Josie’s Misfit Ranch

We are so overwhelmed with gratitude for our village who came to the ranch Saturday to celebrate JMRs 3rd birthday! Fosters, volunteers and sponsors were invited as appreciation for their support which has allowed us to save 213 animals. We couldn’t do it without these amazing animal advocates!

Congratulations to Chris who has made sweet Biscuit part of his forever family! Chris works at Amazon and will be taking Biscuit to work every day with him! We can’t wait to see her security badge photo! #thankyouforchoosingrescue #foreverhome

Juan at Anaya Landscaping will donate a bag of dog food to the ranch for any new clients who mention that Josie sent them his way! So if you needed help with gardening or landscaping, give Juan a call at +1 (509) 306-9846! ❤️❤️❤️ He’s a great friend of the ranch!

Sophie has come so far thanks to foster and trainer Contessa! Once abandoned and tied to a mailbox, she now facing a bright future. She is up for adoption at www.josiesmisditranch.org to an experienced owner who is looking for an energetic love bug who will make a great companion!

Congratulations to the Flynn family who have made Perry a permanent part of their family! Perry was found as a stray by one of the Flynn kids near a school. They offered to foster if we could support getting him healthy and finding him a home. Turns out Perry was already home!

Our garage sale this Saturday March 29 is going to be EPIC. People have been so generous and we have amazing finds like this drone that’s only been used once and retails for $2000. Make sure to stop by 1005 Canyon Road (across from Super One) between 8 am and 2 pm Saturday to find some treasure.

9-year-old Bella came to us this weekend from the shelter, where she was taken after her life-long owner got sick and could no longer care for her.
Please help Bella and other senior dogs from dying in a shelter with a broken heart by donating to www.josiesmisfitranch.org #olddogsrock

Congratulations to Reisling who found his humans James and Lori from Leavenworth who couldn’t love him more! Reisling and siblings, dubbed the Wine Club 5, were found in pretty poor condition near a winery and needed help. They are now healthy and happy and three have found loving forever homes!

Thanks to the Carstens family who agreed to foster Beau who was living with a homeless person who could no longer care for him. Beau is happy to get the attention from his human foster family in a real home! Be like the Carstens! Email marla@josiesmisfitranch.org to learn more about fostering.

Meet Coco and her 3 pups, who came to us from the Yakima shelter after being found abandoned under a house. Thanks to a family who stepped up to foster, these pups will have a much better life. Be a hero! Email marla@josiesmisfitranch.org to learn more about fostering. #fosteringsaveslives

We took in three small dogs today … all of which will be up for adoption in the next week. Are you looking for a new friend? Email marla@josiesmisfitranch.org to learn more about these sweeties!

This is 8-month-old Maple! She and her siblings were found in an apple box somewhere around Yakima and brought to the shelter. She was adopted but now needs a new home. She’s smart, good with cats and loves kids! Can you give a small young dog an amazing home? Email marla@josiesmisfitranch.org

We are looking for a foster for this 2-year-old handsome guy. We are told he’s good with kids, cats and dogs. He does need to be neutered. We pay for everything including vet visits, food and supplies. Email marla@josiesmisfitranch.com to learn more about being a foster!

We have some bonded older kittens that would do great in a home together. And we are offering a discount for both! If you are interested in doubling your fun with two cats email makayla@josiesmisfitranch.org or fill out our online application at www.josiesmisfitranch.org

Members of Central’s National Residence Hall Honorary collected old ripped and stained clothing to make dog toys for the ranch! It’s a great project because it not only helps animals but also upcycles clothing that would otherwise go to a landfill. #centralwashingtonuniversity #makingadifference

Biscuit has a condition common in Shar Pei’s called entropion where the eyelid rolls inwards, causing the eyelashes to rub against the cornea, leading to discomfort and corneal damage. This $5 Friday please help by donating towards her surgery at www.josiesmisfitranch.org #5dollarfriday

A big thank you to Rodeo City Gymnastics for being a business sponsor for Josie’s Misfit Ranch.

Rodeo City Gymnastics offers classes for ages 2 and up, as well as birthday parties and open gym. They also have a competitive team that is amazing this year! #communitypartners #thankyouforyoursupport

We love it when adopters give us updates! Jack and McKenzie adopted Timmy (now Goose) and Rosie (now Olive) a year ago. McKenzie tells us: “We love them so much and can’t imagine life without them. They are the best and are definitely in charge of the house now 😊” #wherearetheynow #successstory

We got little Peanut almost two months ago. He was blind, deaf and a skinny, matted mess from being neglected. His amazing foster has done wonders with him. He’s gained 4 pounds, his hair and coat is now healthy and he has a pep in his step. Just another example of the power of love and rescue!

This baby was found super skinny wandering near the Yakima and Selah interchange and taken to the Humane Society, which is overflowing. She needs some TLC so one of our amazing fosters agreed to help. Donate to her care at www.josiesmisfitranch.org or look for us on Venmo or PayPal. #HelpUsHelpThem

Congratulations to Jacob and Twyla, one of 5 kittens found near Fred Meyer! Jacob was Twyla’s foster and decided this girl needed to stay forever.Thanks to him and other fosters, these cats now have a bright future. If you are interested in fostering please contact marla@josiesmisfitranch.org.

Congratulations to the Norris family from Puyallup who adopted Ruby over the weekend. They were looking for a dog for their 10-year-old daughter, as well as an active companion for running and other adventures. Ruby will be busy and so loved!

For Valentines Day we held a wedding for rescues and now ranch residents Sadie and Shi, both who lost their life-long partners (Sadie’s sister Pepsi and Shis friend Happy) to cancer last year. We were worried how they would adjust but they found solace in each other, and have been inseparable since!

Love is in the air today! Our good friend and foster hero Carly celebrated Valentines Day with two of her sweethearts … Trevor, her Fiance, and Baby Bear,a kitten she helped us save last year from a hay truck and who she has chosen to love forever. #fosterfail #valentinesday #fosteringsaveslives

Meet Bandit, a 7-week-old cattle dog mix. He was left by the dumpster next to the Yakima Humane Society like trash. The shelter is literally overflowing with animals people no longer want or that were dumped and there was no room for this 6-pound spitfire to be a puppy. So we were called to help.

This handsome man is Buffy, the cat of animal advocate Karen Johnson who recently passed away. He is now with one of our fosters and will soon be up for adoption as part of our Seniors for Seniors program. You can donate in Karen’s name at www.josiesmisfitranch.org or look for us on Venmo or PayPal.

A huge THANK YOU to the Ellensburg Pickleball Club (EPiC) for their generous donation of $600 that was donated to the ranch at Buddy's Barkery today! The club often raises money for local charities and told us they love the work we are doing to help animals wounded in body and spirit. #community

Kovu found his forever human and didn’t even have to move! This sweet boy was found as a tiny kitten. When his foster was recently getting ready to move, the new occupant, Brittany, fell in love with Kovu and adopted him. We are so happy for this beautiful boy! #thankyouforchoosingrescue

Ruth (left) has found her forever family! This sweet pup was found wandering the streets of Toppenish and was very thin and scared. She joins the Holcolme family in Ellensburg as a companion for their other dog Penny! #happilyeverafter #fosteringsaveslives #fureverhome

Meet Biscuit (formerly Hades), a 1-year-old Shar Pei. Her owner was struggling to care for her and asked us to step in. She is a sweet girl but needs entropion surgery and to be spayed. She needs a foster to help her recover. Email marla@josiesmisfitranch.org to learn more ❤️ #fosteringsaveslives
