DOTTIE AVAILABLE
DOTTIE is officially ready for and eager to find her forever home. Dottie is a loving, gentle girl, 3-years-and-9-month-old and weighing about 50 lbs. She has a black and white rough-coat with gorgeous markings. She is a very kind girl, who is social and well-mannered with all people, even young children. While Dottie does have a soft spot for and more likely to bond with men, she’d also do well with a female adopter. And while we don’t want to dwell on the past, it is important to know that DOTTIE suffered an accident with a cow; as a result, she had to have her back left leg amputated. Happily, that event is behind her now; she has healed completely from her surgery and gets around very well. Everyone loves her at the clinic. When she arrived for her all-is-well exam, it was warm welcomes from everyone. She reciprocated, wagging her tail the whole time and confidently greeting all. She did always keep an eye on her foster mom to make sure she wasn’t being left behind. She is good on a leash for our vet visits, but around the yard she just follows and lays down a lot. Long walks probably would not be her thing.
ADOPTED – ORION
Orion is a tri-colored black, white, and copper smooth coat border collie cross weighing 45 pounds and standing about 21” at the shoulder. He is believed to be about one year old. Orion is a well-balanced boy with brown, inquisitive, and curious eyes. He listens and tilts his head as if to ask what you want, to understand, and to please you however he can.

VALENTINO in Memoriam
In Memoriam: Valentino was left at a shelter on February 14th, emaciated at 48 pounds (versus his ideal weight of 70 lbs). His back legs were atrophied, he had severe orthopedic issues, and advanced arthritis, among many other issues. We thought we were likely seeing Val through the last few months of his life, but we were bamboozled! Val became younger right before our eyes. His walks got longer, he got stronger, and much to our amazement, he began galloping and rolling around playing with other dogs. He quickly became a neighborhood celebrity. Val even became 'Uncle Val' to our skinny little rescue puppy Oliver (who is now our Betty’s big little brother – fun note, Betty was also adopted from NCBCRA).
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.

ADOPTED – DODGER
ADOPTED - Allow me the pleasure of introducing you to a very special member of the NCBCRA family, DODGER. Dodger is approximately two years old and weighs 45 pounds. When Dodger came into the program, it appeared he had never lived inside a home and had no human interaction, and now it has all become 2nd nature to him. DODGER loves human interaction. He quickly approaches new humans. He will give you the biggest grin, position himself adorably on your side, and look deeply into your eyes, asking for love and attention. Once he knows you, Dodger is affectionate and loving. I have to admit it’s the cutest thing!
ADOPTED – FLYNN
Meet FLYNN, a sweet 1 ½ year old boy of 55 pounds with a smooth beautifully marked black and white coat, one blue eye and one brown eye. His long legs, tall ears, and slim build may give a hint of a McNabb characteristic. FLYNN is highly socialized and loves being with his humans, receiving hugs and cuddling.
FLYNN has a happy and confident personality, loves to run, play with toys, and socialize with dog friends. He will need a household that provides suitable room to run and exercise, and activities to keep his mind busy. He is constantly trying to engage in play with his foster packmates, but will play with toys on his own as well.
FLYNN knows basic commands and will be easy to train as he is food motivated and wants to please you. He is crated trained and sleeps quietly all night. Key words that describe this boy:
• High energy/Loves to run
• Playful
• Smart
ADOPTED – ANNIE
We are happy to introduce our sweet little orphan ANNIE! She is a 28 pound, 1 year old BC mix. She has an easy-care smooth coat and very pretty sable coloring. She’s a nice small size, long and lean with an adorable curly tail. She still has a few pounds to put on, but she is already full grown. ANNIE loves playing with her foster brother! She wants to play and be part of the pack. She will do well with another young dog who also likes to wrestle and chase, or an older dog that loves to play. She likes to chase cats and would do best in a home without cats. She can be choosey in her taste for treats, but she has learned to sit for a cookie after a bit of practice. Annie is praise-motivated and is very smart, but she will need someone who is patient when training her as she is just learning to learn. Annie is very athletic, often leaping over her foster brother to come inside. She will make a great hiking/running/adventure partner too!
ADOPTED – WILEY
Say hello to WILEY, the nicest dog you will ever meet. He is a 2 year old, 50 pound BC with smooth coat and eyes that say, love me! WILEY'S favorite things are to be with his person, go for walks and go for car rides. He loves going for car rides and will happily load up. He rides quietly, and is very well behaved. WILEY gets along well with all dogs and is a little cat curious, but does not chase the cats in his foster home. WILEY is a medium energy boy who needs daily walks, but is happy to chill on the couch with you. He also loves to hang out in the yard and soak up the sun. He has shown a little bit of interest in toys, and loves to chew on his favorite chew toy or bone.
ADOPTED COSMO
COSMO is a gorgeous—inside & out—3-year-old boy, who is also on the smaller side for a BC male (36#). His red & white coat is soft, & he loves to be stroked & petted, sometimes emitting a soft, keening howl of pleasure. Even though Cosmo’s coat is long, it’s tangle-free & easy to care for. While Cosmo is not a barker per se, he does occasionally “talk” or even “sing” a bit—when you talk or sing with him, but especially when his dear friend border collie Molly gets going. If you ask him to stop, he does so immediately.

Mack is a 2 1/2 year old Border Collie/Blue Heeler that is neutered, microchipped, and crate trained. He has had a lot of training and his joys in life include running, hiking, chasing frisbees and tennis balls, swimming, and getting loving from his people. I have had Mack since he was 3 months old and heartbreakingly, I am needing to find him a new forever home. Mack loves people and children and most other dogs. He is amazing around my many farm animals. Unfortunately, he nipped at my male neighbor in the driveway(no broken skin, just a nip as heelers will do). He is protective of his home and me but, is only doing what his breed instincts tell him. My neighbor now yells at me each time he gets out and has brought me to tears. He would like to see Mack taken away from me. I have spent so much time and energy fencing my property and putting electric fencing across the driveway but Mack is too smart for it.
