COSMO AVAILABLE

Meet COSMO, a 5-month-old chunky-monkey, fluffernutter of 35#.  Yep, he’s on the big side and his has the energy and enthusiasm to match!  He bounds through life and is learning that all parts of his body need to go in the same direction.  Imagine what it’s like to be the size of a full-grown herding dog with the brain of a puppy!  (His nickname is Baby Huey!)

TEDDY – ADOPTED

**ADOPTED** Meet TEDDY! A darling, sweet and cuddly 11-week-old puppy, TEDDY is 14 pounds with a smooth beautifully marked black, white and kisses of tan (around his ears, eyebrows, and bum!) coat. He is highly socialized and loves being with his humans, playing with toys, receiving hugs and kisses, cuddling on the couch and receiving belly rubs.

ADOPTED – DAPHNE

DAPHNE is a one year old female border collie and Australian shepherd cross with a beautiful blue merle coat. She weighs at just 35 lbs. Daphne has one brown eye and one blue eye, which melts your heart when she gazes into your eyes. She’s the sister of recently adopted Chloe and shares many of the same wonderful traits—friendly, affectionate, and eager to please.

ADOPTED – NASH

**Adoption Pending** Nash is a two-year-old male black and white rough-coat Border Collie, weighing 35 pounds. He’s a happy-go-lucky Border Collie with a relaxed temperament—not your typical high-energy herding dog. Nash is a true unicorn—just as happy to lounge around as he is to play! DOGS & CATS Nash loves all dogs—big, small, playful, or reserved. He has been introduced to many dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments and gets along beautifully with all of them. He’s naturally submissive and avoids conflict, making him a fantastic companion for multi-dog households. His favorite games include chase and bitey-face, but he also enjoys just hanging out with his dog friends. Plus, he’s a pro snuggler when it comes to other dogs! Bonus: Nash is also cat-friendly! He has shown a calm and appropriate demeanor around cats, making him a great candidate for a home with feline family members.

ADOPTED – FREDDIE

Hello! I am FREDDIE, Freddie Spaghetti, or just Fred. The vet thinks that I am approximately 6-9 months old. I weigh about 30 lbs and I won’t grow much more. I am as good natured as they come. I haven’t met a person or dog I haven’t liked. I love to play with toys, especially ones that are soft and squeaky, and I do like to pounce on a ball. I have not yet mastered the art of bringing the ball back, but my foster family is working on that with me. I do need to be supervised with toys because I will chew parts off and try to eat them. I LOVE to cuddle and follow my foster parents around and I LOVE to take naps and play with my toys on the couch. I sleep very well in my crate at night, though I do like to whine a bit at first and then again in the morning when I am ready to get out. I settle down in my crate while my foster parents are away, but I still could use some additional work on crate training, and I prefer to have a pupsicle to help me calm down when I am put in there. My foster mom bought me a dog play pen that sets up easily inside the house and I really enjoy being in there. She says it is security for me, and peace of mind for her and I like that I can see everything that is going on around me!

ADOPTED – CHLOE

✨ Meet the Beautiful Miss Chloe! ✨ Chloe is a stunning one-year-old Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix, weighing approximately 39 pounds and ready to embark on her next big adventure! Chloe’s story began on a rough note — she and her sister were found abandoned on a rural road, skinny and unsure of the world. It was clear they had never experienced the warmth of a loving home or the comfort of kind human and dog relationships.

ADOPTED – FORREST

**ADOPTION PENDING** FORREST is a delightful but shy Border collie mix with a soft, curly, medium length black and white coat. His front feet have short white socks while his back feet are both tipped in white. He is approximately 10 months of age and 33 pounds. FORREST loves mealtime and appreciates treats for being a good boy! He also loves toys of all kinds; bones, ropes, stuffed animals, squeakers, etc. You’ll want to keep plenty around as he has been known to steal a shoe or two (no damage, just a collector). If FORREST isn’t entertaining himself with a toy he can likely be found taking a snooze on the couch.

ADOPTED – DARLA

DARLA is an 8-month-old, 28lb, black and white Border Collie mix. She has a low maintenance smooth coat and ears that don’t miss a beat. DARLA is, as you can imagine, quite darling and loves showing off for the camera!

