My story

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

Meet Joey – the gentle giant with a nose for adventure, a big heart, and a whole lot to say!

Joey is an extra-large, incredibly smart guy who’s sure to turn heads wherever he goes. With his impressive height and striking eyes, people might even do a double-take — “Is that a dog... or a horse?” Despite his towering presence, Joey is pretty well-mannered… most of the time. When he’s feeling stubborn, though, he’s got a cheeky little streak that says, “Oh, you want me to do that? Hmm… let me think about it!” But don’t worry—he’s mostly a good sport, especially when treats are involved!

He’s mastered commands like ‘Sit,’ ‘Down,’ and ‘Paw,’ and walks nicely on a leash most of the time—except when his powerful hound nose catches an irresistible scent. Then, all bets are off as he follows his curious sniffer!

Joey isn’t just a big guy—he’s also quite the chatterbox and loves to talk back to his humans, sharing his thoughts and keeping the conversation lively. This big boy comes with a big personality to match. Joey loves to tease you by placing his toys just out of reach, giving you those wide, expectant eyes until you grab it to play. With his long arms and big, playful paws, he’s a pro at batting toys out of your hand and chasing them down for endless games of fetch. If you’re looking for nonstop entertainment and a smile-maker, Joey’s your guy!

Joey has enjoyed positive experiences with other dogs and might do well with the right canine companion, but he’s also happy being your one and only. He’s best suited for a moderately active home that will keep him busy with fetch sessions and plenty of mental challenges. A true ball enthusiast, Joey can play fetch as long as you’re willing to throw!

Call the Ranch today to meet this lovable giant and add some big-hearted fun—and conversation—to your life!

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!
