Maya is a 2 yo spayed Anatolian/GP cross who is ready for her own property and family to guard!

She’s doing well around goats, sheep, horses and cows and thrives having a partner. She’s still a bit timid around the livestock but proving herself safe and ready to go to work.

She’s done well on the highlines around poultry paying them no mind. If you are looking for a guardian or partner let us know!

Transport is available and we are located in NE Washington

So I needed to do an update the transport headed to California fell through. However, we have one puppy home who will be picking up their pup on September 19th and is willing to take other ones back to the west side of Washington near Centralia.

We can still help with other transport.

These pups are doing absolutely fabulous. They spend their days in the goat pen with pesky young kids and their mother and we’ve had zero issues.

If you have been looking for a up-and-coming, livestock guardian dog, these guys are going to do really well. We have one male and one female still available. Feel free to reach out for more information.

Located in Northeast Washington in Inchelium

Again, transport is available.

Here at Rizn Ranch, we placed dogs based on their individual personalities and temperaments into home best for their success.

Today I am going to be making a listing of dogs that are needing to be rehomed. These are not dogs that have come through our program. I am doing this as a courtesy to their owners.

Please do not contact us about the dogs. This is all the information we have available.

The contacts will be listed with each Dog.

First up we have:

❇️ Drew is her name. Someone just dumped her out a little over 2 yrs ago. My son found her in his yard raw paws and only 80 lbs. he kept her for a year but just was not fair for her with. No yard , just no room for her. I took her in last June a yr ago. Got her spayed and she is flourishing. She has a big yard but loves to be in the house as well. I have 3 little dogs. 1 of them , my 5 year old sh*tsu has not adjusted to her at all over a year now. Drew ignores when barks and chasing her until yesterday. Drew had a bone outside and appears gizmo tried to take from her. Gizmo was bit on his head. Drew could have killed him but didn’t because that was not her intention. Drew is an amazing loving dog. She gets along great with my 2 other terriors. It is not her issue with gizmo, it is Gixmos issue. We have not enough to separate them. I am heartbroken but I cannot keep her as gizmo has been here for 5 yrs. I need to find her home quickly.

Here owners contact is: Lanier [email protected] and 360-600-9114

Second up…

❇️ 1 year old Great Pyrenees/ Anatolian Shepard

Riggins is currently living as a family dog which is why we’ve made the decision to re- home. As it is very hard for our family to make this decision as we are very happy with him. But ultimately know he would prefer to be on a farm/land. And don’t want to continue holding him back from that. He’s extremely independent and has great guardian instincts. He is currently living with a small child, dog, and cat. He does good with all of them but doesn’t know his size. Up to date with vaccines, not neutered. Owners name Hailey: (509) 724-6320

And third is:

❇️ This is our beloved purebred Kangal named Koda from a reputable breeder in the Caribou. Her parents were health, elbow and hip tested before breeding. She is 4, turning 5 on April 20th of next year. She is spayed and I acquired her when she was 18 months old since I needed a semi-mature dog due to a high predator load living at the base of a mountain in suburbia. She grew up guarding sheep and working with horses before she came to me.
At my house, she came into a home with two other senior dogs, and then I rescued another puppy- a Cane Corso who was 12 weeks old at time (pictured with her). They are best friends and have never had any issues. I have always been very careful with feeding them separately as a precaution because I understand the seriousness of having power breeds in my home with my children and other pets. Koda is great with cats, and I have always been extremely careful with introducing her to other animals and people in my home. She loves going for walks and has very good leash manners.
She is an excellent protector of the home and my small livestock, which included chickens and ducks. She is absolutely courageous at taking on bears.

Here is the tricky part. Due to some trauma that occurred out of my control in my home which I don’t want to get into details publicly, she now breaches my front door and goes on wild adventures all over my neighborhood. I usually am able to track her down but the last time bylaw got her before I found her. My back yard is super secure and she isn’t able to get out of there. I used no-climb 5 foot fence and it works just fine. 6 foot would be an even safer bet. It needs to be maintained and perimeter checked. She does not ever try to dig out underneath.

She would probably be suited to another farm, but only if she had a proper heated and enclosed dog house or barn for when it’s cold. She’s interesting because she is also happy as a pet as long as she has access to a yard and gets to go out for a couple hours a day. She adores walks and is very sweet and loving when she gets to know you as “her people”. I love her with my whole heart, as does my family. As mentioned she is good with people (needs to feel safe with men and be introduced properly) kids as long as they are respectful of her boundaries, some dogs with proper introductions (I’ve only ever had males around her, I’m not sure about females), cats, and larger livestock, as well as poultry and fowl. I am happy to answer any additional questions you may have about her. I really want the best for her but I’m recently widowed and my home of 12 years is finally getting developed and I don’t have the proper lifestyle to accolade the life she deserves anymore.

