My pet got out of my yard and was picked up by Animal Control. What do I need to do to recover my pet?

Your first step would be to go to Animal Control and identify your pet. After this is done, you will need proof of current rabies vaccination and city license. If your pet is not current on these, you will have to purchase these from Animal Control. If your pet has not been spayed or neutered, you will also have to pay for this procedure to be done, unless your pet is registered by a recognized organization such as the American Kennel Club, United Kennel Club, etc.

Visit Animal Control at: 2910 N Florida Avenue, Alamogordo, NM 88310
