Hank NCAR #XXX
Hank is a 4-5 year old red tri adopted from the Sacramento County shelter about 3 months ago. His owner is elderly and feels he can’t give him the home he needs, with plenty of exercise and stimulation. Hank can jump a 5 foot fence, but will only do so if he’s bored or scared. He likes other dogs and does ok on leash walks. He’s adjusting to life in a home, but needs more training and guidance.

Tank NCAR #624
Tank is a 12-15 month old Aussie with his tail. He's 53 pounds, is utd on shots and heartworm negative. He's lived with another Aussie, a cat and a 12 year old girl whom he loves! He has had obedience training and knows sit, down, over, off, go to bed. He's been eating Avoderm chicken and rice, sleeps on his dog bed next to his Aussie sister in his owner's bedroom. He loves to play with other dogs, is not leash aggressive, and only barks at other dogs he sees through the window.

He's friendly to strangers in public and in the home, and will actually solicit pets. He is such a loving, openhearted, fun and funny fellow! Very, very affectionate, and just wants to please his people. He lives nicely with an indoor cat who adores him, but will chase the outside cat that doesn't like dogs! He is young and energetic, and somewhat dominating, but can be corrected.

The landlord changed his policy, and has limited the number of dogs to one. The family is heartbroken and we're trying to find him a foster or forever home as asap. He's being boarded at Animal Den in Sacramento.

Amber NCAR #623

Amber's puppies
We were able to rescue this cutie from the Kern County shelter in Bakersfield at the 11th hour. She waas about to have a litter of puppies, so she was not available to the public, and no group stepped forward to rescue her. Thanks to Debra and her network of volunteers, Amber was driven to our Sanctuary in Grass Valley on Friday morning, 2/26. We think she’s 2-3 years old, and we know that she’s extremely friendly and sweet!

2/28 HOORAY! I awoke to little squeeking noises, and watched Amber deliver her tiny family!
2 red merles (1 female, 1 male) and 2 blue merles (1 female, 1 male). Although Mama looks mostly Aussie, and her puppies look Aussie, we cannot call them purebred. Mama and puppies are doing well and Amber is a terrific mom.

We are taking applications now. Open Houses to meet/bond with puppies are 3/27 & 3/28, 4/6 & 4/7, 4/13 & 4/14. Pups can go home 4/24. Adoption donation $200 required to adopt/hold a puppy.

Babs NCAR #XXX
Babs is a 4 year old black tri mini who was an outside dog used for breeding. She has had 3 litters of pups in her young life. Her owners surrendered her to a shelter a month ago because “she chased their horses.”
So a kind neighbor adopted her and asked us to take her because she wants to get into their chicken coup really badly! Babs is about 30 pounds, is now housebroken and is becoming a nice inside and outside girl. She has a very sweet disposition, is wonderful with children, other dogs and even cats! She will chase livestock, including horses, goats and chickens. Perhaps agility is in her future!

Tessa Sydney NCAR #623
Update 2/23
Tessa is a mini blue merle girl who ended up in the Stockton shelter. I researched her micro chip and located the vet that implanted it, so now know that her birthday is 7-28-04. Her name was Sydney, she'll be 6 years old in July and hadn't been seen by her vet for 2 years. She responds both to Tessa or Sydney.

She’s a tiny girl who is 5 pounds overwweight at 25 lbs! She loves her food, but also loves belly rubs and staying really close to me! She really doesn’t play with other dogs, and would rather not have them get too near her.

She’s great with people and is a cuddle bug. OK with cats. Fostered in Grass Valley. Contact: Kim at kim@norcalaussierescue.com

Cooper NCAR #621
Cooper cannot stop smiling… this is one happy boy! She shelter staff at Sacramento County said he could climb a 6 foot chain link fence, but so far he hasn’t wanted to get too far from me, so I think this is another example of leaving a" people oriented Aussie" by himself in a back yard way too long. He’s thin at about 42 pounds, about 1-2 years old and just adorable.

