My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Carmelita!

Carmelita is a goofy, playful young girl who loves playing with her doggy pals, especially puppies! She was one of our mama dogs and seems to still have some of that motherly instinct, even though her babies have long since been adopted. She is often paired with young puppies as she knows how to be gentle with them but she also loves playing with them! She is currently in foster with 4 medium to large dogs and does very well with them too. She even coexists well with cats!

Carmelita has an overall timid and skittish personality so she will need to go to a quiet home with at least another doggy pal or two to help her gain some confidence. If there are no other dogs around, she will not come out of her shell so she needs to have a friend around!

She is a very curious girl and likes to watch the world around her go by, especially from the windowsill or the comforts of a little hidey hole. She likes to watch TV as well at times and listen to the voices and sounds coming from it. Carmelita is starting to follow her foster around the house a bit and has started trying to sleep in the bedroom with her! She is making progress day by day and even comes up and gives little hand kisses before running back into hiding.

If you think you would like to give this sweet, goofy, and shy little girl a chance, call the Ranch to come meet her today! Since she is in foster, please give at least a day's notice before you come by.

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.

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 )

Additional adoption info

You will first need to stop by our rescue and meet our dogs! If interested in one of our dogs you will need to fill out an application. We also do a home visit if in the area, to make sure you have a secure and a dog-friendly environment. If out of the Siskiyou county area we can easily make other arrangements. Our adoption donation is $195.00. We have a reduced rate for seniors, the disabled, and veterans. Our "Senior for Senior" program offers a further discount and can help with the cost of dog ownership. The adoption fee for puppies who grew up at the Ranch (or in foster here) includes spay/neutering when old enough and is $295.00. All of our dogs are up to date on shots, heart worm tested and any medical issue are treated. Every dog that is going to a new home must be spayed or neutered before they leave Rescue Ranch.

More about this rescue

Rescue Ranch is a small no kill shelter. We have kennels for 22 dogs. We primarily take in dogs from city and county shelters in Siskiyou County before the dogs are out of time due to space limitations. We also make 3-4 trips a year to county shelters in central California to save smaller dogs that can overwhelm shelter resources in those counties. We started about 18 years ago with 40 acres far outside Yreka and were able to help many dogs in the county due to the efforts of the founders and many volunteers. In August of 2009 our new facility opened. We are now about 2 miles outside of town on 10 acres. We have been steadily growing through the efforts of the committed staff, volunteers, and volunteer board members. In 2012 we had 80 adoptions, 2013 we had 105 adoptions and in 2014 we had 167 adoptions. This year in 2020, we are projecting to place over 500 dogs into happy homes! We operate solely on the generous donations from the public and our wonderful volunteers. We have added boarding to our facility and all proceeds from the boarding fees are used to help with our expenses so we can help more dogs find their forever homes.
Our mission is to Rescue-Nurture-Rehome dogs into loving and safe forever homes---We do it for the dogs!