ADOPTED – URZA

URZA is a smart, active, happy, baby girl. She is approximately 10 weeks and 10 pounds of energy. Her coat is a very soft black and white (almost looks like some brown is coming in around her cheeks) and we believe she will have a short or possibly medium coat. She loves people, toys, other dogs, and even cats. She longs to play with any person, canine, or feline that is up for fun times. She can be a little overzealous in her play, but she’ll learn boundaries as she grows and develops.

She is about 45 pounds, spayed, up to date on vaccines, chipped, and house-trained. She is an AMAZING dog. Super smart, potty trained, does not destroy furniture and chew on things, etc. She does have a bit of stranger danger and should be monitored and introduced slowly to new people. She would thrive somewhere with space to run, no kids. She is thoughtful, eager to learn, and an amazing companion. She takes a moment to warm up to people but with time and proper introductions, Kacey becomes tolerant, super affectionate, and will be your best friend and cuddle bug.

Would be best suited in a household, who is a jogger, marathon runner long distance she needs to be worn out and needs a job. In the house she is highly active and seeks attention. Not best with smaller animals such as cats, rodents, rabbits or female dogs. She did grow up with a male dog and does best with large male breeds.

RUTHIE OWNER AVAILABLE

If interested in RUTHIE please contact Lydia via email at mushutoast@yahoo.com Ruthie 7 month old Border collie / Aussie mix. 26 lbs. Good with dogs, cats, and older kids.  Are you a morning person? Then Ruthie is your girl! She's ready to get up and watch sunrises with you. Ruthie gets along with dogs, but really wants a person to call her own. She loves cats, but maybe a little too much for some cats since she likes to lick their face and playfully chase sometimes. She is sweet and affectionate and would make a great buddy to go out and do things with. Ruthie does not want to be left alone at home for a traditional 8 hour work day and her future parents should plan on training classes or maybe even agility to keep up with her and keep her body and mind busy. She does well in a crate and walks curiously on leash but does not constantly pull. 

LINK OWNER AVAILABLE

If interested in Link (B & W on left in multi-dog pictures) please contact Marcus via email at marcusram31@gmail.com Meet Link – Your New Best Friend! This happy-go-lucky boy is Link, a 14-year-old pup who still has the energy and spirit of a dog half his age! At 51 lbs, he’s fit, healthy, and always ready for an adventure.

MAX OWNER AVAILABLE

If interested in MAX please contact Gwendolyn via email at zoegwen2000@gmail.com  Max is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. He is located in Sacramento, CA, and is ready to meet the right adopter who can meet-adopt here. A home visit and vet reference are required to adopt. This handsome guy is Max. He needs a home because his person passed away. Max was born on December 27th, 2023. He weighs about 34 pounds. Max knows sit. He is working on “look at me” and is working on “drop it”. He is also house trained. Max is a loyal guy who feels more comfortable with women than men. Kind, fair men can get him to warm up. We think a home with kids would be too busy for Max. Max is best with smaller dogs, and dogs who aren’t rambunctious. As for his home life, he will be best as the only dog. As for cats, he lives with cats but wants to chase so it is probably best if he does not live with them.

PEPPER OWNER AVAILABLE

If interested in Pepper please contact Lorraine via email at fenceit@comcast.net   I have been fostering a Border collie for the last year, as a favor to a friend.  I live in a small house, small backyard. To help run off her energy, we played ball in a local park. Pepper is a medium, smooth coat BC. She is 5 yrs. old, spayed, house and crate trained. She weighs in at about 35/40 Lbs.  Up to date on all shots.  Crate, leash, food, ball chucker... all will go with her. 

ZELDA OWNER AVAILABLE

If interested in ZELDA please contact Judith via email at judyraftery@gmail.com Zelda is a sweet and loving 5 year old Border Collie we adopted from a rescue organization in Arizona as a puppy. She has the kind and gentle nature typical of her breed, making her a great companion. Zelda is intelligent and energetic, which is typical for a Border Collie, and she thrives in environments where she can engage in activities that challenge her mind and body. Despite her high energy, she's affectionate and enjoys spending time with people - and she loves a good tummy rub! She would probably be best as the only pet in a home as she is very protective. Zelda is good with our grandchildren when they visit so I believe she would be good with children in the household. Zelda is looking for a family or individual who can provide her with the care, attention, and exercise she needs to flourish in her new home. We live in Napa but would be willing to drive her to a new home in California.