Chance is scheduled to head to training at the end of the month if we don’t find her a home before the 31st. At which point her price will increase.

As many of you know, our ranch was heavily impacted by the wildfire. As we continue the long process of rebuilding and healing, we’ve had to take a hard look at our herd and make some incredibly difficult choices.

One of those decisions is offering our beautiful mare, Chance, to the right home. This isn’t because there’s anything wrong with her—in fact, she’s one of the nicest broodmares we’ve ever owned. It’s simply a decision we’re making so we can focus our resources on rebuilding while ensuring she has the future she deserves.

🐴 Chance – Grade 50/50 Arabian/Morgan (Morab) Mare
• Approximately 13 years old
• Approximately 15 hands

Chance is one of the prettiest mares we’ve ever owned, and this is not a decision we’re making lightly.

She is an easy keeper, an exceptional mother, and a natural leader in the herd without being aggressive or bossy. She has a sweet personality, gets along well with other horses, and has consistently been a wonderful broodmare.

About Chance:
• Grade 50/50 Arabian/Morgan (Morab) mare
• Approximately 13 years old
• Approximately 15 hands
• Easy keeper
• Healthy and sound with no known health or lameness issues
• Excellent mother who foals unassisted, breeds back easily, and is attentive and safe around her newborns
• Produces beautiful babies with great minds
• Being sold open

Chance has been lightly started under saddle. She’s happy to carry kids around the property or follow another horse around the pasture, but she has not had formal training and should be considered a project for someone who wants to continue her education. She does have a stubborn streak at times and could use someone patient and consistent, especially when it comes to having her feet trimmed.

📍 Located in Inchelium, Washington.

We are willing to help arrange transportation for an additional fee.

If you’ve been looking for a beautiful, healthy broodmare with a wonderful disposition—or a lightly started mare to continue bringing along—we’d love to talk with you.

Please tell us a little about yourself, your experience, and the home you can offer. Finding the perfect match for Chance is our highest priority. We are motivated to place her, but we are not interested in simply selling her to the first person with cash. She’s a mare we love deeply, and we’ll be carefully considering each potential home to make sure she’s matched with the family she deserves.

Young Polled Brown Swiss Family Milk Cow — Northeast Washington looking for a new pasture

Beautiful young Brown Swiss family milk cow, coming 3 years old this fall. She is a first freshener, calved in February.

She is a proven producer, peaking at approximately 5 gallons of milk per day during this lactation. We intentionally reduced her production because we simply didn’t need that much milk, and she is currently producing approximately 1½ -2 gallons OAD milking depending on if she’s calf sharing.

One of her best qualities is how naturally well she calf-shares. With her calf nursing, she requires very little milking and is an exceptionally convenient cow for a family or small homestead that wants fresh milk without having to milk a cow twice a day every day.

Highlights

* Brown Swiss
* Coming 3 years old this fall
* First freshener
* Calved February 2026
* Peaked at approximately 5 gallons/day
* Currently ~1½ gallons/day on once-a-day milking while calf sharing or 2 gallons with more cream while separated
* Excellent udder and teats
* Hand-milked and has never been machine milked
* Calf sharing
* Polled — no horns
* Halter broke
* Easy to handle, although she can be a little stubborn
* Expected to be A2/A2, but has not yet been genetically tested
* Bred back to a Beef Shorthorn bull
* Calf is not included

She has the combination of production, temperament, udder quality, and easy homestead management that makes a great family milk cow. She would be especially well suited to someone looking for a quality Brown Swiss for a homestead, small dairy, or family milk program.

🐾 3-Year-Old Neutered Great Pyrenees Looking for His Homestead

Located in NE Washington
Transportation help available

Meet this handsome 3-year-old Great Pyrenees boy! ❤️

He came to us from a home where he was both a family pet and a chicken guardian, so people are definitely his favorite thing. He is friendly, affectionate, and loves being around his people.

He is currently doing well with chickens from our highline and has shown good behavior around them. He has also recently met goats for the first time and did well with the introduction. However, he is not ready to be turned loose with goats or expected to immediately take on a livestock guardian job. Like any dog, he needs time to learn his new environment and build appropriate livestock relationships.

We actually think his ideal situation may be a little different than the traditional “put him in the pasture and let him guard” setup.

🏡 We think he could be an excellent small-homestead guardian — the kind of dog who lives as part of the family, patrols the property, keeps an eye on everyone, and learns the animals and boundaries of his new home over time.

He is currently overweight, so he is on a diet and working toward a healthier weight. He is neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations.

