This adorable guy is so calm and dignified. The staff says he is a true little gentleman. Please consider giving him a home. Stop by the Portales Animal Shelter and see all the dogs and cats that re looking for home. Glamour Shots Courtesy of Micah Thompson
Please consider volunteering your time if you are able. The shelter always needs an extra pair of hands, dog or cat food, cat litter and cot like dog beds. If you are considering a pet, please go by and look there first. If you pick one to go home with you, please spay or neuter and provide your new friend with lots of love and care. These guys deserve no less.
Animal Shelter is open:
Monday – Friday from 9:00 am – 4:30 PM
Closed on Saturday, Sundays and City Holidays

All dogs and cats kept within the city limits must get a Portales city license. This license can be picked up at the Animal Shelter. Owners should bring proof of vaccination for their pet(s). The license costs $5.00 per year. In addition to the individual animal registration, Animal Control is responsible for issuing Domestic Livestock, Residential Multi-Animal and Commercial Permits.
