My story

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

Meet Watson — the spirited, joyful adventurer with a heart big enough to fill your whole world!

Watson is a medium-to-high-energy pup who is happiest when he’s out exploring, playing, or sharing his contagious enthusiasm with everyone around him. This boy is the definition of fun — goofy, smart, social, and always ready to turn an ordinary moment into something worth smiling about.

He adores romping around with his doggy friends and plays with a perfect blend of excitement and friendliness. Whether he’s chasing a ball, zig-zagging through the yard, or rolling around in pure joy, Watson’s zest for life is impossible to miss. Spend five minutes with him, and you’ll see exactly why we think he’s such a special dog.

But Watson isn’t just energy — he has a sweet, loyal side too. He’s the kind of dog who wants to be part of your journey, whether that means hiking trails, going on weekend adventures, or simply lounging together after a long day. With a structured, active lifestyle and someone who appreciates his fun-loving nature, Watson will absolutely thrive.

He’s smart, eager to learn, and always ready for whatever comes next. With consistent guidance and plenty of love, Watson has all the potential to become an incredibly rewarding companion — one who will bring laughter, adventure, and devotion into your life every single day.

If you're looking for a lively, loving partner who will brighten your home with his happy spirit, Watson is your guy.

Ready to meet him?
Give the Ranch a call today and come see why everyone here can’t help but smile when Watson’s around.

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!
