Hugo

Hello! My name is Hugo!

Here’s what my friends at Española Humane say about me:

- Meet this amazing trio of lovable pups who were left to fend for themselves across the street, but now they're ready for a second chance at life! After weeks of patiently trying to catch them, we were finally able to bring them to safety. These sweet dogs have been through a lot, but despite their rough start, they are incredibly friendly and full of love. They simply need the right family to show them the compassion and care they've never known. Despite their past, they are still trusting and eager to connect with humans. They may be a little shy or hesitant at first, but once they know they're safe, they'll shower you with unconditional love. These dogs are looking for a loving home that will offer patience, kindness, and stability as they adjust to their new lives. They deserve a home where they can experience the love and security they've been missing. They are looking for A family or individual who has time to give them the attention they deserve. They would do well in a home where they can feel safe and loved, with a family who understands that it may take time for them to fully trust and settle in. Whether you're looking for a trio to adopt or willing to give one of these sweet souls a forever home, they promise to bring nothing but joy, loyalty, and gratitude once they've found their place with you.

If you're ready to offer a loving home and help these dogs experience the warmth and care they've been waiting for, please reach out! These pups are ready to begin their new chapter, and they can't wait to share it with you.

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.

Latest Mews that’s Begging for Attention.

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.
