Story
This sweet bonded pair ended up at the Kern County Shelter after their human passed away. They had been with her since they were young and were very well-loved family members. Sadly, they started shutting down at the shelter, but luckily a kind foster stepped up and cared for them for several months before having to go oversees to care for family. That’s when Harli & Bear made their journey to Lily’s, first spending time with a temporary foster and now with a long-term foster until they find their forever home (hopefully soon!). With all the changes in their life, understandably, Harli & Bear take some time to warm up to new people. Once they do, they spend most of their day lounging. Bear loves toys and won’t go anywhere without his stuffy. He’s attentive to his sister, Harli who is a little more shy, keeping an eye out for her, never going too far. In one of their foster homes, they had 5 resident doggy siblings and did well but would prefer a smaller pack with maybe one other dog so they can get all the attention they deserve. Despite all they’ve been through, these two remain total sweethearts, looking for their new furever home to call their own. They have received rave reviews from their fosters on how easy and lovable they remain. Here’s what one of their fosters had to say: "These two are the most adorable bonded pair I have ever seen. Harli is sweet and shy. She is often afraid to go outside to greet my other dogs, so Bear will be by her side and he is her best bud and will always be with her. I have seen him give her kisses on the face to reassure her. They are an easy pair. They want mostly to be with their person and to have their bellies rubbed or their back scratched. They are not aggressive. They eat their food together peacefully and do not guard their food or toys. Wherever they go, their new guardian would be so incredibly lucky to have them. I have only fostered them for six days and already love them so much. They're an easy loving pair. Please consider adopting them. You will love them!"

Story
Shady loves to fetch and play with stuffed animals. She is house trained, crate trained and will go to her crate when told. She wants to learn and please her person. She does get excited and jumps up so we have been working on that. My family took in Shady when my mom couldn’t care for her anymore. We didn’t want her to have to spend anytime in a shelter. Unfortunately, we can’t keep her because we have other pets and they are not getting along. Her adoption fee is negotiable.

We were able to rescue Ella Mae from being put to sleep and she's safe and happy with her foster. Would you consider adopting her? Her foster says: Meet Ella Mae your new best friend waiting to happen! Ella Mae is a total sweetheart with a heart full of love. She adores her people and will happily follow you around the house, always hoping for cuddles and connection. Shes friendly with adults and wonderful with young kids, making her a great companion for a family looking for a gentle, affectionate dog. Shes still learning to feel confident around new dogs and cats she meets on walks, but shes come a long way. With slow introductions and patience, shes learned to get along and even play with her foster brother, a Shiba Inu. Shell continue to thrive in a home that gives her positive guidance and reassurance. Ella Mae is an easygoing, calm girl who loves pets, belly rubs, and hanging out. She enjoys relaxing in the backyard, sunbathing, and chasing squirrels (her favorite pastime!). Shes also very food-motivated and LOVES treats, which makes training fun and easy. Shes crate-trained, house broken, knows some commands, has good recall, and overall brings a joyful, happy energy wherever she goes.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Sibyl the border collie mix used to live on a farm and spend her days exploring wild and free. For this next chapter of her life, she's ready to settle down a bit. Sibyl weighs about 60lbs but is overweight and should weigh closer to 40lbs. She enjoys leisurely strolls, long naps, and human affection. She's lived with other dogs and could go home with a well-matched buddy. Sibyl is a sweet dog who finds shelter life quite stressful so would do best with an empathetic and patient adopter who can let her adjust on her own terms. We know she'll soon be back to her happy-go-lucky self. Call our adoptions team at 707-542-0882 to learn more about sweet Sibyl.

Story
Jax came to us as an owner surrender after his humans went through some life changes. Jax has been an adaptable guy, quietly taking in all of his new surroundings. Jax has had a lot of change in his life and understandably, he takes some time to warm up to new people. Once he does, he likes to be nearby, quietly following behind. So far, Jax has been a quiet, go-with-the-flow guy. He loves his barn time with his favorite cuddlers and has found a safe, corner spot where he perches and observes his surroundings. With each day, he’s getting more and more confident and we can’t wait to see more of the true Jax!

Story
Please contact Lucinda (lucinda@northbaycanine.org) for more information about this pet.North bay Canine Rescue and Placement  To fill out our adoption application please go here: http://northbaycanine.org/adopting-from-north-bay/  PUPPY So smart and cuddly. Ready to learn. Loves people. Red Speckled Australian Stumpy Tailed/Cattle dog mix Contact Hollie 707-321-5022 or dollielamafarm [at] yahoo [dot] com  Puppy is a handsome, red Stumpy Tail Australian Cattle Dog (Heeler) mix. He was picked up as a stray on July 30th. We thought he would be claimed quickly bc he was so sweet and good looking.  That is why we didn’t name him. We have called a variety of names: (full) Monty, Dingo Boy, Mr. Camo-Pants… mostly just “Puppy”.  The vet estimates him to be about 11 months old (11/20/2024) presently.  Puppy is aggressively friendly. He wants to say hi to every person and animal we come across on our walks or who comes to the house. He’s quite cheerful, smart, and eager to learn. What little training I have done with him is with the assistance of treat rewards.  He loves to be outside - running around, grazing on grass, or just sitting in the sunshine. Mornings are his active time requiring a good deal of attention, and he seems to settle down for naps more easily in the afternoon. In the evening he likes to sit with family on the couch to watch TV and get belly rubs. That said, he doesn’t quite grasp the concept of personal space. He believes himself to be a cat-sized lap dog.  Speaking of cats, we have an older female who confines herself to the master bedroom. Puppy will want to go in and say hi. She responds with hissing, meowing, and swiping if he gets too close. It did not look as if he wanted to attack her at all. He’s just curious.  He can be left home alone for a few hours during the day. This only happens about once every couple weeks. As far as toys go, he’s destroyed and tried to eat all things furry within hours. We limit him to Nyla bones and a couple of hard to destroy balls.  We put him in a kennel to sleep at night. He resists going in but doesn’t complain for the rest of the time once he’s in. He does great on a people bed, too, but wants to be let out too early in the morning for my grown kids’ taste when they’re here. He will tolerate a shower but doesn’t care to be towel dried.  Puppy is housebroken, neutered, and vaccinated (not chipped).He deserves a good home with someone to give him attention, training, enrichment, companionship, and room to run.   March 10, 2025, 11:51 pm
