Mission Statement

The Doña Ana County Humane Society (DACHS) is committed to keeping the animals in Doña Ana County out of shelters and into loving homes. No longer acting as the shelter, DACHS became committed to filling in gaps in services within the animal welfare sector and not duplicating services offered by other nonprofit organizations. With more than 20% of Doña Ana County’s population living in poverty, it became apparent that financially under-resourced pet owners were having difficulty paying for their pet’s veterinary treatment, behavior training, and for adoption fees. DACHS strives to keep people and pets together.
