My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Monty – The Complete Package with a Heart of Gold!

Say hello to Monty, a dapper young gentleman who truly lives up to his name — the whole kit and caboodle wrapped into one handsome, athletic package! If you’re searching for a smart, friendly, and loyal companion who’s ready to become your adventure partner and best friend, Monty might just be your perfect match.

Monty’s journey hasn’t always been easy. He came from a challenging background, having experienced an abusive home early in life. Since April 2022, Monty has been patiently waiting at the shelter for his forever family, hoping to find a loving home where he can finally settle and thrive. When he first arrived, all Monty wanted to do was hug the staff members — as if thanking them for keeping him safe and loved. Through it all, his loving spirit and deep affection for people have never wavered. This sweet boy approaches everyone he meets with a wagging tail and a warm heart, eager to make new friends and share his joy.

With a moderate energy level, Monty strikes a wonderful balance — he’s lively enough to keep up with hikes, runs, and outdoor adventures, yet calm enough to relax and cuddle when the day winds down. His athleticism shines through in his graceful movements and enthusiasm for playtime. Monty is a quick learner who already knows Sit and Down, and he walks politely on leash, making every walk an enjoyable outing for both of you.

When Monty greets you, his excitement can be contagious! He tends to bounce with joy, thrilled to see you, but he quickly settles down once he knows he has your full attention. Monty is a true people-pleaser, always striving to earn your approval and shower you with love.

Socially, Monty is a superstar. He thrives in the company of medium to large dogs, sharing space with his furry friends gracefully and happily. He’s also great with kids, showing a gentle side that makes him a perfect fit for families of all ages. And if you love road trips, you’ll be delighted to know Monty is a fan of car rides — he’s ready to join you wherever the road takes you!

Despite his size, Monty is a gentle giant at heart. His kind demeanor and respectful nature make him an ideal companion for a wide range of households, especially those who appreciate a dog with both brains and heart.

If you’re ready to open your home and heart to a remarkable dog who’s as loving as he is athletic, don’t wait! Call the Ranch today to meet Monty and start your new adventure together!

Additional adoption info

You will first need to stop by our rescue and meet our dogs! If interested in one of our dogs you will need to fill out an application. We also do a home visit if in the area, to make sure you have a secure and a dog-friendly environment. If out of the Siskiyou county area we can easily make other arrangements. Our adoption donation is $195.00. We have a reduced rate for seniors, the disabled, and veterans. Our "Senior for Senior" program offers a further discount and can help with the cost of dog ownership. The adoption fee for puppies who grew up at the Ranch (or in foster here) includes spay/neutering when old enough and is $295.00. All of our dogs are up to date on shots, heart worm tested and any medical issue are treated. Every dog that is going to a new home must be spayed or neutered before they leave Rescue Ranch.

More about this rescue

Rescue Ranch is a small no kill shelter. We have kennels for 22 dogs. We primarily take in dogs from city and county shelters in Siskiyou County before the dogs are out of time due to space limitations. We also make 3-4 trips a year to county shelters in central California to save smaller dogs that can overwhelm shelter resources in those counties. We started about 18 years ago with 40 acres far outside Yreka and were able to help many dogs in the county due to the efforts of the founders and many volunteers. In August of 2009 our new facility opened. We are now about 2 miles outside of town on 10 acres. We have been steadily growing through the efforts of the committed staff, volunteers, and volunteer board members. In 2012 we had 80 adoptions, 2013 we had 105 adoptions and in 2014 we had 167 adoptions. This year in 2020, we are projecting to place over 500 dogs into happy homes! We operate solely on the generous donations from the public and our wonderful volunteers. We have added boarding to our facility and all proceeds from the boarding fees are used to help with our expenses so we can help more dogs find their forever homes.
Our mission is to Rescue-Nurture-Rehome dogs into loving and safe forever homes---We do it for the dogs!
