2023 Fur Ball

In celebration of the Fur Ball’s 21st anniversary, we will be back in The Grand Ball Room of the Albuquerque Pyramid North hotel hosting a community of animal welfare advocates and admirers. Attendees will enjoy dinner and dancing along with Steve Stucker’s Pet Parade of fairy tale theme costumed pets vying for the Best in Show award!

Our ever-popular live and silent auctions will showcase over 150 items in categories including art, jewelry, home decor, and more. The exposure for our sponsors this year is exponentially greater than ever before with both online and in-person opportunities, and we invite you to be a part of it!

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.
