Meet “Kaeli” – 14 months old Border Collie Mix
Kaeli is a beautiful, playful, bundle of puppy type energy.
She is not a couch potato.
People
always comment on her long legs, slender figure and how fast she can
run.
When she is
at the dog park, she likes to chase and be chased and usually pairs
herself up with the herding dogs.
Kaeli does
like to chase balls and will bring them back.
She also
likes to play with her Kong toys stuffed with treats.
She is much
calmer in the home when she has had the chance to burn off some of her
energy.
She is not
a destructive chewer when left alone but likes to play with and tear
napkins,
tissues or
the odd piece of paper left laying around.
Initially
Kaeli barked at everything while in the yard and in the house.
Kaeli's new
family will need to have some patience with her while she settles in.
Gradually,
she has learned what the normal sounds and activities of the
neighborhood are and she has mellowed and so has the barking.
She is
currently being fostered with a senior female dog
and an 8
year old male dog and doing well.
Sorry...no
kids or cats please.
Kaeli
is very intelligent girl and would thrive in a home where the human
members of the pack follow training instructions with consistency to
show her the good life in the human world and build a trusting and kind
relationship with Kaeli using reward-based / positive reinforcement
training techniques.
If you
are interested in adopting this beauty and giving her a loving
forever home, please fill out our online application at:

Meet Patoo,
approximately 3 year old, spayed, potty trained, beautiful female dog.
She was
born in Vafa Animal Shelter in Iran, and she has been fostered in a
home
for the
last 2 months here in SF Bay Area where she has been learning
some social
skills and become potty trained.
Patoo is
looking for a relatively quiet home with adult household members and no
other dogs, as she is a shy dog and is happiest when people give her
space and
time to warm up to them.
If you are
looking for a dog to cuddle with on your bed and couch,
she is NOT
the dog for you.
She is
happy in her own bed, and will let you know when she is ready for some
petting and attention,
however
that may take weeks before it happens.
She is
respectful towards cats and leaves them alone.
She likes
to go on walks, and likes the dog park most of the time.
She'll even
play fetch and play with other dogs at the dog park.
Patoo has
some old injuries in her back leg (curable) and is going to need some
TLC.
If you are
interested in adopting this beauty and giving her a loving forever home,
please fill out our online application at:

Tally
Australian Shepherd/Border Collie
Mix: An adoptable dog in Kanab, UT
Medium • Young • Female
Tally is a young aussie/border collie mix
that was born approximately in November of
2010.
Tally would benefit from an active
home that will continue to teach her
appropriate house manners. She is very
puppyish still and everything is a possible
toy. Tally loves to wrestle and play with
other dogs but can be sassy at high
excitement times such as feeding, getting
ready to go for a car ride or your arrival
home. It usually only lasts for a couple of
minutes and has mellowed as she has figured
out our routines. Tally is also good with
indoor cats.
Off leash, Tally is amazing about
checking in between running with her doggie
friends. She has gone on camping trips and
loves the adventures, especially when you
end up at a nice place to play in the water.
Tally is working on her house and crate
training, is vaccinated, micro-chipped and
spayed.

He is friendly and catches balls like a champ
and brings it back. Sounds like
he will be a great sport dog (flyball?).

This is Bentley. He is a cross between a Border Collie and Lab.
He had an accident with a car and broke his rear leg.
"Bentley" had surgery to fix his
leg the first part of September 2010 and is doing wonderfully. He is a
sweet dog who loves everyone. Bentley is between 18 months and 2 years
of age. He is a neutered male, fully vaccinated, and the first words
out of the surgeon's mouth when I spoke to him about the surgery was "this
is a really nice dog!" He is very good with other dogs and he is very, very
people oriented. For more information about this great dog, please
contact Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue at

Pip NCAR #674
Five years ago we saved his life.
This Border Collie pup lived in a garage and never got out....ever. He ate,
slept and pooped in the garage. He was only 8 months old when we and some
kind neighbors were able to remove him from his terrible home.
He was completely freaked out in the house with my other dogs and looked for
dark places to hide.
He slowly came around, but he was uncertain about people at best.
Then came Laura to adopt him. She worked with him every day and found that
he loved playing Frisbee and in time, he gained confidence.
Here's a utube video of his performance in a Frisbee competition - he
placed!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPrrvpm0D_8&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Lately, he's gotten aggressive towards the 12 year old lab he's lived with.
No telling what's going on, but he can't be trusted with her. Sadly, Laura
felt she had no choice but to return Pip to us.
This is a great Border Collie and will do well with someone who will give
him plenty of mental stimulation and physical activy. Fostered in Grass
Valley. Contact Kim at
kim@norcalaussierescue.com
Pepper has a "King
of the Hill" way of approaching new situations that may be an
issue with dominant-minded dogs - neutered. When challenged by
another dog, he goes submissive. He plays fetch and responds to the
squeaky toy. Good on leash. Have not yet tested with cats. Medium to
high energy. Anxious at the fence, but is improving. Treat
motivated. About 2 yrs.

