey to shed a few of those pounds, so he’ll need a family dedicated to helping him reach his fitness goals. On top of his impressive size, Mowgli is a tripod (three-legged) kitty! While we don’t know the story behind the old injury that led to his missing leg, it doesn’t stop him from being an absolutely stunning, sweet, and unique companion. Mowgli is ready to leave his past behind and find a family to cherish him forever.

We are SO excited to share great news with our friends and followers! Logan, who has been with us since the beginning of May, has been adopted! He has been such a good boy while he patiently waited for his turn to find his forever home! Congratulations, Logan! 🐾💕
