Story
If you are looking for a calm, wonderful sweet senior pup, Mariah is your pup! She was previously adopted from our rescue to be a companion to an elderly woman. Unfortunately, this woman ended up passing away, so she came back into our rescue. She is in great health, and still active. She just wants a loving home where she can spend the rest of the next several years with a loving person/family to give her all that she deserves. This pup as seen too much loss, as her previous adopter was the second home (that we know of) where her person had to leave her due to illness. We truly wish to see this very special girl go to a very special person or family. Are you that person or family? She's spayed, vaccines and microchipped and uber ready.

Story
What can we say about Ms Nala? She's a LARGE Pittie, and such a wonderful girl. Do to her weight and the fact that she doesn't know her own power, we cannot have her homes with small children. Would recommend teenagers to adults ONLY please. Nala just wants to be loved. She does well with other dogs, and has never been in a 2 sided fight (this means that although some have attacked her, she has NOT fought back - so we do not believe that she has ever been in a real fight). She is Goofy and very loving. She is house-trained, she does have food allergies to Chicken and Salmon, so we keep her on a diet from Authority (Petsmart) which is no more expensive than other name dog foods. This goofy sweet girl would make a great addition to anyone who has had experience with sweet Pitbulls before

Story
One-year-old, affectionate and playful pit bull with lots of love and energy to give. He’s smart, people-oriented, and has a basic training foundation — he just needs someone ready to continue it. Best suited for an active home that can provide exercise, structure, and guidance so he can really shine He just turned 1 year old on November 2 and is a sweet, energetic young pit bull who is still very much in his “puppy” phase. He was originally acquired as a puppy and has grown into a loving, people-oriented dog who enjoys attention and play. He has been around cats and small dogs with supervision. He does well overall, but sometimes forgets how big he is and can get jumpy when excited, so supervision and continued guidance are important. He completed about 6 weeks of obedience training and has a basic foundation (commands, structure), but without consistent repetition it has faded. With someone willing to restart training and provide regular exercise, he’s smart and has great potential.

I love meeting people and might greet you with my paws up just to say hello. I had an old leg injury from my shelter days, but it’s healed and I’m getting around great. I’ve been brushing up on my obedience training and I’m ready for my new family. I’m a sweet boy with a big heart, and I’m looking for my people. I want to belong to a good home where I’m loved and part of the family. I’m not complicated. I just want peace, kindness, and a place to call my own.

Story
Meet River 💙 Born around December 22, 2025, River is an absolute heart-stealer—and a certified snuggly burrito. He’s the kind of puppy who happily tucks himself into your arms, lets out a content little sigh, and makes you wonder how something this cute can even be real. Truly, he might be the cutest thing ever. River came from an unwanted litter and spent the very beginning of his life in deplorable and unsafe conditions. Thankfully, that chapter was short-lived. The Misfit Ranch stepped in, rescued River and his siblings, and gave him the chance every puppy deserves: safety, stability, and love. He’s now thriving in a wonderful foster home and soaking up all the good stuff. His mama is a very sweet pit bull, and while dad is unknown, River’s personality shines bright. He is: Great with kids Friendly with other dogs Young enough to learn to be cat-friendly Incredibly snuggly and affectionate Doing great on a solid puppy routine Well-socialized and eager to learn We estimate River will grow to about 60 pounds, making him the perfect medium-large companion for couch cuddles, daily walks, and being your constant little shadow. He would do best in a home where someone is around most of the day to provide the guidance, consistency, and love that help a puppy grow into a confident, happy dog. River is the kind of puppy who makes everything feel softer and sweeter just by being near. If you’re looking for a resilient, loving pup who’s ready to curl up with you and never look back, River is ready to roll straight into your heart. 💙🐾

Story
Meet Willow 🌿 Born around December 22, 2025, Willow is proof that the softest souls can come from the hardest beginnings. She and her siblings started life in unsafe, heartbreaking conditions—but that chapter is closed. Thanks to The Misfit Ranch, Willow is now thriving in a loving foster home and learning what it means to be safe, cherished, and spoiled (as all puppies should be). Willow’s mama is a total sweetheart pit bull, and while dad remains a mystery, one thing is certain: Willow inherited the most expressive puppy-dog eyes imaginable. One look and you’ll be volunteering snacks, belly rubs, and your entire heart. 💛 She’s: Wonderful with kids Great with other dogs Young enough to learn to be cat-friendly Snuggly, affectionate, and happily on a solid routine Very well-socialized and eager to learn We expect Willow to grow to around 60 pounds—the perfect size for couch cuddles, neighborhood walks, and being your shadow wherever you go. Willow would do best in a home where someone is around most of the day to give her the guidance, structure, and love that puppies need to grow into confident, happy dogs. In return, she promises devotion, laughter, and those unforgettable eyes watching you like you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to her… because you will be. If you’re looking for a puppy who’s equal parts gentle, joyful, and resilient, Willow is ready to put down roots and grow right alongside you. 🌱💚

Story
Due to landlord restrictions, we sadly need to rehome our 9-month-old male Boxer–Beagle mix. He is house trained, friendly, and full of personality. He loves playing with other dogs, is good with cats and kids, and truly gets along with everyone he meets. He loves going on his walks and he has a blast at the dog park. He’s still young and will need continued training and consistency, but he has so much potential and a great temperament. We are looking for a loving, stable home where he can get the time, attention, and exercise he deserves. This decision was not made lightly and is only due to housing issues. Our priority is finding him the right home.
