"They always seemed to pass me by,
I never knew the reason why.
All my friends had found a home,
And only I remained alone.
But finally, somebody came,
And spoke to me with a gentle tone.
I hardly dared believe it true,
Into my human's arms, I flew.
Our first embrace - my heart beat fast,
A family of my own at last!
And when tonight I rest my head,
In my new warm and cozy bed.
A prayer I'll send, high up above,
May all the shelter pups find love."

Location: Roseville, CA - we are willing to transport her! Contact: [email protected]

-Training: house trained, crate trained, obedience, loose leash walking, scent training, lure training, agility

-Needs a home with: no other pets, mature kids 12+ only

-Reason for rehoming: new full time/military work schedules don't give her enough exercise and attention, she spends 8-10 hours a day in a crate and she deserves a family that can give her more than that! She is also not getting along w other pets.

Baylea is a happy, wiggly, fun-loving girl! Not only is she sure to make you laugh with her goofy enthusiasm, but she is sure to impress you with her outstanding training skills! She easily knows sit, down, stay, place, shake, beg and high-five, plus she'll knock out an agility course, play tug, fetch, or find-it with treats and toys no problem! She is also experienced with scent training and lure training. She is also treadmill trained and we are happy to give you her treadmill as well, she's used to walking on it up to an hour a day. After play time is over she's just as happy to relax next to you for movie night or rest in her crate. Because she has been a bossy girl, and she just wants her favorite humans all to herself, we recommend she be the only pet in the home. But she loves people and she's definitely more than enough fun for any family looking for the perfect companion to join on walks, runs, hikes, bikes and other adventures, especially since she'll walk right by your side on a leash - no crazy pulling or jumping! And no need to worry about her getting into things or having accidents - she's 100% house and crate trained and is so eager to please. She'll do best with an active adult family or one with calm older/teenage kids. She is spayed, up to date on shots, and takes no medication and is overall very healthy. She eats dry food once a day and happily sleeps/rests in her crate at night and during the day when we're not home.

Super nice male bordercollie is now at the Lancaster shelter. impound # 5516610. This boy was jumping into someone’s yard going over a 4 foot fence to seek refuge. He’s very thin because he’s been living in the desert hunting and has tape worms but the shelter will take care of that. The people brought him to my house so I could scan him he has no microchip that I could find . he shows proper doggy etiquette with intact males and altered dogs . He ignores cats and he ignores horses and knows how to jump up to get a drink from a water trough so most likely he was somebody’s neglected ranch dog. He had some heavy matting behind his ears and on his tail with a piece of wire stuck in his tail along with some yucky stuff on his rear end so I clipped all of that out to make him more comfortable. He seem to have medium drive not crazy intense like most border collies and seems very chill at this point. If one tries to muzzle him he will react in a negative way most likely because he had to defend himself. This boy just needs some time patience and positive motivation training to build confidence with his new humans. He will make a fabulous dog. He is not affected by cars or noises that we can tell rides nicely in the car although takes a little coaxing to get him in the car and super friendly. He is a border collie so he’s not for most people. hHe needs somebody who is active and is willing to put the time and effort into positive training not forced training choke chains and prong collars. This boy has 7 to 10 days before he can be adopted so if you’re interested go and meet him and put yourself on the list for commitment to adopt. If you need help training him just contact me with PAWSITive Performance Holistic Consultants /Training and Behavior I can help you out with this dog. If this is your breed of dog then you won't be disappointed.

Does your life have a 100 lb German Shepherd shaped hole in it?

Meet Mia!

Mia is 5 years old, spayed, and up to date on her vaccinations. She knows basic commands, walks well on leash, loves playing ball in the yard, and most of all just wants to spend time hanging out with her person. For most of her life she had that person, and went everywhere with him. Sadly, Mia's person passed away unexpectedly.

Nobody from the extended family is able to keep her, as much as they would like to. She is being boarded with a trainer right now, so she is getting good enrichment, but obviously they are looking for the right forever home for her.

She has never lived with any other animals, so would probably be a best fit in a home where she was the only pet, but the trainer does believe she might do okay with another chill (most likely male) dog in the house, with appropriate pre-adoption introductions of course. She does well with people, but has never been around toddlers or infants.

Mia will not be placed with just anyone, the family will continue to pay for her to stay with the trainer until they find the right home for her. The trainer is located near Thousand Oaks, CA in Ventura County and meet and greets will occur there.

Adoption fee applies.

