ADOPTED – PASH

December 10, 2021
ADOPTED – Small but mighty, PASH & LIKER are very much alike.  Their foster mom calls them “The Twins.”  Not only do they look alike, but they have very similar personalities; fun-loving, silly, social, & confident.  There isn’t anything these two don’t like to try. “The Twins” love the agility play tunnel. Both of them really live running through and rolling it and will pretty much try anything. Mama Mercy’s pups were born around 10/1/21, & they are excited about finding their forever homes.  Mama weighs about 36 pounds.  We don’t know who the dad or dads are, so we are offering an educated guess on the pups’ adult sizes.  Mama Mercy (Last Photo) will be available for Adoption after her spay. We are not taking applications for her at this time.

ADOPTED – KIND

December 9, 2021
ADOPTED - KIND is the Leader of the Pack – He wants to please, takes positively to correction so should be fun to train. Like his siblings, KIND  is an active pup, and loves to cuddle.  All toys & games are on his list of favorite activities. He gives warm crazy kisses and likes to be talked to directly. Loves tug toys and is super sweet with me! Mama Mercy’s pups were born around 10/1/21, & they are excited about finding their forever homes.  Mama weighs about 36 pounds.  We don’t know who the dad or dads are, so we are offering an educated guess on the pups’ adult sizes.  Mama Mercy (last Photo) will be available for Adoption after her spay.

ADOPTED – HELPER

December 9, 2021
ADOPTED - HELPER is a very interactive pup. He loves being with me and exploring things I'm trying to work on, and is the big boy of the group at 11 pounds. His siblings can lay on him, pull his tail, bite his ears and tease him and he is ok with everything and enjoys the attention. Although he interacts great with all the other dogs (adults included) his choice would to be with me. HELPER is very food-motivated, which will be great for training.  His favorite activities are to run & play & chew toys (or anything else left where he can get it).

ADOPTED – DEAR

December 9, 2021
ADOPTED - DEAR is a sweet girlie.  Like her siblings, she likes to tug & to play with balls & stuffed toys (stuffing removed), but she is also a contented puppy. When you talk to her she will wave at you with her right front leg. DEAR’s favorite thing is to give you lots of sweet smelling puppy kisses with no bites. Chew toys are becoming very much popular with her!!!

ADOPTED – GORDY

December 7, 2021
Meet GORDY! This sweet boy is so excited for his new adventure.  He greets everyone he meets with enthusiastic tail wags and a whole body wiggle that will melt your heart! He’s still a little on the shy side though and has a tendency to do a kind of submissive belly crawl when he encounters new situations, but he embraces every new situation and everyone he meets with a happy demeanor.

ADOPTED – JOSIE

December 3, 2021
ADOPTED - JOSIE is an energetic 8-year-old girl of about 40#.  Everyone who meets her loves her.  She is friendly and social with everyone she meets, and has gotten along just fine with the dogs in her foster home; we can't say how she is with cats.  She loves to play and romp, but she settles nicely, happy to curl up in her bed with a bone or chewy toy.  She is not over-the-top like some border collies and has an off-switch.  JOSIE is very treat-motivated and loves toys, so they can both be used to motivate her in training.
https://norcalbcrescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Josie-5-scaled.jpg 2560 1827 Lewis Beitz https://norcalbcrescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/ncbcra-logo.png Lewis Beitz2021-12-03 17:12:102021-12-11 22:59:24ADOPTED – JOSIE

ADOPTED – KESTREL

December 3, 2021
ADOPTED - Kestrel is a gorgeous young girl on the inside as well as the outside; we estimate her age to be about 1-to-2-years-old.  She is social with people and other dogs, happy to greet everyone she meets.  She loves toys--tugs, balls, chew toys, etc., and she especially loves to play with toys with her person.  So, toys will be great motivators for her in training.  She likes treats, too, but she likes yummy and somewhat higher end treats, and then you'll have her full attention--string cheese, small chewy treats, liver treats, etc.; no biscuit-style treats or Charlie Bear treats for this princess.  She responds very well to the treats she likes, so again, yummy treats will be good motivators for training.  At about 45#, Kestrel is very athletic, agile, and energetic, and loves nothing more than doing things with her person.  So, she will probably thrive in a home where she gets to learn fun things like dogs sports: agility, flyball, nosework, etc.  Leash walks are probably not going to be enough for this girlie.  She will do best in a home where she gets to spend a lot of time with her person.

Mama Mercy’s Puppies

November 28, 2021
Mama Mercy’s 7 pups are a few days past 8-weeks-old (born around 10/1/21), & they are excited about finding their forever homes.  Their average weight is 7 pounds, so we predict that they will be medium-sized dogs as adults.  Mama weighs about 36 pounds.  We don’t know who the dad or dads are, so we are offering an educated guess on the pups’ adult sizes.  Mama Mercy (Photo 5) will be available for Adoption after her spay. We are not taking applications for her at this time.

