You may purchase a 1 or 3 year license depending on the duration of the animal's rabies shot. Fixed animals cost $3.00 for 1 year and $8.00 for 3 years. Intact animals cost $20.00 for 1 year and $54.00 for 3 years. A copy of your pet's CURRENT rabies vaccination must be given in order to purchase a license.

Yes, but funding must be obtained for each day the clinic is here. Friends of the Estancia Valley typically organizes at least one on a weekend in the early summer. Town of Edgewood residents receive priority. Please contact us at 505-926-9013 for more information as slots are limited.
Contact us immediately. If the animal has a preexisting sickness or ailment form our shelter we can, most often, offer financial assistance for treatment and medication. You will also have the option of returning or exchanging the animal with another one of our adoptables.
Yes, you may certainly bring the animal back to our shelter. If there is another animal which may work better for you, we can most often do an exchange. However, the adoption fee is NON-refundable.
Yes, we have traps for dogs, cats, skunks, and small wildlife. You must be a town resident in order to check out a trap. There is no serve fee for checking out a trap, but we do require a check-out sheet be signed. We will show you how to operate the trap and give you tips for bait beforehand.
When you catch the animal, please call us and we'll pick it up. Please be aware to keep the trap CLOSED over holidays and weekends, as we will be closed and not available to pick up the animal. Stray cats and dogs caught in traps are taken to our shelter and impounded, whereas wildlife is re-released in a remote area.
Traps are subject to availability and you may be put on a wait list if there is high demand. The normal check out period is 2 weeks. We may also withhold traps if weather conditions are too inclement.
