Story

Meet Monty – The Complete Package with a Heart of Gold! Say hello to Monty, a dapper young gentleman who truly lives up to his name — the whole kit and caboodle wrapped into one handsome, athletic package! If you’re searching for a smart, friendly, and loyal companion who’s ready to become your adventure partner and best friend, Monty might just be your perfect match. Monty’s journey hasn’t always been easy. He came from a challenging background, having experienced an abusive home early in life. Since April 2022, Monty has been patiently waiting at the shelter for his forever family, hoping to find a loving home where he can finally settle and thrive. When he first arrived, all Monty wanted to do was hug the staff members — as if thanking them for keeping him safe and loved. Through it all, his loving spirit and deep affection for people have never wavered. This sweet boy approaches everyone he meets with a wagging tail and a warm heart, eager to make new friends and share his joy. With a moderate energy level, Monty strikes a wonderful balance — he’s lively enough to keep up with hikes, runs, and outdoor adventures, yet calm enough to relax and cuddle when the day winds down. His athleticism shines through in his graceful movements and enthusiasm for playtime. Monty is a quick learner who already knows Sit and Down, and he walks politely on leash, making every walk an enjoyable outing for both of you. When Monty greets you, his excitement can be contagious! He tends to bounce with joy, thrilled to see you, but he quickly settles down once he knows he has your full attention. Monty is a true people-pleaser, always striving to earn your approval and shower you with love. Socially, Monty is a superstar. He thrives in the company of medium to large dogs, sharing space with his furry friends gracefully and happily. He’s also great with kids, showing a gentle side that makes him a perfect fit for families of all ages. And if you love road trips, you’ll be delighted to know Monty is a fan of car rides — he’s ready to join you wherever the road takes you! Despite his size, Monty is a gentle giant at heart. His kind demeanor and respectful nature make him an ideal companion for a wide range of households, especially those who appreciate a dog with both brains and heart. If you’re ready to open your home and heart to a remarkable dog who’s as loving as he is athletic, don’t wait! Call the Ranch today to meet Monty and start your new adventure together!

Story

Meet Arlow – Your Playful, Loyal, Toy-Loving Companion! Say hello to Arlow, a charming and spirited gentleman who’s ready to bring joy, love, and a whole lot of playtime into your life! Though he’s a mature guy, Arlow absolutely defies his age—he’s active, curious, and always up for the next adventure. Whether it’s a walk, a game of fetch, or just some quality time with his favorite toys, Arlow still lives life to the fullest. Arlow has been patiently waiting for his forever home since July 2023, and we can’t wait for someone to see the amazing dog he is. He thrives on human attention and would love nothing more than a cozy bed, a few good toys, and a family to call his own. This smart boy is already well-trained—he knows “Sit,” “Down,” walks well on a leash, and is incredibly attentive. He absolutely loves toys, especially durable ones like Kongs and Nylabones. But fair warning: don’t say the word “toy” unless you’re ready to see pure joy (and maybe play a lot of fetch)—he takes playtime very seriously! Arlow adapts well to his environment but seems happiest and most at ease in a quieter home with a big yard where he can stretch his legs and relax. He has done well with a few dogs during his time at the shelter, but he may prefer being your one and only. He’s the kind of dog who builds a deep bond with his person and may be happiest soaking up all the love and attention for himself. If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving dog who still has plenty of pep in his step and a heart full of love, Arlow might be the perfect match. Let’s help this long-time resident finally find the home he deserves! Call the Ranch to schedule a meet-and-greet with Arlow today—he’s been waiting just for you.

Meet Duke — The Life of the Party and Your Future Best Friend! Say hello to Duke, a happy-go-lucky pit mix puppy with a heart full of love and a personality that shines! Duke is part of an incredible 14-puppy litter, born to Marley, a sweet mom who was abandoned in a trailer park. Thanks to rescuers, both Marley and her pups are now safe, healthy, and looking for their forever families. Marley herself is also ready to find a loving home, so if you’re looking to adopt a devoted adult dog, she could be the perfect match. Duke is bursting with confidence, charm, and playful energy. From the moment you meet him, his bright eyes and wagging tail will have you smiling. Whether he’s chasing toys, exploring the yard, going for walks, or cuddling with his favorite humans, Duke’s enthusiasm and affection are completely contagious. This social boy is great with kids and other dogs, making him a wonderful fit for a loving, active family. He’s also super smart and eager to learn, so with consistent training and plenty of love, Duke will grow into a loyal, well-mannered companion who’s always ready for adventure. Duke is looking for a family that can match his playful spirit, share in his curiosity, and give him all the snuggles and fun he deserves. And if you have room in your heart, consider giving Marley a chance too — together or separately, they’re both ready for loving homes. If you’re ready for endless laughter, joy, and puppy love, Duke is ready to steal your heart — and maybe even your favorite spot on the couch! Apply today to meet Duke (and maybe Marley!) and bring home your new best friends! 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 October 23, 2025, 5:52 pm

