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.

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. This delightful little girl adores people and just wants to be touched and petted. She will lay her head in your hand and soak up affection. 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. Leah is sweet and spirited, cuddly and crazy energetic, confident and social with everyone she meets and in every situation she's encountered since we've known her. And she is smart as a whip.

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.
ADOPTED – APOLLO
Apollo has been a joy to foster over the past few weeks. Apollo loves people and does great when there are visitors at the house. He also plays well with the 3 other dogs at his foster home and is fine sharing food or toys. He sits to receive pets and is quickly learning multiple commands such as “wait,” "sit," “crate,” “come,” and “get back." He walks well on a leash most of the time, but can become distracted, so he will need some additional work on leash training. He is sometimes overstimulated by small dogs and would do best in a home without small dogs. He is interested in cats, but can be easily redirected so he would likely be OK with dog savvy cats. Apollo has shown some interest in balls and toys but is more interested in playing with his dog pals, swimming or interacting with his person.
KAMMIE AVAILABLE
Meet lovely KAMMIE. KAMMIE is a medium-rough coat, red and white border collie / Aussie mix, 2-3 years old. KAMMIE has medium to low drive, but her BC genes might become more pronounced with time as she’s had some adjusting to do. She is cautious around new people, especially men, but as time goes on, she warms up more quickly and becomes a love bug, giving kisses and begging for pets and attention. We’re considering KAMMIE a bit of a “special needs” foster as her new human(s) should expect a period of her developing comfort, confidence, and familiarity with her new environment. That said, KAMMIE has shown no signs of aggression, rarely barks, and will be a loving and loyal family member for the one who is patient to give her the time she needs to adjust and trust.
ADOPTED – PIRELLI
Meet our sweet girl, Pirelli. She is a 6-month-old 36#, BC/Aussie mix with very pretty tri-color markings, and a cute little bobbed tail. Pirelli came in as a stray who was picked up by animal control near a tire store with her 3 littermates, so they all got tire names: Pirelli, Toyo, Apollo and Firestone! Pirelli's favorite thing is her person. She wants to be near her person most of the time. A very close second favorite thing is her foster brothers and sisters. She gets along well with dogs of all sizes and loves to play and wrestle. She would do well with another dog also likes to play. She would also be fine as an only dog as long as she gets plenty of attention and exercise. Pirelli is a little bit curious about the cat in her foster home, but she does not chase and is respectful of the cat, so she would very likely be OK in a home with dog savvy cats.
ADOPTED – MAGGIE
Meet MAGGIE, the approximately 10-month-old vibrant border collie mix with a zest for life and a heart of gold. Weighing a sprightly 30 pounds, MAGGIE is a bundle of energy and affection, always ready for her next adventure. MAGGIE is an enthusiastic greeter when she meets new humans.

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.
FINN OWNER AVAILABLE
If interested in FINN please contact Don via email at donchasey@gmail.com Finn is a Tricolored Smooth Coat Border Collie. He is 4-5 years old, neutered male, up to date on vaccinations and is microchipped. Finn is very intelligent and easy to train. He’s eager to please and he is a sweetheart. We adopted him at a local shelter about 3 ½ months ago. He doesn’t like our other dog and would do best to be the only dog in the household. He gets along well with our cats and parrot. He is very focused on his people and doesn’t get distracted when walking by chickens or cats in the neighborhood. He sometimes reacts to other dogs on a leash, but not always. Finn walks well on a leash and stops before crossing the street when told to wait.
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.