He does enjoy playing with other dogs, but there is an important piece of information potential adopters need to know: according to his previous owner, when he becomes overstimulated during play, he has occasionally redirected that energy onto another dog. He used to attend dog parks, so this may have been related to the high-energy, overstimulating environment rather than an inability to live with another dog. Still, we want to be completely upfront about it.

Because of that, we think he may do best with a female LGD companion and a home where his interactions with other dogs can be thoughtfully managed rather than relying on chaotic dog-park-style play.

✨ What we’re looking for:
• A small farm or homestead
• Someone who wants a family dog who can also patrol and protect the property
• Experience with LGDs is a plus
• A patient owner willing to let him learn his new animals and environment
• Ideally a compatible female dog companion
• Someone who understands that he is a work in progress and isn’t looking for an instant, finished livestock guardian

This boy has a lot going for him. He loves his people, has already demonstrated that he can coexist with chickens, and has the potential to become a wonderful homestead guardian with the right family and expectations.

We are looking for the right home, not just a home. ❤️

If you think he might be a good fit for your homestead, please message us with information about your property, animals, other dogs, and what you’re looking for in a guardian.

Meet the Babies 🐾

*Located in NE Washington

It feels good to finally start doing some DOG updates again. ❤️

We have three 16-week-old Anatolian/Kangal puppies looking for their new positions as livestock guardian dogs!

These three came from working parents and were born and raised around livestock. They are fully vaccinated, including rabies, and are currently being introduced and exposed to goats, poultry, and sheep as they continue developing their skills and confidence.

We have two males and one female, and they are officially in the alligator phase of puppyhood—where apparently EVERYTHING must go in their mouths. 😂🤪

They are sweet, curious, busy little monsters who are learning about the world and beginning to show us more and more of their individual personalities.

As always, we do not place our dogs simply on a first-come, first-served basis. We evaluate each puppy’s individual personality, temperament, confidence, instincts, and needs and match them with the home and livestock situation where we believe they have the best chance of succeeding.

These puppies are now ready to start accepting applications for their new positions!

A quick note as we get back into sharing updates:

The fire has affected every part of life here, including our animals. Some of our livestock and dogs may not look exactly as they did before the fire, and some are still recovering from the stress, disrupted grazing, changes in routine, and everything that came with the fire.

We are doing everything we can to care for them while we rebuild.

We welcome genuine questions and constructive conversation. What we won’t engage with are comments that shame, attack, or make assumptions about our animals or our care based on a photograph.

We have been through enough. ❤️

So for now, let’s celebrate something GOOD.

Three fuzzy little alligators are ready to find their forever jobs. 🐾

Two boys + one girl | 16 weeks | Anatolian/Kangal | Working parents | Livestock raised

If you’re interested in applying for one of these pups, send us a message and tell us about your livestock, property, and what you’re looking for in an LGD.

Transportation help is available.

We have a long journey ahead, but we’re back to helping dogs. ❤️🐾

There is still so much work to do here at Rizn Ranch. Our infrastructure needs to be rebuilt, our property needs to be put back together, and there’s a long road ahead of us.

But there were dogs already waiting for their second chance before the fire ever happened—and their families have been incredibly patient while we navigated everything that came after.

So, little by little, we’re getting back to what we do. ❤️

These are some of the rescues currently in our program. They’re settling in, getting the care and evaluation they need, and over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be working toward getting them ready for placement into their forever homes.

We may be rebuilding, but we’re still rescuing. And honestly, it feels really good to be back. 🐾❤️

Thank you for continuing to walk this road with us. There’s a long journey ahead, but we’re moving forward—one dog at a time.

Our First Cleanup Day ❤️

Yesterday was our first official cleanup day, and what a blessing it was. ❤️

Several families from our local SDA church came out to help us begin the long process of cleaning up what the fire left behind. What could have been a hard and overwhelming day turned into a beautiful day of fellowship, hard work, laughter, and community.

It was so special watching everyone work together—and even more special seeing the children playing together while their families served side by side. There is something pretty amazing about watching a community come together and say, “We’re going to help you rebuild.”

Our main focus yesterday was cleaning up the burned barns, gathering and hauling the remaining tin into town, and making burn piles out of the wood that was left behind.

There is still a LOT of work to do, but yesterday was a huge step forward. The next big project will be a dump run to get the remaining RV debris and fence posts cleaned up and hauled away.

We are eternally grateful for the wonderful fellowship, encouragement, and hands-on help from our brothers and sisters in Christ. ❤️

Thank you for showing up. Thank you for working alongside us. Thank you for helping us begin to rebuild.

The video starts with a quick look at what everything looked like the day after the fire—and then you can see some of the progress that was made yesterday.

Little by little, pile by pile, we’re rebuilding.
Rizn will rise. ❤️‍🩹
