About Us
PACA / AAR was started in 1973 and is the oldest no-kill dog and cat rescue group in New Mexico. Our main focus is abandoned, neglected, unwanted, and abused cats and dogs. We provide all needed medical care or surgeries, spay/neuter, vaccines and microchips. We provide a safe haven until an adoptive home is found through our foster-based program. This allows our animals to be in a home environment, giving us the opportunity to assess their personalities and specific needs. This process gives us the ability to place the animal in the “right” adoptive home by matching the needs of the adoptive person or family with the most suitable animal available.
