Blue NCAR #717
Blue and his family.
Blue is a 1 year old blue merle whose owners couldn't care for him any longer. He likes to play fetch, has become a constant companion to his foster parents on the couch, and is an all around nice boy. He will counter surf, so leaving food on the counter is risky! He's very cunning, and won't do it in front of his foster parents. He lives with Callie, a female Aussie and is enjoying life in his foster home in Modesto.

Melina NCAR #XXX
Rescued from an illegal puppy mill in Washington state. We flew Pendleton, Melina, Wally and 2 others from Spokane to Sacramento May, 09. Animal Friends in Salinas took two, and Gail & Brian have been rehabilitating Melina and Wally in Walnut Creek, and we have had Pendleton at the Sanctuary.These dogs are ultra timid and need a quiet, adult only home where they will have a routine and plenty of one on one time with their people.
Melina is sweet and gentle. Shes great with other dogs, and is fine with people, as long as they don't try and pet or hug her - she will shy away from that.
She does best with another solid, playful and confident dog.
Her favorite time of the day is when she knows she's going for a walk. She zooms around the house, and is so excited and happy. She walks great on a leash!
She will hide away in a back room, so she needs to be encouraged to come join the family. She doesn't like to be left outside. She'll run out when needed, but needs to be able to get back into the house.
Still has a lot of fear issues, but she's doing great in obedience class for "special" dogs. Needs a guardian who won't expect a lot, and will be happy with small victories.

Dora NCAR #714
Dora was out of time at the Yuba County shelter and I got talked into rescuing her. She is microchipped and her owner was tracked down. Owner told shelter staff that Dora is a 2 year old mini Aussie/Rat terrier mix she got from a neighbor who owned her mother and father. She said she mostly lived in the garage and the back yard, and lived with children and cats. She also said she'd be right down to pick her up...then never did. Dora's about 20 pounds, a bit timid, but loving and sweet. NO CATS!
Fostered in Grass Valley.

Sheila
Sheila was one year old on May 25, 2010 and is about 45 pounds. Her mom is
an Aussie, and her Dad is an Australian Cattle Dog.
She's working on her obedience training, is housebroken, crate trained,
loves the water and fetches tennis balls and Frisbees. She's eager to play
with other dogs and has been accepting of all the people she's met, young
and old. She's smart and energetic and would be a great candidate for
herding, agility, flyball, dock jumping and athletic activities. She'd do
best with a job in an active household with someone who will make her a
constant companion plus give her the mental stimulation she craves. She also
loves to snuggle and is happy in your lap! Fostered in Auburn.

Bean, NCAR #665
Bean waited a long time before the PERFECT people adopted him! Hes going to live with his new sister Fletcher and get a ton of love, training, socialization, and did I mention LOVE?
This is a 12-16 month old, small or mini red tri. Hes shy of strangers and very submissivenot a great dog for children, or busy household with lots of people coming and going. He will never be a happy go lucky dog with all people - he's ultra shy around them. But hes very loving and sweet people in his home and will do well if he gets to do a lot with them.
I call him Bean because he can almost touch his nose to his butt and looks like a coffee bean! Hes only 30 pounds and should fill out to 30-32 pounds.
He's going on leash walks in his foster home and doing much better.He stayed with me over the weekend and he's so much more confident! He is happy to be with me, loving and slept in my bedroom with my other dogs. Thank you Dave and Carol for taking him through obedience classes and helping him so much. Fostered in Walnut Creek.

Gemma
Gemma and her family
Gemma is a wonderful, 3 year old black bi girl who is smart and eager to learn. She walks on a leash nicely, has learned some commands,
(sit, down, leave it, take it.) She gets along with other dogs, and is fine with children and cats too. What more could you ask?
She does want lots of attention and when left alone will howl a bit and eat paper if not crated. But shes still young and has come a long way
since we rescued her from the Yolo County shelter. She tends to engage in attention-seeking behaviors like jumping up softly for pets.
Gemma weighs only 36 lbs and is low to medium in energy. Shell chase balls and bring them back but is not fixated on it. She does love to
play tug. Shes a bit timid with strangers and must have been mistreated, judging by some occasional cringing reactions, but will bond to
someone who treats her kindly and brushes her a lot. Shes very good natured. A home with a dog door would be ideal for her. Fostered in Palo
Alto.

Ajax
Ajax is a 3 year old blue merle Aussie rescued two years ago from a shelter.
He's 45-50 lbs, neutered, and has his long tail. His rescuer is over the
legal limit and must thin her herd, so she's forced to give up a dog, so
she's giving up her youngest and most adoptable dog...Ajax.
He's vision and hearing impaired, housebroken, crate trained and loves to
play tug of war. He is great with other dogs and has been to dog parks
without incident. He lives with little and big dogs, but no cats. He's very
people friendly and excellent with children...although may be too active for
toddlers.
He's crated when left alone in the house, and is great in the car- he lies
down in the back seat and doesn't try to help drive!
He does okay in a back yard if he has dog buddies with him. If left alone,
he'll jump a fence to look for people or playmates. He must have a 6-7 foot
fence. He walks well on a leash, but sometimes likes to grab hold of the
leash and play tug of war...this can be corrected by giving him a toy to
hold in his mouth instead.
He is a beautiful boy, has a great personality, and is totally
non-aggressive.
He doesn't always come when called so his new person would need to work with
him on that. Ajax is in Visalia.

Hannah
Hannah wandered into a parking lot in Stockton about 3 years ago...another abandoned puppy. She was saved
by a kind woman who now must sell her ranch and move to a small home and cant take all her animals with her.
Hanna needs help.
Hanna is a pretty, 40 pound Aussie mix. Her coat is a deep blue merle. She can jump a 4 foot fence, is OK
with children old enough to stop her from herding them, plays with other dogs, lives with a cat.
Hanna is very afraid of GUN SHOTS and will go over fence and hide. She will chase cars if allowed to. She likes to
be with you and is happy in the house with her person.
Shes lived with dogs, cats chickens, goats, horses and sheep. She might be a good candidate for herding or
agility! Hannah is in Stockton.
