Our Mission

Rescue Ranch is a dedicated 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a singular mission: to rescue, nurture, and rehome homeless dogs. We believe that every dog has the right to enjoy a life of love and are committed to a no-kill future where no pet is lost due to lack of space or treatable medical conditions.

Who We Are

Formally established in 2000, we operate in far-northern California to serve the dogs of Siskiyou County. As a privately funded organization, we rely on the generosity of individuals and foundations to impact the lives of an estimated 2,000 dogs every year.

Our Care Model

We operate two facilities: the Rescue Ranch Adoption Center and our Sanctuary. Our dogs receive comprehensive care, including wellness checks, medical treatments, training, and plenty of TLC. Beyond shelter, we provide vital community resources like our pet food bank, spay/neuter assistance, and a foster program that has been helping dogs since 2015.

Your Partner in Adoption

We believe in creating lifelong matches that celebrate the unique bond between a dog and their family. Our adoption process is carefully designed to find the best fit for both you and your potential new companion, rather than using a first-come-first-serve approach. We support you with the resources and guidance you need to ensure a successful transition into your home.

Join Our Mission

Are you ready to meet your new best friend? We invite you to view our available dogs online or visit the Adoption Center in Yreka to experience the joy of rescue for yourself. Together, we can continue to help deserving dogs find their loving forever homes.
