My story

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

✨ Meet Zeke — The Brilliant Blue Heeler With Incredible Potential! ✨

Zeke is a stunning, sharp-minded Blue Heeler with a heart full of loyalty and a work ethic that never quits. This boy is incredibly smart — he crushes obstacles, picks up new commands with ease, and absolutely thrives when he has a job to do. If you’re looking for a true working partner or an adventure buddy, Zeke is your guy.

Zeke can be selective with new people, and he prefers slow, respectful introductions. He’s not a fan of direct, prolonged eye contact, but give him space, go at his pace, and you’ll start to see him soften. And here’s the key to his heart: hot dogs, treats, and his all-time favorite — a good game of fetch. He’s a total ball fanatic.

Shelter life is tough on Zeke. The noise, the activity, and the constant rotation of people aren’t his style — but outside that environment, this boy will blossom into the loyal, devoted dog he’s meant to be. He just needs the right person to believe in him and give him the time he deserves.

Once Zeke trusts you, he is all in — responsive, affectionate in his own way, and eager to be part of your world. With patience and consistency, his incredible potential shines through.

This energetic, intelligent pup would truly thrive on a ranch, homestead, or active home where he can engage both his mind and body. Whether it’s helping with livestock, learning new skills, or tagging along for daily tasks, Zeke loves having purpose. And when it’s adventure time? Tell him to “load up,” and he’s ready to roll.

Zeke is the perfect match for someone with an active lifestyle who values trust-building and is willing to take things slow. Put in the time, and you’ll gain a loyal, capable partner for life.

Zeke isn’t just a dog — he’s a teammate, a companion, and a best friend waiting to bloom.

Are you ready to help this extraordinary boy become the dog he was meant to be?

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!
