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 – 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 – MUSTARD

ADOPTION PENDING - MUSTARD is a black and white smooth coat border collie mix that weighs in at about 15 pounds. One of four brothers (two adopted), he is methodical in his approach. He wants to get the lay of the land before jumping in, but once he is confident you are good folk, he is all in. MUSTARD then wants all the attention. His happy place may just be out with his people playing and goofing around. Smart and observant, he is beginning to understand the commands “sit” and “crate.” He does well with his siblings and the adult dogs in the house. He mostly ignores our cats. He sometimes takes note of their presence but felines should not present a problem.

ADOPTED BUN

Meet BUN! BUN is a tri-colored, smooth coated border collie mix boy about 5 months of age, 26 pounds. One of four brothers (the other three doing very well in their new homes), BUN has really blossomed into a confident young boy.

Mama Peach Pie’s Puppies all ADOPTED

Mama Peach Pie's Puppies all ADOPTED. MAMA PEACH PIE, barely more than a teenager, found herself in the family way in a small, rural shelter. The shelter called to tell us about her situation, & they were keen to transfer her to rescue before she delivered her puppies. So, we picked her up the next day. She arrived at her rescue foster home very pregnant & despite her difficult circumstances, as sweet as pie & puppyish. She simply couldn’t have any other name! The Pie puppies were born on December 10th, & at birth revealed their movie star good looks. As soon as their eyes & ears opened for business, we were delighted to see that the pups have also inherited Mama Peach Pie’s sweet & playful disposition, as well as her smarts. They are now excited & ready to find their forever homes.

She also loves to play tug with her foster mom and dad, or with any or all of the big dogs in the house. Her adult dog buddies Perkins and Skittles accommodate her whenever they are together.

BOYS OF SUMMER MALE PUPPIES

THE BOYS OF SUMMER litter is another NCBCRA sweet group of puppies that are sure to steal your heart. Born in June 2023, the pups are 9 weeks old & are ready to go to their forever homes. All of the puppies are “border collie” energetic & smart, so be prepared with games, training opportunities, or dog sports for these dearies; a few really like to play in water and all love toys. If you give them what they need to work their little brains & bodies, they all have an “off switch” & will be happy snuggling, or hanging out with you—some more than others, so ask lots of questions about the puppy you want to bring home. The puppies live with other dogs in their foster home, so they are well-socialized to dogs. They have had lots of visitors in their foster home, & they have been charming to one & all. They don’t yet have a firm grasp of housebreaking, as they’re all still together, providing each other with plenty of distractions. As smart as they are, that should come together once they have one-on-one, consistent direction from you. They eat their meals in their crates & have ridden in a large crate together for the ride to their foster home & to the vet without getting carsick. The BOYS OF SUMMER litter is being fostered Granite Bay, Placer County, CA.
