Earl
 Earl needs a home where he'll get more exercise & attention than his owners can provide. Hes a 70 lb Catahoula mix (or so they were told). He's a really good dog with a very big heart -- very dedicated & loving to his family. Earl loves to go on walks & to the dog park, but his favorite, by far, is playing fetch. He will play fetch all day every day if he could. He can jump close to 5 feet in the air to catch a tennis ball. He has a lot of energy & loves to run, so he needs a lot of space to run & a lot of exercise. He's housebroken, trained in basic comands, good in the car, & trained to the Invisible Fence.
Earl is good with other dogs when off leash, but tends to get a little bit assertive when he's on leash toward other dogs. He can be protective of his home/yard when other dogs, people, deer, etc. walk by, but responds well to redirecton. He has a lot of energy & can get a little anxious / hyper & barks when he's at the vet, around people riding bikes, or small children. Earl has always done well with the three year old son in his former home .
Earl needs a home where he will get plently of exercise & possibly a "job.".

BEAR NCAR #545
Bear lives with Lisa, Everett and Porter, his new Aussie brother. Bear especially loves lounging on the couch with Lisa as shes recovering from a broken ankle!
Bear was taken to the Solano County shelter at the tender age of 1 because his owner "had allergies." I wish the owner could know what happened to Bear after he dropped him off.
Bear flunked temperament testing because he was so shut down and sad...he couldn't be put up for adoption and his kennel card stated, OK to pts which means OK to put to sleep. Thank goodness shelter staff contacted us and asked that we rescue Bear right away.
Thanks to Debbie for pulling him for us and driving him to our Sanctuary where he ran around, played with most of the Aussies, and found himself again. I honestly dont know how these dogs can be so resilient and trusting after being so poorly treated. Bear knows sit and come and is housebroken and is a nice, slender, red tri boy. Fostered in Grass Valley.

Tiffany NCAR#330 Puppy Mill Aussie
Tiffany is happy watching TV with Laura and John, her new parents! Tiff lives in Foresthill and is happy to soak up all the love!
Congratulations Tiffany!
Mama Tiffany is an ultra timid 6 year old girl.
She gave birth to 7 puppies in our care in October, 2006 and all of them have found loving homes.
Tiffany needs a lot of time to learn to trust her person
and is not a dog for the first time Aussie or even first
time dog owner. She'll need a special, quiet home with a devoted person who will tether her to her for the first couple of weeks. She wants so much to be loved. Tiffany loves children and can live with grown cats.
She
gets along well with other dogs, and is especially playful with puppies. She do best soaking up all the attention and learning to bond as a single dog, but could live with a playful, nice male dog - preferably and Aussie. She's making strides and now sleeps inside sometimes, will peek in when visitors come by and is becoming more comfortable and more confident....albeit slowly! Fostered in Grass Valley..

Billy
Billy is a sweet, but very worried boy. He was shut down in the shelter, so
Border Collie Rescue pulled him. We're not sure of his breeding, some are
guessing Border Collie mixed with Bernese or Aussie, some say Border
Collie/Spaniel and maybe Aussie.
He let the shelter workers comb out the mats behind his ears, & he bonded
with one of the women there. He's not a happy-go-lucky dog - he's dear, but
he's going to need some TLC & some confidence-building. He strikes us as a
dog who bonds strongly with one person & who gets his confidence from
that person. He is still young, however, so he may blossom quickly. He
allowed lifting him into a crate and with slow gentle guidance, should be a
nice companion for a quiet home. Billy is in Chico. Contact

Hugger
Hugger was adopted from the Lake County Animal shelter after being rescued from a bad living situation. She's about 2 years old and looks almost purebred, but probably not! She's a pretty, blue merle who weighs about 35 pounds. She has been in her adoptive home only a month and has learned lots already. She's smart!
She loves children with no restrictions, and is fine in the house and car alone. She has some separation anxiety and will dig, jump or climb fences to find her personthis is a problem.
Hugger is high-energy and incredibly smart. She is learning quickly the limits in our house but has been kept in a small back yard for 2 years which she often dug out of and then roamed free. She needs someone to be with her more, or have her well contained if left alone. She's lived with Chickens and catsbut will chase a running cat!
She loves all toys and loves to chase balls. This girl is smart, beautiful and amazingly agile and quick. Agility or Herding would be excellent for her! Hugger is in Lakeport.

