Cosmo
 Lois and Cosmo, George and Babe Cosmo is a hilarious 2-3 year old, 10 lb. terrier mix
who loves to run around with a stuffed toy in his mouth!
He fetches like a pro! He's lovey, funny, huggable,
and likes his crate. He is another lost soul from July
4th. We had him neutered and he's ready for adoption!
It's evident he's been an outside dog only cause he
marks, but he's improved greatly with correction. He
loves EVERYONE and is really one of a kind. The kind
folks at the vet's office could hardly part with him
and nick named him Gizmo! He's fine with children. Fostered
in Sacramento. Contact: Kim at kim@norcalaussierescue.com

Hunter
NCAR #325
Hunter lives with Sandra in Madera. She loved him the second she met him
and we think the feeling is mutual! He'll run around 10 acres with his
Border Collie brother and play fetch with his mom.
Hunter is about 5 years old and 55 lbs. He was rescued
from the shelter about 2 years ago. His owner died and
now her daughter is overwhelmed with 4 dogs and 3 kids
- she wants him to have a better life.
His age is an estimate, and from his energy level and
behavior, I think he's about 5 too. He is a fabulous
Aussie: Plays with a soccer ball, plays with other dogs,
likes people and comes when called. He will chase a
cat, but it's all in fun. He really needs and wants
loving and he's a sweet, sweet boy. He is ready to play
fetch and run around in an instant. He's lived with
kids and can handle lots of stuff, including walks in
crowds, parks, meeting new dogs and people. If someone
can throw the ball for him or take him to a dog park
so he can run around daily, he'd be happy! Hunter is
in Sacramento. Contact: Kim at kim@norcalaussierescue.com

Norm,
NCAR #302
Norm is a very sweet and gorgeous 3 year old black tri
who was born deaf. He likes cats, dogs and does well
with everyone. No one thinks he's deaf.....so I've stopped
telling them. His owner surrendered him to the Visalia
shelter because he had no time for him. Norm lived the
last year of his life outside 24/7.
6/25 Norm is the Dog Park Ambassador. He greets strangers
sweetly and usually sits right next to them...seems
all dogs like him, too. He likes to romp with playful
dogs and is easy to have around. He hasn't met a person
he doesn't like.
Norm can be startled, and can be a little mouthy when
excited, but he's never mean. One needs to be extra
careful with deaf Aussies. He loves riding in the car
and has become my "shadow". He knows how to
get what he wants and is an ultra sweet boy who responds
well to hand signals. Understandably, he doesn't like
to be left alone outside because he spent too much time
alone in his previous home. Fostered in Sacramento.

Bandit NCAR #175
Will & Susan |
Here's Will (formerly Bandit) and Susan at Statue Lake in the Russian
Wilderness Area of Northern California. Will is fascinated by the fish and
loves to swim ~ he's a great hiker and loves being out in the mountains!
Bandit is a happy, very energetic 3 year-old, neutered
male Aussie/Cattle Dog mix. He has a long coat with
feathers and many Aussie features, but the stocky body
of a Cattle Dog. Bandit has a solid temperament, although
he is collar shy, meaning he doesn't like being grabbed
by his collar. He's got great doggie-communication skills
and is ready for anything!
He loves playing in water...hose, pool, puddles, river!
He's sweet, fun and loves playing with the other dogs
in his foster home. He does well at the dog park and
plays well with other dogs. He ignores cats and is very
focused on his "person." He is learning not
to be mouthy, but can nip at children's heels when they
run from him. So, due to his mouthiness and his reaction
to being grabbed by the collar, we think he'd be best
in an active adult home or in a home with older teenaged
children who are dog savvy.
Update from his foster mom 6/24 He's
doing fantastic! His basic obedience is right on and
his manners are even better!! To say the least, my husband
wishes that all the dogs that come here were like him.
He still shows us he's collar shy, but we're doing our
best to desensitize him which will need to continue
in his forever home. He's great with the other dogs,
and the cats, and the people that are always coming
and going here....He's just such a great guy, people
need to come meet him!
He's having a great time being fostered with an obedience
trainer in Brentwood, near Antioch. Bandit is a
great jogging partner!

Bumper
 Bumper is a 14 week old lethal white Aussie puppy who is deaf and blind. He's
impressive and inspirational because he seems to get around and have a blast
and make it look effortless! He's being trained by hand signals and doing
great! He is one of the puppies from Arthur Warren and Georgia
THompson...not considered "sellable" so they gave him to NorCal Aussie
Rescue. Bumper is fostered in Hollywood,

Holden
Holden is a 5-6 year old blue merle who was adopted
in 2004 from the Contra Costa Animal Shelter in Martinez.
He is a big, beautiful boy who will chase squirrels
and probably a running cat. He is timid with new dogs,
and timid and can bark at new people, so a quiet, country-like
environment would be best for Holden. He loves being
petted by anyone who comes to his home! He's a jewel
in the house and has no bad habits. He barks at trucks,
cars and passing objects while in the car, but on longer
trips settles down and sleeps.
He's doing very well in one of our foster homes. Likes
everyone and is enjoying country life! Fostered in Susanville.

