My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Mixed breed male

Re-introducing Atlas. This handsome fellow was found by a Good Samaritan way back in February when he was just a wee pup.

Atlas suffered a broken pelvis after being hit by a car, but has since recovered. He does have a slightly abnormal gait but X-rays show that everything has set, no further intervention is needed. He’s a happy and playful brindle boy - not our typical breed makeup here at CCHDR but a good one nonetheless.

Atlas is people, dog, and CAT friendly. Because he’s mixed with so many different breeds, he’s got the best of all worlds. He has a super sweet and calm demeanor and been raised by the best foster mom, so we know he’s got a solid foundation. He’s housebroken, crate trained, knows basic commands and more!

Atlas is now a 1 year old, 70lb, valley special. Located in Tranquillity, CA but his foster would be willing to travel a few hours in any direction for a serious, qualified adopter.

More about this rescue

Central Coast Herding Dog Rescue is a Rescue Alliance partner, a federally recognized 501(c)3 non profit organization dedicated to finding great dogs great homes. County of San Luis Obispo Animal Service Operating Permit #C2649

Central Coast Border Collie Rescue (CCHDRescue) is dedicated to helping find homes for Border Collie, Australian Shepherd, Australian Cattle Dog/Queensland Heeler, Australian Kelpie, and other herding breeds and mixes. This site lists dogs in shelters as well as dogs in homes and foster care, and is intended to help adopters seeking good dogs, and dogs seeking loving homes. 7

Why we do it: Herding dogs are not for every one. Too many adopters get these dogs as status symbols only to find out, their life style doesn't meet these high energy dogs needs. As a result, these wonderful misunderstood dogs wind up in shelters. We understand what drives these dogs, we can place them appropriately.
Our mission is to educate people and save dogs. We do it because we love these dogs, with a little effort, can give them a good new life. Euthanasia is not the solution to our animal overpopulation issue. Education is.
