It’s a good time to be in the doghouse.
The Animal Welfare Department is hosting a doghouse drive as temperatures cool in Albuquerque. The department is accepting new or gently used medium and large doghouses to replenish the supply for animal protection officers as part of the community dog house program. The houses bring relief to pet owners who need assistance during winter months.
Those interested in supporting the Dog House Drive can do so in the following ways:
- Drop off a doghouse at the Animal Welfare Department Westside shelter at 11800 Sunset Gardens Road SW or Eastside shelter on 8920 Lomas Blvd. NE.
- Make a cash donation at the city shelters.
- Donate via PayPal through Albuquerque Kennel Kompadres.
Checks should be made out to Albuquerque Kennel Kompadres and state that the donation goes to Dog house Drive. Checks can be dropped off at the city shelters or mailed to Kennel Kompadres at 139 Palacio Road, Corrales, NM 87048.
If you are donating a doghouse but cannot transport it, email ahargis@cabq.gov .
