The 1st Paw Up Program
Your gift of $75 can provide a microchip and all vaccinations for one dog or cat. Can you give them their First Paw Up to adoption? Or mail your donation to 1380 Rio Rancho Blvd., Ste 374, Rio Rancho, NM 87124
Watermelon Mountain Ranch Vet Clinic
Spay/neuter programs are essential in stemming the tide of unwanted pets and unnecessary euthanasia. All animals that are adopted out from Watermelon Mountain Ranch have been sterilized, in addition to receiving all age-appropriate vaccinations and a microchip.
We offer assistance to families / individuals in need, so that they can fix their pet(s) and help stop the overpopulation problem that encompasses our community. For more information or to schedule an appointment please email our Surgery tech at surgerywmr@aol.com.