Volunteers groomed him and gave him a bath and he was an absolute doll, and I'm sure it was his first time in a tub! He likes to fetch a ball, likes to run, greets people enthusiastically and did I say that he’s grinning most of the time? He'd do best as an only dog or with a nice female Aussie. Fostered in Grass Valley. Contact: Kim at kim@norcalaussierescue.com

Athena NCAR #622

Athena LIVES and LOVES to play ball

Athena is a 5 year old purebred Border Collie. She was sold as a puppy to someone who gave her away about 6 months ago. She was found on 2/8 dodging traffic in Antelope. We scanned her for a microchip, located her breeder who implanted her microchip and got her entire story. She has lived with small children, has lived in an apartment as well as in a home with a large yard. Her last owner said she'd pick her up, but never showed up.

This girl is a jewel who we’re happy to help find a home where people adore her. She’s completely focused on a tennis ball and will fetch as long as you want! She is not mouthy at all and seems not to bark much. She’s fine around other dogs, housebroken, and easy to have around. She was spayed on 2/16 and available very soon. Fostered in Grass Valley.

Daisy NCAR #583
Daisy is a 2 year old black tri female who was darting in and out of traffic in San Rafael when a good samaritan stopped her car and lured her in. She was under one year of age. She was in pretty bad shape with lots of holes in her coat. She had recently had a litter of puppies. She is very smart and very loyal and only about 42 pounds. The kind family who found her nursed her to health and took her to obedience where she excelled in 3 consecutive courses.

They have teen aged children, and when their kids' friends came over, it was apparent that Daisy was afraid of young men, particularly in baggy clothing. She nipped some of them. So she needs to be on a leash if male visitors approach her. We have noticed the same thing at the Sanctuary, and she can be bossy and slightly antagonistic towards other female dogs, but not seriously so. She LOVES to play fetch with a tennis ball and is fabulous off leash in open space..

She'd be a great agility dog, companion for an active person who does not have children nor a busy household with visitors coming in and out. She is not a dog for leash walking in an urban environment. She is crate trained, too! OK with cats.

Rigby NCAR #592
Rigby’s a cute, 18 month old red tri who came in as a stray at the El Dorado County shelter in August, 2009. We placed him in October, but he came back to us because he’s relentless when it come to cats! He can also be barky when he’s in the car and sees other dogs, or in the yard and sees people coming to the house, so he isn't great for an urban environment with lots of stimuli!

His adopters took him through 3 obedience courses and he knows lots of commands, but he’s so smart, he usually waits to see a treat before he performs! He plays very nicely with other dogs, and would be happiest with another playful dog in his home.

He will make a great second dog as long as the other dog will romp with him. He’s OK off leash and has a lot of energy. He is also crate trained, but can sleep loose in the house. He’s a sweet boy who still has some maturing to do! Fostered in Grass Valley. No cats!

Max NCAR #619

Max was found early January dodging traffic in Antelope, near. The kind man who picked him up kept him for 3 weeks trying to find his owner, to no avail. He seriously bonded with Max and the feeling was mutual. Max was a perfect gentleman in the house, love the two childdren (9 and 12) and behaved like he always lived in a house. The family would have kept him if Max hadn't put their cat in his mouth!

Max has a microchip, so I did some research and actually spoke with the person who microchipped him. His story is that the woman who bought him as a puppy surrendered him to the Sacramento City Shelter in 2005 when he was 9 months old because she “couldn’t handle him", according to the records. The man with children aged 1 and 4 adopted him and kept him in the garage on a 15 foot cable for reasons I don't understand. He told me Max was a clever boy and very sweet with his children. He loved the two toddlers and played nicely with them as well as the dogs at the dog park. The man and his family moved to Colorado in 2006 and gave Max to someone in Orangevale. That’s where the story ends because Max’s owner can’t recall where he took him, and Max's microchip was never updated.

I have observed that Max is a nice boy who got very bonded to his foster Dad, gets along with other dogs and is great with children. He cannot live with cats. He’s very sweet and smart and knows shake, lie down, sit, and is a perfect gentleman.He really doesn't care about playing with other dogs, and gravitates towards people. He's a sweet boy who is settling in at the Sanctuary although the first day, he paced by our gate looking for his foster Dad who picked him up in traffic. This is a sweet boy.No cats! Fostered in Grass Valley.

Megan NCAR #620

Thank you for Your Help for Megan
Megan tested positive for heartworm, and with your help, we had her treated and she's now heartworm free and healthy! PayPal.

Megan is a 3-4 year old blue merle. We treated her for heartworm and she's now healthy!

