EMMA
#226
Emma is a 5-7 year old Aussie/Cattle dog mix who we pulled
from the "bursting at the seams" Sacramento County Shelter.She
weighs 48 pounds. She's been an outside dog who is learning
quickly to love being inside and outside!
She dances in
a sprinker or in water sprayed from the hose... she just
LOVES it! The wetter she gets, the better! She's easy
to handle, likes car rides, and gets along with all the
dogs in her foster home. She's very responsive when you
call her. We will try our best to see how she is with
children and cats. But for now, she would do well getting
daily exercise, losing about 8 pounds and being loved.
Update from foster mom: Emma is such a loving girl. She is always nearby without being needy. She learns quickly and of course has adapted easily to being inside as much as she wants. Easily trained, food motivated. She has good dog sense, easy on a leash, loves the car and "going" with me. She is a joy to watch in the water. She likes it moving, not really interested in the doggy pool.
Fostered in Sacramento. Contact: Kim at kim@norcalaussierescue.com

Teddy, NCAR #222
 Teddy is an adorable 6 month old black tri boy who was surrendered to the
Sacramento SPCA by his family because they were moving. They had him since
he was 7 weeks old and he lived outside 24/7. This is a good boy who is
desperate for attention. He ignores cats, seems happy to play with all the
dogs in his foster home, and is ready for training. He kissed me all the way
home from the shelter. He took a bath without any struggle and seems quite
compliant. He's a big boy already and will probably be a 60 pound adult.
He's adapting well to his new surroundings and we'll post more as we learn
more about him. Fostered in Sacramento.

BLUE,
NCAR #190
Charley & Blue |
Here's a happy Blue with Kyle. Blue will live with Tom, Karen, Kody and Kyle in Novato.
Blue is a loving mellow boy who enjoys being with his people the most. He's seven years old, weighs about 65 pounds (but could loose a few), neutered and up to date on all his shots. He loves children and gets along well with other dogs. We're not sure about cats but will let you know soon. He loves going for a walk, and is easy on the leash. We don't think he has spent a lot of time in the house because he has had a couple accidents, but is a quick and willing learner. No accidents in the last two days!! This is a sweet dog who deserves a loving home with a family that will lavish attention on him.

Caleb
Caleb is a 2 year old big furry boy from the Merced Shelter
who we transferred to Clovis. He's so sweet and we had
no foster space, so Teri graciously offered to foster
him at the Clovis Shelter till he finds his forever home.
His coat is very full, but will be gorgeous after some
work! He had many foxtails and stickers and will be professionally
groomed this week. He hopped right into the crate to travel.
He's got a great temperament and let Teri pull, poke and
prod as she yanked a comb through him! He kept giving
her his big paw! He had little reaction to all the barking
dogs as he walked to his kennel...he's vwery easy-going.
He has nice white teeth, so we're guessing he's not older
than 2 or 3. The office cat hissed at him and he was shocked
and then tried to make friends with her. He probably weighs
about 60 lbs. He has an Aussie head/body, a BC tail that's
white tipped and curled at the end, and ticking on the
lower legs and feet. Caleb is just a sweet, big boy! Fostered
in Clovis, near Fresno. Contact Teri Rockhold, Adoption

BROMELY
Bromley was running down the middle of Highway 174 near Grass Valley one
rainy night. Kathy picked him up and took him home. No one answered ads in
the paper and no one put up any fliers. She took him to her vet where he
tested positive for heartworm, so she had him treated.
WHAT A LUCKY FELLOW!
He's now heartworm free, fully vaccinated and ready to be neutered before
going to a home of his own. The vet estimates his age to be 4 years old and
we believe he is an Aussie-Cattle dog mix...although his demeanor and his
eyes seem Aussie. Bromley is an absolute jewel. He gets along with Kathy's
Sheltie, all people, and her 4 year old grandchild who pulls toys out of his
mouth! He is a calm boy who perks up when you play fetch with him! He has
learned his new name and came to me when I called him. He waits for a moment
when you put his food bowl down...as if he wants to get an OK before
beginning to eat. Bromley will be available after July 5 and an adoption
application is required. Fostered near Auburn. Contact Kim at

