Lyra
Lyra is a cute, little cattle dog mix who was found running loose in the
country. She is a little underweight and will be spayed soon. She is shy,
afraid of loud noises, but not aggressive. She sleeps well in a crate at
night with out making a peep. She loves to cuddle and doesn't bark unless
the other dogs do. She has been getting along great with the dogs at my
house and my parents. She is very sweet and eager to be your friend. She is
not food agressive, and has never shown any agression towards any member of
my family other than the cats! She is coming out of her shell and being a
playful pup - we know she'll make some family a great dog. I have not seen
how she acts around small children but she isn't scared of strangers who
enter my house. Lyra is in Madera, CA. Contact Jackie at 559-313-7285 or

Budweiser
Bud is going "kennel crazy" at the Marin Humane
Society. He's spinning and getting frenzied. This is a
good boy who needs out asap. Bud is a 2 1/2 year old Catahoula-Aussie
mix. He's a wonderful boy who was surrendered to the shelter
by his family cause they were moving - they had children,
but we're not certain of their ages. They kept him outside
24/7 and didn't spend much time with him. He loves children
and loved it when the kids went outside to play with him,
but it certainly was not often enough. This is a good
boy who is great with other dogs and people, and may chase
a running cat, but wouldn't hurt it. Bud has been under
exercised and under stimulated and needs a good home where
he's allowed in the house with his people and will get
the exercise and training he deserves.

Chance
Chance is a young, male aussie mix. He was quite shy when he came into the shelter. He didn't even want to venture out of his pen. But out he came in short order and is learning that people are not so bad. We called him Chance because that's all he needs, the chance to show he will be a loyal and faithful companion to a lucky person or family. Chance is excellent on a leash, has rarely pottied in his pen, and thrives on consistency. Chance has medium hair and would love a person to call his own.

Sugar
This is Sugar. You know how you can just meet a dog and fall in love? That's what happened to me when I met sweet Sugar. She's very shy at first, but as soon as she begins to realize that she's going for a walk, she walks like a pro, right by your side, even when I took her off leash! She's very affectionate, but seems hesitant to give kisses. She knows how to sit and lay down, and with all the attention you give her, will learn more in no time! She comes when you call her or whistle, and will lay at your feet when she reaches you (how sweet is that?). Obedience classes are a great way to bond with your new dog, and there's no doubt that Sugar would shine! She has a very distinct, quiet, bark (that you might only hear when she's in her kennel here), that makes me wonder what she's saying. You might be able to find Sugar in the puppy run, in kennel 2 (if I don't get to her first!) Oh, did I mention that she's a volunteer favorite? She sure is! (mhs)

Zoey
Zoey is 8 - 9 year old beautiful black bi Aussie girl with a silky coat. She
has a natural bob and weighs 37 pounds. She is good with cats and most dogs
and behaves wonderfully in the house and is housebroken. She came from a
home with a single mom and 3 boys who are now grown & gone. Zoey is good
with most kids, but we think kids over 10 would be best cause she can be "a
little cranky at times!" Zoey is very smart and used to getting her way, so
her idea home would be with people who are familiar with typical pushy
Aussies! Zoey has been at the shelter way too long and needs a home of her
own ASAP! Zoey is a love with a twinkle in her eye who the kennel supervisor
has taken under her wing. Contact Jean A. Miller, Kennel Supervisor, Dept.
of Animal Regulation, Ventura County Animal Shelter. Phone: 805-388-4341,
Ext. 4357 or email Jean.Miller@ventura.org. Website: www.vcar.us

KASI, NCAR #181
Kasi, short for MIKASI ("coyote" in Native American) was
seen running loose in Petaluma for about a month. Finally,
he ran onto a good samaritan's property where she was
able to call him to her. This beautiful boy was entangled
in a coyote snare and was a terrible mess. She got him
to a vet and posted ads, but no one has responded. This
lucky boy is living the good life now and is deserving
of a great forever home. He's 2-4 years old, in good shape
and has put on some weight in foster care. Fostered in
Petaluma. Contact: Kim at kim@norcalaussierescue.com

CODY, NCAR #178
Larry and Cody |
Cody lives with Larry in Reno where he gets to play Frisbee in the snow, the
park or in the livingroom! Larry waited a long time before finding his
perfect Aussie buddy and we're glad he found Cody!
Cody is a 7 years young Australian Shepherd who is in love
with his Frisbee. This is a great Aussie who is great
great with people and children. Cody is an extremely well
trained dog and will be very easy to live with for any
one who wants a really fun guy. He's always ready to play
but settles down nicely when you tell him to ~ he's happy
just hanging with his person. We think he'd do best as
an only dog because he's shown a little jealousy when
other dogs come up while he's being petted - he air snapped
at them. Considering this boy was at the Mendocino Animal
Shelter for almost 3 months, we think he's handling himself
pretty well! He's already getting better about the jealousy
and is very correctable with a "No". He has a beautiful
coat that his foster mom has brushed continuously for
two days! This is a great Aussie ready for his forever
home! Make sure you like throwing a Frisbee! Fostered
in Ft. Bragg, CA. Contact: Kim at kim@norcalaussierescue.com

Abbie, NCAR #171
Abbie & Easy |
Abbie lives with Easy, her new Aussie brother in Foresthill. She has her mom
around almost 24 hours a day and gets to run around with Easy on a huge
property in the country. Abbie likes Easy a lot and the feeling is mutual!
Abbie was a stray picked up by Sacramento County Animal Control. She's
probably 3-5 years old, overweight and matted, but I took her to LaunderDog
straight from the shelter and she's clean now! She's a sweet, little Velcro
Aussie girl. So far, we've not seen anything we don't like. She took to a
bath given to her by a stranger as exhibited in this photo! She greeted the
other Aussies in her foster home nicely and came right to me when called.
We'll post more about her as well as photos with a dry coat soon! Fostered
in Sacramento.

