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 her on the website and crosspost 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, http://www.badrap.org/re-homing-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.

Leroy Owner Available

December 3, 2022

Please contact Patrick via email at clearpat@gmail.com if interested in Leroy. Leroy is a handsome Border collie mix who we adopted in January as a potential playmate for our McNab. Unfortunately, our McNab and he are engaged in an alpha struggle, and we have made the difficult decision to rehome him. He is estimated by the vet to be 3-4 years old, +/- 55lbs, current on all shots, and healthy and happy. He is extremely smart and very motivated, so he's easy to train, and knows all his basic commands.

TACO Owner Available

November 24, 2022

If interested in TACO, please contact Cindy at cindychou924@gmail.com. I am a 7.5 month old Border Collie mix neutered male, all vaccinations current. I was originally a stray and picked up by my current owners from a shelter. In just 9 days, I was able to learn sit, lay down shake hand, and (get/give) ball. I love to chase after balls, squeaky toys, and play tug of war. Very friendly and playful with SOME dogs only. If a dog is friendly I respond very well. If a dog approaches and is tense or growls/barks, I will go in defense mode and bark/howl/lunge back.I do not like when strangers reach out to pet me, but I love to be petted by my own family. I also hate being pulled by my collar or pulled from under my armpits- I will nip you to warn you! The biggest thing I need to work on is not jumping on people and to come when called.

ELI Owner Available

October 16, 2022

If interested in ELI please contact Anna via email at annatvasquez@hotmail.com. Our sweet boy, Eli, is the sweetest and smartest dog we’ve ever met. He enjoys playing soccer and fetch just as much as he likes scratches under his chin and around his ears. He is so fast and jumps very high when fetching. And, there isn’t a soccer ball that he can’t steal from an opponent. He is so playful that we sometimes find him tossing the ball with his mouth and chasing it around the patio. He’s done well with obedience training learning how to sit, stay, fetch and “leave it”. We are learning to manage some reactivity with “heel” and a prong collar while on walks.

BAYLEA_Owner

October 10, 2022

If interested in BAYLEA please contact Will via email at will.singer86@gmail.com. Baylea is a very fun and well-trained dog. Some of the commands she knows are: sit, stay, down, come, place, shake, beg, high-five. She is incredibly smart and would love to learn more tricks. She is also crate trained, house trained, great on leash, muzzle trained, and treadmill trained. Baylea is extremely athletic and loves going on hikes and practicing agility whether jumping up on a park bench during a walk or running through an at home agility course. Baylea loves puzzles and a great way to give her a mental challenge is scent work. She is highly food motivated and will quickly find any toy with a treat in it so you will have to get creative with your hiding spot.

RILEY OWNER AVAILABLE

September 15, 2022

If interested in RILEY please contact Blair via email at blairkboudreaux@gmail.com. If interested in RILEY please contact Blair via email at blairkboudreaux@gmail.com. Hi, I’m Riley! I’m 9 years old, but you’d never guess it. I’m healthy and still full of energy! I’ve been with my current family for 3 years. Before that I was with a family that was never home, which made me sad because I like a lot of attention, cuddles, fetch time and walks! My current family loves me very much, but they just had a baby, and I’m not dealing with it very well. I would do best in a child-free home, although I do fine when kids visit me. I’m great with other dogs (I even live with another one!), and I’m extremely friendly to every human I met. If you have the time to give me exercise and affection every day, I’m your guy!

ROSIE OWNER AVAILABLE

August 21, 2022

If interested in ROSIE please contact Rick and Heather via email at xrodeo29@yahoo.com. My name is Rosie. I am a 4 yr. old spay lavender Border Collie looking for a forever home. You will always have a companion for car rides, walks and family fun. I am very social with people and other dogs but am not good left alone with cats. I really don't want to herd cattle, sheep or goats as it is just not my thing. I love helping with chores and enjoy being outdoors but I will chase off wildlife and cats. I stay away from skunks as much as possible. Never got into chasing balls but will play with one on my own every so often. Give me a squeaky or stuffie and I will dismantle it for you. Love being in the house and always choose the coolest place to sleep. My coat is very thick and since I get so hot I go to the beauty parlor every couple of months in the summer to get clipped. It makes a huge difference in my comfort level. I am house broke, sleep in the bedroom and a good watch dog. I am chipped, on heartworm prevention and have had my shots. I need a home where we do a lot of outside activities such as lots of long walks, hiking, going to the snow or the beach, etc.

GARISOL

July 17, 2022

If interested in GARISOL please contact Samantha via email at snm383@humboldt.edu Hi, this is Girasol “Sunflower”. She is about a year and 3 months old. She is a very active border collie who needs a lot of attention and patience, as she is reactive. When she was about 3 months old, an older dog charged towards her, causing her to be very wary and fearful of other dogs. She is also very protective and does not like new people as much, as it causes her anxiety. I have worked with trainers in the past to help with her feelings of anxiety around other dogs and people. She definitely needs to have a solid routine with someone who can be consistent with her in regards to her needs and future training in becoming social with others.
