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.

Story
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: Ella Mae is doing very well. She is a really good dog and very quiet. She is friendly with people. We're not sure about dogs yet. She would stop and look at other dogs but she doesn't bark or react to them. She is working on leash walking and meeting more dogs. She loves getting pets and loves people! She is very calm and enjoys napping and cuddling. Please visit our website www.wonderdogrescue.org to apply and learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.

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

Story
Please contact Lucinda (lucinda@northbaycanine.org) for more information about this pet.This animal is at North bay Canine Rescue and Placement  Ella aka El, is a very special pup, looking for a very special home.   She loves her person unconditionally, but is fearful of everyone else.  She's looking for a home with little to no people traffic, or high intensity household chaos.  El is incredibly smart, funny, playful, charming, affectionate & overall adorable.  She's just afraid of her own shadow.  El's had basic obedience, is great on a leash & loves to go out for walks or hikes.  She hasn't had much car time & so far doesn't seem to be fond of it.  She's got a bit of drive, so most likely wont be good (loose)with Livestock, chickens, or goats.  She is fine with cats tho, & is pals with the 2 Weimaraner dogs she's gotten to know.  She would make an awesome hiking partner, as she's small (35+#), and agile & fit.  Ella is in a home with a lot of people traffic currently & is coping, but we feel we can do better for her.  She is house broken, crate trained & a wonderful girl.  Call: 707-321-5022 or write: lucindalnf@gmail.comJuly 29, 2025, 7:29 pm
