Viva! NM Rural Animal Rescue is a small animal rescue located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Established in 2012, we work throughout the state of New Mexico to help rural animal shelters lower their euthanasia rates, spread animal care education, and promote overall animal well-being.

We are a foster-based rescue, which means we do not have a brick- and-mortar facility or location. All of our adoptable dogs reside in foster homes where they live as members of the family until they are adopted. At Viva, we are always interested in finding the best possible home for our dogs and will settle for nothing less!
