The Animal Welfare Department is seeking donations of new or gently used dog houses to help pet owners who need assistance during the cold winter months. Medium to large-sized dog houses are needed most, and can be custom-built if you’re handy with hammer and nails.

You can drop off doghouse donations at the Eastside Shelter, 8920 Lomas NE or at the Westside Shelter, 11800 Sunset Gardens SW, any day between 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. For more information, contact Allen Hargis at: ahargis@cabq.gov
