ADOPTED JACK
Meet 4-month-old JACK (of the Three’s Company litter; sisters Janet & Crissy are fostering with other families and will be available soon). The smallest of the three pups at 20 pounds, Jack is a rowdy, fun-loving, energetic boy, who loves people and other dogs with equal enthusiasm. Everyone and everything is his play pal. He even finds or makes a party at the vet’s office (see photos). He is very photogenic with his North by Northeast ears highlighted in every picture.
ADOPTED JAGGER
JAGGER is a darling 19-pound 4-month-old Queensland Heeler puppy who will steal your heart. Born at the end of May 2024, JAGGER is playful, sassy, athletic and a cuddlebug with his foster brother RIN. This is a puppy with lots of energy for fun and games, and maybe a little mischief! He is most happy when he can lead the pack in a game of chase, wrestle while RIN lies on the floor, or nap near your feet or with his buddies. JAGGER is very athletic, having no problem in jumping up on things that are much higher than him - the bed, the couch, and more! A fast learner, JAGGER will love to learn new things that will make him think as well as play & exercise.
Adopted RIN
Meet RIN, a 47 pound medium coat beautifully marked boy who is everyone’s friend and your adored companion. RIN is approximately 1.5 years old and has a playful, joyful personality. He is very social and loves to play with other dogs, running and leaping about the yard in a good game of tag, or gently wrestling with a dog buddy on the floor or the couch.
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
Meet PENNY Lane, a 28-pound, one-year-old Border Collie who's blossoming as she progresses through adolescence. Social and friendly, PENNY enjoys spending time with both people and other dogs, and she loves a good romp in the yard.

ADOPTED – SUNI
SUNI, named after the Olympic gold medalist gymnast Suni Lee, is pure gold. She is approximately 3 -years-old, and many say she is the perfect size at 30 pounds.

She is simply a love and would thrive in a home where she can be with her people much of the time.
ADOPTED – LEAH
Meet Leah, a 4 1/2-month-old, tri-colored beauty, who is ready to take the world by storm.

Quite simply, the world is Leah's oyster.
ADOPTED – FIRESTONE
Hi. My name is FireStone! I’m a 6 month old Female BC/Aussie mix. I came to rescue with my siblings Toyo, Apollo, and Pirelli. We were found near a tire shop, so we were each named after a brand of tire. I’m mostly black with a white chest peppered with spots. and a long tail. I’m a little on the small side, only 26 lbs, but foster mom says I have a big heart. I love to snuggle with the humans and give lots of kisses.

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 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.
