Sheltering
The Animal Services Center has kenneling contracts with the City of Las
Cruces and Doña Ana County. Any stray or owner relinquished
animals that are picked up by these government animal control officers
are brought to the Animal Services Center of the Mesilla Valley for care and safety.
- Strays that are brought in without identification are held for
72 hours.
- Animals with identification, tags, or microchip are held for
five days while an attempt is made to use the identification information
to contact owners.
- The general public may also bring strays they have found directly
to the shelter and owners may relinquish their pets to the ASCMV.

to the community.