THIS IS A COURTESY POSTING FOR A DOG STILL LIVING IN HIS OWNER (CAREGIVER'S) HOME. PLEASE USE THE CONTACT EMAILS LISTED AT THE END OF THIS POST IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING HIM.
SONNY IS A 9 YEAR OLD NEUTERED MALE WHO DESPERATELY NEEDS TO FIND A NEW HOME IN THE NEXT WEEK.
Sonny has lived most of his life with one owner. Born 8/16/2012, about 9 and a half year’s old 60 lbs and neutered. Sonny is running out of time as he needs to be rehomed next week. His owner, my uncle passed away Nov 2021. My uncle’s roommate has been caring for him for these last several months. There’s a medical history and file, he’s healthy and will receive his rabies vaccine before he leaves for a new home. No chip.
Sonny has been with my uncle since about 8/16/2013. When he wasn’t out in the yard, he was at my uncle’s side. He’s house trained. Not the best on leash as he drives the walk, but Sonny was walked 3 times a day when my uncle was well and stronger. He’s shy but doesn’t go after people. Sonny likes his space, and a home with children is probably not a fit.
Sonny is looking for a quiet home, where he can go out in a yard during the day and run, coming into the house at night to sleep. Sonny did become sad after my uncle died but bonded with his roommate. He will most certainly bond with a new owner that cares for him. At one time during Sonny’s life there was another dog, who passed away. It’s been about 4 years since that dog passed. He’s never been around cats. We are hoping to find him a home soon. He’s in Southern California and I live in the SF Bay Area. I will transport him to a new home. My girlfriend is in cat rescue and we have our own cats plus 3 foster cats. Yard isn’t fenced. Moving into my home isn’t an option.
If interested in SONNY please contact Paul via email at [email protected], or [email protected]

More updates!

Dear Bobbie,

We hope you are well. It's time for Bellini's birthday, and our annual update. Our handsome boy turns 13 this year. Earlier this year, he was diagnosed with osteoarthritis, and without medication has difficulty getting up and traversing stairs. We now live in a two story house, with bedrooms upstairs; we chose an historic house which includes a small elevator. Bellini and his siblings love taking the elevator, several times per day.

Bellini is sometimes a grumpy old man, but he is happy, and experiencing little pain. He still loves to chase tennis balls, but his Frisbee days are long gone.

Bellini's sister Aria, loves him very much, and has been a wonderful life companion. She turns 11 this year, and has few health concerns. After losing our basketcase rescue, Santiago, we rescued a two year old BC boy from a family on Craig's List. He was originally acquired from a farmer, who docked his tail. Indy's family had no time for him, and kept him in their garage. The result is a boy who has difficulty dealing with the outside world. He barks at anything "new", and is a terror outdoors on leash. He is extremel afectionate, and we're working on his outside manners.

A couple of months ago, Kim witnessed a dog being abandoned on our street (107 degrees). We contated the owner associated with the microchip, who had given the dog to a friend. This was a handsome, two year old, purebred Siberian Husky; abandoned after comforting his owners during the pandemic. His situation was sad, but Toby was a wonderful, almost perfect boy. We found him space at Norsled, a sleddog rescue in the bay area. He was eventually fostered by an active couple, who recently lost their loving Husky. Of course, they fell in love with Toby, and adopted him after a couple of weeks.

Honestly, we also had fallen in love with him; and regretted giving him up, despite already having a full house. Toby came fully house trained, was great on leash, and never barked. Most endearing, he loved our dogs. It's hard to break up a happy pack!

We now live close to National Parks, Yosemite, Sequoia, etc. The dogs got their first snow experience last month. They were so excited, and curious. It was a great day!

We actually keep our eyes out for a lifetime companion for Indy. He is really happy now, but will be lonely after losing his older siblings. These wonderful dogs have meant so much to us. Thank you for supporting us, and all the things you do for the breed.

With much affection,
Eduardo, Kim, Bellini, Aria, and Indy
Fresno, C

Riggs Update!
Another year loving our dog Riggs (Dexter fostered by Bobbie). He is nine years old and doing well. He had a hematoma on his ear last month and it was drained and is looking good except bald ear……It just popped up, we don’t know what caused it. Riggs is doing well, and he has a slight heart murmur so we are going to do an Echograph in a couple months.

Hope this finds Bobbie and that the rescue is still operating.

Bailey has found his forever home and wants to thanks everyone for their assistance

Luxi is a 3 1/2 year old McNab Collie. She is very smart, energetic, well-trained and affectionate to her owners. She is vaccinated, microchipped, and is spayed. She is looking for a home with an active person who likes to take their dog on hikes and long walks. Luxi has hike over 140 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail, in addition to other trails. She is well-trained with a good "understanding" vocabulary. She will play for hours. She has strong herding instincts. She is very suspicious of new people but becomes very loyal once she knows them. She is an excellent watchdog for a running woman (or man) who is looking for companionship and protection. She will send out a strong warning bark to anyone on a trail who may be hiding behind a tree or doing something alarming. We are traveling up and down the West Coast over the next two weeks. Let me know if you know of anyone who would like to meet her.
