Run entirely by volunteers, Misfit Ranch is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit rescue and sanctuary founded by the Parker family in Las Vegas, NV, who are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of abused, neglected and misunderstood dogs in need of a better tomorrow.
The founding family has taken in many dogs over the years that were in need of homes and provided them with medical care, spay/neuter, rehabilitation, training and forever home placement without passing the cost on to the new families or seeking donations from the community.
Most of the dogs who came to the family were turned away by other professionals or had special needs that could not be accommodated elsewhere and were facing euthanasia. These dogs wouldn’t be thriving and providing joy to their new families today without the help they received. Some of these dogs were rescued from abusive situations and are still currently with the Misfit Ranch family receiving care today.
The family is thankful to have been able to help all the dogs they have on their own but they've run out of space and resources. In order to continue to help these dogs in desperate need of care and compassion, they need help from members of the dog loving community who are able.
The Misfit Ranch team has a three-stage expansion plan that is currently in progress and dependent on community support.
STAGE ONE - in progress
Construction of main kennel building, medical building, nutrition building, play yard, training building, storage buildings and living quarters for the volunteer teams. Establish utilities. Obtain a second transport vehicle.
STAGE TWO
Construction of a cattery, coop, barn and parlor for the purpose of expanding our service to assist abused, neglected and abandoned cats, goats, chickens, pigs and more! The addition of these animals to the ranch is highly beneficial to the dogs in our care and we're excited to expand our services for this reason.
STAGE THREE
Construction of a comprehensive training center, dock diving center and education center where the community can come to get help with their own dogs and learn about dog training, dog sports, dog nutrition and more!
MISSION
Provide a voice for those without one.
Educate adoptive families and the community on breed characteristics, canine nutrition, training and home care.
Elevate the quality of life for the abandoned, abused, neglected and misunderstood by providing a safe place to lay their head, lots of love and compassion and the relief that they'll never go without food, a home or human companionship ever again.
