This sweet girl has had a rough start to life but she has remained optimistic through all of it. Vera was found running around our property emaciated and covered in ticks, our team was able to catch her and slowly began nursing her back to health. She underwent her spay surgery and our team quickly noticed that she was experiencing some bleeding. After a trip to the ER and a blood transfusion, Vera was able to recover in a foster home. Now Vera is ready to go and eagerly waiting for her forever family to arrive. Vera has shown that she is curious about other dogs but she is still working on proper play manners. She is quite curious about her surroundings so a secure yard is a must.
Vera is at our main ranch location! Watermelon Mountain Ranch (Across from Cleveland High School) 3251 Westphalia Blvd. NE Rio Rancho, NM 87144
Wed-Sun 11am-4pm (adoptions and tours until 3pm)

More about this shelter
Our shelter had it's beginnings in the mid 90's and formally became a nonprofit organization in 2001. The dream of Lee and Sophia DiClemente has grown to be the largest no-kill animal shelter in New Mexico. Lee passed in 2010, but Sophia carries on with the support of a small staff, a large number of volunteers, and numerous donors - large and small.
