Razzle is a 12 year old red merle who was adopted from NCAR almost 11 years ago. He was chosen because of his drive and age. For 9 years he performed with a dog performance group. Video below is the day he was adopted! Razzles owner retired and is no longer able to care for Razzle so we have him up for adoption. Razzle is crate trained, still like to fetch balls. (although we roll them now to prevent jumping)

Razzle is not comfortable or playful with other dogshe prefers humans and alone time. He's healthy, although his vision and hearing are not 100%. Were looking for a home where he can be an only dog with a yard for exploring. Fostered in Grass Valley.

Loki is a 5 year old, 60 pound, neutered red tri boy. He was purchased as a puppy and was the center of attention for his first 2 years. Then his people had two children (3 and 6 months old now) and husband got a hospital job that takes him away from the house 6-7 days per week. Loki is A LOT of Aussie and loves to run and get into stuff.
Loki is crate trained, does exceptionally well with the two toddlers, but is too much for Mom who understandably has her hands full. He ran all over the Sanctuary and engaged in play with my Aussies with a lot of excitement barking! He has good recall, pulls on a leash with flat collar, is housebroken and crate trained. Loki is in Yuba City. Application required.

Mookie was found on a doorstep in Manteca in March. For weeks, neighbors tried to find her owner and refused to bring her to a shelter. On April 5, Mookie delivered 7 puppies! We were asked to help, and no other rescue group would take the little family, so Mookie and her 6 girls and 1 boy came to us.

   
Mookie IS NOT an Aussie! Here's her DNA:  19% American Staffordshire Terrier,    16% German Shepherd,    15% American Pit Bull Terrier,  11% Rottweiler,  9% Australian Cattle Dog.

She's mostly Guard dog with herding dog. Mookie is very reactive to dogs and strangers....she will do best living in a non urban environment in a quiet home. Mookie LOVES to fetch and play with toys. She walks on a leash but does alarm bark. We believe Mookie is 2  years old.           

We have 2 remaining puppies - Yuki and Suki who are now 5 months old and have all their shots, including Rabies and are microchipped.  See below.     

Yuki is Mookie's pup - she's a short-haired small girl who weighs about 36 pounds now. Yuki is very curious, athletic . Here's her DNA results:
• 32% German Shepherd Dog • 10% American Staffordshire Terrier • 8% American Pit Bull Terrier • 8% Siberian Husky • 7% Rottweiler
Yuki is reactive like her Mom and needs an experienced person to guide her into adulthood.   Yuki has all her puppy vaccines, Rabies and microchip and is ready for her new home where she needs continued training. Fostered in Grass Valley. Application required.

Hi it’s me Suki! I really can’t believe she hasn’t been scooped up!? She really is the perfect companion! Suki is Mookie's pup - she's 5 months old and just sweet and lovable!       

Suki is a German Shepherd mix looking for her forever home! Suki enjoys playing so she’d love a calm, easy-going playmate of similar size to share her days with. She also loves just hanging out in the yard playing with her favorite toys. Suki is very affectionate and would love to be someone’s constant companion. She has a lovely demeanor and enjoys being at someone’s side throughout the day. She walks like a pro on leash, is potty trained and uses the doggie door like a champ. She sleeps soundly in her crate all night. Since she is young, sticking to a routine will help her keep up with the great habits she’s learned! If you’re looking for a loyal companion who thrives in a peaceful environment, Suki might be the perfect fit!  

Buster is a 2 year old blue merle whose owner is in the hospital with a serious illness. Buster is about 55 pounds, housebroken, crate trained and likes to play with other playful dogs.

Buster is undersocialized. He had a rough puppyhood and needs gentle and consistant exposure to the world so he can overcome his fears. He is a sweet, although scared boy who  is still learning the joys of the world. Buster is a bit headstrong and wants what he wants....you know the pushy Aussie type!   Buster is in Grass Valley. .

Jasper is an 8-9 year old Aussie/BC mix who we adopted to a ranching family in 2017. The family is selling their ranch and moving with their toddler to WA to be near grandparents.

Jasper is not great with their 3 year old and will not do well in a condo with patio. Jasper does best with women, can be aloof with men and nippy with small kids.    

Hes crate trained, LOVES the car and  can be outside night and day, does well with livestock, and with a little training, could be helpful with herding. Jasper is a good boy, just had a tough past before he came to us. He's 50 pounds, easy to manage if you follow his sensitivities. A ranch environment would be perfect for Jasper. Fostered in Grass Valley.

Rumor is a 34 pound, 5 year old blue merle who had to be trapped in September, 2021 during the Caldor Fire in El Dorado County. She would not come to anyone and was living off the land for at least 2 weeks before being trapped. She is quite skittish and very smart - an accomplished escape artist! On 9/20/21, she gave birth to three puppies at the Sanctuary. Her puppies have found great homes, and now it's Rumor's turn.

She wants to roam so fencing in her home must be bullet-proof. She's very playful with all dogs, terribly afraid of new people and needs to be introduced on leash. Rumor has been on Prozac for 5 months and it lessens her anxiety. We're looking for a home where she can play with dogs, not get out of her yard, and with a person who will take her on leash walks and introduce her to a non-threatening world. Fostered in Grass Valley.
