My mission is for the state of New Mexico to change its laws regarding the safety and well being of dogs in this State.<br />
Bernalillo County has instituted laws that makes it unlawful to chain (tether) dogs outside, among other laws that protect the well being of animals, while the state hasn't. Not only does this cause confusion, its simply wrong that we arent protecting our animals from abuse in New Mexico. The fact that its ok to have sex with an animal in New Mexico speaks for itself. New Mexico Ranks in the bottom again for allowing animal abuse. <a href="http://aldf.org/staterankings/" rel="nofollow nofollow" style="background-color: white; color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;" target="_blank">http://aldf.org/staterankings/</a><br />

Bernalillo took action and implemented changes in August of 2014.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">Bernalillo law now states the following:</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: #262e3b; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">“The new animal care ordinance shows the county’s continuing
commitment for the animals that are part of our county community,” says
Commissioner Art De La Cruz. “Humane treatment of animals is the expectation of
all pet and animal owners and Bernalillo County will hold accountable those who
mistreat their animals.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>OCT 18 2014 UPDATE:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<span style="font-size: small;">Nmdog.org was able to retrieve the chain from the owners. Also they fixed the fence and put straw in the igloo dog house. Spayed and neutered was also talk about and I think the owners of the dogs will take the free offering. I was able to meet the owners and well and see that things have approved with the dogs greatly. Now lets make it against the law to use such chains.</span><br />
