Adoptions
Our Coalition always has wonderful companion animals available for adoption. Each pet is fully vetted with spay or neuter, vaccines, testing (age appropriate), on preventatives, and microchipped. Any pets that require additional medical services are treated prior to adoption. Our pets come with a full behavior assessment by one of our trained professionals. All pets complete basic home training prior to adoption.
Pet Retention Services
We understand that emergencies arise and unexpected life events happen. Our team is comprised of experienced veterinary technicians, experienced dog groomers, and trained animal handlers. We are knowledgeable in first aid and performing initial examinations. Our professionals can refer you appropriately. We offer assistance with food, pet-friendly housing referrals, spay & neuter, respite care, and much more. The behavior assessment and modification plans are offered free of charge to prevent pets from ending up in local shelters.
Training & Consulting Services
To meet the growing need for Emotional Support Animals (ESA) and Service Animals, we have extended our services to include free training and consulting for those seeking the assistance of a working animal. Our team can guide you through the process of finding the right animal match, preparing you to be a handler, completing the training of your animal, and covering your personal liability.
Our Spay/ Neuter Assistance Program is the most affordable and only full-service option available in the RGV. Check out how our deposits compare to the full price options you pay with some of our competitors.
For more details about the RGV’s only spay/ neuter assistance program, navigate to the appointments page! NKRGV is the only organization that has appointments available within a few weeks. All other options have a 2-3 month waiting list. It is next to impossible to even get a response from other organizations. Save yourself the hassle and stress and sign up for our call back list located on our Facebook page.

**All veterinary clinics provide you with veterinary records and written aftercare instructions.
***It is important to note that Independent Transporters take pets to Mexico and often do not tell you which vet they use, and you are not given any veterinary records. These Independent Transporters are not registered businesses or charities, and they are not exempt from civil liability. Transports that lack proper veterinary inspections, don’t meet the requirements for quarantine, and have unvaccinated pets could result in hefty penalties for pet owners (and possibly the confiscation of your pet). While using twilight to sedate your pet during surgery is not illegal in Mexico and can be acceptable in certain cases such as young male cat neuter whose testicles have descended, it is not necessarily the safest option for other cases. It is much cheaper to use twilight, but your pet is semi-conscious during this procedure. This means they see, hear, and smell everything. Because pets do not understand what is happening to them, this can be very traumatic for your pet. If we use one of our veterinary partners in Mexico, we use full-service (this is why we pay significantly more at our vet).
