As the end of 2024 is approaching, we are reflecting on all of this year’s achievements and progress won to protect animals in New Mexico, as well as feeling gratitude to all those who make our work possible. The winter holidays provide the perfect time to pause, recharge, and spend time with loved ones before embarking on the new year.
The offices of APNM and APV will be closed from December 25 through January 1.
We will respond to calls and messages after we reopen Thursday, January 2.
Some APNM service programs will be closed earlier—here is more information:

We look forward to returning in 2025 to keep fighting for animals and all of the New Mexicans who love and care for them. We wish you a happy holiday season and thank you for your support of APNM, APV, and the animals of New Mexico.
