Story
Meet Ella – Sweet, Spunky, and One-of-a-Kind Ella is a goofy, determined, and affectionate girl who’s full of personality and heart. She absolutely lives for her toys, loves splashing in water, and never turns down a tasty treat. One of her most endearing quirks? She does a joyful little happy dance around her favorite things — it’s pure magic to watch! While Ella has had a tough start in life, she’s never lost her spark. She came to us as a young pup after experiencing a medical emergency (a prolapse) that her former family couldn’t afford to treat. She was understandably shut down at first, but with time, love, and patience, her silly and playful nature began to shine. And once it did — we knew we had someone truly special on our hands. Ella is what we lovingly call neuro-diverse. She moves through the world in her own unique way, with some behaviors that may seem a little different — like circling or moving her head in figure eights, and having a shorter attention span than most dogs. While we don’t have a formal diagnosis, it’s clear that she experiences and responds to her environment differently. That’s not a flaw — it’s just part of who she is. She’s had some positive experiences with other dogs and may do well with the right calm, respectful canine companion. But what Ella needs most is a quiet, understanding home with adults (or older, gentle kids) who are patient, respectful of her boundaries, and ready to embrace her just as she is. Ella is bursting with love and zest for life — she just needs the right person or family to help her continue her journey. With the right match, she’ll be the most loyal walking buddy, couch cuddler, and source of daily smiles. If you're looking for a truly special companion who will fill your home with joy, call the Ranch and ask to meet Miss Ella today!

While they are with us, each and every rescue dog receives the best of care in a loving and nurturing environment.

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 )  APPLY NOW       March 7, 2026, 12:07 pm

Story
Meet Freya! If you’re looking for a truly special companion who’s bursting with love and smarts, Freya just might be your dream dog! This unique and adorable girl has been patiently waiting since December 2022 for her perfect forever family—a home where she can give all the hugs and kisses her sweet little heart (and body!) can muster. With her cuddly personality and sharp intelligence, Freya is ready to fill your life with joy and endless snuggles. Freya’s not just a sweetheart—she’s also a clever learner who thrives on new challenges. She already knows how to “Sit,” “Down,” “Roll Over,” and gently take treats, and she’s eager to learn even more. Imagine all the tricks and fun games you could teach her with a little one-on-one training! She’s a quick study and a true star when it comes to obedience. When it comes to other dogs, Freya has had plenty of positive experiences here at the shelter. She’s developed a special preference for confident male companions who are cool with letting her be in charge—because this little lady loves to take the lead! A home with that perfect balance of fun and respect would be ideal for her. Freya would thrive in a moderately active home where she can romp around, play fetch, and keep both her mind and body moving. Because she tends to hold onto weight, it’s important she finds a family committed to keeping her at a healthy weight through regular exercise and proper care. Could you be the lucky person to give Freya the loving home she’s been dreaming of? Don’t wait—call the Ranch today and come meet this incredible girl who’s ready to steal your heart!

Story
Rescue Ranch puppies are raised through our puppy foster program. They will have met adults, children, often other dogs, maybe cats. 16-week or older puppies will have taken part in our "Reading to Rescue Pups" program and attended many events. When they are at least 8 weeks old, puppies are given a wellness exam by a licensed veterinarian.  Before going home, all puppies will have been dewormed and received all age-appropriate vaccinations for parvo/distemper, and Bordetella. If they are 4 months or older they will also have their rabies vaccination. All p uppies are also microchipped and registered with  911PetChip . We require spay/neutering of puppies at 6-8 months old (or the appropriate age for giant breeds)  by our veterinarian. The procedure is covered by the adoption fee. Alternatively, adopters can choose to have the procedure done by their own vet (proof required),  and a portion of the cost will be refunded.    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 )  APPLY NOW       July 12, 2026, 6:05 pm
