We had an opportunity to help five local pets receive spay or neuter surgeries LAST THURSDAY- APRIL 9TH!
📍
Next Registration Event: Tuesday, May 12, 2026 📍 Location: White Sands Mall
This opportunity is available to eligible pet guardians presenting EBT or Medicaid card.
For a $65 co-pay, pets receive a complete prevention package including:
-
Spay or neuter surgery
-
Rabies vaccination (if needed)
-
Microchip (if needed)
Each pet returns to the community sterilized, vaccinated, and identifiable. This helps improve return-to-owner rates, reduces animal control crowding,
and reduces taxpayer costs.
⏳ First come, first served. Please arrive early.

For the last 7 years we've been partnering with Funds2Orgs to help raise money for Animal Village New Mexico. We earn $1000 every 2500 pairs collected, which funds 25 surgeries every time we do that! It's a lot of work, and we appreciate the help of Christopher Wright of Ruidoso, our Board President, who is now managing this program! Our collection boxes are currently located at the following businesses:
