Flirt NCAR #
 Flirty's choose Dave & Peggy for her new family
Flirt has proven to be a fear nipper, so absolutely no kids. In fact, she needs a really quiet home with an experienced person. Her owner told us that she loves water and is a little Diva. She's housetrained, crate trained and loves soft toys. Her nose takes her everywhere and if there is food, she sniffs it out! She is a cuddle girl, enjoys snuggling on the bed and sleeping at her person's feet. She can be handled and even goes into the shower.
2/12 I have not become Flirty's person yet. She's been at the Sanctuary for almost 5 weeks and has yet to come to me. She's staying far away from me and will only come near me when I feed her.
3/13 Flirty stays close to me now and hangs around when visitors come to the Sanctuary. She won't allow us to pet her, but she does come in to get treats...and she sits beautifully! I can touch her for a split second, but that's it. She also comes into the house now...that's progress!
3/30 Flirty has chosen her people. Peggy and Dave have spent a lot of time with Flirty and know her quirks. Flirty adores them.

RILEY
Riley is a 1 year old neutered Australian Cattle Dog. Hes being rehomed because his owner isnt home enough to properly care for him.
Riley is a fantastic dog with a lot of energy and drive. He is a total sweetie and loves to play with other dogs. He has been known to nip at children, so we recommend no children and a handler/owner who is familiar with pushy, intelligent herding breeds. We urge obedience classes, too.
Riley would do best with an active owner. Running, hiking, agility, doggy day care..etc. He lived his life in a backyard with nothing to do, and we don't want history to repeat itself. He may take some time adjusting to "home" life. Suprisingly he doesn't seem to care about cats! Wahoo!
Riley is 45 pounds, up to date on all vaccines and microchipped. Hes being fostered with Lisa at her Pet Resort in Sacramento until a great home is found for him. Lisa invites you and your current dog to come and visit with him. Adoption donation $100.00 Contact Lisa at 916-202-0297 or lisachafee@hotmail.com

Mandy NCAR #435
Mandy is 18 months old blue merle whose owners got her as a puppy. She spent her life with two old big dogs outside in a kennel. There were children in the family, but they only played with her when they were outside. She didnt go for car rides or leave the back yard. Her owners surrendered her to the El Dorado County shelter because she didnt get along with one of their dogs Well..they put food in the kennel and the 3 had to fend for themselves. What a dreadful and stressful way to have to eat. Thankfully, the staff at the shelter asked us to rescue her.
Shes understandably shy, but has made great strides and gets along famously with the female Aussie in her foster home. Mandy is under 45 pounds and getting over many of her fears. Shes an inside and outside dog now and proving that she is resilient! Fostered in Placerville.

Mac
Mac is such a sweetheart! I couldn't get over his wiggly butt when I was doing his temperament test. Since his tail is docked hiswhole body wiggles with excitement from the moment he sees you. Mac was anotherdog that we got from Merced that was in danger of being euthanized. We are so glad we saved him; he is such a loving dog. Mac is only about a year old and we think he is Australian shepherd/border collie. He is a very bright, affectionate dog. Mac immediately wants to jump into your lap when you sit down with him. He loves to be petted and get a good belly rub. Mac was obviously someone's loved companion at one time. He knows "sit", "stay", and he walks well on the leash after he has been out for a little while. He is very eager to listen and forms a bond with you very quickly. Mac met a lot of other dogs and greeted them all with wiggles and kisses. He got along with every dog we introduced him with, even the dominant ones. I think he would be fine in a home with another dog as long as they met first. Mac met our office cat and was fine with it; he didn't bother it at all. When he went outside he met our other office cat Grumpy (who lives up to his name) and got swatted. Mac stepped back and stared at Grumpy for a minute and then moved on I don't think he really cares about cats and should be fine in a home with one as long as he is introduced properly. Mac has a great temperament and is very social. He wants to meet everyone he sees. I think he would be a great family dog. He would be ideal for kids over five because he's a high energy mix. Mac is an
amazing dog that is going to be a wonderful companion.

