Story
Meet Nichol!Personality: Gentle. Loyal. Snack-motivated.Likes: Snacks with purpose, going for walks!Nichol is the kind of dog who believes in first impressions that improve with time. She may be a little reserved at first, but give her a moment (and maybe a snack), and she’ll happily settle in right by your side. Once she warms up, she’s all about quiet companionship, couch snuggles, and being your loyal shadow.She appears house trained, walks nicely on leash, knows how to sit, and takes treats with the gentlest manners imaginable—seriously, it’s impressive. Nichol isn’t flashy; she’s thoughtful, sweet, and the kind of dog who makes your home feel calmer just by being there.Fun fact: Nichol takes treats so gently you’ll wonder if she’s afraid of hurting your feelings!If you’re looking for a low-key best friend who blossoms with a little patience and a few snacks, Nichol is ready to meet you.

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Astro is a pup that's out of this world! He is sweet and friendly with people and loves to run in the park or with you! He loves to sniff around and will love exploring the world by your side! Astro is a deaf dog with special needs and will need a patient and loving family. He has lived successfully with other dogs and children, however, since he is a little timid and sensitive, please bring any children in to meet him before taking him home. Astro would benefit from being in a home with a big yard to run and play in and an owner to help build his confidence when interacting with the outside world. He already knows some tricks and hand signals for "sit" and "shake". Astro is a cuddly, sweet boy that needs a second chance and a loving family. Come meet him, bring the family, and fall in love with this amazing pup!

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
I adopted Luna two months ago and am hoping to find her a good home. She is sweet and very smart. She learned quick how heel and responds well to praise and other reinforcement. I live alone so have little experience of how she responds to other dogs and cats. In the dog park she is submissive and then plays with them. She is very high energy at times and enjoys long walks.

Meet Winston!At 38lbs, Winston is the perfect size for an adventure buddy, he is great on a leash and would love to go on lots of walks and hikes. Winston is incredibly sweet and he loves to snuggle, he can get a little nervous when left alone so someone who is home more often then not would be ideal. Winston enjoys the company of other dogs even if they are bigger than he is.Winston 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
Jack Jack is a medium sized super high energy doggo that loves to run and play! He is people selective and loves to protect his family. Because he tends to get very attached, he would need a home where someone is there for me 24/7. He prefers females as he is more comfortable with them, so he would need to go slow when meeting males. He is great with other dogs and would love to have a playmate. He also loves to play in water, so a small dog pool is preferred!! He is definitely still a puppy at heart and gets incredibly fast zoomies! He would do best in a home where he can be very active and play as long as he wants! He would also do best in a home with older children 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 he would be the perfect fit for you!He can be found at the main ranch location. For more information you can email dogswmr@gmail.com
