October 2020 - Northern California Border Collie Rescue & Adoptions

ADOPTED – BLUE

October 27, 2020

Meet our handsome boy BLUE! He is a 1 yr old smooth coat with beautiful blue-ish gray markings on his head and a soft coat. He is 48lbs and has a long lanky stride. BLUE's favorite things are to play with other dogs, play in the water or to lay quietly by your side. He gets along well with cats and pays them no mind. BLUE really loves the water and will run and play like a puppy.

Adopted – Teddy

October 24, 2020

Meet TEDDY, a sweet 1 ½ year old boy of 45 pounds with a beautiful rough coat and classic black & white markings. TEDDY is very social with people. He loves hugs, pets, giving kisses, and hanging near his people. TEDDY gets along well with his foster BC pack mates and shows high drive behavior. This includes play nipping, vocalizing when excited, and experiencing some anxiety with change (e.g. not with his human/dog pack, transitioning to a new home, etc.). His foster family has been using positive reinforcement, watching him improve every day.

ADOPTED – ETHEL

October 23, 2020

Introducing affectionate and gorgeous ETHEL, an approximately two-year-old red-tri smooth coat female. She is 18+ inches at the shoulders and weighs about 37 pounds. ETHEL has perfect recall either by whistle or calling her name. She is healthy and has been well-cared for. She does not wander off and prefers to stick close to her people and foster sisters. She rarely barks, and only does if she needs to catch your attention (“Please let me in!”). ETHEL is a playful and funny dog that lives for a good time.

Adopted – Sir Lawrence

October 22, 2020

SIR LAWRENCE, AKA Larry, AKA Big Red, is a 61 pound bundle of love. His deep red color with tiny bits of white makes him as handsome as he is polite. He is the distinguished gentleman of the group, approximately 8 years of age. He loves people, gets along well with his foster brother and sister and completely ignores our cat Leia. He will however chase outdoor cats if they run. Larry loves cuddling on the couch, being petted (his whole body squirms with joy) & doesn’t even mind baths because he thinks he’s getting petted!

Adopted – ACE

October 18, 2020

ACE is a loving, playful male tri-color smooth coat who weighs in at a whopping 30 lbs. He uses his slight frame to full advantage, quickly learning to slip through the posts of our gate leading to the back deck. ACE also holds his own playing with our foster Lawrence* (the red prominent in the pictures and video), who is double ACE’s weight. They spend a good part of their day wrestling and chasing each other around. ACE also gets along well with our girl Sissy and largely ignores the cat. *Note – Lawrence will be posted later this week.

ADOPTED Sadie

October 2, 2020

WOOF! A big hello from our lovely SADIE. She is a 4 year old, 40 lb. black and white rough coat female Border Collie. SADIE came to us a bit shy and quiet, she observed the other 5 Border Collies in in her foster home and worked at fitting in. Within a few days she was running with the other females and chasing the males....much to our amusement! She had found her place!

Adopted – Milo formerly Levias (Liv)

October 1, 2020

Meet MILO, a sweet 3 year old boy of 65 pounds with beautiful markings, ticking, and a medium rough coat. MILO is very social with people and loves to give hugs and kisses. Although he really can’t fit into a lap, he is very happy to try in order to be close to his human. MILO gets along well with his three foster BC packmates, and does show some herding (drive) behaviors when running and barking are involved.