Harley
Harley is a beautiful one year old Australian shepherd/lab. He is very friendly and is the kind of dog that would be your shadow once he was bonded to you. Harley even has some obedience training; he knows "sit" "lie down" "stay" "come" and "heel", but he could work on his heel. He walks well on the leash most of the time, and is very eager to please. He is always looking back at you to make sure you are with him on walks. Harley was surrendered by his previous owner because he moved from a country setting to an apartment. Harley was not doing well as an apartment dog and his owner knew it would be best for Harley to go to a home with more space. Harley has been an indoor/outdoor dog that is housebroken. He would scratch at the door when he needed out and never had accidents.
Harley was around people most of the time because his owner was only gone about four hours a day. He was left loose in the house and was good, but would occasionally chew something up. That's not bad for a one year old dog! If chewing became an issue, you could always crate Harley. When Harley was outside he was loose without a fenced yard and did fine. Dogs should always be supervised outside if you do not have a fence. Harley was around children over five and was fine around them. He played politely and was gentle with them. I think he would be fine in a home with older kids. Harley is a quiet and sweet dog that would do best with kids that understood how to behave around a dog and were gentle. Harley lived with one cat and was fine. When he met our office cat he was scared of it and
did not want anything to do with it. I think he would be fine in a home with cats as long as someone took it slow with him and the cat was dog friendly. Harley lived with two other dogs and was great with them. I think Harley would be fine in a home with dogs, but would do best in a home with submissive dogs because he can be a little dominant. He did not like when a young dog jumped on him and avoided being around him but seemed at ease with older dogs. I think older dogs would be great for Harley. Harley lived with livestock and chased them. He never hurt them, but really enjoyed chasing them. I think he would be fine on a farm
setting as long as he was supervised around livestock. Harley's previous owner describes him as "friendly and playful" and says that they loved his
personality. They said he would do well in a home "with a lot of people". Harley is a wonderful, sensitive dog that deserves a great home.

Kody NCAR #257
Kody lives with Marie and Ed and their female Aussie (who stayed home for the big day!) Hes the perfect addition to their family and they love him dearly. As it should be!
Kody is an affectionate, 6-7 year old black tri who
weighs 60 lbs. He's got gorgeous amber eyes and looks
adoringly at me! We rescued him from the El Dorado County shelter. He is a total love
and a boy who'll soak up as much attention
as you'll give him! He also loves car rides and walks
on or off leash. He loves tummy rubs, all people and
is a real lover boy! Although this boy has gone on daily runs, he is really below average activity level and would love to snuggle on a couch with his person.
Kody cannot live with and should not be allowed off leash around small dogs or cats - he attacks
them (doesn't kill them, but he's a big bully and will put them in his mouth!) He is OK
with meeting new dogs his own size, and has lived in foster care with 10 other Aussies, but cannot be trusted around small dogs. He also has caught and killed a possum and a kitten. If you have country property and want a great companion and rodent hunter...Kody's your guy! He LIVES to be with people.
Kody is a total love bug who lets
you do anything to him....just a doll. This is a real VELCRO boy for someone who wants a low energy Aussie. Fostered in Sacramento.

Trevor NCAR #421
 Suzi, Trevor & Rick
Trevor turned 3 years old on December 6. He began avoiding and then growling at the 4 year old in his home. He eventually snapped at her hand, so we have taken him in at the Sanctuary.
Trevor knows many commands and really LOVES TO PLAY FETCH! He usually walks around with a tennis ball in his mouth. He's used to spending long hours alone in a back yard, and seems content to hang out with me and the other Aussies at the Sanctuary. He'll play fetch nicely and doesn't get snippy when other dogs go for the ball. He loves older children, teens and all adults. He lived with two cats and loves them. Trevor solicits pets from teenaged neighbors and likes car rides. He doesnt fear lightning or fireworks....and loves the hose!
Trevor knows sit, stay, lie down, leave it, take it, drop it, shake and comes when called. He is always dribbling a tennis ball and loves carrying it around. Trevor is about 60 lbs and a lovely black tri boy. He is OK on a leash, totally Velcro and good off leash in open space.
I think he'd love to be an only dog, or live with a really laid back female dog. Contact: Kim at kim@norcalaussierescue.com
