Von
Hello! My name is Von!
Here’s what my friends at Española Humane say about me:
- We don't know about Von's life before he came to us, but judging by his physical appearance, we can hazard a guess. His teeth are worn down, as if he was kept in a kennel and chewed the metal, his skin and ears are in rough shape, likely from a poor diet as well as being attacked by another dog. If that weren't enough, he's also partially deaf and heartworm positive! But despite it all, this handsome boy has been nothing but sweet and gentle with everyone, from strangers to vets, from day one. With a healthy diet, heartworm treatment (performed by us, at no cost to the adopter), a soft bed to sleep on, and a ton of love, Von is sure to have a glow-up for the record books. Come meet him today, whether you're interested in fostering or adopting!
If you’re interested in adopting me, fill out an application to get a jump start on the process! We don’t offer holds on shelter pets, so c’mon in to meet and greet to decide if you’ve met your match. Applications for pets in foster care, at Ojo Santa Fe, or offsite in other programs will be reviewed by staff before appointments are scheduled.

Española Humane
Española Humane offers free services and innovative programs to help suffering pets in underserved communities. For over three decades, we have managed an open-door shelter that welcomes every animal without charge because we believe the most humane approach is to never turn away an animal in need. Spay/neuter access is critical to our mission, and our clinic is completely free to pets in Española, Rio Arriba County, and the surrounding Pueblos.
We’re determined to make a lasting difference and to squeeze every penny out of each donated dollar: 89% of your gift goes directly to the animals.
Shelter & Adoptions
Spay Neuter Clinic
Become a foster superhero.
Fostering can be as easy as having a litter of young ones in a spare bathroom before they go to an adoption event. Or, maybe you’d like an adult to spend time with your family, just to see how that pet transforms with a little love and attention. We promise it’ll be rewarding.
Join our team of volunteers
Volunteers help every facet of our work, from support at the shelter to helping with adoption events to assistance with animal transport. We provide the training and the welcoming environment. Meet new people, learn new skills, and feel good about helping animals.
Need help finding your pet?
80% of pets are found within a mile of where they went missing. Start searching right away and use printed flyers so people can call you with sightings. An ID tag or microchip will make it a lot easier to find your pet. Hopefully, they’ve already been found and are at our shelter.
