My story

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

️ Meet Tahoe — A Sweet Soul Ready to Shine!

Gentle, loyal, and just a little shy — Tahoe is a young, medium-sized pup who’s ready to find a calm, quiet home where he can truly blossom.

At first, Tahoe may hang back and take his time getting to know new people. But once you’ve earned his trust, you’ll have a devoted best friend who loves to stay close — sometimes so close that he’ll weave under your feet just to be near you!


What Makes Tahoe Special

  • Calm & well-mannered: Tahoe walks beautifully on leash and doesn’t pull.

  • Cat-approved: He’s done great with cats and lived peacefully with multiple dogs and cats during a foster stay.

  • House-trained & crate-trained: He’s fully potty trained and sleeps soundly through the night in his crate.

  • Gentle personality: A quiet, affectionate boy who loves being near his people without being demanding.


Words from His Foster

“Tahoe was such a quiet and easy dog to live with. Often, I completely forgot he was there until I went to walk down the hallway, and he was resting right on the floor.

He seems to be very confused about the TV, but he curiously checks it out from time to time. He never once had an accident indoors and slept through the night in a crate without any noise.

It takes a little convincing to get him into the crate, but once he’s in, he settles well. He was very gentle and respectful of the cats and had no issues with my blind dog bumping into him.”

This sweet feedback says it all — Tahoe is calm, polite, and quietly affectionate. He’s the kind of companion who brings peace and warmth to any home.


A Few of Tahoe’s Quirks

Tahoe has one funny little quirk — he’s a bit unsure about the voices coming from the TV! He’ll perk up, tilt his head, and try to figure it all out with the sweetest curiosity. With time and reassurance, he’s learning that those mysterious “talking boxes” aren’t so scary after all.


The Perfect Home for Tahoe

Tahoe would thrive in a peaceful home with patient people who will give him time to settle in and feel safe. Once he does, his gentle, loving nature shines bright — and he’ll be the kind of companion who quietly melts into your heart.


✨ If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate dog who’s ready to bloom with a little love and patience, Tahoe might just be the perfect fit!

Call the Ranch today to meet this sweet soul and see if he’s the one for you.

Rescue Ranch puppies are raised through our puppy foster program. They will have met adults, children, often other dogs, maybe cats. 16-week or older puppies will have taken part in our "Reading to Rescue Pups" program and attended many events.

When they are at least 8 weeks old, puppies are given a wellness exam by a licensed veterinarian. 

Before going home, all puppies will have been dewormed and received all age-appropriate vaccinations for parvo/distemper, and Bordetella. If they are 4 months or older they will also have their rabies vaccination.

All p uppies are also microchipped and registered with  911PetChip .

We require spay/neutering of puppies at 6-8 months old (or the appropriate age for giant breeds)  by our veterinarian. The procedure is covered by the adoption fee. Alternatively, adopters can choose to have the procedure done by their own vet (proof required),  and a portion of the cost will be refunded.   



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!
