The Ultimate Guide to Pets in Las Cruces

Do you have a furry, four-legged, or feathered pet that feels like part of the family? Pets are an important part of many of our lives and we want to give them the best possible care. We’ve put together this ultimate guide to help you find all the resources in Las Cruces you need to pamper your pets.

Day camps

Day camps are great for pets whose parents work long hours or who need lots of extra socialization and stimulation during the day. You can drop your pup off in the morning and pick them up at the end of the day. Day camps can provide constant attention plus interaction with other dogs.

Here are some of the top pet day camp spots in Las Cruces:

Old Mesilla Kennel
Doggie Dude Ranch and Cat Farm
Mesilla Valley Pet Resort

Boarding

If you’re planning a vacation or have to travel for work, finding care for your pet is important. Some pets don’t like to travel long distances or need careful medical care that is hard to give on the road. Pet boarding is like a hotel for pets where your fur-children will be taken care of while you’re away. Some boarding businesses will even pick up and drop off your pets for you.

Give back

Las Cruces Pets Ultimate Guide | Steinborn Real EstateIf you’re interested in getting more involved in the pet community, consider how you can give back and help out pets in need.

  • Become a pet foster parent. When abandoned animals are rescued, they need temporary homes to take care of them until they can be adopted. You can sign up to be a volunteer pet foster parent with Action Program for Animals and make a difference in the life of a needy pet.
  • Donate pet food. Have some extra pet food you don’t need? Animal shelters are always looking for donations to help them care for animals. The Animal Service Center of the Mesilla Valley even has a wish list of the most helpful donations you can give.
  • Volunteer. The Safe Haven Animal Sanctuary relies on volunteers to keep running. Volunteers must be at least 16 years old and be able to make a three-month commitment.
