My story

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

Meet Stewey – The Water-Loving Cuddle Bug Ready to Make a Splash in Your Life!

Stewey isn’t just any dog—he’s a seal in disguise! This handsome, middle-aged pitbull has earned the nickname “land seal” for good reason: he lives for water. Whether he’s splashing around in his water trough, soaking up the sun after a playful swim, or just rolling in a puddle, Stewey is happiest when wet and having fun.

But don’t let his water-loving ways fool you—this goofy guy has a heart of gold. Stewey has a quirky, lovable personality that’s impossible not to adore. One of his favorite antics? Proudly carrying his empty food bowl around with a big, silly grin, as if to say, “Look what I’ve got!” It’s just a glimpse of the playful, silly charm he brings to every day.

Beneath the fun-loving exterior, Stewey is a total sweetheart and a cuddle enthusiast. He adores people of all ages, making him a wonderful family companion who thrives on affection and attention. He’s also been introduced to a few female dogs and gets along well, enjoying the occasional chase or wrestling session—though he’s just as happy to lounge nearby afterward.

Stewey would thrive in a home that loves water as much as he does and is ready to share in all his goofy, loving moments. He’s playful, affectionate, and full of heart—a one-of-a-kind companion who brings joy wherever he goes.

Ready to dive into a life filled with love, laughter, and splashes? Call the Ranch today to meet Stewey and let him make your home his happy place!

This dog, as well as several other dogs and puppies, are currently in our program through a special collaboration with Siskiyou County Animal Control.  Due to severe overcrowding and limited resources in the region, many shelters are faced with incredibly difficult decisions. Together, we’re working to give these dogs a better chance by finding them loving homes or transferring them to partner rescues. They’re available for adoption just like our Rescue Ranch pups — but because of the urgency of the situation, they may be transferred quickly. If you're interested, we highly encourage you to act fast — they deserve a loving home, and it could be yours!

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!
