Animal Control

Isleta Animal Control

As Certified Animal Control Officers, our goal is to protect animals from neglect and abuse, protect Isleta Pueblo residents and visitors from injury and annoyance by animals, promote health, safety and welfare of the Isleta Pueblo residents and animals, assist in providing control of animals, establish fees for matters under the Ordinance and set penalties for violation of the Ordinance.

Statistics

Since the beginning of the year, Animal Control has transported well over 100 animals to the Valencia County Animal Shelter.  Only 5% of the animals that are taken to the shelter are reclaimed by their owners.  About 13% are adopted by a new family.  Approximately 33% of the animals are sent to various “rescue” organizations and about 49% are euthanized at the shelters discretion.  Puppies and kittens make up 33% of the euthanized animals.  This is why it is important to call Animal Control immediately if your pet has gone missing.

News and Events

Notice:

Pueblo of Isleta community members:

Animal Control has a limited amount of Grass mix for your outside pets. The Grass mix can be used as insulation inside their outside houses or as a barrier between the animal’s body and direct contact from the freezing ground.

We encourage everyone to ensure their outside pets have adequate shelter, food, water, and other necessities during the cold days and nights.  If you require assistance, need advice or have questions about winter weather conditions in regard to animals, please do not hesitate to give us a call at (505) 869-7564.

If you know someone that requires *assistance with their animals and want to remain anonymous, please let us know at the number above.  We are committed in helping and serving the communities of the Pueblo.

Thank you
