Story
Meet Lysander—which means `liberator,` and honestly, it`s a fitting name because this guy believes every backyard, hiking trail, and patch of grass deserves to be explored. His life philosophy is simple: Why stand still when you could be investigating something?This handsome 3-year-old, 35-pound Australian Kelpie mix is the perfect compact adventure buddy—big enough to keep up on the trails but small enough to fit comfortably into your life. Lysander loves to run, sniff, and see what`s around the next corner. Tennis balls? Meh. Squeaky toys? Hard pass. He`d much rather entertain himself by exploring the world than chasing a toy. He even gave hot dogs the ultimate Kelpie side-eye, proving he`s got some surprisingly refined taste when it comes to snacks. Luckily, he does know `sit,` takes treats gently, and will happily accept the ones that meet his high culinary standards.Lysander is also a total sweetheart with people. He`s friendly, affectionate, and has perfected the art of leaning in for pets just in case you weren`t already planning to give him some. He was happy to stand still for a brushing session and enjoyed the extra attention.On a recent Doggy Day Out, Lysander got to experience some new things, including car rides and a home setting. He explored his surroundings with great enthusiasm, happily greeted another person with lots of affection, and enjoyed a neighborhood walk, where he was easy on the leash, curious, and eager to sniff and investigate. He also enjoyed meeting other dogs along the way and seemed quite interested in saying hello. He was a hit at a local coffee shop. After his adventures, he settled happily on a cushion near his person.Lysander enjoys having things to investigate and especially liked finding hidden treats in a box of crumpled paper. He`s a curious, active guy who will appreciate a home that gives him plenty to explore, along with fun ways to keep his clever Kelpie brain occupied.If you`re looking for a loyal sidekick who`s ready for hikes, neighborhood walks, camping trips, or any excuse to get outside, Lysander is ready to liberate you from boring weekends!

Story
Get ready for a love attack from Jack Jack! This 32lb boy is so nice, we named him twice! And even though he`s just become a senior, he still is chock-full of that playful heeler energy! Jack Jack has a soft coat, and loves to get pets. He can be a bit selective of who he likes, and he seems to prefer females, so he would need to go slow when meeting any men. He is great with other dogs and would love to have a playmate, especially since he gets separation anxiety. If there are no other dogs, he`d just love to have a person who won`t leave him alone for long amounts of time. Jack Jack also loves to play in water, so he`d love to have a pool or splash pad in his yard! Jack Jack is definitely still a puppy at heart and would be best in a home with older kids and adults since he is very high energy. If you are looking for a hiking buddy, a running buddy or just a very active playmate, Then Jack Jack has got your back back! Jack Jack 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)

Needs experienced adopter,
Story
Trixie came to us as a 7 mos old pup scared to death of all humans. Her experience must have been unbearable up to the time she showed up here at CMP. She has come a long way in n trusting 2-legged, but can scale a 6 ft fence and needs an experienced adopter with patience and a kind soul. She will come aroundHowever this one is ALL about what you can do for her and not about what she can do for You. It took 6 months for us to be able to pet her…it has been an amazing journey to get her to trust

Story
I just want Bruno to live a better life than I am giving him. I’ve been working long hours and going to school that I’m not able to give him the right attention a dog should have. He’s very sweet once you get to know him. He does bark at other people but like I said once you know Bruno he’ll open up more. He’s loves cuddling in bed. I just think this is the right decision instead of taking him to the shelter where I got him originally.
