Contributions for the Beth Petronis Feline House
We all lost a dear friend in the animal world.
Beth Petronis was a dear friend to the animals and to Watermelon Mountain Ranch Animal Center.
Beth spent countless hours helping our feline friends in need especially the "bottle babies"
who she took care of around the clock. When they had no mother to feed them, they could count on Beth.
She saved so many of their little precious lives and touched ours along the way.

Watermelon Mountain Ranch Animal Center would like to construct the Beth Petronis
Feline House at the Ranch. The family has requested that in lieu of flowers that funds go to help the animals.
If you would like to contribute to this lasting testament that would have delighted Beth
you may send a check with a note stating that it is to be used for The Beth Petronis Feline House.
If you wish to make a your contribution on your credit card, please
contact us at 505 980-6354 or go to the PayPal section on this page.
We thank you for you contribution and we offer our condolences to the family
members and friends of Beth.
She will be missed greatly by all.

Special Needs Animal
Tootsie Roll was found tethered and bleeding, used to attract coyotes. Angela's small body was covered with tumors. These are just two of the dogs that we at Watermelon Mountain Ranch have been able to help.

Give the Gift of Time
Do you love animals, but don't know the best way to help them? If so, we'd love to have you join us as a volunteer! If you can donate a few hours a week, it would mean a lot to cats and dogs looking for homes. Our volunteer page provides descriptions of the kinds of help we need. Click Here

Other Planned Gifts
You can design a gift that helps homeless cats and dogs and that also helps to meet your financial and tax planning goals. You can name Watermelon Mountain Ranch as the beneficiary of your pension, IRA, 401(k), or other retirement plan. By doing so, you could avoid the possible double taxation on retirement plan assets left to your heirs. You might consider naming Watermelon Mountain Ranch as owner and beneficiary (or co-beneficiary) of a life insurance policy. Gifts of stock, other securities, or real estate can also be tax-advantaged ways to help homeless animals. We can assist you in finding a charitable giving plan that works for you.
