Fur Ball 2026

Our goal for our biggest fundraising event of the year the Fur Ball, is to host the best gala possible! Not only is this a beautiful night that celebrates the greatest animals of the Southwest, it's a chance for us to recognize our sponsors, donors and supporters; and most importantly, to raise funds for the animals, and all of programs of Watermelon Mountain Ranch. Together, we can help create a better world for dogs and cats.

As a Network Partner of Best Friends Animal Society (Utah), Watermelon Mountain Ranch’s lifesaving efforts reach far beyond Albuquerque’s city limits. Our Mercy Missions have taken us all over the southwest United States this year rescuing dogs and cats on euthanasia lists at high kill shelters. Please give generously to support the animals through the Fur Ball activities.
