Story
Pete came in with five other dogs off the mesa a little over a year ago. He's a snuggle monster. He especially loves scritches behind the ears and on his shoulders. He's just lean on you once you start giving him some love and he won't leave. He's a sweet boy, but won't do as well with other dogs.

Story
Loona is a silly little goose. She will love you at first sight and act like a total dork from the jump. She has a lot of energy and would love to go on adventures with you. We've noticed that she loves hugs and needs to work on not jumping, but she's young and incredibly smart when she wants to be, so with intentional time, she should learn quickly. Loona would do best as an only dog.

Story
We are looking for Perpetual Care Fosters for our sweet Carmen. Due to her anxiety and nervousness around people and other dogs, a long-term foster is preferred. Perpetual Foster means she would be in the home, but Watermelon would take care of her medical needs. Carmen`s Story:Carmen is one of the Ranch`s long-time residences who is yet to find her forever home. She can be very shy when it comes to meeting new people and likes to approach people at her own pace. Once she trusts you, she will want to be around you all the time! She loooves water and enjoys standing around in the kiddie pools to cool off in the summer. She is a little selective about the dogs she enjoys being around and tends to prefer the company of submissive females. She would do best in a home without kids and a tall fence since she has some incredible `hops`.Come meet Carmen at the Main Ranch Location. For further information email dogswmr@gmail.com

Story
Have you ever wanted a rescue dog who just been in the system too long and is patiently waiting for his forever family? What if we told you, he is beyond sweet, loves most other dogs and people... would that make you want to give him a forever home?Meet Remington! A 7 year old sweet boy who has been here at the ranch since 2021. He would do best in a home with kids 12 and over. Remington was in a home for a short time and here is what he had to say about Remington in the home.*never crated or kenneled during his time with me. *He was alone for most of the day (10 hrs) and had no accidents in the house. *Although he didn’t have accidents or problems when he was alone, I think being alone everyday caused him anxiety and believe he would do better with a companion (human or dog).*Additionally he did not chew or destroy anything in the house. He would probably go through the trash but I moved it to the garage. He did takeover the couch during the day and night. *He does have a lot of energy and he enjoys being outside. I did walk him everyday (morning and night) but his energy did not seem to decrease.*He is definitely food motivated and always wanted whatever food I had. (I fed him only in the morning)*He was never around other people so I don’t know how he would respond to larger groups, children, etc.*He seemed to be more interested in dogs than people but I never let him get close to other dogs. I don’t know what he would have done.*In general, I believe he is well-behaved and with proper training he will be a wonderful companion/friend.He can be see at the main ranch location.

Story
Meet our newest sweetheart PEACH!!We are still learning about this sweet girl, and so far we have found she is very shy but friendly with people. She loves pets and cuddles and may seem nervous at first, but once you pet her, she lets down her guard down. Her previous owners have stated that she can get very attached to people and can get jealous if she has to share her humans with other dogs or cats. Because of that she needs to be an only animal in the home.You can meet Peach at our main ranch location or email dogswmr@gmail.com for more information.

Story
ntroducing Paisley, a remarkable canine with a heartwarming story. She first found her home through PACA as a tiny puppy, and after 12 years of love and companionship, she returned to PACA due to the passing of her owner. Paisley's favorite activities include leisurely walks, basking in the sun-drenched grass, savoring her bone treats, and cuddling with her soft, squeaky toys. She would thrive in a tranquil home environment with a human companion who can provide her with ample attention, especially as she copes with some age-related health issues and struggles with navigating stairs. On the bright side, Paisley adores car rides, walks beautifully on a leash, maintains impeccable manners indoors, and is always eager to bring joy to those around her. Thank you for considering a rescue pet! PACA operates as a Foster-Based Rescue without a physical shelter. For those interested, we are more than happy to arrange a Private Meet-and-Greet with the foster parent and your household upon the approval of your application. You can conveniently complete the online application by visiting https://form.jotform.com/222028369049155. We are excited to help Paisley find her perfect forever home!

These pups are in Bernalillo, New Mexico too!