Baby Katie
 Baby
is a 15-18 month old blue merle girl whose owners couldn't
manage so they surrendered her to the Yolo County shelter.
They adopted her from the Sacramento City Shelter in
January. She is very spry and has learned to jump a
fence. She is a great candidate for an active person
living in an apartment or home without a yard.
As with most Aussies, she loves to be by your side.
Her previous owner told me that if she was left alone
in the yard, she'd jump the fence to play with the neighbor's
dog. She was great with 3 children, was glued to her
mom's side, yet they surrendered her because they couldn't
solve the fence jumping problem. She has not shown any
signs of wanting to jump the fence in her foster home.
She does, however, want her foster mom and her food
all to herself and will growl at other dogs when they
come close to her while she's getting petted. We are
working on that, but think she might do best as an only
dog. Fostered in Woodland. Contact: Kim at kim@norcalaussierescue.com

Kallie
Kallie is a 1 year old, spayed, bi-laterally deaf Cowboy Special.
Officially she is an aussie mix, but there is definitely some hound
(Catahoula is my best guess) in the girl. Kallie has responded very well to
training via hand signals, she knows sit, stay and lay down and show
tummy and has a wonderful recall in the yard or home. Kallie will require
a lead for hikes and such as she is prone to roam if left un-tethered. We
are diligently working on this issue. This beautiful girl is crate trained
and reliably housetrained and is UTD on vaccinations. Kallie walks well on
leash with a Sprenger collar and minimal correction. Kallie is currently 60
lbs and is a strong dog with significant herding drive and should not be
placed in a home with young children.
Kallie has had some problems with dog reactivity, but she does very well
after slow, methodical introductions to other friendly dogs and she fits
beautifully in our pack here with 3 other male border collies. Kallie has
been trained to a soft muzzle so she can be taken for walks and such without
being a risk to unknown dogs she may meet along the way. This will enable
her adopters to integrate her into a home with a friendly, tolerant dog with
equal energy with relative ease if they wish. Although I would not
recommend Kallie as a dog park dog she is loyal and intelligent and
independent. Her energy and enthusiasm is infectious and she is a real joy
to have around. Kallie is respectful of cats that are dog savvy and has
been a delightful addition to her foster homes pack.
 Because Kallie is deaf, a secure yard and a commitment to keeping her safe
and well exercised is an absolute requirement. Training a deaf dog is not
really any more difficult than training a hearing dog if you are consistent
in your efforts. There are organizations and information available online
and Kallies foster mom would be happy to continue to act as a resource if
needed.
Kallies foster mom would be happy to discuss her training and progress with
you, an approved adoption application http://bcrescue.dogsaver.org/ will
need to be on file prior to meeting Kallie.
For more information, please contact Danielle at kdaniellem@yahoo.com or phone (209) 834-2111 or Terri at email tld4now@aol.com

Shelby
Shelby is a beautiful 8-year-old Blue Merle. She's slight
at 36 pounds and quite agile and very energetic. Her owners
had children and find that they can't take her rollerblading
and running the way they used to. She prefers a quieter
home with lots of opportunities to get exercised and petted!
Shelby seems like a perfect candidate for active owners
who want an energetic, "go everywhere" Aussie. She is
smart, knows several commands and should be enrolled in
obedience class with her new owner to break her bad habit
of not coming when called! She also might be a candidate
for agility and maybe herding. She chases and nips at
bicycles, scooters and trucks and should be taught to
leave it or not be put in positions where she's off leash
when wheels go by! We're looking to find sweet Shelby
a home where she gets what she needs - she's a loving
girl who adores belly rubs and grooming and being with
her human! Located in Vacaville. Contact: Kim at kim@norcalaussierescue.com

is a happy boy who is friendly and responsive to people.

when told its ok then will happily greet the new people.
He is a nice guy who is ready for love and adventure in
a new home. Contact Diane at dhabener@sbcglobal.net

This little guy needs a home.... He was thrown from a moving vehicle on Hwy. 44 and luckily only suffered a little road rash. Luckily someone saw it happen and scooped him off the highway before even more tragedy struck.
He's currently at Millville Vet and needs a foster home right away....and a real home too. Please let me know if you can help this sweet innocent puppy find the kindness he deserves.
He's approx. 12 weeks old, male, and a terrier mix.