Megan is very people social, and also seems dog social. She is a low to medium energy Aussie with an easy going personality. She really likes to stay close to her person. We've not tested her with cats. Their owner kept them outside 24/7 and they kept breaking through the field fencing and so he gave up on them. I really like this girl....she's a sweetie. OK with cats.

ASHLEY NCAR #609
Ashley is a beautiful 12-13 year old Blue Merle Aussie who was purchased as a puppy. We pulled her from the Paradise Animal Shelter where her owner surrendered her because she has no home. We updated her shots and Ashley is heartworm negative.

She is a sweet girl who is easy to have around. She loves car rides, is housebroken and seems quite healthy. I called her owner and Ashley has lived with children, but has not lived with cats. She plays like a puppy with Nicky! Go figure!

Loyal and calm, Ashley is another great senior Aussie hoping for a forever home. Fostered in Grass Valley. Contact Kim at kim@norcalaussierescue.com

***ADOPTED 3/7***

Kody NCAR #614
We pulled Kody from the San Jose shelter where he came in as a stray. He's 4-5 years old, neutered, housebroken, loves the van, knows sit, lie down, shake and will fetch. He is a huge Aussie and weighs 93 pounds....but we can still feel his ribs. The vet thinks he'd be just fine at about 85 pounds. We've done a full blood panel to make sure he's heartworm negative, and that his thyroid, liver and kidneys are healthy.

This is a loving boy who doesn't realize how big he is! He's got a big grin and likes to stay close. Fostered in Grass Valley.

Nicky NCAR #612
Nicky was brought into the Sacramento Animal Shelter on 12-8 by a concerned neighbor because he was outside day and night and it appeared no one was home. County officials posted a notice at the vacant home explaining that their dog had been brought in and gave them till 12-24 to pick him up. No one came for him and we rescued him on Christmas Eve.

Nicky is a bouncy, one year old red merle with two beautiful blue eyes, a natural bob tail and lots of love to give. He is a wiggly boy who loves attention and petting and is eager to learn. He needs obedience classes so he learns what’s expected of him. He is fast, strong and totally unaware of his size! He’s all wiggles when around me and will calm down with gentle petting and calm voice. He’s lying at my feet as I write this.

Scout NCAR PUPPY
Scout is a 7 month old, 20 pound mini Aussie bought at 4 months of age. He is ultra timid and not a good family dog. He loves other dogs and gets along with cats and chickens. He’s ultra shy around strangers and children.

He lives with a 6 year old girl and nipped her so the family has asked us to find him an adult only home where he will get training and desensitization to his overwhelming fear of strangers. This boy is special needs. Fostered in Grass Valley. Contact: Kim at kim@norcalaussierescue.com

***ADOPTED 2/27***
Buddy NCAR #609
Buddy wandered onto a family’s lawn in Galt. They advertised in their paper and put up fliers, but no one answered. Their vet estimates him to be about 2 years old and we believe he’s an Aussie mixed with either BC or Cattle dog or both…but he’s very cute! We have gotten him neutered, heartworm tested and utd on shots.

He’s a sweet boy, seems OK with a cat and children ranging from infants on up. He’s ok with the other two Aussies in his foster home, too! He LOVES to play fetch, sits for treats and wants to be a good boy. Fostered in Grass Valley. Contact: Kim at kim@norcalaussierescue.com

Ginger Snap NCAR #608

Help for Ginger
Thank you Jennifer in Danville for paying for Ginger's heartworm treatments!

Ginger will be spayed in February. If you'd like to help towards her surgery, please donate with PayPal.

We rescued Ginger from the Placer County shelter on 11/23, the minute her stray hold was up. She has been happily running around the Sanctuary, sits for pets and is a wiggle butt! We guess she’s about 3 years old. She’s just a delight.

She tested positive for heartworm. Her last heartworm treatment will be on 2/8 and then she'll be spayed.

Miss Ginger is a bit of a bossy Aussie with other dogs...would not be a great candidate for regular trips to the dog park. She is friendly to every person she meets, even on leash walks. Fostered in Sacramento. OK with cats, she wants to play with them!

