My story

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

Meet Paco – The Playful Pup with a Heart of Gold

Paco is a big, handsome softie with the kindest eyes and a heart full of love. Once you’ve earned his trust, he’ll lean in close for cuddles and give you the sweetest paw when he wants attention — or forgiveness (not that he ever really needs it)!

This well-mannered gentleman is house-trained and already knows ‘Sit’, ‘Shake’, and ‘Down’. He may be getting up there in years, but don't let that fool you — Paco still loves to play! He’s got plenty of energy and is always up for a game or a goofy moment with his favorite people.

His Story
Paco came to us from a difficult situation. He once lived in a home where he was loved, but when a new boyfriend moved in, Paco was chained up in the backyard and left behind — no longer treated as part of the family. Despite that heartbreak, he’s held onto his loving, playful spirit and continues to show people how resilient and forgiving dogs can be.

His Needs Now
While Paco is fun-loving and social, he has a few needs to help him thrive in his next home:

  • He experiences occasional mild seizures if he gets overheated or overly excited, but he recovers quickly and is soon back to his happy self

  • He needs a securely fenced yard to safely stretch his legs and play

  • A quiet space indoors where he can retreat during thunderstorms or fireworks, which make him nervous

  • A family willing to offer him patience, love, and a second chance at a happy life

Paco is looking for a long-term foster or forever family who can appreciate his loyal, affectionate nature and give him the home he’s always deserved.


Call the Ranch today to meet Paco — your new best buddy is ready to play, snuggle, and love you endlessly.

Thank you for considering adopting a Rescue Ranch dog. While they are with us, each and every rescue dog receives the best of care in a loving and nurturing environment. Their routines include daily playgroups or partnering with dog buddies, quality time walking or being groomed, and two meals a day with dog biscuits for dessert.

 

 




All of our dogs receive the best in veterinary care and are spay/neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and fully vaccinated.

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!
