Deming-Luna County Humane Society, under an annually negotiated agreement with the city of Deming, assists in both animal control and the city shelter for dogs, cats, and potbellied pigs. The not for profit organization, at their own expense, is allowed to keep adoptable animals longer than mandated minimums, operate a pet cemetery for public use, arrange adoptions, and use the shelter office as their headquarters.
