Abandoned at our Gate
In October our Ranch Manager was making his final rounds before closing and noticed an animal crate just outside the front gate. Upon approach, he saw a note taped to the top and a small, frightened dog hovering in the back.
“My name is Coco and I am in need of a loving family. I have been abused and neglected. Went days with no food. I’m in poor health and never had shots. Please HELP ME!!!”
As heartbreaking as this story is, it is not new. But it is why we are here, and we are here because of you. This is what your donations do. They saves lives.
Are you ready to save the life of a precious dog or cat?
Your 2020 year-end gift will go directly to keeping our life-saving
programs alive. You are making miracles happen.

Angels' Rest Memorial Garden
One of the hardest things to endure is when your loyal companion goes over the rainbow bridge. It is a heartbreaking time.
The 4 Paws Chapel and Angels Rest Memorial Garden will be a place you can bring the ashes of your loved ones and put in the chapel or spread in the memorial gardens. It is our goal to have a place that will bring comfort to you when grieving. We invite you to be a part of this exciting project.
What people are saying about their WMR pets...


"I want you to know she is in the best place in the world. The very first night she slept with my parents in the bed right next to my mom, and ever since. Again, thank you so much for all you do, and did for my family!!!"

“WMR, thanks for the refund but as I told the girl, I'm good with you keeping it. You have so many furbabies to care for and besides Jenny is worth the little extra. I so love my little girl. Thanks for saving her and her little family and also for giving me the chance to adopt her. You have a great team! All have been so nice and also helpful. It's easy to see you care for the furkids and you enjoy what you do. AWESOME! ! For them "Thank You"!!
