Bernalillo County Expands Animal Care

Bernalillo County is investing $2 million to revitalize the old VCA Animal Hospital in South Valley, aiming to wrap up the deal by June. This isn’t just a new building—it’s a strategic expansion to meet soaring demand, offering more adoption space, enhanced veterinary care, and expanded education programs for Northeast Bernalillo County. The move will ease adoption access, boost volunteer opportunities, and bring affordable pet care closer to Albuquerque residents, while revitalizing a long-vacant facility. The existing Second Street Southwest center remains open, but it’s now handling over 6,500 animals annually—far beyond its original capacity of 2,500. This new hub is designed to ensure more animals find loving homes and better support for the community. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
