Mango is a 3 year old, 54 pound red tri boy who grew up with his litter mate, Brownie. Owners gave him up due to allergies and he spent the past year living in the yard and garage. He's very sweet and enjoys cuddling. He is learning to be separated from his brother where he can develop human relationships more easily.

Tango has learned the doggie door, is housebroken and walks well on a leash. Fostered in Rancho Cordova.

Brownie is a 3 year old, 42 pound red tri boy who grew up with his littermate, Mango. He's a bit more active than his brother, and shows signs of fence fighting.probably due to the fact that he lived in the yard and garage for the past year.

Loki is a 45 pound, 4 year old black tri whose owner has a debilitating condition and cannot give him the exercise he needs. Loki is used to living in an apartment and going to dog parks. He gets pretty excited when he sees other dogs on leash but hes calming down now that hes outside with other Aussies regularly! Loki is a lot of fun, likes to play fetch, is housebroken and just a doll.

Piper is a 25 pound Miniature American Shepherd who was hit by a car in Sacramento. She was taken to emergency where her owner signed her over to the county because of the high vet bill. Piper lost one eye and her facial hair is growing in quickly. Luckly, her X Rays showed no serious injuries. Piper is learning to navigate with one eye, is crate trained and not interested in playing with other dogs. She's an adorable cuddle bug waiting for her one and only!

Duke is about 3 or 4 years old and was passed around from home to home due to no fault of his own. He can look quite serious, but shows me his goofy side a lot! We were told he was a breeding dog for his first 2 years, then his people moved and gave him to a neighbor, then he was given away again to a neighbor who got him neutered. His 4th owner had him only a few days when he escaped the front door and ended up running along Highway 50.

His 4th owner put up flyers and when he was returned to her, she signed him over to Animal Control. This poor guy was really confused. After coming here, I've noticed he is fun, sweet and a good watch dog. He has a goofy grin that I just adore! Duke is about 50 pounds, neutered and utd on shots.

Cookie's people brought her to the Santa Clara shelter because they said they were moving. She was pretty dirty, not spayed and has a mouth full of broken and missing teeth. They said she is 4 years old. Cookie is Velcro, a bit anxious and sweet. At only 30 pounds, she's a small Aussie girl. She'd do best as an only dog or with a very laid back dog who stays out of her face.

Katie was picked up twice by Animal Control trotting along Highway 50 near Placerville. The owner said she had just received her from a man at a gas station 3 hours prior. Owner was homeless and a bit disoriented, and gave Katie up to Animal Control. We were called immediately as Katie was extremely scared at the shelter.

We bathed her and found her to be a delightful, enthusiastic girl who wants to be a house dog. She also shows signs of separation anxiety and broke out of a crate in my SUV on the way home from the shelter - she wanted to lie in the back seat! She has mellowed since being here.

Katie's DNA results came back:
52% Aussie, 13.4 Supermutt, 12.8 Border Collie, 7.5 Shetland Sheepdog, 6.6% Chow Chow, 4.3% Collie, 3.4 German Shepherd.

She's mellow, smart, about 47 pounds, housebroken, walks well on a leash, and healthy. Our vet estimates she's 3-6 years old. Fostered in Grass Valley.

Tessa was dumped near a dog park in Sacramento. The folks tried to follow the car to get a license plate, but couldn't. Tessa came to the people who took her home. She had recently had puppies. We took her in and learned quickly that she's quite adept at climbing 6 foot chain link fences and opening levered doors. This girl is as Velcro as it gets!

Tessa is about 2 years old, 35 pounds and friendly as can be. She stayed with a family with toddlers and did great with them! This girl is desperate for love and will snuggle on the sofa if you let her. She jumps up relentlessly for attention so beware! NO CATS.

Chance is a sweet, young Border Collie we rescued from the Tulare County shelter. He had a double break in his left femur which we had repaired by a wonderful orthopedic surgeon at Loomis Basin VCA in Loomis. He is all healed and runs and jumps like he should! See his X Rays here

He's sweet, comes when called, knows sit and seems housebroken. Chance is about 2 years old, 45 pounds, quite affectionate and likes other dogs. He's learning to sit, come and stay. He will counter surf if given the opportunity! He crates easily, is food motivated and travels in the car beautifully.

Chance learns quickly and there is no resource guarding or separation anxiety. He has good recall, is food motivated and likes to cuddle!

Chance is fearful of strangers reaching down to pet him. He also has nipped strangers, so he must be introduced slowly and on a leash. He is improving in his foster home, but for sure he should live in a quiet, adult only home. He likes his foster brother, Finley who is a NCAR Aussie and enjoys relaxing or playing tug with him! Fostered in Half Moon Bay.

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 too. Mookie is 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.           

Mookie is doing well in training . She's loving, crate trained and learning all kinds of behaviors to help her calm down. She is READY FOR A HOME OF HER OWN!

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.