Auburn Foster Home
The mom is Ziva. Ziva is very friendly and loves children and other
dogs. She appears to have a bit of hound in her. She would benefit from
training since it does not appear that she has had any. The shelter is
estimating that Ziva is about 4 years old. She is currently at the
Madera County Animal Shelter and would like to get out of jail as soon
as possible. Her impound number is 3934. The Shelter's number is 559-
675-7891 but you can also contact her previous foster parents at
559-658-6316 for more information on her. Her adoption fee is $95.00
which includes her shots, a microchip and her spay surgery.
Name: Dino
Case #: A08309403
Gender: Neutered Male
Age: 1
Primary Breed: Border Collie
Secondary Breed: Mix
Color: Black & White
Adoption Fee: $75.00
Dino is a
beautiful, energetic and happy young Border Collie mix who was brought to
Butte Humane Society as a stray in August of 2009. He is playful and
affectionate and will roll over on his back to get a belly rub. He enjoys
being around people and is so excited to get out of his kennel and go for
walks! Dino probably has not recieved any training or had much experience
with other dogs. He pulls on the leash and does not respond to basic
commands, but he is still young and very eager to learn. With other dogs,
Dino is a little rude and would prefer to go to a home where he would be the
only dog. Due to his energy level and jumping up, we recommend that he go to
a family with children over the age of three. He would make an excellent
match for a physically active home that can provide him with the exercise
and attention he so craves. Adoption $75
These dogs are at the Butte Humane Society in Chico, you can reach Carrie at
530-343-7917 ext 104, or email at

Name: Hannah
Case #: A06413264r
Gender: Spayed Female
Age: 4
Primary Breed: Border Collie
Secondary Breed: Greyhound
Color: Black & White
Adoption Fee: $75.00
Hannah’s
profile was written by her foster mom with whom she is currently staying.
Approved adopters will be able to visit with Hannah:
The day that Hannah was returned to the shelter I was alone in the lobby.
Her owners were completely beside themselves and crying. They told me they
didn’t know how to help Hannah anymore. They loved her but they felt that
she wasn’t in the best place she could be. I volunteered to take her home
and foster her. Before I had a chance to take her, she damaged one of her
back legs badly while trying to escape her kennel. Hannah does not like
being confined, she feels unsafe and anxious when she is without people. We
hoped that the muscle she tore would heal while she was at my house. Over
the next two months my co-workers, roommates, and myself worked on Hannah’s
many quirks. She paces when she panics, has small issues with dogs, and many
fears pertaining to loud noise. We had a lot of success and Hannah grew to
be a staff favorite as she was in the lobby with us every day.
When I took Hannah to her third visit to the vet he gave us two options;
corrective surgery or amputation. The surgery wasn’t going to very effective
so Hannah had her back right leg amputated. I am proud to say that she
recovered beautifully from the amputation. It seemed the dead weight that
was unattached from her body lifted her spirit higher than we’d ever seen.
Soon after she had her stitches removed she made her first canine friend. My
roommate’s amazing chocolate lab, that loves a tennis ball almost as much as
wagging her tail, was the perfect friend for Hannah. They love a good game
of fetch or keep away. As far as other dogs go, I would recommend that she
doesn’t live with any until you get to know her better. We did also have a
six month old foster puppy for a while that she got along with most of the
time. We can introduce your dog though and see how it goes. Calm, people
oriented dogs seem to be the best bet with Hannah.
Hannah still has a fear of loud noises (and always will) but we have found
that she will relax after she gets to know her environment. As long as she’s
not hurting herself, sometimes it’s better to let her pace. Hannah is very
sweet and nothing brings a smile to your face like her little docked tail
wiggling in joy at the prospect of outside time. But beware if you live in
range of gun shots or loud bangs, Hannah will bolt on you. Hannah should do
fine with children above the age of eight. She could knock younger kids over
when she panics and she likes to put her paw on you when she’s happy. It
seems cute but with only one back leg the paw can pack more of a wallop than
intended. She is house trained. Hannah knows some basic commands but has a
stubborn streak in her so it’s anyone’s guess if she actually knows them
all. She’s a smart dog. I think she will pick up anything you want to teach
her. I recommend that you have experience with either border collies and/or
greyhounds. The best home for Hannah would be someone that is retired or
works at home and can be with Hannah most, if not all, of the time. She is
an excellent car companion and would travel well if you wanted to take her
on vacation with you. Hannah also has a great respect for our feline friends
and frankly is a little scared of them. She will be fine with any cats.
Hannah is a very special dog who needs a really special person to love her.
She needs a relaxed, understanding place to call home. She will test your
patience and incur many prime opportunities for a hair loss commercial but
at the end of the day, she is so worth it. Adoption- $75
