I’m Carolyn — a lifelong animal lover and former Director of Development at Animal Humane New Mexico. I’ve spent years working with organizations devoted to rescuing and protecting animals of all kinds — from senior dogs and orphaned raccoons to horses and livestock looking for second chances.
That same compassion drives how I help clients find homes. Because if you’re like me, you’re not just looking for a house — you’re looking for a home where your pets are welcome, your values are honored, and your lifestyle is fully supported. Whether you’re moving with a pack of pups or dreaming of a little land for rescued animals, I’ll help you find the perfect fit.
For every home I help buy or sell, I donate $50 to a local animal welfare organization — supporting rescue efforts and giving back to the community we love.
You choose the organization that matters most to you:
Because for me, it’s not just about finding homes for people — it’s also about helping pets find loving homes, too.
Animal Humane New Mexico
As a former Director of Development here, I’ve seen firsthand the life-changing work they do through statewide rescue, training, advocacy, and outreach.
New Mexico Animal Friends
This volunteer-run nonprofit rescues and rehomes pets in need. I’ve supported them for years — they’re making a real impact.
Lap Dog Rescue of New Mexico
A foster-based organization focused on rehabilitating and rehoming small dogs across the state. Their dedication is unmatched.
NMDOG
They go above and beyond to save at-risk dogs by providing medical care, shelter, and adoption services — giving every dog a chance at a better life.
I love seeing our community come together to support animals. Here are some amazing local events I participate in and recommend:
Pet-A-Palooza – A high-energy, joyful adoption event held annually. (Check local listings or Animal Humane NM Events for dates.)
Furry Friends 5K – Walk or run to raise funds for rescue organizations.
Rescue Rummage – A fun community thrift event with proceeds going to shelters.
Dog Daze at the Park – Food trucks, live music, and happy pups everywhere!
Let’s connect — whether you’re buying, selling, or just want to chat about rescue groups, events, or the best dog-friendly trails in Albuquerque!

My fiancee and I had been looking for houses that would meet our goals of finding a forever home. I had been in contact with Carolyn for over a year, but it was really after seeing a couple of houses that fit our criteria that she was able to bring a real gem of a property into focus for us. All through the process she was patient, answered all our questions, quelled our fears, and kept the process moving. Her style and attention to our emotions as well as the details of the transaction allowed the purchase of our dream home to unfold in a natural and successful way. I would definitely recommend her to friends and family if they are in the market for a new home. Thank you Carolyn.

“It happened just like that! Thanks to Carolyn and her team — we could not have been happier.”
We wholeheartedly recommend Carolyn Fischman to anyone looking to sell a home quickly and efficiently in the Albuquerque area.
