Moto NCAR #552

Moto is a 6 month old partially hearing impaired, and seriously vision impaired cutie. Hes a love, stays close and plays non stop with his favorites at the Sanctuary. He loves to be held and has a very nice temperament and is extremely socialized with people and dogs. He maneuvers very well around the Sanctuary, you'd not know he doesn't see well.

He's small....maybe 30 pounds now. He can hear me calling him, but needs some time to figure out my direction. He's housebroken, loves to snuggle and is just adorable. He sleeps with us in our bed, or in a dog bed in the living room or next to our bed...he's easy! Fostered in Grass Valley.

Jackson NCAR# 527

Jackson is now Mariettas constant companion in Walnut Creek. He lives just down the street from Jamie, who was adopted from us 5 years ago. They pal around and get to go hiking in open space together. Jackson is very happy indeed!

Jackson was surrendered to the Yolo County shelter because his owner was having health problems. Jackson is a 7 year old, neutered, gorgeous black tri boy. According to his owner, Jackson was kept mostly inside, is house trained, and knows Sit, Shake (both hands!) wait and Get it. He went on car rides and is a well-socialized boy. He's been fine with grandchildren from ages 3 and up. His owner also stated that he is gun shy (witnessed that at the Sanctuary when a gun went off in the distance) and is afraid of bicycles and motorcycles. He'll chase them while barking if not on leash.

Jackson is very loving and is a typical Velcro boy...easy going and sweet. He loved being brushed today and is just a terrific example of an Aussie. Apparently, his groomer had cats roaming around and he didn't go bizerk.....but we haven't tested him. Fostered in Davis.

Misha, NCAR #529
Eliese and her Mom Reese in Fairfield love Meeshas spunk and loving nature. Eliese works for a vet and is already signed up for obedience classes and will give Meesha the consistent guidance and love she needs.

Misha lived her first 2 years outside 24/7 and played with children and another dog. Shes adjusting well to being inside and outside. She lived the last several months with a family who rescued her and found her delightful, but too aggressive with their cat, too barky with other dogs when shes on a leash walk, and too barky at their horse.

She would do best living in an environment where she can be with her people a lot, and go on car rides and get training. She's smart and very puppyish and LOVES to chew. She loves all people and children and is about 35 pounds. Very cute and very Velcro. Fostered in Grass Valley.

Barley NCAR #541


Barley and Alan
Alan really liked Barleys fun, enthusiastic nature, and takes him on hikes, to the beach and swimming at a friends pool! This is a really wonderful matching and Im thrilled for them! Alan and Barley live in Campbell.

Barley is an 8 year old, 60 pound, gorgeous blue merle. Hes been living with his Dad for 4 years on the beach in Monterey . Dad is newly married and now Barley is living with his expanded family, including a 2 year old child. Barley never really got on board with a toddler in the bed instead of him....so, he came to us to find a new home.

He is OK with other dogs at the Sanctuary, and plays with several, including males and females. He loves playing ball, will bring it to you nicely....endlessly and he loves running off leash and swimming. An adult home with grown children who will throw the ball for hours would be a great home for him. No cats. Fostered with another playful male Aussie in San Jose.

Lady is Bandit's sister. She was adopted with him at 4 months of age, and now, at a year old, she and her brother were returned to the shelter because "they were too much" for the owner to deal with.

Bailey NCAR #334 Puppy Mill Aussie


Bailey and brothers
Bailey at age 13 with his brothers Andy the BC who is 5 (left), and Barney the Aussie who is 11. Steve has been fostering Bailey for 2 years and we couldnt be happier for Bailey that hes staying put! To see more photos, go to www.stevesdogpark.com

Bailey is a sweet and loving black tri. He's now 11 years old and losing his vision. He has a gorgeous coat and is still about the most handsome black tri I've seen. This boy fathered countless litters of puppies and never had a person love him till we rescued him. He spent 9 years glaring at other intact breeding males (like Sydney, adopted March, '07) through the kennel fence...suffice to say, he didn't have a good life.

Bailey is very easy-going, loves to hang out or go on walks and crates easily. He's come a long way since I got him in August, '06. He and Sydney wouldn't come into my house for 3 days after I brought them home. Now, he will slowly come up to strangers seeking pets. He desperately wants to be loved and is so very sweet. Bailey went through our obedience program and warmed up to his handler and got used to performing on a leash! He's very appreciative for pets and love. He loves Steve, his foster Dad who takes him on daily leash walks and to a nearby park... Fostered in Sacramento. Contact: Kim at kim@norcalaussierescue.com

***ADOPTED BY HIS FOSTER DAD***
Midas NCAR #501
Midas lives in Sacramento where hell start obedience classes in June, as well as go on hikes and trips to the beach!

Midas was found in Woodland and all efforts were made to reconnect him with his owner..to no avail. Hes about 18 months old, skinny at 48 pounds, very sweet, fun and a bit shy. Hed not seen stairs before, and is afraid of cats and sudden noises. He is goofy, walks decnelty on a leash, but kinda stops in front of you!

He is more of a follower than a leader. He prefers to follow other dogs around than to take the lead, and would probably like the company of another playful dog. He goes to Doggy day care and socializes very nicely. Backs away from the bossy dogs without any problems. Midas Sleeps well crated and is learning to get in/out of the car, and be an inside dog. Hes a big cuddler, loves nothing more to be smothered with kisses and hugs. He also likes being brushed, but doesnt care for water. Hes not a barker..door bell rings, my other dogs bark, he does nothing but stand there like a goofball! How anyone abandoned this boy is a mystery to all of us. Fostered in Folsom.

Lindsay NCAR # 507
This little deaf Aussie came into the Lindsay shelter as a stray. She would do really well with someone who is always around. She is one of those constant companions who would do well going everywhere with her person or people. She's got some separation anxiety, would need to be crated when left alone, or in a safe, contained outside area. If she sees you, she does fine...if she can't see you, she gets into things.

She is very sweet and affectionate and likes to jump up on you. She loves to put her paws on you and is quite the clown when she is feeling excited. She is probably about a year old.

Fostered in Arizona. Contact Kim at kim@norcalaussierescue.com

***ADOPTED***
Stevie
Stevie is a gorgeous red merle girl who was adopted about 2 years ago from the Central CA SPCA in Fresno. She's about 50 pounds, we think she's about 4 years old now, and has gorgeous eyes. This girl loves, loves, loves getting attention from people. Stevie has epilepsy and has it under control with 60 mg of Phenobarbital twice a day. Her favorite thing is to be with her person, inside or outside. She's lived with 2 cats and 2 dogs. She's not playful with toys or fetching things, she'd rather just be by your side! Her current owner keeps her outside most of the time, which frustrates Stevie to no end. Stevie is in Fresno.

Bogey


Bogey and Laura
Bogey is 8 - 10 years old and turned into the Humboldt County shelter when he lunged at his owner's boyfriend during a heated argument with lots of yelling. His owner (girlfriend) doesn't want Bogey back. Shelter staff have tried to provoke Bogey repeatedly, but he's sweet, gentle and very biddable. We feel he was being loyal to his owner and we don't think it's a bad thing! He's neutered, up to date on shots and needs a caring home.

5/8 THANK YOU LAURA FOR ADOPTING BOGEY! Thank you Chris for driving him to Woodland, Thank you Alan for keeping him over night and driving him to Monterey on 5/9 where he'll drive to San Luis Obipso to live with Laura! YAHOO!
