PUPPY DOG RANCH

January 2014: Puppy Dog Ranch Rescue and Sanctuary was established in 2009 and is the first and only NO KILL, NO CAGE refuge in Grant County, New Mexico. Puppy Dog Ranch is a non-funded, all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity and supports residents throughout 125 miles in rural southwest New Mexico. Puppy Dog Ranch works out of the founder/president and vice president's 7 acre home ranch. Through stringent adoption guidelines and matching the energy and personality of a dog to the lifestyle of the adopter, Puppy Dog Ranch maintains a 99% adoption success rate. PDR networks with Rescues and Shelters throughout the United States -- with an emphasis on rescuing dogs from the Shelters who choose to work with No Kill Rescues rather than take a dogs' life -- and those Shelters knowing that non profit Rescue Groups cannot afford to pay an adoption fee to save a dogs' life. PDR's dogs live on our sanctuary for, sometimes years, before we find the proper furever home for them. PDR's rescued dogs live in appropriate 'packs', are socialized with other dogs and especially children, do not have food aggression/protection issues, are house trained, ride well in cars, some are leash trained, all are taught voice commands and appropriate, balanced behavior. We are very proud of our hard work, working 24/7, and our successful results rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming unwanted, neglected, and abused dogs. As of January 2014, we have rescued over 180 dogs, have found furever homes for over 135 dogs, and care for an average of 30-40 dogs a day on our home ranch, 15 of whom are dogs who will live their lives in our sanctuary. We survive strictly on donations and non-paid volunteers. We apply to and receive funding for S.P.O.T., (Stopping Pet Overpopulation Together), our Spay/Neuter Assistance Program, which has financed the spays and neuters of 300+ dogs and cats in 2 years, in Grant County, New Mexico.

I am very shocked at the amount of effort this ranch puts into bashing other shelters. If they could work that hard at helping animals they would be ten times what they are now.
