Watermelon Mountain Ranch has been a no-kill animal shelter since its inception in 1996. It is with great honor to be recognized by Best Friends Network for 2022 for exceeding a 90% save rate.

We want to say thank you to everyone who has adopted, rescued, donated, shared Facebook posts, and spread the word about animals for adoption in the shelter. Without all of your help, this would not have been possible!

4 Paws Chapel &

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.
