Dogs By Owner

Due to limited resources, we are unable to accept owner surrender dogs into rescue at this time. Please email us at OwnerListings@norcalbcrescue.org should you need to rehome your dog. Owner posted dogs are required to be spayed or neutered. With all required information provided, we will post the dog on our website and cross-post on our Facebook page. Also review the exceptional information on re-homing your dog offered by the San Francisco based American Pit Bull Terrier rescue, https://badrap.org/how-help/rehoming-a-dog/

We understand the difficult decision these owners face and appreciate the effort they are making to find a suitable home for their dog. One advantage of obtaining a dog directly from its owner is much, if not all, of the dog’s history may be known.

Dogs are presented on this web page as a service and courtesy to their owners, but are not being made available for adoption through NCBCRA. We have not met these dogs and our understanding of them is limited to the information provided by their owner. Any rehoming fees are between owner and adopter. NCBCRA neither receives any fees nor intercedes in the adoption process. No fee has been required of owners to place their dogs on this web page though some owners may have provided a voluntary donation.

To enquire about a dog on this page, please contact the owner directly per the information in the post.

RUTHIE OWNER AVAILABLE

April 19, 2025
If interested in RUTHIE please contact Lydia via email at mushutoast@yahoo.com Ruthie 7 month old Border collie / Aussie mix. 26 lbs. Good with dogs, cats, and older kids.  Are you a morning person? Then Ruthie is your girl! She's ready to get up and watch sunrises with you. Ruthie gets along with dogs, but really wants a person to call her own. She loves cats, but maybe a little too much for some cats since she likes to lick their face and playfully chase sometimes. She is sweet and affectionate and would make a great buddy to go out and do things with. Ruthie does not want to be left alone at home for a traditional 8 hour work day and her future parents should plan on training classes or maybe even agility to keep up with her and keep her body and mind busy. She does well in a crate and walks curiously on leash but does not constantly pull.

MAX OWNER AVAILABLE

March 12, 2025
If interested in MAX please contact Gwendolyn via email at zoegwen2000@gmail.com  Max is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. He is located in Sacramento, CA, and is ready to meet the right adopter who can meet-adopt here. A home visit and vet reference are required to adopt. This handsome guy is Max. He needs a home because his person passed away. Max was born on December 27th, 2023. He weighs about 34 pounds. Max knows sit. He is working on “look at me” and is working on “drop it”. He is also house trained. Max is a loyal guy who feels more comfortable with women than men. Kind, fair men can get him to warm up. We think a home with kids would be too busy for Max. Max is best with smaller dogs, and dogs who aren’t rambunctious. As for his home life, he will be best as the only dog. As for cats, he lives with cats but wants to chase so it is probably best if he does not live with them.

ZELDA OWNER AVAILABLE

February 21, 2025
If interested in ZELDA please contact Judith via email at judyraftery@gmail.com Zelda is a sweet and loving 5 year old Border Collie we adopted from a rescue organization in Arizona as a puppy. She has the kind and gentle nature typical of her breed, making her a great companion. Zelda is intelligent and energetic, which is typical for a Border Collie, and she thrives in environments where she can engage in activities that challenge her mind and body. Despite her high energy, she's affectionate and enjoys spending time with people - and she loves a good tummy rub! She would probably be best as the only pet in a home as she is very protective. Zelda is good with our grandchildren when they visit so I believe she would be good with children in the household. Zelda is looking for a family or individual who can provide her with the care, attention, and exercise she needs to flourish in her new home. We live in Napa but would be willing to drive her to a new home in California.

ROCKY OWNER AVAILABLE

December 13, 2024
If interested in ROCKY please contact Joy via email at joymo.2007@gmail.com I appreciate your consideration. Our daughter is allergic to Rocky and we are no longer able to give care to our Border collie mix pup. Meet Rocky! He is a lovely boy who loves to play and go on long walks. He has great energy and gets along well with kids 7+ and other dogs. He hasn’t bonded well with our cats, but I think they are too fast and old to pay him any mind.  He would do well with an active family. Please reach out via email to set up a time to meet.
