New Mexico Pets ALIVE! (NMPA!) is a private, nonprofit animal welfare organization serving people, pets, animal control depts, rescue groups and shelters in New Mexico. Our current programs and those in development include: informational and programmatic services for NM animal control depts, agencies and shelters to help them increase the save rates of our companion animals, The LifeRaft Lodge, Albuquerque Pets Alive!, Santa Fe Pets Alive! and Bernalillo County Pets Alive! , Pet Calendar New Mexico, Save New Mexico Pets and the annual Western States No-Kill Conference.

Inspired by the past 10+ years of success of our neighboring states achieving No-Kill communities (saving all healthy and treatable companion animals entering animal control and private and municipal shelters - 90% - 97% of intake), we are embarking upon one the largest companion animal life-saving efforts in New Mexico's history.  With the help of some of the most successful veterinarians, behaviorists, rescue group and shelter leaders across North America, achieving upwards of 97% save/live release rates for their communities' lost and homeless pets, we are developing and delivering informational and programmatic resources to help New Mexico achieve this same level of success.

We need your help to deliver this information and programming to New Mexico for the benefit of New Mexico's companion animals, pet guardians and our communities as a whole.  NMPA is currently an all volunteer run effort and we need your help to make the largest positive impact. You can volunteer, donate or become one of our future staff members to help us achieve success as quickly as possible.

Today, we are fortunate to now have more than 34 economically, socially and culturally diverse communities across the United States who have achieved No-Kill success, with many more communities on the verge of doing the same.  Here in New Mexico, we have wonderful rescue groups and animal welfare organizations but we did not have an organization to speak to how we can duplicate this same level of success in our animal control departments and shelters across NM so that, along with a life changing event, is how New Mexico Pets ALIVE! was founded the end of May, 2011. 

There is nothing easy about what we are embarking upon but inspired by the work of the No Kill Advocacy Center and the No-Kill communities across the US, we are extremely grateful to be able to help duplicate the success of others rather than re-invent the wheel. Join us in helping to bring about needed positive changes for our people and our pets.

Pets have improved the quality of life for so many.  We can do the same for them!

We want companion animals to be living very different lives across the state of New Mexico from what they are living today.  We want each of them who needs a home to have a caring and compassionate forever home.  What is No Kill?  No Kill is not a literal term as some mistakenly suggest.  A community reaches No Kill status when every healthy and treatable pet entering private and municipal animal shelters across New Mexico makes it out ALIVE!  (That equates to a life saving rate of a minimum of 90% of all companion animals entering every private and municipal shelter across New Mexico.)  We then want New Mexico to lead the way for the rest of the country in its delivery of creative and 21st century solutions for long term, homeless pet challenges.

How Will We Get There?

• By helping animal control departments, animal welfare organizations, animal shelters and animal lovers and animal advocates learn about and comprehensively implement both proven and new solutions in development all across the United States. 
  
• We will work in unison with all groups who are working toward the greater cause of companion animal life-saving and long-term, 21st century solutions for our homeless pet challenges.
  
• New Mexico Pets ALIVE! will also comprehensively implement the No Kill Equation and beyond, in its own developing programs, projects and efforts: http://www.nokilladvocacycenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/nokill101.pdf
