CENTRAL CALIFORNIA DOGS

Fostered between San Francisco and San Luis Obispo

Name: CHARLIE	(Click on picture for more photos)
Male - Black & White Age: ~ 1 year old. Size: Medium
Meet Charlie, a rangy young intact (we'll take care of that)  male short-coat BC who comes to us from the Madera shelter.  Charlie is affectionate, playful and crate-trained.  He's also a budding ball dog, based on our first trip to the dog park this morning.  He caused a bit of a stir among the neutered multitude upon his arrival, but took the increased curiosity in stride and made no attempt to flaunt the stature associated with his extra parts.  He's a very cool and adaptable young boy who knows his name already, and has demonstrated great recall.  He's got a quick, leaping stride when he runs.  Charlie's a little scrawny at 38 lbs., and will likely fill-out a bit.         If you are interested in Charlie, you must have an approved application on file. Contact Tom 925.837.8788 or email tfcmail@gmail.com.

FOR MORE PHOTOS - CLICK ON COLLAGE ABOVE We are now accepting applications for these adorable puppies.  Their mother was rescued from an animal shelter on March 18th and the puppies were born the next day.  Their mom was a stray so we don't know her history.  Mom is definitely purebred and the pups look purebred too, although we can't say for sure.  Mom is very sweet, extremely obedient and appears to have some natural herding instincts.  If the pups grow up to be half as sweet as their mom, they will all be wonderful companions.  Since we get lots of applicants for our litters of pups, please send us an email inquiry and specify your 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice of pups.  We will review all applications and will be deciding on the best home for each pup.   If you don't have an application on file with us, please submit one as soon as possible.   These puppies have been so advanced.  At two weeks of age, they were climbing out of their puppy box and starting to growl and bark.  They started eating solid food at 3 weeks of age and they are very friendly - none of them hanging back when someone comes to see them.  They love to play with their toys.  They are paper trained and they're doing very well now, going outside through their doggy door to go potty. Please send your email to clansmen@bcrescuenc.org

 

Name: NOTCH	(Click on picture for more photos)
Male Black & White Age: 3 months old Size: Medium
Notch is an awesome puppy, his litter came into the Merced shelter as strays. 5 days after coming into the shelter I stumbled upon him, I immediately saw that male puppy #2 was a special dog, he was calmer, friendly and outgoing. He immediately approached me tail wagging giving kisses and moving into a sit position for pets. Notch is a Velcro pup, he started responding to his new name first time it was used and will come from the other room when called. Notch is a very social puppy and is continuing his socialization, he has done well with all sorts of strangers, he greets every stranger no matter who they are with a big tail wag. He gets excited and wags his tail whenever he sees the leash. Notch goes to the bathroom outside on his own and hasn't had any accidents inside his kennel area, he alerts with a whimper and a pee-pee dance/pace. He uses his "Natures Miracle" puppy training pads in the far corner of his kennel to go pee on at night. He is not used to walking on grass and more accustomed to going on concrete but used the lawn for the first time yesterday. He sleeps inside of his warmed crate at night with the door open, the crate has his favorite blanket, his stuffed animals and a warm water bottle under the blanket, he also has a ticking clock on top of the kennel which really helps him sleep at night. It took him a couple days to learn how to take treats from my hand but will now take them from my hand and will sit for his treat. If you are interested in meeting Notch, you must have an approved application on file.  For more information, please contact Mike at michael@w2c.net.  Notch is being fostered in Stockton.

 

Name: LANDON	(Click on picture for more photos)
Male Black & White Age: 1 year old Size: Medium
There is not much more to say about Landon other than he loves people, this guy is very out going and is quick to greet and bond. Landon is a very polite dog and knows to sit when greeting a new person then lifts his paw to give them a hand shake. He also responds to the command "Give me some paw". Landon is a very mature 1y/o medium energy companion (6/10). Landon would be most happy in a home were he could get nonstop attention, he's the classic velcro dog. Landon does great in the car and loves going for rides, in public he wants to greet every passer-by he sees. Normally when he sees someone he doesn't know, he'll stare at them and if they continue to ignore him he'll go into a sit position and give them the Jedi mind trick with a lifted paw. Landon does very well on a leash and long line single and tethered to a second dog. He did very well with the children he has met on leash but one 5 year old got scared when Landon tried greeting with his traditional paw up, hand-shake. On Landon's days out, he is very attentive to where I am at and is normally ready to pass out after 1/2 mile walk around the park. He has shown curiosity with ducks and cats he has come across but didn't display much chase/ prey/ herding drive with them. Landon would most likely do best in a single dog home or a home with the right canine partner and owner. He seems very outgoing and gets excited when he sees smaller dogs, under 30lbs and he easily melded with my dominant 34lb Eskie/Golden Retriever. Landon has had an issue dominance issue with his previous foster brother but it was mostly resolved by the time Jack was adopted. Currently, Landon is doing excellent, he adopted the new puppy, from day one Landon took it upon himself to welcome and comfort the new puppy. He constantly wants to be around the puppy and the puppy has enjoyed the extra attention and cuddling. Landon has also made progress meeting new stranger dogs and has made several friends who had the patience to get past his energetic and sometimes loud greeting. He does bark and needs work with stranger dogs walking across the street while he is sitting at the coffee shop. He is starting formal socialization and training classes within the next couple weeks. Landon is very easy to control around the house and has great manners, he loves to cuddle and watch TV and will run up to the TV and sit 2 feet in front of it when Animal Planet or the Dog Whisperer is on. Landon appears house-broken with rare accidents, he hasn't started alerting to go outside yet, he has showed minimal destructive tendencies like mouthing the occasional exposed power cords and has occasionally torn up paper/magazines. When I catch him with something like a piece of paper he will hand it to me as soon as I ask for it. Before starting formal classes he knows the sit, down, drop it, leave it and stand, "co-mon", slow and finally the "give me some paw" commands, he also responds to my personal whistle and click commands. If you are interested in meeting Landon, you must have an approved application on file.  For more information, please contact Mike at michael@w2c.net.  Landon is being fostered in Stockton.