Story

Meet Stewey – The Water-Loving Cuddle Bug Ready to Make a Splash in Your Life! Stewey isn’t just any dog—he’s a seal in disguise! This handsome, middle-aged pitbull has earned the nickname “land seal” for good reason: he lives for water. Whether he’s splashing around in his water trough, soaking up the sun after a playful swim, or just rolling in a puddle, Stewey is happiest when wet and having fun. But don’t let his water-loving ways fool you—this goofy guy has a heart of gold. Stewey has a quirky, lovable personality that’s impossible not to adore. One of his favorite antics? Proudly carrying his empty food bowl around with a big, silly grin, as if to say, “Look what I’ve got!” It’s just a glimpse of the playful, silly charm he brings to every day. Beneath the fun-loving exterior, Stewey is a total sweetheart and a cuddle enthusiast. He adores people of all ages, making him a wonderful family companion who thrives on affection and attention. He’s also been introduced to a few female dogs and gets along well, enjoying the occasional chase or wrestling session—though he’s just as happy to lounge nearby afterward. Stewey would thrive in a home that loves water as much as he does and is ready to share in all his goofy, loving moments. He’s playful, affectionate, and full of heart—a one-of-a-kind companion who brings joy wherever he goes. Ready to dive into a life filled with love, laughter, and splashes? Call the Ranch today to meet Stewey and let him make your home his happy place! This dog, as well as several other dogs and puppies, are currently in our program through a special collaboration with Siskiyou County Animal Control. Due to severe overcrowding and limited resources in the region, many shelters are faced with incredibly difficult decisions. Together, we’re working to give these dogs a better chance by finding them loving homes or transferring them to partner rescues. They’re available for adoption just like our Rescue Ranch pups — but because of the urgency of the situation, they may be transferred quickly. If you're interested, we highly encourage you to act fast — they deserve a loving home, and it could be yours! 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.

Story

Meet Pierce — the sweet, soulful pup with the most endearing little ears and a heart overflowing with quiet love. Pierce came to us from a hoarding situation where, despite good intentions, things simply became too overwhelming. Since arriving at the Ranch, this gentle boy has been slowly but surely blossoming into the affectionate, trusting companion he was always meant to be. At his core, Pierce is pure kindness. When he first came in, he was understandably timid — especially around leashes. Just the sight of one would make him freeze or flatten to the ground, likely a response shaped by his past. But with patience, gentle handling, and steady encouragement, Pierce has made truly beautiful progress. He now walks calmly at your side, taking in the world one thoughtful step at a time. He’s learning to trust people, too. Pierce greets new friends with soft curiosity, offering a gentle sniff before settling nearby to enjoy their quiet company. He may not be the first to leap into your lap, but once he feels safe, he loves staying close and soaking up calm affection. And one of our favorite quirks? Pierce loves car rides! Not in the usual head-out-the-window-with-tail-wagging kind of way — instead, he sits on the floor of the back seat, lifting his head just high enough to peek out the window. It’s as if he’s taking in the world with quiet wonder, one careful glimpse at a time. Pierce gets along wonderfully with other dogs and has done great meeting cats as well. He’s also not food aggressive and does not resource guard, making him an easy, gentle presence around other animals. His calm, steady nature makes him a comforting friend to both people and pets alike. This tender-hearted boy is ready for the next chapter of his life — one filled with stability, kindness, and a family who will cherish his soft spirit. If you’re looking for a companion who will grow with you day by day, Pierce might just be your perfect match. Call the Ranch today to meet Pierce and experience the quiet magic he carries wherever he goes. Thank you for considering adopting a Rescue Ranch dog.

Story

Meet Pablo – A Loyal, Gentle-Hearted Pup! Pablo is a one-of-a-kind dog with a distinctive split ear and a personality to match! He may be a little shy when you first meet him, but once he feels safe, he’ll become your shadow, your quiet sidekick, and your loyal best friend all rolled into one. In new or unfamiliar settings, Pablo looks to his person for reassurance, navigating the world with cautious curiosity and a heart full of love. Pablo came from a hoarding situation, so he’s comfortable around other dogs and loves to play — he enjoys roughhousing with doggy friends who match his playful yet confident style. Despite his spirited play with other pups, he is always gentle and affectionate with humans, making him a sweet companion for his family. He would thrive in a peaceful home with a doggy friend and a family ready to offer patience, understanding, and love.
