When you look at this picture one of the things you might notice right after these two cute faces, is the bare concrete floor.  Our shelter is in need of some of the off the floor beds that are easy to keep clean.  You can order from Walmart on line by clicking one this ORDER BED FOR SHELTER PET.   Our shelter is one of the cleanest I have ever seen and all the dogs and cats that are here deserve a forever home and family but the sad truth is …. that may not happen for many of them.  The least we can do is offer a soft clean place to rest for the time they are there.  Let’s all pitch in and order one.  You can pick it up in store at Walmart and deliver to the shelter.  They are on sale now for $29.99 and free shipping!

The Portales Animal Shelter is clean and warm with food and water for everyone but…. It is not a home. For many of the dogs it is a very noisy and scary place and it shows in their faces as they look at you. Many of them have had pretty rough lives before ending up here and that shows in their faces as well as they try to determine if you are a good person or a bad person, they are just not sure at first. 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.

Animal Shelter is open:
Monday – Friday from 9:00 am – 4:30 PM
Closed on Saturday, Sundays and City Holidays
The Portales Police Department provides full-service animal control to all residents within the Portales city limits. Animal Control Officers attend state certification classes and are trained to handle calls for service that involve domestic animals or wildlife.

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.
