Mayor Tim Keller said, “It’s great to see residents and businesses coming together as One Albuquerque to help save more pets in our community.”

This effort was supported by a generous donation from Clark’s Pet Emporium of $1 for each new LIKE. The campaign helped shine a spotlight on sheltered pets and on Animal Welfare’s many programs and services that benefit homeless pets.

“The response was unbelievable! Thank you to everyone who pitched in, and to Clark’s Pet Emporium for their generous support,” said Adam Ricci, Animal Welfare Department Chief of Field Operations.
