Adopting A Dog From Rescue Ranch
We pour our hearts into the dogs in our care. The moment a rescue dog enters our facility they become part of the Rescue Ranch family. We are committed to giving all our dogs the best possible care.
We feed our dogs twice a day, clean and sanitize their kennels, and ensure regular playtime in outdoor exercise yards. Dogs are kept in pairs or allowed to play in small groups whenever possible. Volunteers help us walk our dogs and groom them as needed. In addition, our dogs enjoy one-on-one enrichment time with our staff including basic training, ball play, agility training, and swimming in our above-ground pool.
Wellness is our top priority. All our dogs are:
- Spay/neutered
- Up to date on distemper/parvo, bordatella, and rabies vaccines
- De-wormed
- Heartworm tested
- Microchipped and registered with a free registry
- Treated for fleas and ticks as necessary
- Health-checked by a licensed veterinarian
- Given any additional medical care they require.
The Rescue Ranch Adoption Process (Adult Dogs)
Our goal is to find the right family for each dog in our care. We review applications on a best-match basis rather than first-come-first-serve. To adopt a Rescue Ranch dog, you will need to submit an application. However, please keep in mind that this does not necessarily guarantee you the dog you apply for.
All potential adopters must meet their dog in person. If you see a dog you'd like to meet on our Available Adults Page, please fill out an application for that dog. We'll be in touch with you to arrange a meet-and-greet with the dog of your choice.
Adoption steps:
- Fill out an application
- Meet the dog (or dogs) at our Adoption Center
- Share pictures of your house and yard OR arrange a home check
- Sign a contract and make an adoption donation.

A Lifetime Commitment
We make a lifetime committment to all our dogs. Signing the adoption papers doesn't mean you're on your own! We're here for our adopters, ready to help with training questions, behavior issues, and general support as you navigate your new relationship. Our free weekly socialization classes are an amazing resource and an excellent place to ask all your questions.
If you need time to make sure it's a match made in heaven, our foster-to-adopt program is a great option.
If at any time you become unable to care for your Rescue Ranch dog, we require by contract that you return the dog to our care. Whenever possible, we do all we can to keep dogs and their families together. Please reach out to our team if you need help of any kind.
