Foster
Foster is a 10 year old, 60 pound red merle whose family has fallen on hard times and asked us to find a great home for him. He’s great with the small children and has been mostly an inside dog, but true to the breed, wants to be wherever his people are. He knows some commands, is sweet, and will howl if left alone in a yard. He barks at strangers and other dogs on a leash, but isn’t aggressive. He chases horses and goats, so he’s got some spunk and drive! Foster needs a new home by August 1. Foster is in Napa.

Rain
Rain is a beautiful 6 year old black tri boy who has proven to be
uncomfortable around the 6 year old in his home, as well as any loud noises
and commotion. With another baby due, Rain's people think it's best to
rehome him.
Rain has had intermediate obedience training and beginning agility. He's
good in public and likes visitors to his home. He is suspicious of children
and is pretty sure that they shouldn't be having any fun. Another control
freak! He occasionally nips kids when they race around the house, dance, or
squeal. Children over the age of 12 seem to fine.
He's fine alone in the house and lies around on the couch. He barks at the
UPS driver and anyone who knocks on the door/rings the doorbell.
He's fine alone in the car and stares out the window and wonders where
you've gone. Eventually he curls up and goes to sleep. Rain is great on a
leash and knows how to heel.
He will run away if he sees a gun. He's never coming back if he hears one.
Rain has lived with: Cats, dogs, sheep, llamas, and horses.
His favorite activies are running, chasing toys, having his tummy rubbed, a
good scratch, squeaky toys (he loves to unstuff and dismember them), his
hedgehog toy, going on walks, hiking, swimming, and being goofy.
He's hopelessly devoted and loving. He waits for his family to come home
just so he can love them to bits. He goes anywhere and does just about
anything. Rain is in Marysville and needs a foster or permanent home very
soon. Application required.

Inca
Inca just loves people, and loves attention, and wants to be your dog! She's very sweet. She came to Best Friends In Kanab, Utah from animal control, where she had been surrendered because her owner died. No one in the family could handle her because she aggressively guards her person from other people.
She is very protective of the person she bonds to, so obviously, she would need a very special home. Unfortunately, she doesn’t like sharing her space with other dogs either. Inca is with Whitney Jones.

Maggie
Maggie is a darling 5 year old, small black tri at 30 pounds. She's had
obedience and beginning agility and knows many tricks! She knows
Sit, stay, roll over, leave it, off, down, go to place, hide and seek toy or
treat, retrieve ball and place in my hand, jump, lie down and stay,
beginning weave poles and balance board.
She is comfortable sleeping in crate, plays with most dogs and wants to say
"Hi" to almost every human!
She prefers older children and loves having them chase her. She has been
taught not to chase children or people when they run.
She's a great traveler and can be left alone in the car
She loves being with her owner and lying on the couch, going for walks,
chasing and bringing back the ball. She loves squeaky toys, playing tug of
war, swimming in the lake. She also plays with her best buddy, Toby the cat.
Maggie's owner has serious health issues which prevents her from giving her
the attention and exercise she deserves. So we are helping Maggie find
another devoted person (she prefers females) to become her constant
companion. Maggie is Velcro to the max and quite devoted. Maggie is near
Sacramento. Application required.

Rex
Rex is a neutered male, blue merle who turned 3 on 11/2/2006
He’s about 50 pounds, and was purchased as a puppy from Coffee Pot Ranch in Sheridan, CA. He’s had no formal obedience training, but was taught many tricks and commands like: Sit, Stay, Lay, Leave it (put the treat on his nose at he'll let it sit there until you give the release command.) "OK" is the release command. Say "easy" and he will take the food very gently.
He sleeps in his kennel in his own room inside. He’s a bit cautious around other dogs because he was jumped as a puppy. He loves all people and wants to say Hi to all strangers. He’s stubborn and will flip his head around and look like he’s going to bite his owner when she grabs his collar to pull him outside, inside or otherwise force him to do things. This is probably due to lack of training, but he is not an Aussie for children.
When strangers come to his home, he gets very excited and barks. He wants everyone to play with him and give him attention. He’s barky in the car alone, but he’s not been crated in the car.
Rex gets protective over his food if another dog is there. The dog tried to get the bone. Rex took it away. He also has growled when his owner tried to take a bone (he was invested in) away. His owner lives in a duplex and landlord has received complaints about his barking outside when she’s at work. Animal Control has been contacted and she has no other choice but to give up Rex and feels it would be best he went to a home where he’d get the exercise, attention and training he deserves.
Rex is in Sacramento. If interested in fostering or adopting, please submit an application.