Blue Bell NCAR #603
Blue is a 40 pound athletic and sweet, 4 year old Blue Merle. She was surrendered by her owner to a shelter to be euthanized because she was "protective of the family's children around other dogs". What I've witnessed at the Sanctuary is that she's a dominant girl who wants her way and will attack any dog that challenges her in any way. She's a doll with people.

Bell is very spry, compact and loves to run. She got out of the Sanctuary gate and ran around for 15 minutes before gleefully coming back. That said, she can hang with me on the couch, too!

Bell can NOT live with cats and should live as an only dog. She is housebroken and loves to get nice and cozy on a comfy couch or bed. Bell would do best in a home with an experienced handler who will guide her enthusiasm and energy - possibly agility, herding or rally. She is very fast and smart and loves people. Fostered in Grass Valley.No cats!

Bella NCAR #593
Bella is a 3 year old red merle with her fluffy tail. Bella is bilaterally deaf, and sees well enough to zoom around the Sanctuary! She’s a love bug with all people, Velcro, knows a few hand signals and is housebroken. She’s about 40 pounds and has a lovely coat.

Her owner turned her into the El Dorado County Shelter and wrote down, “I’ve had it. She keeps running off and won’t stay on my property.” He had no fencing and kept her tied out most of the time….torture for any dog. I can tell that she’s been hit because she blinks and ducks when I put my hand up to her head to pet her. Amazing that she's as loving as she is.

She adores all people and comes up to strangers for pets. She is a complete love bug. She plays with most of the dogs at the Sanctuary. She seems interested in cats and barks at them. Bella is a sweet girl who would be fine with older children (over 12) who understand the needs of a deaf dog. Fostered in Grass Valley .

Kitt NCAR #597
Kitt (Kittaroo) turned 9 years young on May 1, 2009. He's a beautiful, sweet blue merle from Twin Oaks Aussies. He's only about 43 pounds, very healthy and easy going, yet playful with his foster sister, Cody. His family separated and he wasn't getting enough human attention, so he was surrendered to us. He did get a run every morning and made several trips to the dog park each week...this boy is in great shape!

This is a very nice boy who wants to stay close to his people. He gets anxious if left alone too long, so a home where someone can be with him most of the time is best. Although he was raised with a guinea pig, he lunges at cats on walks, so he's better off with No CATS. Fostered in Grass Valley. No Cats!

Miles NCAR #576
Miles is a 9 year old, 50 lb. red tri who lived in San Francisco for the past 7 years. When he was rescued from a shelter he was 1 or 2 years old and had severe separation anxiety. His family was able to take him to work with them for the first 5 years, but then things changed and he was often left alone and he became destructive and anxious. He was on calming drugs up until he was surrendered to us in July. We've weaned him off the drugs, give him plenty of exercise and he is less anxious to the point where I think we can find him a home where he can be happy. He wants to be with his person, so leaving him alone for long periods of time is not good for him.

He's very good around all dogs and people. He's good off leash, on leash, rides well in the car, although wouldn't do well left alone in one for too long unless crated. He is crate trained. I've been taking him along on errands and so far, he's just fine for up to an hour in the car….then he'll bark. It probably helps that other Aussies are with him. Miles is a nice, nice boy who gets along nicely here at the Sanctuar. I take him almost everywhere with m, and that suits him fine! OK with cats. Fostered in Grass Valley.

Maggie NCAR #565
Found running in Sacramento, Maggie immediately latched onto her finder and was very comfortable riding in the car. We traced her microchip and found out from the vet who implanted it that she’ll be 3 years old in October, 2009. Although 3 phone numbers were listed with HomeAgain, we were unable to find her owners, so we assume she was given away several times, then abandoned.

She’s a mini Aussie at 30 pounds, but not good with other dogs. She is petrified of them and barks and lunges at them, sometimes getting fur in her teeth to say, “keep away” She has gotten used to the pack here, but meeting new dogs is dicey.

She knows sit and loves belly rubs. She's extremely sweet and loving. She can live with small dogs, but happiest as an only dog I'm sure. She's a good candidate for an obedience class to build her confidence and to learn that she doesn't have to go after other dogs. She's agile and can run fast, too! Fostered in Grass Valley.

Skeet NCAR #589
Skeet is a 10-11 year old red tri who came into the Kings County Animal shelter as a stray. He was so full of mats and foxtails, that the only solution was to shave him. As Teri says about his new haircut, "He's built for speed!"

