Q. You are a bit out of the way.

That's true our location was chosen 25 years ago as the home of our Champion rough and smooth collies. We desided to build Salt Mission on the same five acres. We did so, so that:

we would be able to provide 24/7 care.

we could provide modern facility at an affordable price enabling us to offer better pet care rates.

we could offer a "country canine boarding experience" in other words fresh clean air in a comfortable low stress atmosohere.

Q. If I am coming from Albuquerque or Santa Fe how is the drive and won't it cost me more in gas?

A bit more but when was the last time you went anywhere in town where you didn't have to contend with traffic, traffic lights, or construction. These factors will increase you drive time to any boarding facility in town.

Salt Mission is a pleasant hassle free drive in a country setting 45 min. east of Albuquerque. Any added gas cost well you will save yourself some stress a our value added rates more than make up for gas costs.
