"I was so thrilled to hear that you placed Miles, Ruff and Vivian. It was so hard for us to not bring them back to Oklahoma with us, but we have 5 very large dogs and the adoption services and shelters here are in very sad shape. You were our only hope! Thank you very much."

"I’m a big fan of WMR. I adopted one of my cats through WMR last year. He is awesome and the adoption process was positive and wonderful. I ‘m looking forward to when the facility is built."

"I just wanted to take a moment to let you know just how impressed I am with your organization. Recently, I adopted a wonderful dog from Watermelon at one of your Petsmart mobile adoptions and your volunteers were so enthusiastic as well as professional. They took the extra time to go above and beyond to help me make the right decision in adopting and were very thorough with the qualification process. Each time that I am at Petsmart I always see your group working hard and it would be nice if more organizations took your pro-active approach. It is no wonder that you have such an excellent reputation in the community. Thank you for all that you do for the animals in our area, it must be a monumental task.
Keep up the good work."

Dear Watermelon,
You have been so kind to extend your generosity and compassion toward our family. The experience we had, knowing our Flag is with Watermelon, is so comforting – you made a hard decision easier.

" We adopted Bubba from you last November. You used to call him Yeller, but whatever the name, he is the love of our lives. He is a better dog than we could have hoped for. Thank you for the work you do and for bringing us together with Bubba."

Dear Watermelon and all the other marvelous Watermelon volunteers,
I recently rescued a Jack Russell/Pit Bull mix named Kenya who you have graciously assimilated into your Watermelon family. I am so grateful for your generosity in helping me save her life. It was a very emotional experience for me but you all were so compassionate that I can’t thank you enough.
Good luck with everything!

I just wanted to say Thank You for all the great work! I adopted a wonderful cat named Charlotte in Feb 2002 from you at the Indoor Mercado by pure fate! I’ve never regretted it for one moment. She is now happy, healthy, and safe with me. Thanks to your organization for taking care of our animals.

I was recently at your Petsmart Renaissance location and your animal techs were especially helpful to me with my newly acquired Chihuahua. I really appreciated her caring manner.
