Watermelon Mountain Ranch

Just the mid-day pick me up you needed❣️

The newest members of our WMR family! 🐾

If you’ve met Mars, you know he’s out of this world🪐✨

Mars is very much a herding dog and he needs an owner who will exercise and train him accordingly.

He’s the sweetest baby and loves attention and affection.

He’s super playful and loves to go on hikes.

He is a bit fearful of loud noises & cars on walks so just needs more confidence building in that area.

He loves his crate, which has become his safe space.

If you’d like to meet Mars, please reach out to our foster team to set up a meet and greet! ♥️

Monday mood 💤

Speaking of dogs, puppies, cats and kittens… you can find us at the Petsmart on Coors and Montaño today from 11am-3pm!

Come find your furever family member TODAY! ♥️

UPDATE: Done! Thank you David and Jennifer for responding and helping us! We love our community!

Are you local and do you have a 5th wheel hitch?

We are in a pickle! We recently had our Caretaker's new 5th Wheel RV delivered to the Ranch. It is "almost" in its right spot - just 3 feet short of where it needs to be. We are looking for someone with a 5th wheel trailer hitch who can come to the Ranch in northern Rio Rancho and move the RV just 3 feet back from where it is. That's all! We are willing to PAY you for your time!

If you can help us out, please email [email protected] and let us know your time availability. Thank you so much!

We’re back to our weekly adoption event this weekend! 🎉

Come find us at both Petsmart locations!

Cottonwood location - Coors Bypass & Ellison
Wednesday - Sunday 10-3 (Cats)
Saturday, 11am-3pm (Dogs)

Taylor Ranch location - Coors & Montaño
Saturday & Sunday 11-3 (Cats)
Sunday, 11am-3pm (Dogs)

We have a great group of pets available for adoption… all they’re missing is you! ♥️🐾

Hi, I’m Hank, or as my foster family calls me, perfect ✨

I am two years old and as sweet as can be.
I am potty trained and can use a doggy door.
I sleep through the night in my crate and only snore a little!
I LOVE to cuddle and do it most of the day.
I am great with other dogs of all sizes, cats, kids, and men.

There are just a few things I need from my future family to be my happiest..

I need:
- A couch, I love to nap and cuddle up next to you.
- Toys! I am a huge fan and like the ones that are easy to destroy.
- Patience. As all shelter dogs I need a few days to get comfy so please don’t give up on me right away!

& lastly, I am still learning to sit and down but am very food-motivated and eager to learn!

Can I be yours? ♥️

If you’d like to meet Hank, please reach out to our Foster Coordinator to set up a meet & greet!

Meet our pet of the month, Belle ✨

Each month we will feature a WMR dog/cat to increase their chances of finding a furever home. We are excited to partner with .505 on this project. Fuego 505 will also post our pet of the month flyers in store on socials.

Crossed paws to each of our pets searching for their people 🐾

New Years and new ears ♥️

Nothing but shenanigans at the low rider cottage 🐾♥️

As the year ends, we want to express our deepest gratitude for your unwavering support throughout 2023! Your generosity and compassion have driven our mission to improve the lives of animals in need.

Whether you have offered help and support, donated much needed funds, volunteered your time, fostered an animal or provided a happy new home for one of our animals – thank you so much! WMR could not continue our lifesaving work without you ♥️🐾

We wish you a safe and Happy New Year! 💫

Say hello to Harry 💛

Harry is a golden guy that loves to play!

He enjoys going on walks and chewing on his bones/toys.

Harry has an incredible temperament, does well with other dogs, and is a quick learner.

Once he gets to know you, he’s a big cuddle buddy.

