Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals

Mission: Rescue Ranch was established as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 2000. Its purpose is to rescue dogs of all breeds and create opportunities for adoption. Rescue Ranch currently positively impacts the lives of more than 2000 dogs every year, by taking in between 500-700+ dogs and rehoming more than 500 while providing others with medical, transport, food, training, evacuation and other assistance. The organization also offers donation-funded community assistance programs and free socialization classes. Rescue Ranch is a no-kill shelter that relies on donations from the community and local businesses, as well as grants from foundations and organizations. It does not receive funding from any State, County or City agencies. Proceeds from the Rescue Ranch Thrift Store also help cover some of the general operational costs. Designated Dog Evacuation Center For Siskiyou County: Rescue Ranch has been the designated dog evacuation center for Siskiyou County since 2020. During the 2021 Lava Fire, the adoption center took in 214 dogs over and above its regular contingent of about 40 residents at the time. Most had been evacuated with their owners, but there were also a number displaced, unclaimed and severely injured dogs who were treated and eventually put up for adoption. In 2022 Rescue Ranch took in 159 dogs in less than three days for a total of 169 during the McKinney Fire, and 91 dogs a few weeks later during the Mill Fire, 71 of these in less than six hours.

In March of 2020 I brought Pippin home. I'd fallen in love with him watching videos posted by his foster (that woman is a saint!) and, despite being 3 hours away in another state, rescue ranch worked with me to bring the puppy into my life. I could go on and on about how much I love him, and how clever and charismatic he is, but I'm here to tell you about RR and how great they are.
When the pandemic shut down everything, they were still hard at work. They still made sure every dog in their care had what it needed and they reached out to me to schedule a house call to provide my pup with his final round of puppy shots because, even though he was my responsibility by then, they still wanted to ensure he was well cared for.
Even before I'd found my puppy they were wonderful to work with. Every single person was willing to play matchmaker to help me meet the dogs that meet my needs. Walking around the sanctuary is also clear how much the dogs love them too. They truly want what's best for every single dog.
I highly recommend them.

We were thrilled to add another addition to our family. We decided to go the rescue route this time. After checking out several dogs and puppies with a patient staff we decided upon a three month old hound mix, Daisy. We were happy to find out the adoption fee covered vaccines and spay. Also, there is ongoing support from the rescue ranch.

I originally went up from Redding to look at a small dog, she had a lot of applications so i checked out the other small female dogs and fell in love with a small little black girl named Violet! It took awhile with my work schedule but we were able to do a visit with our other young dog Charlie. They were a match and we were able to bring her home. She's ate 3 remotes for the tv, lol but she is such a sweetheart. Her and Charlie play until they can't play anymore. So cute. They are best buddies. She gets to sleep where every she wants and loves the dirt in the backyard and the back of the sofa.

We adopted our sweet puppy in February of 2021. We had not had a dog in many years and had lots of questions. All of the people at Rescue Ranch were so helpful in making sure that we were matched up with the perfect puppy. They also make sure everyone gets the medication and vaccines they need at an affordable price. We have called many times with questions and no matter who you talk to there they spend the time to answer all your questions.
Rescue Ranch also is the first to offer aide to fire victims (there have been hundreds!), they must work around the clock! We are so impressed with them that we now send a yearly donation. I would love to volunteer there if I lived closer. Amazing organization!
