JAKE NEEDS A HOME!

Jake is a Border Collie looking for a buddy. He is a young 8 year old, who is neutered, heartworm

negative, and all shots up to date. He is currently being fostered at Herding 4 Ewe in Vacaville, California.

His owner passed away last year and the family had no place for him. He is a very sweet boy who

desperately wants to be someone’s companion.  He is crate trained, good in a kennel, but has never been in

a house. Jake is eager to learn and willing to please, so house training should not be a problem.

Since being fostered, Jake has learned basic manners. He was never abused but had little or no

training prior to coming to Herding 4 Ewe. He still has a lot of life in him and needs his own person to

love.  If you know of anyone who would be willing to give this happy boy the home he deserves please

contact Debbie at Herding4u@aol.com

Sam is a Border Collie/Corgi (we are guessing) that we found on the
side of the road. He is an awesome dog! We love him and wish we could keep
him but he doesn't do well around our horses. He
is house broken and trained...but doesn't do well off leash (he forgets to
listen). He is neutered,
vaccinated and he is ready for a new home.  He
loves kids, cats, other dogs...this dog is what every family wants in a
dog...and he just wants a family to call his own.

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 adoptions@buttehumane.org

 

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
