We moved to Placitas New Mexico in 1988 and found that Sandoval County had no Animal Shelter nor did they have an Animal Control Officer. Twenty six years later, they have two Animal Control Officers and still no Animal Shelter. For this reason Placitas Animal Rescue is here, (For The Animals). We started in 1988 from scratch and have grown to having 52 Wild Mustangs, 60 Dogs and 17 Cats. We receive no help from our Government either monetary or otherwise. Everything we do is from donations from good people like you.
