Pet Policy

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, in 2012 New Mexico ranked second in the nation for pet ownership with 67% of the state's households owning a dog or cat. However, finding pet-friendly apartment communities in Albuquerque can be difficult, and finding those that accept large dogs next to impossible. But here at Mission Hill Apartments, we get it. We understand how important it is to have our pets with us - they are family. That's why Mission Hill Apartments offers pet-friendly apartments for responsible pet owners! We love your pets as much as we love our own.

At Mission Hill Apartments not only will your pet find a warm, spacious apartment to call home, they'll also be able to take advantage of many of the great amenities within and around our community - including Mission Hill's two large grass courtyards, the Foothills Open Space and the popular City of ABQ Los Altos Dog Park, only 5 minutes away. We're also seconds from Clark's Pet Supply (Menaul & Juan Tabo), and a few short minutes from Pet Vet Market (Eubank & Candelaria), Petco (Eubank & Lomas), and PetSmart (Eubank & I-40).

We encourage you to adopt a dog or cat and living at Mission Hill Apartments places you near both adoption centers. Visit Lucky Paws at Coronado Center, near Western Warehouse & Kohl's, or click here to search for an adoptable pet. You may also visit the Animal Humane Adoption & Training Center at 9132 Montgomery Blvd. NE, one half-mile west of Eubank. The adoption center is open 10:00 am - 6:00 pm daily. Check out Animal Humane's website where you can browse through pets available for adoption.

Please note, the City of Albuquerque requires all dogs and cats have a current license and microchip. For assistance visit their website, where you can license your dog or cat and update your data. View the new HEART Ordinance on the City of Albuquerque's website.

Mission Hill Apartments reminds you to change your license and microchip contact information when you move.

Pet owners who lose an animal should contact the Albuquerque Animal Care Center (AACC) at (505) 768-1975 and report the loss within 24 hours. To search for a lost pet click here. To look up license information on any dog or cat visit PetData.
