July 2022 - Northern California Border Collie Rescue & Adoptions

Adopted – FRANNY

July 27, 2022

Meet our sweet FRANNY girl. She is a 32lb, 10m old BC mix with a soft, medium coat and cute fluffy ears. FRANNY's favorite thing is her person. She will follow her foster mom around the house, then settle at her feet. She is a typical young girl who is still puppy-ish and will sometimes chew things that she should not given the chance. A little puppy proofing or limiting where she can go in the house is all she needs.

Adopted – Coco

July 26, 2022

COCO came to us a stray. The streets were not kind to COCO, she was sick, thin, and badly in need of dental care. But with Coco's strong determination to survive and a deep need to belong to someone, mixed with some excellent dentistry a bath, a persistent foster Mom and 4 pack mates, and the opportunity to slowly recover in an environment where she felt safe, secure, wanted, and lavished with lots of affection and kisses - COCO has blossomed into a beautiful bold happy little girl, running, and talking, playing and napping, chasing squirrels, watching the birds on the fence line, taking rides to and from, driving up and down the American River Parkway.

ADOPTED – AMY

July 20, 2022

ADOPTED - AMY is a darling 13 pound, 14-week-old Border collie/McNab mix girlie, with the slick, easy-care McNab coat, & the smarts & keen attention common to both breeds. She is a delightful, enthusiastic, social girl. Amy thinks it's all fun & would like someone to share fun with her. She loves tug toys, chew toys, & balls, & she loves any & all treats. So, she will work & learn for toys & treats. She loves playing tug & chasing the other dogs in her foster home as fast as she can possibly run!

ADOPTED – LEMON

July 19, 2022

ADOPTED - LEMON is a darling 6-7 month old Border Collie mix weighing in at roughly 40lbs and gaining! She has a long-haired, rough gold coat with minimal white and perfect collie ears. LEMON knows her name and has a decent recall, especially when a treat follows. She is very food-motivated and also responds well to “no.” She is a bit of a chewer, so must be watched closely or crated while alone. LEMON does not prefer, nor particularly enjoy her crate, but goes into her crate well with a small nudge and subsequently sleeps without complaints. She is potty trained, but she does not signal when she needs to go out, so needs frequent offerings.

ADOPTED – MARLIN

July 18, 2022

ADOPTED - MARLIN is 66 pounds of love bug. It’s pretty awesome when you get a dog big enough that you don’t have to bend over to pet him. He loves that he can be petted while walking alongside his person. MARLIN loves to run, play, walk, chase, be chased…any activity is a good activity when there is a person or another dog (dogs) around. The more the merrier, but humans are his favorite. The shelter put him at about 2 years, but he could be younger. His teeth are bright, bright, white, and his personality is much like a puppy. You will get a loving, gentle teddy bear of a boy if you take Marlin home with you. Not even the cats seem worried about him. He looks, he sniffs, but does not bother them.

ADOPTED – PENELOPE

July 16, 2022

ADOPTED - PENELOPE is a border collie cross weighing in at 30 pounds. She is under one-year-old and has been spayed. Penelope is a beautiful, well-balanced little girl with deep brown inquisitive eyes. Although she appears black and white in pictures, Penelope’s true color is dark chocolate brown with white accents and mahogany brown freckles on her nose. PENELOPE is fun, energetic, and very curious. She loves to explore the yard on her own, and mostly stays close by her humans when outside. Penelope is both agile and athletic. She will run and turn on a dime, then stop and look at you. If she hears no command, Penelope will continue to run and play on her own. On hot days, you will find Penelope lounging in the kiddy pool.