Pepper
Pepper loves to chase balls in the surf at Fort Funston. He is looking for a buddy who likes to play fetch as much as he does. Pepper is a four-year-old tricolor neutered male Australian Shepherd mix with big blue eyes. He is housetrained, knows several commands and is very smart. He has lots of energy and will need vigorous exercise every day. Pepper is quite an affectionate boy and loves to be petted by people he knows. He will come over to put his head in your lap. But he does not like being handled by strangers, so his new owners need to use patience in winning his trust and good sense in keeping an eye on him in public. Experienced dog-owners only. No children, please.
Pepper has been diagnosed with hip dysplasia. So far it
has not slowed him down in the least, but he may need
medication and even surgery in the future. Rescued by
Grateful Dogs Rescue in San Francisco. Please contact
them at: info@gratefuldogsrescue.org

Cinnamon
Cinnamon is an 8 year old, beautiful dark red tri Aussie. She is incredibly smart, devoted and full of play. However, she gets jealous and aggressive towards other dogs in her household and needs to be an only dog. She's fascinated with cats and although she doesn't hurt them, she won't leave them alone. As an only dog, she is a superb animal. She is fine with dogs she meets casually. She has been through obedience and is currently enjoying agility training. She loves to leap in the air to catch. She is crate trained, readily works for treats and loves attention. She is excellent with school age children. Application required. Cinnamon is in Sacramento.

Kira
Kira is probably 15-18 months old and came from the Stockton
Shelter. She is a sweet dog and her owner chose her because
of the mellow character she displayed at the shelter.
However, the mellowness wore off after she came home to
a small animal sanctuary where she chased the chickens
and fatally injured a bunny rabbit. She is quite active
and wants to play and run a lot! In addition, she has
little respect for the older dogs in her home and dominates
2 senior dachshunds, and harasses the cats! She needs
to play with other Aussies or herding dogs, get training
and structure in her new home (what else is new?) She
likes people and children, barks at the gardener and mailman
and needs leadership. Kira is in Brentwood. Contact Kim
at kim@norcalaussierescue.com.

Elsa,
ID #A044325 URGENT!
Elsa's had a rough past, and we'd like to find her
a great forever home. She's been at the shelter since
August 19 - now she's in temporary foster care. She
came in as stray after being adopted in June - her new
owner didn't come in to claim her.
Elsa is spayed and approximately 3 years old. She may
be an Aussie mix, but we think perhaps she's an Aussie
with her tail. She's in the shelter's "Heeling
Touch Program" which means she's been evaluated
by the shelter's humane educator to be good with dogs
and adolescent kids. Because of these traits 12 to 16-year-old
kids at Juvenile Hall work with her on basic behavior
-- heel, sit, down and come. Volunteers have also been
working with her on a Gentle Leader and she does well.
9/22 Elsa report from foster mom:
"Elsa settled into her kennel last nite and not
a peep from her all nite. She appears to be VERY housebroken,
will not soil in her kennel and waits to be let out.
She is upbeat, but not obnoxious, she has sniffed and
wagged her tail at all my dogs thru her kennel bars
and has not shown anything but curious friendliness.
She loves to run with my young
hyperactive male and they chase, then jump in the water
trough, chase some more then they settle down and just
hang out. She is eating 2 good meals a day, she sure
needs some more meat on her. She is fine on a leash.
She comes when she is called, not sure if she knows
her name cause all you have to say is "come on"
and she is eager for attention and pets. She
will make a wonderful companion for some lucky person.
I am sure that the relative quiet of the country (just
rooster's crowing and cows mooing and birds singing)
is a welcome change to the noise of the shelter. She
is a joy to foster. Diane"
Elsa loves to play with dogs. She's also gently affectionate
and will solicit pets from people. If you're sitting,
she'll place her paw on your arm to remind you she's
there. Elsa is interested in cats but with a word will
leave them alone. She is attentive, calm and quiet.
She rides well in the car.
Elsa is at the San Luis Obispo County Animal Services,
885 Oklahoma Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401. Shelter
phone: 805-781-440. For more details on her sweet temperament,
please call the Volunteer Line at 805-781-4413. We
can't take her into rescue because we're full at the
moment. Please help her get out if you can.

BEN,
NCAR #292
Ben lives in Livermore with Marty, Debra and Buddy. It was love at first
site! Ben will get plenty of walks and romps at the dog park with his new
brother Buddy. Ben's a happy boy!
This handsome Red Tri Aussie boy was a stray at the Sacramento
County Animal Shelter. He passed temperament testing,
but started shutting down so we took him into foster care.
He's down to 78 lbs. (from 85 lbs.) and getting daily
running exercise and loving it!
Ben's a real head-turner...all you want to do is run
your hands through his coat - and that's fine by him!
He's about 2 years old, VELCRO, and has had no formal
training. He's just naturally a nice boy. He can be
stubborn about coming when called, or going through
the door when he doesn't want to, but he's getting better
and always.......always sports a huge grin! He would
benefit from obedience training in his new home. He's
being rewarded for coming when called, sitting for treats
and is learning boundaries. He's goofy sometimes, and
can be very pushy about asking for pets and loving...he
really leans in and breathes on his person! He likes
car rides, plays with dogs at the dog park and clearly
wants to be a Nanny for the little dogs. No cats...he
doesn't leave them alone and wants to lick them! Contact
