Story
Meet Carmen!Carmen is one of the Ranch`s long-time residences who is yet to find her forever home. She can be very shy when it comes to meeting new people and likes to approach people at her own pace. Once she trusts you, she will want to be around you all the time! She loooves water and enjoys standing around in the kiddie pools to cool off in the summer. She is a little selective about the dogs she enjoys being around and tends to prefer the company of submissive females. She would do best in a home without kids and a tall fence since she has some incredible `hops`.Carmen is at our main ranch location!Watermelon Mountain Ranch(Across from Cleveland High School)3251 Westphalia Blvd. NERio Rancho, NM 87144505-221-2359Wed-Sun 11am-4pm(adoptions and tours until 3pm)

Story
Meet Bolt! Every minute spent in his company becomes the new best moments of our lives! And at 33lbs, Bolt lives up to his superhero namesake. He`s a young and playful pup, with a lot of energy. He`s willing and able to learn all the ways it takes to be a super dog (He`s already mastered the `Sit` command!) He loves to play with other dogs, and also loves to snuggle after a good round of exercise! He is looking for a home with a lot of adventure and fun! If Bolt`s taught us anything, it`s that you never abandon a friend at a time of need, and Bolt needs his forever friend to give him the home he deserves. We sure hope it`s you! He`s ready to be your sidekick if you`re ready to be his hero! Bolt is at our main ranch location!Watermelon Mountain Ranch(Across from Cleveland High School)3251 Westphalia Blvd. NERio Rancho, NM 87144505-221-2359Wed-Sun 11am-4pm(adoptions and tours until 3pm)

All aboard! Meet Ozzy, our Prince of Dogness! This handsome 56lb pup still has a little more room to grow! Ozzy may be just a Dreamer, but he`s also a smart and friendly boy. And because he`s still a young boy, he needs a little more training on all the ways it takes to be a great dog. Ozzy plays well with the other dogs here, but can be a little choosy. If you have another dog, we highly recommend bringing them along to meet. Ozzy cannot wait to find his forever person so he can say `Mama, I`m coming Home!`Ozzy is at our Main Ranch location!Watermelon Mountain Ranch(Across from Cleveland High School)3251 Westphalia Blvd. NE Rio Rancho, NM 87144(505) 221-2359Wed-Sun 11am-4pm (adoptions and tours until 3pm)

Meet Tex!This handsome pitty mix is newer to us so we are still getting to know him. So far we have learned that Tex can be a bit people selective, but when he decides he likes you he is the biggest cuddle bug! Tex can be dog selective, we believe he would do best in a home with no small animals and with another dog who is playful but still knows when to be calm. Because Tex has a pure white coat, he requires limited outdoor time and sunscreen when he goes outside. Tex is going through training to learn how to coexist with people and other pets and is doing very well so far.Tex is at our main ranch location!Watermelon Mountain Ranch(Across from Cleveland High School)3251 Westphalia Blvd. NERio Rancho, NM 87144Wed-Sun 11am-4pm(adoptions and tours until 3pm)

Story
Say `Hi, son` to Tyson! This sweet old man is looking for a calm, loving home where he can spend his days relaxing & getting much deserved snuggles! Despite his age, Tyson is still active, and enjoys going on walks and playing with his four legged friends! But unfortunately, Tyson does have his problems. At 50lbs, Tyson came to us with a skin condition that had been sadly untreated for quite some time, leading to secondary skin infections as well as hair loss. Sweet Tyson has been undergoing treatment and thankfully he has started to regrow his fur! He will need continued treatment with antifungal baths, a special diet, and continuous care with a veterinarian. Sure it sounds like a lot, but honestly Tyson is a wonderful dog, who takes everything in stride, so the good outweighs the bad! He needs his forever person to have a lot of heart like he does! Tyson is at our Main Ranch location!Watermelon Mountain Ranch(Across from Cleveland High School)3251 Westphalia Blvd. NERio Rancho, NM 87144505-221-2359Wed-Sun 11am-4pm(adoptions and tours until 3pm)

Story
Say hello to our handsome senior boy Skip, who is one of our long-term dogs that has been with us for far too long! This 55lb black lab mix is just as sweet as they come, and has an adorable smile to match! Skip LOVES to play fetch, and chompin` on chew toys. He also loves to play with kids, but can be a bit rambunctious, so his forever home would be best with kids that are comfortable around large dogs. And speaking of his size, Skip needs a home with a large, very secure fence, because his one big flaw is he`s reactive to other animals. This means he cannot go on walks because of it, and he`d be best in a home where he`s the only dog. And if he was to go anywhere, he is STRONG, and needs a person who can handle his might! That could be a big deal breaker for many, but if you`re someone who`s looking for a lovably large lapdog you can be playful homebodies with, and avoid going on walks, then Skip is your man! This sweet boy has been with us for far too long, and he just needs someone with a heart as big as his to give him his chance. You honestly don`t want to SKIP out on him. Skip is at our Main Ranch location! email dogswmr@gmail.com for more info.Watermelon Mountain Ranch(Across from Cleveland High School)3251 Westphalia Blvd. NE Rio Rancho, NM 87144(505) 221-2359Wed-Sun 11am-4pm (adoptions and tours until 3pm)
