🐶 🐕 BOLT ADOPTED 8/13/2022 Male 7 months Bolt’s casual meet and greet turned into an unexpected adoption. His new family could not leave without him – check out more photos and see the rest of our dogs on our website — https://norcalbcrescue.org/available-dogs/our-dogs/ 🐕 🐶

Meet 7-month-old Bolt, a gorgeous black & white rough-coated boy, whose coat is so soft to touch & beautiful to look at.  The best thing is that Bolt is as beautiful on the inside as he is on the outside.  He’s happy, social with humans & dogs, & he even leaves the cats in his foster home alone.  Bolt loves nothing more than following his foster dad around the property & surveying the scene.  Sometimes he breaks into a little leap & romp just to make sure you know he’s having a good time.  He is active, curious, & adventurous, but not over-the-top.

ADOPTED – LILITH is the princess of the litter. She has a gorgeous, soft, white & black coat that is a true delight to touch, & it’s a good thing. This little girl loves all kinds of attention, especially snuggling, cuddling, napping next to her foster mom or on her foster mom’s lap. Lilith seems to know that she’s pretty & that the world should be her oyster. That said, she is a benevolent princess & is happy to share attention with her siblings. She also shares her toys nicely. And beauty that she is, Lilith is not afraid to play & get her paws wet & dirty, as long as someone is standing by to clean her up when the fun is over. Lilith is both treat & toy-motivated, but she’s especially attention-motivated. Lilith has shown the most interest of all the puppies in watching the sheep in her foster home. She is silly, loving, gives kisses, & is the best tugger of the group. She could live happily with another dog in the home, but might really prefer to have all of the attention for herself.

ADOPTED – What a little darling DIANE is!  We can always find her in the pile of puppies because she has a beautiful black dot on her back.  Diane loves to play & rough-house with her brothers & sisters.  Her favorite game is to see who can run fastest in a game of chase, & Diane is often the winner of those races.  She doesn’t hold back.  A game of tug with another puppy is also super fun, so we have to say that Diane is something of a tom-boy.  That said, when it comes to interacting with the adult dogs in her foster home, she is nothing but sweet, giving lots of kisses to her aunts & uncles, as if to say: “Be nice to me.  I’m just a baby!”  So, she has a sweet, soft side, too.  Diane is very play, food, & toy-motivated, so she will be a blast to train.  While she loves to chase a ball & tug with her siblings, she’s still learning to “tug” with people & to bring a ball back once she’s chased it.  Not to worry, Diane is super smart, & she learns quickly.

ADOPTED – Say “hello” to PANCAKE, a 2-year-old former mama dog, whose beautiful puppies have all found their forever homes.  Now it’s Pancake’s turn to find her forever home.  Pancake’s favorite part of being a mom to her pups was the stage in which she could play with them.  It was as if she turned back into a puppy herself.  And we’ve seen that playful enthusiasm in her interactions with the other adult dogs & puppies in her foster home.  She is also very kind.  When another dog or puppy in her foster home seems unsure or in need of support & comfort, Pancake is right there to help.  When she was in the vet clinic for her spay, she checked in on the other dogs in the kennel, quietly “talking” with them & leaning toward them.  The whole hospital staff loved her.

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 – 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 – WILLOW is a beautiful white & black girl, with a soft coat–perfect for petting.  And Willow loves to be petted!  Willow loves to follow her foster parents as they work around their property; she is never far away.  She is friendly & affectionate, nuzzling her foster mom & dad’s hands, wrapping around them, & even sometimes jumping up simply to be closer.  She wiggles with joy when she sees her foster parents, & sometimes gives little kisses on their fingers.  This girlie is such a sweetheart!  She is even good with people she first meets.  And she is good at the groomer’s shop & veterinarian’s office.

ADOPTED – MEG is a darling 11 pound, 10-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 confident, enthusiastic, social girl.  She has a “bring it on” attitude & wants to do everything, sometimes all at once, which makes for some hilarious moments.  She wants to make sure that she doesn’t miss a thing.  Meg is rocket fast & already very agile for a pup; she is a capable climber & jumper.  Meg seems to want to have some kind of job. Sometimes she chooses to chase, crawl on, and steal toys from the older dogs in her foster home. They are mostly tolerant of her antics, & eventually she will leave them alone, finding a great time doing something else.  Meg thinks it’s all fun & can’t understand why everyone else isn’t joining in.  She loves tug toys, chew toys, sticks (although we discourage that for her safety), & she loves any & all treats.  So, she will work & learn for toys & treats.

ADOPTED – TOOTSIE is a 25#, 6-month-old spayed border collie mix, who has a lovely, gentle temperament.  She has a beautiful sleek coat.  Like her brother Sarge, she is active & playful. She particularly likes to play with her brother.  She might like a home with another playful dog.  She is friendly & social with people, but will offer an alert bark when someone she doesn’t know comes to call.  She is easy-going, & is a little bit on the soft side.  Tootsie likes to please & doesn’t like to think she’s made her human unhappy.
