Story
Kaiyu was a stray found on the street 5 years ago. He was found to have been shot with a BB gun and still has a couple of BB pellets in him that are not safe to remove. He is very easy to train as he is highly food motivated. He knows most commands and is crate and potty trained. He is always excited to meet people and does well with other dogs. He was found to have an ear polyp in his right ear that is not bothering him and was recently diagnosed with a salivary sialocele that has been managed with steroids. He is an amazing dog that also just likes to lounge around with you all day.

Story
If you love herding dogs and are looking for a velcro dog, Molly is your girl! This sweetheart is absolutely dedicated to her human. Molly will attempt to hug you every second of every minute she is with you. Trying to pick something up off the floor? Nope, you're getting smothered in kisses. Want to go to the bathroom by yourself? Uh un, no you may not shut that door without this sleek little shadow zipping in faster than lightning. Molly was brought to the shelter as a stray, and her coat and behaviors show she was out on a grand adventure for a bit. Now that she is clean and groomed, this black beauty is a cuddle bug who easily redirects from inspecting the trash. Molly needs slow introductions to other dogs and does well with submissive dogs. She does very well with redirection and distraction when she starts to get antsy around other dogs. Really, these behaviors are insecurity of her environment, but she has learned to adapt to pack life quite easily. Her herding instincts are very strong and she loves to play with the herding ball and direct the other dogs in games of chase. Molly has not been tested with cats, but she would likely chase them. She is a little nervous when loose in the car, but rides very well in her kennel. She likes to bark at grey trucks in particular. Molly is approximately 2 years old, is spayed, and is UTD on her vaccinations. She will need an active family who can give her the exercise and mental stimulation this girl needs to thrive!

Poki

Border Collie Australian Cattle Dog

Female, Adult
Carmichael, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Poki is a female Border Collie mix: five years old and spayed, healthy: all shots up to date and on a monthly heartworm/flea preventative. Poki has a lot of energy and high herding drive. She does not get along with other female dogs and small children. She is good with cats. She has tried to herd humans, jumping on them and nipping. She would be best as an only dog with a high energy family. She loves hiking. Poki is obedience trained and also does some basic agility and other tricks. She is really good at fetch and find it and knows sit, stay (not her best) lay down, spin, through, go under, go through, go over/on, jump, release and touch. She crates in the truck (interior) and for sleeping. She goes to the boarder when we are not home with no issues. We love Poki very much, but we have another special needs dog and elders we care for and she only gets limited attention daily. She needs an active family who can deal with her high energy and herding instincts.

Story
Courtesy Listing – Lou Name: Lou Age: 7 months Sex: Neutered male Lou is a young, friendly pup looking for the right home through a courtesy listing. We are thinking he is probably a border collie/terrier mix. He is vaccinated, crate trained, and potty trained, and he does well with other dogs and is kid friendly. We are rehoming Lou due to his prey drive as he has killed a chicken and continues to focused on them, so he will need a home that can safely manage this behavior and does not have small livestock or free-roaming small animals. He currently has no medical concerns. ***Please note: Lou is not located at the shelter and is not under the shelter’s care. This is a courtesy post to help his owner find a suitable placement. All inquiries will be directed to the owner.*** Contact: Lauren laurenblack721@gmail.com If you’re interested in Lou and believe your home may be a good fit, please reach out directly to the owner using the contact information above.  January 21, 2026, 6:48 pm

Story
Koda is a sweet boy and a very loyal dog! He loves staying at the Best Friends Pet Hotel in Carmichael for special occasions. He has had training at Ridgeside K-9 and is a quick learner. He is not a fan of our other dog or my husband. We end up crating him a lot if hubby is home or if we are hosting a lot of people (which is often). Koda would be GREAT in a 1-2 person home, especially with someone who works from home. He loves walks and fetch, especially with a stick at the park. He is great with other dogs, just not our Spaniel!

Story
Bean is one of the funniest, quirky, affectionate loyal dog. She has exceeded my expectations of what a cattle dog should be but dont worry, she doesnt act like the breed. Bean has no interest in farm life, that we know of but in place she has love for chasing the ball and only the ball. Shell sleep all day, be your shadow and will not let you forget that she loves you. She enjoys rough housing and wrestling sometimes more than playing with other dogs. Bean needs patience with public stores but with a mouth lead she walks just fine in there and on the streets. Ive gotten her used to the vest and leash, she doesnt pull or chase anything, mostly keeps watch on the surroundings but Im working on her confidence. Ive had her more than a year, rescued her but as time passes I feel I cant fulfill her emotional and physical needs. She deserves someone who can be home all day with her and spoil her with attention. I have more to write but I promise shes the best girl ever.