Royce NCAR #218
Royce and his new family |
Diana, Royce and Tom in their home in Fair Oaks. It was love at first sight!
Royce will go everywhere with Tom and as one can see, gives him kisses!
Royce,
formerly in the Dublin Animal Shelter was a stray who
came in with raw pads...maybe he was on the run for a
long time. He was owned and loved by someone! We are guessing
he is 4-5 years old and although he's a big boy at almost
60 pounds, he's quite lean! He's easy to have around,
is good off leash and on, did fine at the dogpark, is
housebroken, neutered and will jump in the crate in my
car or in the house. He's quite the talker...just trying
to tell me something, like I'm hungry or bored or I want
to go for a ride! He gets a little anxious if I leave
him, but he calms right down. He doesn't like dogs getting
near his food bowl or a treat that's within his range,
and will bark or shove away dogs who get near it, but
he doesn't hurt them. He plays with Dollie and can be
a goof ball! This is a nice boy. Fostered in Sacramento.

She likes going for walks and spending time with her humans. She has been shaved, but will probably have a fluffy coat in a few months! With her easy going and affectionate nature she would be a lovely addition to almost any family. Isabella has not lived with children in the past but would probably do fine with older children. She could live with another dog that is on her energy level. With proper introduction she should be ok with cats.

understands Aussies. Queenie is located in West Sacramento.

Blue
Blue is an 18 month old beautiful blue merle. He was
found in the country near Bakersfield. Lucky for him,
a wonderful woman found him and brought him home.
The owner surfaced, but decided he didn't want to keep
him. He purchased Blue (whose name was Buddy) along
with another dog and didn't have any time for him. In
fact, the other puppy got out and killed by a car, so
Blue was tied up outside when he chewed threw the rope
and ran away. He weighs about 70 pounds, knows some
basic commands and is a calm, easy-going boy. He doesn't
like the little dogs in his home, so he needs to be
an only dog. He seems to do fine around children, but
does not fetch. He loves to run around on 1/2 acre and
hang in thebed of a pick up truck, but he isn't fond
of riding in the car, so that will take desensitization
and time! This boy needs to stay in a ranch setting
- but we DO NOT condone transporting him in an open
pick up!! Located in Bakersfield. Contact: Kim at kim@norcalaussierescue.com

Spike
NCAR #204
 Spike
is a really nice, mellow, and elegant 8 year old black
tri. He loves children, will bring in the morning paper
and can jump 5 feet for a ball! His family had dogs all
their lives, but he was their first Aussie. They acquired
him from a neighbor as a puppy and said he's the smartest
dog they have ever had. He was surrendered to the Merced
Animal Shelter because they felt they were too old to
give him the attention he deserves. He was loved and groomed,
but not allowed to sleep in the house. Spike is easy going
and as all foster Aussies, is very happy to hang out in
the house and be near people. He was an only dog and so
far hasn't shown a great deal of interest in doggy-play.
He is afraid of thunder and power equipment like mowers
and weed-eaters. He ignores cats! Fostered in Marysville.

Sadie
Sadie is a 2 year old Aussie mix who was found by the side of the road in Marysville. This girl weighs about 45 pounds, is spayed, and is up-to-date on all her shots and heartworm preventation medication. Sadie was brought in to the family to be a companion for their purebred Aussie, Jake. She is a very sensitive girl, very loving and affectionate. She likes to wrestle with her 'brother', Jake and retrieve balls. Like Jake, she also becomes quite stressed when left alone for long periods of time. Sadie is shy when meeting people for the first time, and needs training and socialization to develop her confidence. She is fine with other dogs and great with cats. Her ideal family would be with someone who is home most of the time and who has the time to give this girl the attention and exercise she needs. She is located in Elk Grove.

Cooper, NCAR #219
 Cooper is a darling, 12-16 month old black tri. He was a stray into the
Merced ANimal Shelter and has wiggled his way into his foster parents'
hearts! When Cooper first arrived he was afraid of many things, like getting
in the crate, and going up stairs, and getting in the car. While he still
hesitates and sometimes tries to avoid these things, it is getting easier by
the day.
Cooper is house-trained and uses the doggie door with confidence!
Cooper walks nicely on a leash. While out on walks, he's encountered cars,
motorcycles, and bicycles. Cooper has not shown fear of any of these things
(a sudden loud noise can make him jump, but he gets over it). He also has
not shown any tendency to chase bikes. He is gentle and friendly with
children, and a 12 year old was able to handle Cooper on the leash. Cooper
is very responsive and sensitive. When you pet and scratch him he moans with
pleasure and hugs with his front paws - very endearing! He's playing well
with Rosie, his foster Aussie sister. Fostered in Sacramento. Contact: Kim at kim@norcalaussierescue.com
