Macie NCAR #284
Macie is a 15 month old blue merle with her long, fluffy and gorgeous tail. It's quite a plume! She is fun, energetic and about as typical as an adolescent Aussie gets. She's been in two homes already, slept inside, lived with a cat and a 12 year old child. She would benefit greatly from an obedience class and an owner who would teach her some simple manners and commands. She's all over the place on a leash, but great at the dog park!

Someone debarked Macie, but she still has a bark. She's about 44 lbs and has a very nice temperament. Fostered in San Leandro. Contact: Kim at kim@norcalaussierescue.com

Demi NCAR # 259

Demi is a 2-4 year old mini black tri Aussie. She came in the night box at the Sacramento County shelter with no information. She was completely petrified and ran away from me in the play yard. I had to step on her leash to catch her. When I cornered her she gave up and seemed relieved not to have to run anymore.

I held her in my lap and touched her all over, even checked her teeth. I let her go, but she didn't jump out of my lap....just stayed and looked away. At 20 pounds, she could have stayed in my lap for hours! Demi is a project - but we've rescued timid dogs like this before and they can become loyal, sweet and affectionate dogs.

Demi nipped at a young boy and is not too sure of most men. She loves most women and loved to cuddle with an 8 year old girl, but still needs plenty of time to warm up. She can be cuddly and likes to sleep in bed next to me. She likes other sweet dogs and will play with the young ones.

We have 2 female Aussie pups available. We want to make sure they are healthy upon adoption, so they won't be available till they're 9 weeks old on April 9. Muffin, their mom is a blue merle and gave birth in the shelter. All experts agree they appear all Aussie!

Chase
Chase lives in Placerville where he'll have plenty of room to play soccer with his new family.

This darling, male, blue merle with a tail was found in Modesto. The person who found him is now fostering him. He's a nice, smart boy who knows several commands. She brought him to the shelter hoping his owner would come for him, but when no one came after 5 days, we pulled him.

He's already neutered and lives fine with a cat and a 9 month old child. He is not destructive, likes the water and will crate. He shows no separation anxiety and is housebroken. He lets the baby crawl all over him, is a bit protective of it and will alert strangers who approach the baby. He loves to play fetch and loves the soccer ball! Chase weighs about 45 lbs. Fostered in Modesto. Contact Kim at kim@norcalaussierescue.com

Buddy, NCAR #271
Buddy lives with Jennifer and Aaron in Sparks, Nevada. Jennifer's parents who live nearby have Aussies and Buddy will be able to romp with them often.

Buddy is an 18-20 month old red merle who weighs 57 lbs. He is very loving and darling. Besides being gorgeous and nicely put together, he has a genuine sweetness about him. He is so deserving of a loving forever home where his person is with him a lot. He could easily hang out in an office! We will require that he go through obedience training with his new owner as he can still jump up to say hello or solicit pets. Buddy is a lovely boy who will make a fabulous companion. He likes the dog park and gently introduces himself to new dogs. He will chase cats, so a cat free home is best.

He likes to fetch, and loves to run fast! He can easily live with another dog, just as long as he gets the training and attention he deserves. He may be a great candidate for agility or flyball in time. He is VERY easy to handle, responsive, quite sweet, very energetic and strong, and trustworthy around older children who won't get knocked over! This is a beautiful boy who we believe would do best in a home familiar with Aussies where he'd get continued training. Fostered in Sacramento. Contact: Kim at kim@norcalaussierescue.com

Amy is a 6 month old black tri who is high energy, willfull, confident and fun. She needs an experienced person to provide strong leadership and give her training and exposure to the world and she'll grow up to be a great adult Aussie girl. She plays well and is sure of herself with other dogs. This girl will roll right over meek dogs.

Bought from a breeder at 8 weeks, Amy had the run of the house and yard. She was given up because her owner said he's too old to handle her, but the reality is that he's too inexperienced to handle her. She can live with a playful dog and a cat. She's a bit too much for small children, but would be fine with sturdy, savvy children 10 years or older. She ran like the wind for 1/2 hour at the dog park and came home and wanted more! Fostered in Sacramento.

Mindy
Mindy is one lucky girl who was chosen by Deanne and John in Penryn. She happily runs around their small ranch and delights in swimming in her new pond!

Mindy is a 2-4 year old Shepherd mix. She may be Aussie/German Shepherd/Lab...not sure! Mindy is energetic, loves the dog park, plays with all dogs, and fetches. She's really a delightful girl without any issues! She ignores cats and would be fine around older children who would respect her need to be left alone when chewing on a rawhide or chew bone.

Mindy's a lot of dog! She loves to run and play hard and would make a great jogging companion! She has lost 5 or 6 pounds since this photo and looks and feels GREAT! She LOVES car rides and is a Velcro Girl!

This is a fun, sweet girl who will make a nice companion! Contact Kim at kim@norcalaussierescue.com. Fostered in Sacramento.
