Welcome to Dixon Animal Protection Society (DAPS)

Alleviating Animal Overpopulation and Suffering in Northern New Mexico

What is DAPS?

In service since 1981 and officially a 501(c)3 organization since 1997, the ongoing mission of the Dixon Animal Protection Society (DAPS) is to alleviate overpopulation and suffering of animals in northern New Mexico. Mountainous, isolated, underserved by local shelters—these communities and the animals that live there are why DAPS is here to help.
