💚Our heads are dizzy for our girl Fizzy!🥤 This effervescent pup is a lot of fun and a lot of energy! She's almost 16lbs at the moment, and will grow up to be a medium to large sized dog. She likes to play with other pups, and likes to be gal in charge. She's currently in puppy shark mode, and needs her forever person to train her in all of the ways it takes to be a good dog! Fizzy needs a forever home with a lot of love, and chew toys, for a funny, playful puppy like her. To put in plainly, Fizzy needs a bubbly owner that won't leave her feeling flat!💚

Come and meet Fizzy at our Main Ranch location!

💚Benson is our funny little guy with a funny little face! At close to 8lbs, Benson is a big lovable personality in a teeny chihuahua body! He likes to be the little man in charge, but is playful and gets along well with dogs his size and speed! If you have another dog, we always recommend bringing them along to meet. Benson is looking for a home where he has a LOT of toys to play with, a buddy to go on walks with, and then a spot right on their lap for snuggling! He would make a fine little companion for his forever person. Benson may be small, but he'll fill his home with a lot of love and fun!💚

You can meet Benson at our Main Ranch location during adoption hours.

💚APPRECIATION POST! We wanted to say thank you to Yellowstone Landscape Southwest Region for visiting us this week. Their crew came to volunteer, keeping our campus looking good and they even got to take a break and hang out with the dogs and cats. Looks like our kitty Monte (who’s now at PetSmart/Cottonwood) had a fantastic time getting some much deserved snuggles! They even brought donations for the animals! We are truly grateful and hope you can come back again real soon! 💚
If you would like to volunteer as a group (school, church, company, scouts, etc.) please contact our volunteer coordinator to set-up a tour and project!
📧Email [email protected] to find out how, and visit wmranch.org/ways-to-give to find out other ways of how you can help our pets!

💚HAPPY SENIOR SUNDAY! Meet Sophie, a 54lb shining star waiting to light up her forever home! She'll thrive in a peaceful environment where she's the center of attention. Sophie needs a home with no children and no other pets. She'd make a great companion for someone who just wants a big sweet girl, not a clinger, and can take her on nice walks. Although she's along in years, Sophie still enjoys going on walks and playing fetch! She may not be a snuggle-bug, but she adores pets on her own terms. Sophie has a sensitive tummy, and she's been doing well with her special gastrointestinal diet. This beautiful old lady needs the last chapter in her life to be with someone who understands all that she's been through, and someone who will be there for the rest of her life! 💚
Come and meet Sophie at our Main Ranch location.
Email [email protected] to learn more information about her, and visit wmranch.org/adopt to see all of our adoptable cats & dogs!
