She catches your eye with ears that stand straight up, a tail that curls over her back, and 1.5 blue eyes! BAILEY is an incredibly intelligent girl and truly wants to please. She came to her fosters’ home with excellent manners. She is house trained, doesn’t jump up on people, and knows basic commands including sit, down, and come. Her recall especially is quite impressive. BAILEY is also crate-trained and spends the nights and her time alone in a wire kennel. She could benefit from some leash training as she does tend to pull.
ADOPTED – ADELINE

ADOPTED – Skittles’ Sweets & Treats Border Collie Mix Puppies
Mom SKITTLES (a BC Mix) came to us very big and very pregnant. A few days later, on September 18th, THE SWEETS & TREATS PUPPIES came into this world raring and ready to go. All four boys are adopted. They were Cracker Jack (CJ), Clark (Bar), Nougat, & Heath (Bar). Of the six girls, two remain available: Peppermint Patty & Sugar. ADOPTED were Marshmallow, Snickers, & Tootsie (Roll), Caramel. Clark is the biggest, clearing the rest by 2 plus pounds, and Tootsie is the smallest. All are quite adept at using the doggy door to both go out and come back in. The door leads to a secure patio deck where they go out to play and potty. Their potty training is going very well. During the day, and even overnight, they (mostly) venture out to do their business. The puppies are all eating out of individual bowls in a sectioned off pen. They are getting better at sitting prior to heading over from their living quarters to the food pen. They are a smart, active, polite group…especially considering the size of the litter. They are attentive, friendly, and love to be cradled and given belly rubs! SKITTLES (55 to 60 lbs.) will be spayed late November and be posted for adoption after healing. Now let me introduce her babies:
ADOPTED – ALLIE
ADOPTED – Little Allie girl is a 15lb, 4m old BC mix puppy with a smooth easy care coat. Her favorite thing is her person and she will follow you around the house, wiggling with joy every time you look her way. She has a super sweet, affectionate personality. Allie loves other dogs and will gladly engage in a game of wrestling and gnawing on each other. She is respectful of the older dogs at her foster and will leave them alone if they don't want to play. Allie is pretty good with cats and mostly just wants to play with them, but she can be a little over zealous in her play so any home with cats would have to be very dog savvy cats.
ADOPTED – BRODY
ADOPTED – Let us introduce Mr. BRODY! BRODY is a fun-loving 35-pound ball of energy with a beautiful rough coat. BRODY is petite in size and approximately 10 months old so he’s done growing. He is the perfect size! BRODY is crate trained and easy to live with in the house. He’s cooperative to do what the humans ask. He loves all toys and laying down to chew a bone during evening hours.
ADOPTED – CEMI (See’Me)
ADOPTED - Meet CEMI (See’ Me), a 50-pound 4-year-old rough coat boy with classic black and white markings. CEMI is kind, happy and smart, a ‘velcro’ dog who wants to be with his owner all the time. He may do very well as an only dog. CEMI has classic BC personality traits such as reacting to crazy energy (in his foster dog pack) and watching for squirrels. It is said that he reacts to livestock, so a home without horses or cattle, may be in order. CEMI has not been tested with cats.
Adopted – Mr. Tibbs
Adopted - Adoption Pending - Mr. Tibbs (Tibbs) is a 10 month old border collie mix. He can be shy at first with new people and new dogs but warms up quickly. He loves wrestling with his foster brother & sister and would do best in a home with another young and/or playful & energetic dog.
ADOPTED – OZZIE
ADOPTED – OZZIE is a Border collie / Australian Shepard cross with a beautiful, smooth, Tri-colored coat. He weighs 49.5 pounds and stands 24 inches at the shoulder. Ozzie is estimated to be one to be two-years-old. Ozzie is a beautiful, tall, well-balanced boy with brown eyes and an extremely sweet personality.
ADOPTED – SADIE
ADOPTED – Say hello to our sweet SADIE girl. She is 1 year old BC/Aussie mix with a super soft, tri color, medium length coat. She is about 40lbs and has the most beautiful fluffy tail. Her marking are quite stunning! Sadie's favorite thing is split between her person and other dogs. She will follow her foster mom around the house, but when it's play time or the other dogs in the house get excited about something she is right there ready to go.