Trooper
Trooper is a 2 year old red bi Aussie mix - possibly part Border Collie. He
had been living in a home where he was abused and the couple were fighting.
Two dogs were removed from the home, and one was adopted and Trooper is
being fostered by people who have other herding dogs. He is smart, fetches
like a pro and is housebroken. He sleeps inside at night with three other
dogs. Trooper may be the offspring of working dogs because he is quite
intense, extremely smart, and needs direction and training to truly feel
fulfilled in life! He also needs LOTS of love and attention to make up for
what he lacked in his first home. He is good with other dogs and absolutely
LOVES kitties - he had 4 in his first home! But most of all, Trooper needs
the devotion of an owner who has the time and love to invest in him. He is
very anxious to please and just wants to be loved and feel secure --
finally! This boy will excel in obedience, agility, herding or whatever fun
comes his way. Fostered in Sebastapol, CA.

Zito NCAR #177
Laurel, Cody, Gary & Zito! |
Here's Zito with his new Aussie sister Cody and his parents Laurel and Gary.
Zito lives in SF only 3 blocks from the beach where he'll get daily romps!
Zito is a 14 month old bundle of love and energy. He spent
his life outside and slept in the garage. Thankfully,
his owners realized he deserved more and asked us to find
him the perfect home. Zito is a wonderful little Aussie
boy at 35 pounds! He is not afraid of people and greets
everyone with the same sweet enthusiasm...whether human
or canine. He had his first trip to the dog park and did
just great.
See video of Zito at the dog park [294 KB]
He comes running when called and crates easily. He's now housebroken and
using the doggie door. This boy is so deserving of obedience classes and
tons of attention and love. He will mature into a wonderful Aussie at about
40-43 pounds. Fostered in Sacramento.

Aspen
Aspen is a 16 week old, purebred, blue merle, neutered,
male, mini Australian Shepherd. He's mostly white because
he's the product of "merle to merle" breeding and that's
why the breeder turned him into the county shelter. Aspen
is probably deaf or hearing impaired and may have some
sight impairment also, we're not sure because he acts
just like any other puppy. These aussies are just like
any other aussie, playful, loving, intelligent, etc. They
always keep an eye on you, they are loyal just like any
other aussie. They are easily trained just like any other
aussie using hand signals. Adopting a special needs aussie
is just like adopting any other aussie, you must make
a commitment to make him a part of your family, keep him
safe, take him to training and give him lots of love.
He's fostered by Animal Friends rescue in Salinas.
To meet him please contact Debra McCraw, e-mail

Layla
Susan & Layla |
Layla in her new home with Susan and her cat, Tigger in Hercules. Layla starts obedience training right away and may do agility some day. She walks around with her squeeky toys and makes her mom laugh out loud!
Layla is going to be two years old in March. She's a pedigreed, blue eyed
red merle who has been under exercised and overfed!
She's completely devoted to her primary caretaker, but hasn't received the
attention she deserves so they would like to find her a home where she will!
She's overly excited when she's around people because she's starved for
attention. She's extremely excited to meet anybody, but will settle down
after awhile. She's great around a 4 year old grandchild and all people. We
took her to the dog park for her very first time and she was fine with most
dogs approaching her, but she got worried and snappy when some males
approached her or her owner. She obviously needs to slowly get socialized
with other dogs. This is a nice girl who needs regular exercise and exposure
to new experiences! Layla is in Roseville, CA.

Fly |
Fly NCAR #165 and Mooch NCAR #166
Read about Fly and Mooch's new home!
Mooch |
Fly and Mooch are about the sweetest Aussies you'll
ever meet. They are 4 year old littermates who have
lived together since birth. They have lived with children,
cats and other dogs.
Fly is a lovey, easy-going red merle girl with beautiful
blue eyes. She loves to groom and play with Mooch
and gently seeks hugging and petting from all people.
She's about 63 pounds.
Mooch is enormous, but light on his feet! He weighs
95 pounds and needs to lose about 15 pounds. Sometimes
he needs to back out of tight spots, and he does so
gracefully! He is a sweet cuddly bear who grooms and
wrestes with his sister.
Fly and Mooch are favorites at the dog park...and
pretty much anywhere they go. Fly jumps in the crate
in my car, and Mooch lies down in the back seat -
they travel easily! They greet everyone in the same
fashion... a gentle approach, soft eye contact and
heads in position for lots of pets! Everyone remarks
that they can't stop petting them! They will let any
dog run after them and enjoy meeting everyone.
Fly and Mooch deserve living happily together with
people who appreciate their incredible love for each
other and their easy-going nature. A huge doggie door
for Mooch would be a plus! They would make great Ambassadors
for a family owned winery or home business! Fostered
easily in a small house in Sacramento!
