Lucky Paws Adoption Center

See all locations and hours.

Lucky Paws at Coronado Center is a welcoming and pleasant adoption center that showcases wonderful shelter pets available for adoption.

All Lucky Paws pets are spayed or neutered, immunized, microchipped, and ready to go to their new, loving, forever homes. All new pet parents must meet the City of Albuquerque qualified adopter requirements.

Qualified Adopters

Who is a Qualified adopter?

• Must be at least 18 years old
• Has never been convicted of any form of animal cruelty under any law

Holds

Since all Lucky Paws pets are ready and eager to go home, there will be no reserve holds placed on animals; animals go home same day.

Parking

We suggest parking on the southwest side of Boot Barn at Coronado Mall. New pet adopters are not allowed to show off their new friends by walking through the mall. Leaving the mall with your pet is only allowed through the foyer at the south end of the Boot Barn entrance.

Mobile Lucky Paws

Hours and locations vary. See Animal Welfare events for Mobile Lucky Paws locations. Mobile Lucky Paws is not at every event. Please read the event items to make sure Mobile Lucky Paws will be there.

Help Us Spread the Word

• Encourage potential pet adopters to go to Lucky Paws.
