Recycle Reuse Rescue

Going to the Dogs (and Cats) Resale Shop supports the Watermelon Mountain Ranch mission by providing the revenue stream to fund Molly's Mercy Missions, our program that saves the lives of animals on municipal shelter euthanasia lists.

So, please keep the treasures coming – responsibly! Please see below for times and guidelines for merchandise donations.

Your donations are so important.

Thank you for your support!

Thrift Store Donation Guidelines

Going to the Dogs & Cats Resale Shop & Adoption Center

Cottonwood Mall (Upper Level near Mor Furniture)

10000 Coors Bypass NW, ABQ NM 87114

Please DO NOT dump donations of clothing and household goods in front or back of our Bernalillo building or at our Cottonwood Mall location, especially when we’re not open. These donations end up getting dirty, wet and picked through and then we are not able to sell them.

Please be understanding if a staff member tells you we cannot accept a particular donation. Watermelon Mountain Ranch spends thousands of dollars every year on waste management due to our dumpster being filled with donations we can’t sell.

Please be respectful that our Bernalillo building, parking lot and dumpster are private property just like at any other business in town, where you would never consider trespassing after hours or leaving trash on their property.

For all other donations, ask for assistance. Thank you.
