Rio Rancho Animal Control

Rio Rancho animal control is anything but… We have called this place several times regarding nuisance dogs and all they do is drive by the neighborhood drive in front of the house issue citation or two they do nothing about nuisance animals. Absolutely nothing… How many times does a person have to call regarding the same to massive dogs terrorizing the neighborhood and they do absolutely nothing. They took one look at the dogs and they haven’t bothered the dogs at all. Two decent size animal control officers and they can’t be bothered to handle or control animals. What exactly is their role as animal CONTROL officers. Useless!

I had to take a dog in as it showed up to our home and unfortunately, could not keep her as we have our own dogs and figured the owners would locate her there. Initially the staff was helpful and provided information. The dog was very sweet and well mannered (knew sit and other basic commands), as well as, passed temperament testing. I offered to pay the adoption fee. I visited regularly and interacted with staff. I asked to be notified if there was risk for being euthanized due to being there too long and the kennel supervisor had agreed and assured they work with other rescues to place if the dog is not being adopted. Initially he would answer my calls and update me and eventually I started to be ignored. I was committed if euthanasia was going to be an issue to work harder to find an alternative placement for her individually. I found out this morning none of that happened and the dog was euthanized last week.

I got my puppy from Rio Rancho Animal Control back in 2021. The staff was incredibly kind, my dog had been returned by his previous owners and the lady that helped me was so empathetic and loving towards him. You can tell they really care and love their animals. The adoption process was incredibly easy!

The people working here were very knowledgeable! We mentioned to them what we were looking for in a dog and they were able to help! They also have a spot where you can have a “meet and greet.” Highly recommend!

Seeing the amount of abandoned dogs at this shelter was heartbreaking. Yet the staff was knowledgeable, kind and wonderful. My dog and I were searching to find a friend. From the wonderful welcome at the reception desk to the dog savvy manager and the kind young man who worked so beautifully with each dog I was impressed to see them work. There isn’t enough staff (no one applies) and the animal shelters are maxed out but I will never forget my morning there!
