Beginning Monday, June 9, the shelter will now be open seven days a week with operational hours of 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and pet viewing from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
'This expansion is about giving every pet in our care the best chance at a loving home,' Director of Animal Welfare Carolyn Ortega stated in a news release. 'Being open seven days a week at both locations allows us to better serve our community and meet the increased needs of the summer season. We're calling on Albuquerque residents to step up — adopt, foster, volunteer, and help us save lives.'
