Mutt Masquerade
Bring your furry friend and let them strut their stuff! The Mutt Masquerade is a fun costume contest for your pups! Prizes are awarded to the best-dressed pooches on the patio! Marble donates $1 from every pint sold during the event to the Watermen Mountain Ranch. WMR is also onsite with dogs that need a new fur-ever home! Adopt your new best friend today!
Thousands of lost, abandoned and stray animals are euthanized every year in New Mexico. When WMR was conceived a group of like-minded volunteers began to rescue and find homes for animals in Sandoval County and Albuquerque. Since that time, their rescue efforts have expanded to most of the counties throughout New Mexico as well as southern Texas and Juarez, Mexico. From its small beginnings to the present time, WMR has rescued and adopted out over 150,000 animals into loving homes. The dream has become a reality, and WMR is one of the premier not-for-profit facilities in the Southwest. The 10-acre facility has become New Mexico’s Largest No-Kill Animal Shelter. Must be 21+ to enter your furbaby. Registration begins at 11am on the patio.
