Watermelon Mountain Ranch

The Watermelon Mountain Ranch was established in 1996 by Lee and Sophia DiClemente, whose passion of animals still permeates all aspects of the Ranch's daily activities. The New Mexico's Largest No Kill Animal Shelter, which has a 10 acre main campus building, two resale stores, off-site adoption facilities, and different humane initiatives for the community, grew out of a grassroots initiative that started with a small committed group of volunteers.