Jack
Jack is an extremely intelligent, sweet, gentle, loving, loyal Jack Russell Terrier. He is currently being fostered at a home with two other Jack Russells (male & female). He has been displaced from his home twice already, and he truly deserves a long-term loving home that returns his loving nature with the affection he needs.
He gets along wonderfully with the other male & female JRTs; they play together as a group everyday. He has some sensitivity issues with having been moved from home to home, and his foster mom has been working with him to help him trust them. His new owner will need to do this this as well; he is tentative & just needs to know he is safe where we is once and for all, and hell do just fine.
Jack is 6 years old, and very well behaved. He knows all the basic obedience commands and a few tricks too. He is not destructive and will quietly wait for you in the car or at home. His favorite game is chasing water from a hose. Please consider giving this wonderful boy a new home. Jack is being fostered in Roseville.

She is a pistol! VERY smart, alert, curious and busy! She sits for treats, plays hard with Moto, yet always follows me over playing with him. To learn more about deaf Aussies, go to www.amazingaussies.com and most good trainers will also teach hand signals, so training this girl should be easy! Fostered in Grass Valley.

She is absolutely a love with all people and children..even toddlers. She is playful with other dogs, too. Shes a dream on a leash, but hasnt had any formal training via hand signals. This is a nice, bright girl who hasn't a mean bone in her body and is so deserving of a permanent home where she'll be safe and get plenty of, love and training.

vaccines and has lived with Oreo, his older brother his whole life. (see

Pepper
Pepper (AO69730) is a cheerful medium-sized seven-month old tricolored neutered male Border Collie mix. This happy and highly intelligent puppy is very food motivated and a quick learner. Since Pepper is a puppy, he has plenty of enthusiastic energy and loves to run and play with soft toys. This smart and capable fellow looks forward to continuing his basic training in a loving and active home. Shelter volunteers note that Pepper is very attentive to people so he is highly trainable and in the hands of a caring owner will exceed expectations for being an obedient and well-behaved canine companion. Pepper is a very typical puppy who needs work and training, he will do best in an active family that is willing to spend time training him daily. Pepper much too entergetic and playful to live in a household with cats.

Rocky NCAR # 539
Rocky lives with Mark in the East Bay and gets to go to work with his new Dad every day! This match is perfectly wonderful for them both!
Rocky is a big guy, 65-70 lbs and about 4-5 years old. He has gorgeous eyes,
amber and blue. He came to a family's yard after the July 4th fireworks and
never left! No one answered the ads in the paper, so the family kept him all
these months.
Rocky is very dog reactive...especially bigger dogs. He's not sure what to do and will nip at their nose. He's not a dominant dog that goes for the neck...but still, he'd do best in a situation where he doesn't need to go on leash walks or encounter strange dogs.
He's spent a lot of time indoors bouncing from sofa to
sofa playing with the man who found him. But he received no training and doesn't love to meet new people...he's reserved. Training would help him immensely. But he's a nice boy, gentle mouth and knows how to
sit, and that's about it.
Rocky is big, strong, smart, and handsome. Boarded in Sacramento until an appropriate foster home or permanent home can be found.

Teddy
Teddy is a 3.5 month-old Aussie/Lab mix pup, who was adopted by a senior woman who didn't recognize how much energy a pup would be; it had been a long time since she'd had one. In the weeks she had Teddy, she took wonderful care of him, so all he has ever known is kindness & good care. Teddy has a lovely temperament & gets along well with everyone he meets: humans, canines, & even felines. He has not been around small children, but we haven't seen anything in this pup that would make us worry. We'd prefer to place him in a home with children over 6-years-old. We believe he will make a wonderful companion dog for someone with an active lifestyle who wants a smart, energetic, athletic pal. Teddy is crate-trained. He is current on his vaccinations, worming, & heartworm preventative. He will be adopted with a neuter deposit, refundable when he has been neutered. To learn more about Teddy or to request an application to adopt email bellestarr@lotsadogs.org

Gibbs is a 12-15 months old, big blue merle. Hes a silly, sweet, knock over your vase type of boy without a mean bone in his body. He loves to wrestle with boys and wont lay a tooth on them. He doesnt play fetch...has no idea what thats all about. Hes all over the place on a leash, needs lots of activity and is a complete love bug. This boy must get obedience training in his new home and would probably do best with someone who has had and trained an energetic Aussie before. Gibbs is about 60 or 65 pounds and is living with 3 cats, but would like to chase them when they run! Gibbs is fostered in San Leandro.

Annie and her sister Lana
 Lana
Annie and her sister Lana were orphaned in southern CA. They were found in a neighborhood and it was thought that someone had to be looking for these two beautiful sisters but no one came to take them home. They were out of time at the Bakersfield shelter, so we rescued them because the gals are very, very sweet and they will make a wonderful instant family for someone! They are both overweight and are now eating less, but it does not stop them from being active with all of her foster pals. Both are obedient and like cuddling, too!
Annie and Lana are truly bonded---they have so much fun together; are gentle; know general commands; and listen well! We know they miss their family---and would love to get into a real home!
