Is your pet the next internet star?
Think your dog’s the cutest on the block? Got a cat with a serious fashion game? Maybe your pet has a one-of-a-kind costume or a quirky trick that melts hearts.

“Since being crowned Miss New Mexico 2024, my mission has been to be a ‘voice for the voiceless.’ As a longtime volunteer-turned-employee of Española Humane, I have dedicated 16 years to uplifting my community through animal adoption and advocacy. As my time as Miss New Mexico ends, I want to leave a lasting impact by hosting a virtual pet pageant and fundraiser to benefit Española Humane. I hope you will join me in making this vision a reality.”
— Karyn Dodier, 2024 Miss New Mexico