Skeet's story is unbelievable... proof that these dogs are absolutely resilient, no matter what unkind things humans have done to them. Teri who runs the Kings County shelter had him heartworm tested and neutered and while he was being neutered, the vet found a .22 bullet in his knee. NO WONDER HE LIMPED!

The vet removed the bullet and his teeth cleaned and a couple were pulled. He's playful, likes his stuffed toys and is game for anything. His dental bill cost $300...seeing him so happy and animated...priceless! Help towards his dental bill is greatly appreciated!

Skeet is the nicest and most easy-going dog ever! He prefers to be at my side day and night, but doesn’t get anxious if I’m not around. He gets along with all dogs he has met, and will be ok with a mellow cat. He rarely barks and never complains. He lets you handle him and trim his feet very easily and is very relaxed at the vet’s office. He loves toys. All in all, he is a very affectionate boy and everyone likes him. Skeet is almost completely deaf. Fostered in Concord.

Rocky NCAR #561
Rocky is a 5-7 year old neutered male found wandering in the Live Oak area; his collar had his name on it but not a (current) phone number. He likes people and enjoys being petted. He really leans in for pets from his foster Dad whom he adores!


He's living with 2 other dogs in his foster home and doing just great, although he will push the others away for petting. He's had a hip X Ray thanks to his foster mom and dad, and the vet said his leg was broken a long time ago and never healed right. It doesn't slow him down, but he favors that leg a bit. He is getting daily walks and his coat has come back. He loves people and is a very nice Aussie boy.

Chloe NCAR #511
Chloe is from the mini Aussie puppy mill in Washington that was shut down by authorities. Chloe is ultra timid, but not aggressive. I was able to give her a bath and all she wanted to do is get out of my grip, but she never nipped or growled.

Chloe is a 3-4 year old blue merle who weighs around 22 pounds. She’s spayed, microchipped and upd on shots. Her perfect home would be with a person who can work with her and help her over come some of her shyness. She is not playful with other dogs...likes to stay by herself. She will never be an outgoing dog, but she is making tiny steps forward! Ok with cats. Fostered in Marysville.

Lily NCAR #342
Lily was adopted from us more than 3 years ago. She lived with a young family with a baby and a toddler. She’s very gentle with babies and sweet with all people. Lily is about 4 years old now and her one issue that doesn’t seem to improve is that she likes to run and not come back when called. She’ll eventually come back, but not until she’s had her fun...this can take hours.

Her family moved to an urban environment from a rural environment, and Lily had a near brush with death when she jumped out of her parked car when her mom opened the door, and ran down the street where a car narrowly missed her. Her mom called me after the incident, and with a very shaky voice, said that she feared Lily’s life was at risk.

We took Lily back and she’s happy running around the Sanctuary, although she will bolt out of the gate and has figured how to dig under the fence to get out and hunt rabbits. It’s her simple pleasure it seems. This girl is sweet, sweet, sweet and is a delightful, obedient girl unless she goes on one of her escapades...but she always comes back!

She'd be a great apartment dog where she gets a chance to frequent a fenced dog park for running exercise, or go jogging on-leash with someone. Another potential scenario for her would be a big ranch without fencing WAY off the beaten path.

When she's done hunting and investigating, she parks it in the Sanctuary driveway just outside the gate. She hangs around and is an awesome ranch dog. She can't live in suburbia or and urban environment where she could bolt out the door and get into the street. She's fond of all people and small children, too! Fostered in Grass Valley. No cats.

Jack NCAR #398
Jack is a calm, timid, 5-6 year old Aussie boy with his long fluffy tail. He was so traumatized in the shelter that he had to be lifted out of his kennel and taken into the play yard for evaluation. He has only one functional eye. As we hoped, he's warmed up considerably and is doing well in foster care. He wants to be with his person. He will scale a 5 foot wooden fence if he's scared, but hasn't done that since he was first brought into rescue.

Jack is completely docile and loving. He loves to play with nice dogs and LOVES to swim! He is happy going on leash walks and is very good off leash, too.

