ADOPTED JAGGER

September 26, 2024

JAGGER is a darling 19-pound 4-month-old Queensland Heeler puppy who will steal your heart. Born at the end of May 2024, JAGGER is playful, sassy, athletic and a cuddlebug with his foster brother RIN. This is a puppy with lots of energy for fun and games, and maybe a little mischief! He is most happy when he can lead the pack in a game of chase, wrestle while RIN lies on the floor, or nap near your feet or with his buddies. JAGGER is very athletic, having no problem in jumping up on things that are much higher than him - the bed, the couch, and more! A fast learner, JAGGER will love to learn new things that will make him think as well as play & exercise.

Adopted RIN

September 25, 2024

Meet RIN, a 47 pound medium coat beautifully marked boy who is everyone’s friend and your adored companion. RIN is approximately 1.5 years old and has a playful, joyful personality. He is very social and loves to play with other dogs, running and leaping about the yard in a good game of tag, or gently wrestling with a dog buddy on the floor or the couch.

ADOPTED – PRESLEY

September 24, 2024

PRESLEY and his brother Jagger, the Rock and Roll Boys, were found as strays, brought into the shelter by a Good Samaritan, and from there it was on to NCBCRA. They are 4 1/2 month old smooth coat black and white Border collie, Queensland Heeler mixes. PRESLEY (26 lbs.) will tell you he’s the better looking of the two, but Jagger will tell you the same story. All we can tell you for sure is that it was time the brothers led their own separate lives, so PRESLEY wound up coming to Tehama County, while Jagger is fostered in Placer County. They have really flourished apart, and now they are ready for their forever homes.

PERKINS AVAILABLE

September 18, 2024

Hi, my name is Perkins – just call me Perk - and I am about 7 1/2 years young. My Mom thinks I am a Border collie mixed with some type of guardian dog because I watch over my family and pack mates. I have notified them TWICE of rattlesnakes in our yard, barking loudly while keeping my pack mates at a safe distance away. Mom says I am a hero dog, as we have little kids and lots of dogs in our yard that need protection from dangers like that.

ADOPTED – FLY

September 17, 2024

Meet FLY girl. FLY is a four-year-old, 35lb border collie mix with a medium length coat. She has attentive ears and kind eyes that never leave sight of her person. Despite being on the shy side, FLY has never met a human she does not love. FLY has the quickest happy feet when bounding to greet her people and follows them absolutely everywhere. She will crawl up on your lap and melt into you for a pet. An ideal day for FLY looks a bit like this: a quick trip outside before breakfast, naps all day and short trips around the house to follow her people, maybe a jaunt outside, dinner, and a good sleep wherever she sees fit that night, whether that be her bed, your bed, or her crate.

In Memoriam SHEBA

September 14, 2024

???? IN MEMORIAM: SHEBA Adopted September 2015 – Passed 2024 ???? From SHEBA’s foster at time of posting 2015: Here is a beautiful red and white, rough coat female, three years old, ready for her new home. SHEBA is playful, fun and energetic. She is housebroken (not one accident in her foster home) and crates easily for daytime rest periods and for sleeping quietly throughout the night. She LOVES to ride in the car.....did we mention how much she loves to go for a drive? SHEBA has attached herself to her foster parents and likes to hang out with us. While very affectionate, she is not obnoxious or pushy for attention. She loves to be petted (always down for a tummy rub) and in return will give nose snuffles. She is quite the cuddle aficionado. While she fancies herself a lap dog, she's weighs about 55 pounds so discretion here is advised. From SHEBA’s Dad Chris: Sheba was loved by everyone she came into contact with. She was the door greeter, made sure everyone was good. Sheba loved going on car rides. She had the biggest smile on her face and she kept hitting you with her paw because she wanted you to hold her paw and she was thanking me for taking her on a ride. I moved out to Ohio, Sheba was in the front seat the whole time and she enjoyed that trip. When she got to her new house she was happy and felt at home and checked everything out. She got me up in the morning so she could go outside and be in the yard. When it rained or snowed she come in happy and would jump on the foot stool to get her spa treatment of being dried off. She was a cuddle bug and a love bug. She was very well loved. She did come back in a dream of mine and sat next to me and was happy with a big smile on her face and let me know she is with me always and that she is happy.

ADOPTED – KAI

September 3, 2024

Meet little 5 month old KAI who currently weighs in at 28lbs. He's a merle sable with the most gorgeous blue eyes. Kai has been in foster with a female Kelpie and has met many other dogs who he immediately loves. He's met children and thinks they are just grand. KAI is medium drive with exceptional trainability as he just wants to please. He'd do well in a family and would excel as a nice training prospect for any one of the numerous dog sports like Agility or Treibball. He walks great on leash and picks up commands like the brilliant puppy he is. He learned the tug game quickly and is willing to "give" when the tug item becomes still. Did I mention how much he wants to please?
