Broken Doesn’t Mean Disposable
It’s a bad time to be a dog or cat. Shelters are full and resources are scarce. People are struggling to pay vet bills or to keep their animals in their homes.
Animals that need a little extra care - whether it be a surgery or behavioral training - are at the greatest risk. Which is where we come in. We give animals wounded in body and spirit hope. We believe if an animal is broken, they can still thrive. Thanks to our veterinary and training partners, we have helped give hundreds of animals - most of which were facing euthanasia - a chance at a great life.

Meet Some of Our Misfits
Left: We had 3 litters of kittens and their mammas come to us as strays. They all contracted panleukopenia, a deadly and extremely contagious virus that kills 90 percent of kittens that aren’t treated and 60 percent who are. Our veterinary partners and volunteers worked around the clock to help these babies - and we were able to save 11 of 16 - a much higher survival rate than normal. Center: Zara has been in our care over a year as a sanctuary dog due to a seizure disorder. She came to us from the Humane Society after being found emaciated in a kennel filled with her own feces and with open wounds. We believe the seizures are a direct cause of her abuse which included physical head trauma, malnutrition, and severe emotional stress. Your donation will help us continue to help Zara get treatment and live life safe and happy. Right: Hugene’s owner passed away unexpectedly. Her family had run out of options for him, due to his size and fear aggression and scheduled him to be euthanized. We stepped in hours before his appointment and sent him for rehabilitation at our friends at Hounds from Hell Dog Training. There, he has learned structure and confidence. He has done so well, he may become a therapy dog! Your donation will help him continue to thrive.
Voted Best Non-Profit Organization in Kittitas County 3 years in a row!
Josie’s Misfit Ranch is an approved 501(c)3 foster home based rescue that cares and advocates for misfit animals in Kittitas County and surrounding areas. “Misfit” animals are wounded in body or spirit who have been discarded, mistreated or ignored because they are considered less than “perfect.” We show these animals the love and compassion they deserve, build their confidence, and celebrate all they can do instead of focusing on what they can’t.
What makes us different?
Animals now available for adoption at Josie’s Misfit Ranch
Josie’s & The Misfit Gang
Our primary goal is to provide medical care, foster care and training to “misfit” animals – those who have behavior problems, or physical limitations – and who have been mistreated, discarded or ignored. These animals are at a greater risk of being euthanized as they are often overlooked by potential adopters. We help them heal, and ultimately find them forever homes where they are loved and valued.
Our vision at Josie’s Misfit Ranch is to create a community where all animals are well-cared for and loved.
Feed a dog for a month!
Many of the misfits that come to the ranch have not had regular and nutritious meals, or have conditions that require special food. We research all the dog food we give our Misfits to make sure it is of the highest quality and has no history of recalls or concerns, so they can feel and look their best.
