Diego
Diego and Ernesto are either brothers or father and son. They came in together as strays. They are a bit shy, but friendly to humans and smush affectionately up against anyone who wants to pet them. They are VERY similar - both blue merles, have their tails, looked a little goofy when they came in, but have cleaned up nicely! These boys are young - staff gueses one is 1 year old, and the other may be 2 or 3 years old, but it's hard to know for sure! They are both gentle, and both like other dogs and are available for adoption. Children over 12 OK.
Contact: Berkeley Humane Society: 510-845-7735, dial 2 for adoptions, then 0 for the front desk.
Or email: frontdesk@berkeleyhumane.org
Location is 9th St. at Carleton, Berkeley. Hours are 11-7 Tues-Sun.

Charlee
Charlee is a wonderful three year old black tri boy who weighs about 60 pounds. He is full of personality; you can see it in his face! But because Charlee is an exuburant Aussie and just more dog than his owners can handle, they have reluctantly decided that, for Charlee's sake, he deserves a more suitable home. Part of Charlee's problem is that he gets very excited when visitors arrive and he has a hard time settling down. More exercise and obedience training will help Charlee to remain a bit more composed. Charlee is fine with other dogs, has never been with a cat and absolutely terrific with people and children of all ages. He adores the little ones although he may inadvertantly knock one over just because of his size. This boy would be a lovely family companion.

Carli NCAR #118
Carli is a 7-year old spayed female mini Aussie. She was given up by her family because they were moving ~ the #1 reason people give up their pets. She was raised with children, and is good around cats and dogs. She is a velcro black tri who is a fabulous constant companion. She likes to sleep up on the bed, be where you are and is used to getting what she wants! So if youre not looking for a Prima Donna, do not consider this sweet girl! Shes a bit overweight at 37 pounds, but is as spry as a pup. Her smile is infectious and she likes car rides, walks and just hanging around. Foster in Sacramento.

Suzie
Suzie is a cattle dog mix. Shes about 3 yrs. old, in good health, with the exception of a previously injured hind leg. She gets around just fine with a little limp, but it doesn't seem to bother her. She is a sweet and devoted dog, current on shots and heartworm negative. Suzie was adopted by an elderly woman a few months ago, but because she chases kids on bikes along the fence and is protective of her home, her owner relinquished her to the shelter. Suzie needs some training, playful exercise and reassurance in a loving home of her own. Suzie is being fostered in Grass Valley. Contact: Debra Sandler, AnimalSave, 530-271-0220 or debra@animalsave.org.

Trio NCAR # 118
Trio is an adorable 2 3 year old black tri who was a stray at the Yuba County shelter in Marysville. He has an amputated front leg. Joe, the kennel attendant fell for this boy and kept trying to find a home for him over the course of his 3 week stay in the shelter. Kathy, a volunteer with the shelter told me about him and drove him to Sacramento on March 12. I gave him a bath, took him in and out of my car, and over to his foster home where he settled in. He watched with great interest as his foster dad washed windows, and he likes attacking the water bucket!
Update: Trio has learned how to use the doggie door, the stairs and has become housebroken in 24 hours! He loves water, and will play endlessly with a bucket of water, dragging it around and poking his nose into it. Andhe loves running through the sprinkler! Hes going on car rides and learning about life in his wonderful foster home. He is fine with strangers and seems to be settling in well. Fostered in Sacramento.

outside dog all his life so he's learning house manners and doing very well.
He likes to play ball and Frisbee but he's not obsessed. He's very velcro
and bonded immediately. He's 40 pounds and should be closer to 50 at ideal
weight. He's up to date on all shots and ready for his "forever" family.

Kip
This handsome boy followed me home from a walk on El Pintado Road in Danville on Tuesday, Feb. 10 at about 2:00 pm. He was wearing a blue collar--no tags or microchip. The vet said he's mostly australian cattle dog and just over a year old. He loves playing with other dogs and seems to get along well with them. He doesn't chase cats unless provoked to do so. He's affectionate and busy, but I wouldn't say that he is hyper. He likes people and is really sweet. I can keep him as long as it takes to get him a home where he will have dog companions, human attention, an indoor lifestyle and lotsa love. He is neutered and up-to-date on his shots.

Buddy
Buddy is a 9 year old neutered Blue Merle ~ his birthday is 9/15/95. A family with two children got him from an ad in the paper 5 years ago. Buddy gets along with cats as well as dogs. This nice boy passed the temperament test at the shelter. Why is he in the shelter you ask? Because he keeps finding a way to get out of his back yard and walks to the shelter! Apparently, the shelter is just down the street from their home. Hes done this three times, and the fee to bring him home has escalated to $280 and the family cannot or will not pay. We would like to find him a home where he can live in a home with a secure, safe yard, and get the stimulation and exercise he is looking for! We will post a better photo of Buddy very soon.
Contact: Contra Costa Animal Services Martinez Shelter, 4849 Imhoff Place, Martinez, CA 94553.
Phone: 1-925-646-2995.

FOUND DOG
This big girl was running around with a black chow and was hit twice by a car near Old Placerville Road and Routier Road. A good Samaritan took her to Sacramento Veterinary Surgical Center where she got X Rays and a full exam FOR FREE! What a great vet! She had no micro chip and no collar and was in heat. An ad has been posted in the Bee, but if no one claims her, she can be adopted from the Sacramento SPCA on Florin Perkins Road. This girl is as nice as she is large! She weighs 90 pounds! We guess shes 2 to 4 years old, and a lab or mastiff mixed with another large breed. Shes very calm and has not been used to being in the house or in a van, although she enjoyed sticking her head out the van window during our drive! To meet her, contact the Sacramento SPCA. She is animal ID # 74172A.

