Story
We adopted Bailey from the local shelter 2 months ago. She is super smart, sweet and playful, loving and gentle with our cat. However, we have very busy lives and can't raise a puppy at this time. She needs proper socialization because she is fearful and reactive based on this but once she gets puppy classes and lots of time to feel confident with other people/kids/animals she will be a perfect dog. Likes baths, agility activities, obeys basic commands, likes snuggling up, belly rubs, long naps. She sleeps through many nights from 9pm-6am but sometimes needs to go out. She potties well when asked. 4 months old, should have experienced puppy training to keep her on the path to perfect companion.

Story
Chino is a good dog for the right home, but he has two flaws: he doesn't care to share an environment with any other dogs, and he can escape from almost any confinement. Since we like Border Collies in general, and since he was "overdue" at his animal shelter one day when we were there picking up another dog, he was also chosen and saved. We quickly learned that the part of Chino that is not Border Collie is probably one of the tundra breeds like Malamute, because we had to fully enclose every inch of his kennel to keep him in. (This was after he escaped from four previous attempts to kennel him.) The good news is that after escaping he only wanted to stay by the side of his human friends here at the rescue, so he'll need a pretty much constant human companion. Chino is about 3 years old and weighs about 80 pounds.

Female, Young

Story
Blissy is a 1-year-old (as of February 1, 2024) mixed breed pup whose owner had to relinquish her due to incompatibility with her other female dog, the "alpha" dog in the home. Blissy did well with the two male dogs, and in our experience here she has done well with another female that is not a dominant girl. We think she is probably Shepherd-Border Collie or some such mix, and she's incredibly smart. Blissy "play-nips" gently when excited, which makes us think Border Collie or some other herding breed may be in her gene pool. She's mostly housebroken, knows many commands (typically having to be told only once), aims to please, and loves long walks. Her ex-owner says Blissy "is an absolutely wonderful dog" whom she will greatly miss.
