My story

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

Meet Dorado – The Big-Hearted Goofball Who Will Steal Yours!

Dorado is a lovable, playful giant whose joy is absolutely contagious. This fun-loving guy thrives in large doggy playgroups, where he can run, romp, and show off his goofy personality to the fullest. Whether he’s exploring a spacious fenced yard or going on long walks, Dorado’s tail is always wagging, ready for the next adventure.

With his classic shepherd charm—plus a few quirky twists—Dorado is looking for a family who understands just how special shepherds can be. He’s smart, loyal, and full of personality, but he also has a heart as big as his frame.

Cuddle Bug Alert:
Despite his size, Dorado is a total sweetheart. He loves leaning in for hugs, snuggles, and all the affection you can give. His gentle, patient nature makes him a joy to be around, and he’ll happily be your devoted companion through both playtime and quiet moments.

Dorado can be a little shy when meeting new dog friends, but his patience and sweetness win them over quickly. A home with other friendly dogs would be ideal, giving him playmates to keep him engaged while his humans are away.

If you’re searching for a big-hearted, affectionate, and endlessly playful pup who will bring laughter, love, and adventure into your life, Dorado is your guy.

Call the Ranch today to meet Dorado! Your perfect cuddle-and-play partner is waiting.

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!
