My story

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

Meet Kansas – A Gentle Soul with a Loyal Heart

Looking for a loyal, goofy, and adventure-ready companion? Meet Kansas—a handsome, intelligent gentleman who’s ready to be your best friend through it all. He’s past the wild puppy days and into his calm, confident era—but don’t worry, he still has plenty of playful energy for hikes, yard games, and lake trips.

Kansas is wonderfully gentle with people. He’s affectionate, easygoing, and loves being near his humans. Whether you're handing out treats or offering ear scratches, he’s incredibly polite—he even takes treats with a soft touch, despite his size. His calm and kind nature makes him a joy to be around.

While Kansas is friendly and welcoming, he also has a loyal streak. He’s the kind of dog who forms strong bonds with his people and would stand tall for them if the situation ever called for it. Not pushy or reactive—just a quiet, steady presence who’s always got your back.

He knows a few basics like “Sit” and walks well on a leash. He’s smart, treat-motivated, and attentive to his handler, so picking up new skills will come naturally with a bit of time and consistency.

Kansas enjoys water (just not the hose!) and would be thrilled with a kiddie pool or a splash in a stream. He’s had a few doggy friends here at the Ranch and might enjoy a playful canine companion—especially one close to his size who doesn’t mind a little wrestling. That said, he’s also perfectly happy being your one-and-only and soaking up all the love for himself.

If you’re looking for a devoted adventure buddy who’s gentle at heart and quietly protective when it counts, Kansas might be the perfect match.

Call the Ranch to meet Kansas today—he’s ready to be your new best friend!

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. 

The standard adoption donation fee for all dogs and puppies is $300

(unless a reduced fee applies )

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!