ADOPTED – JOLENE
JOLENE (JO)
Meet JO, a 34-pound 1 ½ -year-old smooth coat girl with classic black and white markings. JO has beautiful standup ears in her foster family’s eyes and looks like a McNabb.
ADOPTED – FRANKIE
ADOPTED – FRANKIE is a 34lb, smooth coat male BC who is about 1yr old. His favorite thing is his person and he will follow you around the house and lay nearby. He will also get up on the couch and lay next to you and will even cuddle if encouraged. FRANKIE loves other dogs and gets along well with his pack mates in foster. He would do well in a home with or without other dogs. He would enjoy the company of another playful dog, but would also be happy to get all the attention. He is submissive with other dogs so any other dogs in the household would have to be OK with that. FRANKIE leaves the cats in his foster home alone and would be fine in a household with dog savvy cats. He does not seem too ball motivated, but that could change. He loves to shred plush toys! He is still a young boy and will chew things, like socks or shoes, if given the opportunity. A little puppy proofing and some chew toys and he is a happy camper.
ADOPTED – ZIGGY
ADOPTED – ZIGGY is a 4 ½ month young puppy with a soft medium coat who weighs in at 22 lbs. ZIGGY, aka Zig Zag, Ziggles, or just plain old Zig, loves people and loves other dogs. Zig loves to be petted, whether its belly rubs on the couch or running over to sit wherever we happen to be. He will jump up on people if he is not being given the attention he feels he deserves, but he is so light and gentle that, at this stage, it is not a big problem. None the less we are discouraging that behavior. ZIGGY will need plenty of bones and toys as his big boy teeth replace those baby teeth. He is easy to redirect to toys if he should be chewing on something undesirable. ZIG does understand “no” but will give you that “who, me?” look. It’s adorable, trust me. He is starting to get “sit” on command and is more praise than treat motivated so training should be lots of fun and very rewarding.
ADOPTED – DANE
ADOPTED – DANE is a rough-coated border collie, currently weighing 42 pounds and standing 24” inches at the shoulder. He is under one-year-old and has been neutered. Dane is a beautiful, tall, well-balanced boy with light green inquisitive eyes. He is true black and white with no dilution spots. Dane has black freckles on his nose. DANE is fun, energetic, and very curious. He loves to explore the yard on his own, and mostly stays close by his humans when outside. Dane is both agile and athletic but has a puppy clumsiness.
ADOPTED – WOODY
ADOPTED – Woody is a handsome, tri-colored boy who loves adventure! (He tries not to brag about his good looks.) Right now his ears are only part-way up, but we bet he's going to have beautiful upright ears when he's done teething. Give Woody time to finish his puppy shots & he'll be ready to go on adventures with you like hiking or running through tunnels & over obstacles, just to see if you can catch up with him. He also likes to use his nose to guide him, so he might like to learn to use his nose to find things you want him to find. Smart as a whip, Woody would like to learn anything you'd like to teach him. And when all the adventure & play & learning new things are over, Woody likes cuddle time on the couch, & might even like to fall asleep next to you--well, after he's potty-trained, of course. Woody is treat & toy-motivated, but he's not picky. He eagerly plays with chew toys, soft toys, squeaky toys, bones, balls, & Frisbees. And as far as treats go, he's happy with a piece of his kibble. All his foster mom has to do is make a couple of "click" sounds, & he comes running for a piece of his kibble.
BOLT
? ? 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 – SAM
ADOPTED – SAM is as affable a guy as The Sam Malone of Cheers fame. He wants everyone to be happy with him & thrives on positive reinforcement. It's easy to be happy with Sam because he truly is such a good boy. Sam likes to try new things & join in the fun with his littermates & the other dogs in his foster home. And did we mention cute? Sam has soft eyes & a beautiful black & white, easy-to-care-coat. He also has a "thumbprint" on the top of his head. Some dog lovers call this "the lucky thumbprint" & others call it "the mark of wisdom." We say whoever adopts him will be wise & lucky! Like his siblings, Sam loves to play with toys & with people & other dogs. He would do well in a home with another dog, but would be happy as an only dog, soaking up all the love & attention. He's easy-going that way. Sam is a bright, inquisitive boy, who will enjoy learning new things, & enjoying the treats & play-rewards that come along with all of that. If you're looking for a devoted, fun-loving friend to pal around with & to simply hang out afterwards, our Sam just might be the best puppy sidekick you could ask for.
ADOPTED – LILITH
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.
