Story
Meet Bruce 🖤 Some dogs deserve an extra investment in their future. Bruce was already an amazing dog, but because he's a strong, intelligent Malinois mix, we wanted to give both him and his future family every opportunity to succeed. That's the promise we make to all of our Misfits. Bruce has spent the past couple of months in a professional board-and-train program with Beyond the Bark, and he has absolutely thrived. Like most Malinois, he's happiest when his body and brain stay active. Give him daily exercise and mental enrichment, and you'll have one of the sweetest, calmest, most affectionate companions you could ask for. Bruce is about 66 pounds and under 2 years old, loves people, does great with other dogs, is crate trained, and is a world-class couch snuggler after a day of fun. Bruce's story almost ended at an overcrowded shelter after months of being overlooked. Although he was a shelter favorite, he ended up on the euthanasia list simply because space ran out. The Misfit Ranch stepped in just in time, and now he's not just surviving—he's thriving. Bruce has done the work and is ready to bring everything he's learned to his forever home. Bruce will have training that goes with him and his new family. To set him up for continued success, we're looking for a home without cats or very young children, where he can continue building on the incredible foundation he's already been given. If you're looking for a loyal adventure buddy who also happens to be an expert snuggler, Bruce is ready to be your best friend. 🖤🐾

Story
ZELDA IS IN FOSTER CARE IN HESPERIA CALIF AND MUST ME MET AND PICKED UP THERE. Zelda is a stunning 1-year-old, 85-pound XL Bully with a rare merle coat and an even more beautiful personality. She is looking for a loving forever home with someone who is familiar with her breed and committed to continuing her training and socialization. Zelda absolutely loves people. She is affectionate, happy, eager to please, and greets everyone with kisses, a wiggly butt, and her famous giant tail that never seems to stop wagging. Everyone who meets her falls in love with her sweet nature. Her rescue story is one we'll never forget. Zelda was found abandoned in the desert, scared and unsure of people. For a week, we returned every day to feed her and slowly earn her trust. When it came time to rescue her, our trapper set a humane trap. Within five minutes, Zelda walked right inside. As soon as we opened the door, she calmly walked out, wagging her huge tail, giving kisses, and gently taking treats from our hands. It was as if she knew she was finally safe. Sadly, no one ever came looking for Zelda. She wasn't microchipped, and we can only assume she was abandoned instead of being taken to a shelter. Since coming into our rescue, she has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and is now fully vetted and ready to begin her new life with a family who will never let her down again. Zelda has been introduced to two large male Bullies and did wonderfully, greeting them with nonstop tail wags and friendly body language. She is not a good fit for a home with cats and would do best in a home without small pets. Because of her size and strength, she will do best with an experienced owner who understands the XL Bully breed. XL Bullies are known for being loyal, affectionate, and devoted companions. With consistent training, regular exercise, and continued socialization, they make wonderful family members. Zelda is still young and eager to learn. She can be strong on leash, but she is incredibly people-oriented and truly wants to please her person. She quickly became a favorite at our veterinary clinic during her vaccination and spay appointments. The staff couldn't stop admiring her unique beauty and friendly personality, and everyone wanted to come over to pet her. The only thing dangerous about Zelda is that giant tail that wags at the speed of light—so watch your knees! To request an adoption application, please email alphadogpetrescue@yahoo.com.

Story
Meet Guerro — Big Body, Tiny Dog Mentality! Guerro is a 50-pound American Staffy with a compact tank of a body, a giant smile, and the personality of a dog who has absolutely no idea he’s not a lap dog. He’s cuddly, energetic, independent, toy-motivated, people-oriented, and a quick learner. Guerro loves being wherever his people are and will happily follow you around, but he doesn’t need to be the center of attention. He’s perfectly happy hanging out nearby and entertaining himself. Favorite Toy Literally anything.Balls, squeaky toys, Kevlar toys with squeakers, ropes, stuffed animals — Guerro isn't picky! Nylon heavy-duty toys definitely last the longest, but honestly, any other toy has a very limited lifespan in his world. The upside? Those toys may only survive 10 minutes, but it's probably the best 10 minutes of his day. What Makes Him Funny Guerro plays fetch by jumping like a goat, which never fails to make people laugh. And then there’s his obsession with water. If you turn on the hose, Guerro has officially arrived at the party. His Sweetest Habit He loves cuddling up next to his person with a toy. Despite his playful side, Guerro is a total cuddle bug and a serious couch potato at heart. His Perfect Day Sleep in. Sunning in the backyard. Tug-of-war. Playing in the hose. Nap in bed. Repeat. Honestly, Guerro has life figured out. What Makes Guerro Special Guerro is happiest simply being where his people are. He’ll follow you everywhere, but he doesn't demand constant attention. He knows how to entertain himself and is incredibly good at matching the energy around him. Want to go do something? He's ready. Want to lounge around all day? Even better. Guerro may be 50 pounds, but somewhere in that American Staffy body is a Tiny Dog who firmly believes he belongs wherever his people are — preferably on the couch, with a toy, getting some cuddles.

Story
Meet Jewel — A Little Shy, A Whole Lot of Love Jewel is a 3-year-old, 45-pound Pit mix who may not be the first dog to run up and greet a stranger, but give her a little time and patience, and you’ll discover an incredibly affectionate, loyal girl who just wants to be near her people. Jewel is affectionate, energetic, food-motivated, and a little shy. New people can make her nervous, so she needs someone willing to let her warm up at her own pace. Once she trusts you, though, she has a very sweet way of showing you that you've become her person. Her favorite place? Wherever you are. Jewel will follow you around the house like your very own furry shadow. And if you're busy doing something she finds completely unnecessary, she'll simply walk over, sit directly in front of you, and politely interrupt. Apparently, whatever you're doing can wait. She is great with other dogs, crate trained, house broken, and walks well on a leash.She enjoys a good walk, some training, a chance to get her zoomies out, or just curling up and sleeping the day away. Favorite Food / Treat Jewel is very food motivated, and her favorite way to start the morning is eating her breakfast right from your hand. It's her preferred way of saying, "Good morning, we're best friends, right?" Jewel's Perfect Day Wake up and eat breakfast from her person's hand. Go for a 15–20 minute morning walk. Then spend the rest of the day following her person around the house, supervising everything they're doing. The afternoon can go one of several ways: sleep, walk, run, train, repeat. Jewel isn't picky. At the end of the day, take another walk, maybe let those zoomies loose, then settle down next to her person for some quiet time. And finally? Sleep until tomorrow and do it all over again. Jewel doesn't need a complicated life. She just needs someone who will give her the time to feel safe, earn her trust, and let her show them just how much love she has to give.