His heart is full of love for a family like yours! ♥️

If you are interested in meeting Harry please reach out to our Foster Coordinator to set up a meet & greet! 📧 [email protected]

Happy New Year! 🎆

A pupdate that is doubly special 🐾♥️

“This is Ollie. His name was Angel when we adopted him. He has fit in great and he even shares my lap with his kitty brother Kevin who we adopted from WMR well over a decade ago. We are totally smitten with both of them.“

The best gift is found in a furever friend 🐾♥️

Happy Holidays from our WMR family to yours! 🎄

Apple Jacks is calling to make sure you are coming to see his friends today… ☎️

We have both dog & cat adoptions today at the Cottonwood Petsmart on Coors Bypass and Ellison until 3pm!

(Apple Jacks is available for adoption at the our location inside Cottonwood mall 😉)

No adoption events tomorrow 12/24!

Check it out! 💛🐾

“We really love Brooklyn. She’s a great pup. She’s adjusting well to being home with us so far.“

We ♥️ pupdates, happy tails Brooklyn and family!! 🐾

Crisp winter walks call for winter wear… and puppy it’s cold outside! ❄️

We’ve got puffer jackets, windbreakers and hoodies of all sizes. Whether your pup is XS or XXL we’ve got it here in store! 🐕

Come see us at our resale shop inside Cottonwood Mall today! Monday- Saturday 11am-5pm, Sunday 12-5pm.

It seems like the purrfect cloudy day to introduce our very own little cloud ☁️

Say hello to Cloudy!

He is a 4-month old Domestic Short Haired tabby male, born indoors and raised by his mama cat along with his littermates.

His littermates have been adopted, and he’s still waiting for his forever home ♥️

Cloudy appears to like things quiet, he’s startled by sudden movement or being picked up. He’d do best in a quiet home with someone he’d like to have hanging around and vice versa—someone who works from home (he’ll keep you company play with your pen) or recently retired.

Cloudy plays with catnip toys and is starting to play with feathered wand toys.

Cloudy is available at the Cottonwood PetSmart on Coors Bypass and Ellison. 11am-3pm.

Stop by and meet our shy Cloudy ☁️

Today is the last day of our Home for the Holidays Adoption event! 🎁

We have many long term pets looking for a place to call home this holiday season including these three purrfect pals!

Fluffy is a 4 + year old orange dmh. Mr. Fluffy is in charge. HE will decide if he likes you or not. If you are one of the lucky ones he is a delightful little thing that will dance for his breakfast. He has been at the ranch since he was 3 months old.

Belle is a 6 + year old brown and white dsh. Miss sassy pants would probably prefer not to be surrounded by 10 other cats. Would probably want to be the only princess of the castle. She has graced us with her presents here at the ranch for 4 1/2 years now.

Felix is a 3 1/2 year old orange and white dsh. It will take multiple meet and greets for him to warm up to you. I think he is weary of selter life and needs lots of individual attention in a loving home. He has been with us for 1 year and 7 months.

All of these ever deserving cats, can be adopted TODAY at our Main Ranch location.

📍3251 Westphalia Blvd. NE
Rio Rancho, NM 87144

Meet Ava!

A wonderful pup that loves to play and cuddle.

She’s a little shy at first but after a few minutes and a belly rub, she’s ready to be your best friend!

She’s a curious pup who enjoys car rides and being around other dogs.

She’s always happy to join in on adventures and be the best companion you’ll Ava have!

Ava is just one of many WMR pets looking for a Home for the Holidays ✨

Have a HOLLY, Jolly Home for the Holidays 🐾

Meet Holly!

A gorgeous yellow lab mix, who loves people, children and other dogs!

She enjoys playing fetch and playing with toys, especially the squeaky ones.

She loves long walks and gives great snuggles when you are sick ❤️‍🩹

She can sit, laydown, & shake.

She is food possessive with other dogs, so please separate when feeding around other dogs. However, she is okay with people and kids around her food.

She is too playful for cats, so we recommend no small animals in her new home.

Holly will be a great addition to any family and just wants to find her furever people ♾️

Find Holly and plenty of other adoptable cats, dogs, puppies and kittens TODAY through Sunday!