ADOPTED – ASH

November 27, 2021
ADOPTED - ASH (52 pounds of Border collie / Great Pyrenees) has been put on this earth to be petted. She gets petted when she sits, while we are walking, and when we cuddle up on the couch. When I stop she gives me that soulful look with those big brown eyes and the petting continues. Because she has such long legs I don’t even need to bend over to pet her, unless of course when she wants belly rubs. And she LOVES belly rubs! ASH lets us know when anyone is approaching the yard, comes to the door or enters the house. As she tells me, “It’s my job to protect my home and surroundings.”

Adopted – Cooper

November 7, 2021
Say hello to our sweet little COOPER, a 1yr old BC mix. He is a great size at 25lbs and has a creamy white smooth coat with a 1/3 cropped tail. COOPER is a soft boy who loves his people, other dogs and cats alike. He gets along great with everyone and would be happiest in a home with other dogs and cats. He really loves the cats in his foster home. During the day he plays with them (gently) and cuddles with them in the evenings on the couch. His foster mom has never seen a dog who loves cats so much. He also loves to play and wrestle with the other dogs as well.

ADOPTED – ROSCOE

October 27, 2021
ROSCOE is a 6-month-old, 40 pound ball of energy, who love tummy rubs, laying at his person’s feet, and cuddling.  He settles down to enjoy close times with his people after vigorous play sessions, training games, and runs.  His recall is good and getting better every day.  Even though Roscoe is a wild-and-wooly guy, he has some training under his belt—sit, look, stay, place, etc.—and he will do anything for food.  He is crate-trained and housebroken, and he travels really well in a vehicle (in a crate).  He is learning to walk nicely on a leash, wearing a harness, at this point in areas where he doesn’t experience lots of distraction like other dogs, squirrels, etc.  Anything that moves gets Roscoe over-the-top excited, but with treats and redirection, he is learning to keeps his wits about him.

ADOPTED – CARL

October 16, 2021
Meet CARL (Carl’s Junior), a 5-month-old, 25# pup, who came into rescue with his brother Bob (Bob’s Big Boy).  Carl is a beautiful black & white smooth-coated border collie/McNab mix puppy, who is not just a pretty face.  Carl’s foster mom says he is the most loving, sweetest puppy she has ever fostered!  His favorite resting place is on his foster’s mom’s chest with his head wrapped around her neck!

ADOPTED – BOB

October 16, 2021
Meet BOB (Bob’s Big Boy), a 5-month-old, 25# pup, who came into rescue with his brother Carl (Carl’s Junior).  This beautiful black & white smooth-coated border collie/McNab mix puppy also sports a nice & large white collar & blaze.  Bob is a soft pup, who is growing in confidence & skills/abilities every day.  He is learning the comfort of “lots of love” & positive experiences in his foster home, & he is responding beautifully.  He is a very loving, kind puppy!

ADOPTED – JESSIE

October 11, 2021
ADOPTION PENDING - JESSIE is an active, affectionate ball-chasing young lady. She loves people and people love her. She also gets along well with other dogs. She does not let her birth challenges; zero hearing and limited vision, slow her down in the least. She lives a pretty normal life, but would benefit greatly from having another dog buddy to pair up with for play time. As you can see from the video she loves to run and play hard. Her dog buddy should be able to match her activity level and enthusiasm for play and companionship, particularly when out in the yard. Inside she prefers hanging with her people or just picking a quiet spot in which to rest.

ADOPTED – ARCHIE

September 29, 2021
Meet ARCHIE, a very sweet 1.5-year-old male beautifully marked smooth coat brown and white border collie.  He weighs in at a slim and slender 32 pounds and stands about 18.5 inches at the shoulder.  ARCHIE is looking for a loving and caring home. ARCHIE has been a gentleman when inside the house and has not soiled his crate or kennel.  ARCHIE seldom if ever barks.  However, when insecure, licking and jumping have been an issue.  Through consistent and gentle training, ARCHIE is quickly learning to curb these behaviors.

ADOPTED – MIA

September 21, 2021
ADOPTED - MIA (or "Missy") is a 5-to-6-year-old energetic, bunny-soft, joyful, sweet fluff-ball of love. She is a border collie/Aussie mix, who weighs 50 pounds, and don’t tell her, but she could still lose a couple of those pounds.  She is intently human-focused, lives to play outside and inside, chase toys, go on adventures, get pets, chew bones and give cuddles. MIA is house-trained, signals when she needs to go, crates well, and travels in the car like a champ. She has a reliable recall without distractions.

ADOPTED – SIMBA

September 14, 2021
Our boy SIMBA is a tri-colored Border collie about 6 months of age and 32 lbs. A little thin when he got here, SIMBA is now on a three meal a day regimen to put some meat on his bones. He does not mind that one bit as he loves food and treats. What he loves most is chasing that tennis ball. He is very good at fetch, and getting better at “drop it” though that is still on his terms more than ours.
