ADOPTED – PRESLEY
PRESLEY and his brother Jagger, the Rock and Roll Boys, were found as strays, brought into the shelter by a Good Samaritan, and from there it was on to NCBCRA. They are 4 1/2 month old smooth coat black and white Border collie, Queensland Heeler mixes. PRESLEY (26 lbs.) will tell you he’s the better looking of the two, but Jagger will tell you the same story. All we can tell you for sure is that it was time the brothers led their own separate lives, so PRESLEY wound up coming to Tehama County, while Jagger is fostered in Placer County. They have really flourished apart, and now they are ready for their forever homes.
ADOPTED – FLY
Meet FLY girl. FLY is a four-year-old, 35lb border collie mix with a medium length coat. She has attentive ears and kind eyes that never leave sight of her person. Despite being on the shy side, FLY has never met a human she does not love. FLY has the quickest happy feet when bounding to greet her people and follows them absolutely everywhere. She will crawl up on your lap and melt into you for a pet. An ideal day for FLY looks a bit like this: a quick trip outside before breakfast, naps all day and short trips around the house to follow her people, maybe a jaunt outside, dinner, and a good sleep wherever she sees fit that night, whether that be her bed, your bed, or her crate.
ADOPTED – KAI
Meet little 5 month old KAI who currently weighs in at 28lbs. He's a merle sable with the most gorgeous blue eyes. Kai has been in foster with a female Kelpie and has met many other dogs who he immediately loves. He's met children and thinks they are just grand. KAI is medium drive with exceptional trainability as he just wants to please. He'd do well in a family and would excel as a nice training prospect for any one of the numerous dog sports like Agility or Treibball. He walks great on leash and picks up commands like the brilliant puppy he is. He learned the tug game quickly and is willing to "give" when the tug item becomes still. Did I mention how much he wants to please?
ADOPTED – PENNY

MERLE (Available thru Australian Shepherds Furever)

Meet Merle, a 2 year, 40 lb male border collie. Merle is super sweet and has never met a stranger he didn’t like. He is very outgoing and just wants to please his people.
Merle is your typical Border Collie who has a busy mind and needs lots of room to run. He would be best suited to an active home or a home with some property. Merle likes to run and play with other dogs but much prefers his people. He has a good recall but needs further training.
SHUMAN (Available thru Australian Shepherds Furever)
Shuman is a 1.5 y/o Male Border Collie mix. He weighs about 50 lbs., is neutered, microchipped and UTD on vaccines and Heartworm/flea & tick prevention. Shuman came from a Central California Shelter where he was shut down and scared. It took animal control a couple of weeks to catch him and while in the shelter, he wouldn’t eat or come out of the corner for affection. It was very likely he would have been euthanized had his foster parents not taken a chance to rehabilitate him. He is one lucky pup! Today, Shuman has blossomed. He plays well with other polite dogs and is good on a leash. He is crate trained and he has been learning some commands while with his foster family.
LUX OWNER AVAILABLE
If interested in LUX please contact Audra via email at audragrady@gmail.com Lux is an 8 year old McNab mix born in Sonoma County in 2017. We rescued her and her sister after the Tubbs fire in Santa Rosa, CA and took them in as foster puppies. We then adopted both of them and they have lived with us together for the last 8 years. Lux is a healthy and active 8 year old female. She is about 48 pounds, spayed since she was a puppy.
ARCHIE OWNER AVAILABLE
If interested in ARCHIE please contact Maya via email at mayareeseg@gmail.com Archie is six years old, about 60 pounds. He’s very active, loves chasing the tennis ball and pretty much any toy you’ll throw for him. He’s highly intelligent, loves belly rubs and ear scratches. He has a big personality that’s bound to make you laugh. Commands he knows: Sit, stay, down, come, wait, back up, heel. He knows how to bow. Out, leave it, enough, done, free, off, down. He knows how to pick up his leash if it’s dropped – Just point at it and say get it. He’ll pick up sunglasses and keys with that same command and hand it to you. He knows “clean up” if any food drops or spills. He’s potty trained, not destructive, doesn’t get separation anxiety. He loves to crawl up on the couch or bed and take a nap after a long day. He is not good with cats. He would be fine to be in a home with other dogs. He’s can be reactive with dogs outside of the home, especially when on a leash. He is fine with dogs in his doggy daycare. He is e-collar trained. No health issues. He does take 300mg of gabapentin and 100mg Of trazodone on occasion per the vets recommend it helps me not be as on edge if there is company coming over. He’s also on once monthly simparica trio. Neutered and up-to-date on vaccines.
He does have a bite history with adult humans, none serious. The bites have occurred when there has been what he perceives as a threat to his pack (e.g., someone unfamiliar tries to pet him) or when someone within his pack invades his space (e.g., he’s in his bed sleeping and doesn’t want to move, and you reach in to try to force him to). Biting always comes with warning signs, growl, lip raised. He never snaps without warning.
EDDIE OWNER AVAILABLE
If interested in EDDIE please contact Julian via email at mk.smith79@comcast.net I have a Border Collie mix I can't keep long term. I'm looking for help re-homing him. He needs a place without other dogs (big may be OK, not sure) or small children. I live in Newberg Oregon, but will travel almost anywhere to find him a good placement. I adopted Eddie, almost 5 years ago, when he was 2. He was an adoption return. Between what I see and what my agility instructor says, I think he was not well treated as a puppy. While it has been improving with training and activity, he's always had herding/nipping behavior.
PIPER OWNER AVAILABLE
If interested in PIPER please contact Will via email at lamtaichi@gmail.com Piper is a six year old female Border Collie mixed that I adopted from someone who didn’t have time for her two years ago. Piper is spayed but the former owner did not remember where the alteration took place, however, Piper has a blue mark on her lower tummy indicating the procedure. Piper has a lot of energy and is a hard working dog.
WALKER Shelter Available
If interested in adopting, fostering, or rescuing WALKER, please contact Sonii by email at scorona@lodi.gov or call the Animal Shelter of Lodi at 209-333-6741 Hi, I’m Walker! I am currently residing in the animal shelter of Lodi, CA since early May. I’m 2 years old, weigh about 40 lbs, neutered, and current on all my vaccines. I am not microchipped. I was running stray for over 3 weeks before I was caught. The big noises and many people that surrounded the streets were very scary to me, so I would run as fast as I could when anybody looked my way and hid very well until anyone in sight was gone. Since being at the shelter, I’ve realized, there are good people who only want to help me, and I get excited any time I see them approach my kennel.