He is a jewel at the vet and is a perfect gentleman. Jack graduated from a 10 week obedience class. He will need a patient person who give him plenty of time to bond as he's glued to his "person." This is a mellow boy who lives nicely with cats and needs a playful doggy companion. He's too timid for a family with children. Great with cats. Fostered in Grass Valley.

Dutch NCAR #339 Puppy Mill Aussie


Dutch and Dave7/19/08 watching the fire across the valley…she’s come a long way, and actually seeks pets from Dave now.
Dutch is a 6 year old, small black tri. She gave birth just before the last raid at the puppy mill. We rescued her in 9/06. She's about 38 lbs. and quick as lightning when you throw the tennis ball or Frisbee! We were told she's a good working Aussie, but we haven't seen her around livestock. She's extremely sweet and loving around me, and avoids strangers and will bark and make large circles if not on a leash. On leash, she's quiet and will tolerate being amongst strangers. She needs (as all the timid puppy mill dogs) is someone who will be a leader and let her know that she's safe.

She jumps straight up in the air when she's excited and plays fetch like a pro.....she's really, really fast! She has learned to trust me, and is very devoted, so she will bond to someone else. Dutch is not a family dog. As most of the puppy mill Aussies, she crates easily and gets along with other dogs. Fostered in Grass Valley. Contact: Kim at kim@norcalaussierescue.com

Mixes
Fuji
Fuji is a 2-3 year old, male, terrier cross who weighs about 18 lbs. He was living in a field in the South Sacramento area for several months but was too afraid of people to allow anyone to get close enough to catch him. After several storms Fuji was too exhausted too run any longer and finally laid down on a strangers porch and waited for someone to come help him. Fuji was found with a surgical rod screwed into his elbow and poking out of his front left wrist. The injury was not only painful but also seriously infected. Veterinarians weren’t sure if Fuji would regain use of his leg again and he was sent in to surgery hoping for the best.
Now that the surgical rod has been removed from Fuji’s leg he is a happy, spunky little guy who loves people. Despite all the pain that Fuji has been through all he really wants to do is cuddle on the couch with you. Luckily, Fuji is learning to put weight on his leg again and is even using to walk once in a while. He is very dog friendly, coexisting nicely with 3 large dogs and initiating play every chance he gets. He is a smart little dog, having adjusted nicely to crate training and starting to learn basic obedience commands. Fuji is easily excited and probably shouldn’t live with cats. Fostered in Sacramento.

Cheyenne NCAR #
We rescued Cheyenne and 4 of her puppies in 2008. We believe Cheyenne to be a Catahoula mix. We found homes for the puppies and Cheyenne.

Cheyenne was living peacefully with two cats in her home, but chased a neighbor's cat and actually held it down with her mouth. Because the neighbor's cat is always roaming around, Cheyenne's family was worried and returned her to us.

Cheyenne is great with other dogs, children and people. She's loving and sweet and about 40 pounds. Fostered in Folsom. Contact: Kim at kim@norcalaussierescue.com

LANA

Lana is a cuddle-bug! She loves everyone and snuggles up right next to whomever is next to her...be it person or dog! She loves to sleep curled up against me and sometimes stays under the covers. She is also crate-trained...what a plus, especially for travel!

She likes car rides and going on hikes. She greets visitors nicely and often wants to get into their laps.

She is intolerant of toddlers who want to hug and squeeze her, and also a bit cat aggressive. She gets along with all the dogs at the Sanctuary, plays with toys and actually fetches! This is an entertaining and loving little 8 pound pocket girl. She is currently taking a low dose of prednisone for back pain and it works well.
Fostered in Grass Valley.

Linus, NCAR #209

Linus is a happy, four year old Red Queensland Heeler/Aussie mix. His Mom had a stroke and can't take care of him any longer, so one of our foster homes took him in. He's a big boy, but losing weight and is now 65 lbs. He is living with four other dog friends.

Other dogs and cats don't bother him, but he is shy with strange people, though he's getting better. He likes squeeky toys and playing fetch and knows SIT and DOWN and STAY. He's housebroken and uses the doggie door to go outside.

He'd do best in an adult home with strong leadership. He was coddled a lot with his first owner! He talks a lot when being handled....almost a growl, and doesn't like his collar grabbed. His foster dad is taking him to the dog park for fun and plays fetch with him as much as possible because Linus LOVES it! Linus smiles when his Dad comes home!
