Adopt a Australian Kelpie in New Mexico

Australian Kelpies are athletic, intelligent herding dogs with seemingly endless stamina. They appear in rescue when their working drive can't be met by typical pet life. A rescued Kelpie thrives with running, agility, or stockwork as part of daily life.

New Mexico has a large rescue dog population, with active organizations in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Las Cruces. Rural and border-region shelters add significantly to the population. A rescued New Mexico dog often comes from a high-need shelter in a state with limited rural infrastructure.
