ADOPTED - Meet BUDDY a sweet 2-year-old beautifully marked boy looking for a loving home. BUDDY weighs 52 pounds and has a red/brown and white medium coat and a beautiful full tail. BUDDY is a shy dog when first meeting people and may vocalize out of fear (but shows no aggression). He does well with a proper introduction. His foster family is helping him learn/build good relationships by giving him positive experiences with strangers. BUDDY does great with routine and predictability.

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 - 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 – 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 – 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.

? ? 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.
