July 2024 - Northern California Border Collie Rescue & Adoptions

ADOPTED – APOLLO

July 25, 2024

Apollo has been a joy to foster over the past few weeks. Apollo loves people and does great when there are visitors at the house. He also plays well with the 3 other dogs at his foster home and is fine sharing food or toys. He sits to receive pets and is quickly learning multiple commands such as “wait,” "sit," “crate,” “come,” and “get back." He walks well on a leash most of the time, but can become distracted, so he will need some additional work on leash training. He is sometimes overstimulated by small dogs and would do best in a home without small dogs. He is interested in cats, but can be easily redirected so he would likely be OK with dog savvy cats. Apollo has shown some interest in balls and toys but is more interested in playing with his dog pals, swimming or interacting with his person.

KAMMIE AVAILABLE

July 22, 2024

Meet lovely KAMMIE. KAMMIE is a medium-rough coat, red and white border collie / Aussie mix, 2-3 years old. KAMMIE has medium to low drive, but her BC genes might become more pronounced with time as she’s had some adjusting to do. She is cautious around new people, especially men, but as time goes on, she warms up more quickly and becomes a love bug, giving kisses and begging for pets and attention. We’re considering KAMMIE a bit of a “special needs” foster as her new human(s) should expect a period of her developing comfort, confidence, and familiarity with her new environment. That said, KAMMIE has shown no signs of aggression, rarely barks, and will be a loving and loyal family member for the one who is patient to give her the time she needs to adjust and trust.

ADOPTED – PIRELLI

July 17, 2024

Meet our sweet girl, Pirelli. She is a 6-month-old 36#, BC/Aussie mix with very pretty tri-color markings, and a cute little bobbed tail. Pirelli came in as a stray who was picked up by animal control near a tire store with her 3 littermates, so they all got tire names: Pirelli, Toyo, Apollo and Firestone! Pirelli's favorite thing is her person. She wants to be near her person most of the time. A very close second favorite thing is her foster brothers and sisters. She gets along well with dogs of all sizes and loves to play and wrestle. She would do well with another dog also likes to play. She would also be fine as an only dog as long as she gets plenty of attention and exercise. Pirelli is a little bit curious about the cat in her foster home, but she does not chase and is respectful of the cat, so she would very likely be OK in a home with dog savvy cats.
