Fuji
Fuji had been seen on a small ranch in Sacramento, hed hobble around and get close, but wouldnt let
anyone near him. Finally, after 3 weeks, Ashley was able to catch him. Fuji was in terrible pain with a
metal rod protruding from his leg. Ashley took him to our vet who took X-Rays, removed the metal rod and
closed the wound.
Fuji is happy living with his 3 doggie siblings, he respects other dogs and will give them space but he really enjoys playing with
other dogs if they will play back. While he is very dog friendly what Fuji really wants is to cuddle up with ANYONE that will cuddle
him back. He is comfortable around children that know how to respect dogs, but is easily “squeaked” so would do better with
a family with older children. His injury has fully healed and he has regained use of his leg. Don’t let his past injury fool you,
this little guy loves to run and jump just like any terrier would. Fuji knows basic commands and is trained to use a dog door to go
outside.

out of her back yard, which means she didn't go anywhere, meet anyone, play
with other dogs or ride in a car. This girl needs an experienced, patient
person to help her build her confidence and learn that life is not so scary.
She's well built and just gorgeous. Fostered in Grass Valley.

Bella NCAR Puppy #33
Bella goes home
Bella is an 10 week old red merle North American Shepherd bought from someone in Marysville who sold her at only 6 weeks of age. She sold Bellas brother to the same family and it was a disaster the instant the two pups got home. They were too young to be away from their mother who could teach them how to behave. Bella DOMINATED her brother, so we were asked for help.
Bella is smart, funny, confident and vocal. She is not for the first time dog owner and is ready to gobble up life! Fostered in Grass Valley.

Rocky NCAR #746
Rocky went home to Paradise with Mae and Gene. They liked how glued he is to his people, and the fact that he likes car rides, leash walks and just hanging out.
Rocky is a 6 year old, North American Miniature Aussie Shepherd. Since he was a pup, hes been a companion for a woman who can no longer care for him. He really wants to be with his person all the time and will bark if left alone unless he gets exercise and mental stimulation on a daily basis.
Rocky likes to play “sit and find” with tiny treats. Hide them in little containers or behind doors or under rugs and he will focus to retrieve them for a long time. Rocky is good off leash, but on leashhe barks at other dogs - but as soon as you let him off leash or he gets to smell them, he is fun and loving. Rocky loves to run, but does not like to swim. Loves to chase squirrels. He obeys: Heel, with the command “with me”, sit, down, “wait”,stay for when he gets ahead of you off leash. He will “come” if he is not frightened and if he has had his morning or afternoon run.
Loves his ears getting cleaned and arm pits scratched. He plays very nicely with one dog at a time – can be any dog.
He does fine at the Sanctuary living among a pack of dogs, usually would rather get on with doing something. He will gently herd a gaggle of geese.
He loves to cuddle! He has lived with cats and is fine with other dogs. I think a home without children where he gets to be someone's constant companion would be best for Rocky. Fostered in Grass Valley.

Etta
Etta is very small Aussie who turned 1 year old on July
4, 2011. She's a pretty, powder Blue Merle and weighs only 27 lbs.
She was purchased from a breeder at 10 weeks of age.
Etta has graduated from Puppy Obedience 1 and 2, and Obedience for Dog
Sports. Etta is wicked smart and knows: Sit, down, stand, stay, wait,
follow, side, leave it, off, go to mat and stay, touch, crawl, spin,
identifies some of her toys. Still working on reliable come.
She's crate trained and is allowed on one of 2 couches and knows the
difference.
She is extremely good with other dogs. Loves to play with almost any other
dogs, big or small. Does lots of appeasement signals to show she is
friendly. Lets other dogs take her toys, eat out of her dish, get on her
bed, approach me and even take chew toys out of her mouth. Etta sleeps with and grooms the 2 cats in her home, sometimes she'll chase
in play.
Etta has become
extremely reactive to bikes, cars, runners and running children. She jumped
out of the car and chased a boy who was running by and nipped him in the
rear. She didn't break the skin, but did bruise the boy.
Etta becomes very anxious when her owner leaves for work.
Her anxiety has gotten to the point that her vet prescribed anti-anxiety
medication.
In general she loves people and attention. Rolls over and asks for tummy
rubs. She loves playing with her best dog buddies, whether it's running in
a big open space or just wrestling in my small office. She loves going to
the beach, playing with a doggie friend there or chasing balls. Loves
meeting new dogs. She'd likely love doing agility or some other dog sport
or herding. Etta lives in Palo Alto on a very busy, high traffic corner
home. Because of her reactivity to cars, bikes, runners, it has become
almost impossible for her to go out for a neighborhood walk. She goes into
the car in order to find places that are "safe" so that she can get the kind
of exercise she needs without anxiety and stress. Her owner is incredibly
devoted to Etta, but unable to move from her house and hopes that she can
find a new home without all the traffic and commotion. She has asked that we
find Etta a life with someone in a rural area where she would not have to
come in contact so often with those things that trigger her anxiety. This is
a high drive girl who would do well in any kind of agility/herding training
with experienced handler. Etta is in Palo Alto. Application required.