Ben NCAR #115
Ben in his new home. |
Ben has a new brother, Hudson, and adoring parents. We are told he sleeps in one big crate cuddled up to Hudson.
Ben is a fun, young, black tri who came into the Sacramento County shelter with his brother. Ben is the larger of the two, and has a white blaze on his chest. He fetches the tennis ball and likes to be petted and gives little kisses. I think I saw him give me a little smile! He didnt want to come out of the kennel at the shelter at first, but then came out and never looked back. He greeted all the other barking dogs in the shelter and never once barked back at them. I had to lift him into the crate in my van to drive to the dog park he didnt mind. I took him to the dog park along with Jerry and they enjoyed playing with every dog there, from a pug to a lab! He greeted, but didnt chase, a 4 year old boy who was running around the park. This boy has a nice temperament from what weve observed so far.

Fostered in Sacramento.

Eli, NCAR #106
Eli is a wonderful 3-4 year old neutered black tri from the Madera County Animal Shelter. He has a thick, long coat and a big white blaze, and should weigh about 60 pounds (after he loses 10 pounds of chubbiness). And here's an added treat...he SMILES! His foster mom says his nick name ought to be "Dozer" because he is perfectly content to sleep at her feet all day while she works on a computer. This velcro Aussie is fine with other dogs, and okay with cats. He would do best in a home without children. He is being fostered in Rocklin. Contact Nancy at
nancy@norcalaussierescue.com or 916-435-8009.

Patch NCAR
Patch and her family |
Patch is just soaking up the love in her new family.
Patch is a 1 year old female Terrier-Border Collie mix. Patch lived her
first year in the back yard, never walked on a leash and never was allowed
in the house. Thankfully, she got a chance to play with children and
visitors, so she's social! She is adapting very well in foster care where
she flies through the doggie door, sleeps in a crate or dog-bed at night and
loves to play. Her absolute favorite playmate is Paxton, a 6 month old
foster Aussie.
see them play [75 KB]
She was raised around children and cats and likes to be where everyone else
is. She'll cuddle in your lap, too! She'd do best in a home with another
young, playful dog. She's very smart and will thrive with a patient, calm
owner who will take her through obedience training. She is current on her
vaccines, heartworm negative and spayed. She weighs about 27 pounds and is
extremely agile. This is a sweet girl looking for a loving home of her own.

Jerry NCAR #116
Jerry is Bens brother, and also a fun, young black tri. Hes a bit smaller than his brother and has really bright copper eyebrows and just a little white tuft on his chest. He came right out of the kennel at the shelter and greeted me and all the other barking dogs with a wiggle butt. He likes being petted and gives little kisses. He comes to me readily when I call him, and fetches the tennis ball nicely. I had to lift him into the crate in my van, and he never fussed. He played nicely with all the dogs at the dog park he has a really nice temperament. Ben and Jerry are very bonded, so its difficult to distinguish their personalities at this point. When we learn more about them we will update their bios. Fostered in Sacramento.

Bear I.D: 02-19-04 3
Bear is a really nice, mellow black tri. He was an owner release but we don't know the details yet. Once we get any more information, well add to his posting. Bears teeth are really beaten up and chipped, but chipped teeth are not necessarily an indication of old age. Well wait until the vet takes a good look at him before we guess his age. What a beautiful boy he is! The shelter volunteers say that Bear is sweet, friendly and easy-going. He currently weighs 55lbs but could stand to gain a few pounds! He is very well mannered and does great on a leash. He is very gentle and affectionate to all. He seems very smart, and is a loving boy who would love a new home and family.
Contact: Tehama County Animal Shelter, Red Bluff, CA.

Max
Max is a 6 year old Aussie-Border Collie mix. (Although he looks more Aussie!) Max was surrendered to the animal shelter because his family just didnt have the time to spend with him and care for their 2 children as well. Max is neutered, medium-large in size, has been an inside/outside dog, is house broken, walks on a leash and sits when asked. Shelter staff say hes VERY friendly, VERY loving, independent, VERY playful, easy going, smart and alert, Max got along with their other dog and their children so how could they give him up?
Heres what a volunteer says about Max:
I was able to reach the people who turned Max into the shelter and learned that he had lived with a 2 and 4 year old and was very good with them. He also was great with all the neighborhood dogs. She said she only saw him once with a neighborhood cat and he seemed fine. But he doesn't have a lot of experience with cats. She gave him a whole hearted endorsement and says he's a very good dog.

Katie
Katie is a cute 18 month old shepherd mix. She's spayed, housebroken, and is
updated on all shots. She is curious, playful, and smart! She likes to play
fetch and brings the ball right back to you, knows sit, shake and down. She
doesn't dig and is ok with cats, but if they run she'll chase them! She
walks well on a leash, but wasn't walked by her previous owner so sometimes
barks at other dogs which is easily corrected. She listens well and wants to
please and would do great in an obedience class. She has become a nice
member of her foster family, but really deserves a family of her own. We
hope to find Katie a loving home with a fenced yard and maybe a doggie door,
too! Children over 8 OK. Located in East Sacramento. Contact: Joanne at
