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
Captain Jack - Rready For Adventure With You!Ahoy, I’m Captain Jack, a strong, handsome Pittie mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. I’m playful, loving, and full of energy, always ready for a good time. I’m the kind of dog who makes you laugh every day with my goofy antics and love for toys. I can keep myself entertained for hours tossing a ball or squeaky toy around, and when I’m done, I’m all about the cuddles. I’m obedience trained and know my manners. I walk nicely on a leash, especially with someone confident who knows how to handle a strong dog. I’d be happiest with a handler who understands determined breeds or has Rottweiler or bully breed experience. I’m crate trained, smart, and always eager to learn more. I’d do best in a home with a fenced yard where I can play, stretch my legs, and go on nice walks or runs. I love adults and older kids who can match my energy, but I’m a little too strong for young ones under 12. I can be selective with other dogs, so a home where I’m your main sidekick would be perfect. I’ve got a sense of humor, a zest for life, and a loyal heart that never quits. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate, confident companion who will keep you smiling and fit right in with your active lifestyle, I’m your guy. ##2430948##

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
I GIVE MEANING TO THE SAYING GENTLE GIANT! I am the most gentle boy you will ever meet! Please don’t let my size fool you—I think I was a Chihuahua in my previous life because I want to sit on your lap! If you have crumbs or sauce on your chin, you won’t need a napkin—I’ll take care of that for you! I love, love, love to give kisses to everyone I meet. Big or small, I don’t discriminate—I will lick them all! Some of my best features? My fawn, shiny, soft, and silky coat. And my eyes? Definitely a showstopper! When I smile, I can light up the whole room, and that’s exactly what I live to do—make you smile! I’m always finding new ways to keep you happy. I’m active, well-trained on a leash, and my manners are on point. My family didn’t want to give me up, but they had no choice. The only thing you’ll ever have to worry about with me? Sharing your snacks—because I am a snacker! The only thing not safe around me is a bag of Cheetos! I’m great with kids, but no small dogs or cats for me, please! ##2291498##

Story
 Hey, I’m Obi Wan, Your Chill Sidekick  I’m about 1.9 years old, 46 pounds of easygoing pittie mix, and I like to keep things simple. I’m calm, sweet, and easy to be around. I don’t start trouble, and I don’t go looking for it either. I just do my own thing and enjoy the good stuff in life like naps, snacks, and squeaky toys. I get along best with older dogs who respect my space, and I’d be just as happy being your one and only. I’m not cat tested. 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. ##2450219##

Story
Meet Grimm 🐾 — proof that a little dog can have a BIG survival story. Born around October 13, 2025, Grimm came into the world already beating the odds. At just 4 weeks old, he was found alone under a car, with no mama in sight. A kind stranger stepped in to keep him safe—and then had to do something even braver: say a very firm “absolutely not” when someone suggested taking Grimm to be fed to a snake. (Yes, really. 😳) Thankfully, that good Samaritan reached out to The Misfit Ranch, and Grimm’s story took a much happier turn. Now old enough for adoption, Grimm is thriving in his foster home and showing everyone exactly who he’s meant to be: a sweet, social, playful little lovebug. He’s a soft tan color (extra cute), possibly a pittie/lab mix, and he’s equal parts wiggles, zoomies, and snuggles. Grimm adores people, loves to play, and is happiest when he can curl up close after a good romp. Because Grimm is still very much a baby, he’ll do best in a home where someone is around most of the day to help him grow into a confident, well-mannered adult. We expect him to grow to about 50–60 pounds when fully grown—just the right size for couch cuddles and life adventures. Grimm is incredibly sweet, resilient, and ready for a family who will cherish him the way he’s always deserved. If you’re looking for a puppy with a powerful story and an even bigger heart, Grimm might be your perfect match. 💛

Roman: The Big Lug Looking for a Soft Place to Land Hi. I am Roman. I am a 65 pound Boxer mix with the kind of face that makes people smile even before I do anything. I am a big soft lug who wants a porch, a sofa, and a human who likes slow pats on the head. My energy is just right. I can hang out, go for a walk, sniff around the yard, then come inside and settle next to you. I walk well on a leash. I do not make things hard. I like being easy. I dont want any ruckus. I get along with male and female dogs. I am a gentleman until someone tries to boss me around. I do not start trouble, but I also do not let pushy dogs run the show. I usually get along best with female dogs. Having said that, I have a rescue buddy (male) here and we do great together. We move at the same pace. We enjoy the same simple things. So I guess, like you humans, it's if our personalities get along! People say I am the kind of dog who makes life feel calmer. I am not loud. I am not clingy. I am just present. Sit with me for two minutes and you will get it. I am the dog who leans into your leg and lets out a long breath. I make the world feel lighter. If you want a sweet older boy who loves porch time, couch time, and just being near you, I am your guy. I am ready for my home. Apply to foster or adopt me and let’s make some quiet, good memories together.   ##2537421##