Blue and Rocky
Blue |
Blue and Rocky are both 7 years old. Blue is a 65 pound blue merle and Rocky
is a 45 pound Red Merle. Both are neutered, housebroken, utd on shots, They
have lived both inside and outside. Their owners both died and they are now
living with a relative and live strictly outdoors. Both are very friendly
with dogs coming into their territory and off their turf.
Both are very friendly towards people, Blue is exuberant with his affection,
and Rocky is a little more reserved.
Both get on fine with kids, and they have spent lots of time with a 7 year
old boy. Again, Blue more outgoing than Rocky Both love to ride in the car,
they are good travelers.These dogs are mostly together, but in the past have
been separated overnight and have been fine.
react_Leash: Lately the dogs have not been worked with and are very excited
and it takes a little exercise to get them to pay attenion. After a few
minutes they are fine and don't pull at the leash and are fairly respectful
of their handler.
They are in a 4' chainlink enclosure now and have not attempted to jump or
dig out.They are not barkers or chewers.
Neither Blue or Rocky is aggressive towards people or other dogs, however
Rocky has been known to try and snap at you while grooming his hind end.
These dogs like to chase rabbits, squirrels, deer and cats. Rocky, if you
keep on him, will refrain from the cat chasing, but Blue can't help himself.
He has never hurt a cat, but that may just be luck on the cats part! They
have lived with and don't chase other dogs, horses and cows and calves.
Theses dogs do not have to be placed together, in fact they may be better
off separately and may pay attention to a new owner better. Blue and Rocky
are in Livermore. Application required.

Spot
Spot is a 6 year old, temperamental blue merle Mini Aussie. He's 30 pounds and just
gorgeous. He's from Turtle Mountain Ranch and has been raised by his owner
since he was a puppy. Now that he has 2 Aussie sisters, he's not as happy as
he was when he was an only dog...and his owner thinks he'd be happier and do
better if he had someone to dote on him more!
Spot is intolerant of being hugged, squeezed, or picked up. He likes his personal space, but loves being petted on his terms. Spot loves his toys (especially balls) and could easily learn herding…he has a lot of drive and is in great shape. He'll do best with a strong leader without children who is familiar with Aussies and who will be with him most of the time...he's very devoted to his person and is very sensitive to his/her needs and moods. Spot has nipped at people "in his face", so absolutely no children. Spot is in Marysville.
Application required. Contact Kayce at kawolcott@ymail.com

Sadie
Sadie is about a 2 yr old Aussie mix. She's red merle in coloring, but her
body is very lean, as if perhaps she's mixed with Setter or Border Collie.
She came from the Merced County shelter and her adopters didn't have enough
time for her and a kind neighbor took her in rather than see her returned to
the shelter.
She's current on vaccines and sleeps in a crate in the house at night. She
comes when called, sits, is learning to walk on leash and loves other dogs!
She's a bit skittish with strangers, but very submissive and sweet with
children - she rolls on her back for tummy rubs. She can be destructive when
not exercised, and will chew things if left unattended for long periods of
time. She chases squirrel and birds, and chased the cats until trained not
to, but she never caught or injured anything. She's currently living with a
dog and 4 cats. Loves trips to the dog park and squeaky toys, but they don't
last long! Fostered in Elk Grove near Sacramento.
