Story
Moose is a 5 1/2 year old rescue Doberman/Bully mix that we’ve had since he was 14 weeks old, but my wife and I recently had twins and are unable to dedicate enough time to giving him the wonderful life he deserves. He’s a very sweet boy who is instantly best friends with every person he meets, however he does have a history of dog reactivity and currently takes medication for anxiety. He’s able to interact and play with big dogs in a controlled environment with proper introduction, but may not do well with small dogs. He does well with older children (10+) and loves to play in the yard, however walks can be over-stimulating for him and can trigger his fear of other dogs. He is potty trained, trick trained, and takes to training well. We’re looking for experienced dog owners with some understanding of reactivity to give him a forever home.

Story
We took Fritz into our home from a previous family who was trying to rehome him. They already had a dog and that dog did not like Fritz. He’s very sweet, enjoys playing with dogs, likes kids. He does bark while on leash but he will take treats and sit. It’s helpful to have treats while walking. He’s still very young and energetic. He would do well in a home that is active. He needs exercise and he enjoys playing with toys.

Story
Cattle Dog mix, femaleClaire is a 2 year old heeler mix with a cute little naturally bobbed tail.  Claire is great sport. Nice girl. Easy going. Totally nice with other dogs.  With so many dogs at the rescue right now, it's good to have a sensible adult dog join the pack! Claire was able to be off leash right away and took her cues from the resident dogs.  Claire is a bit of a heeler mix. Her head looks like border collie. Claire is spayed, chipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Claire is in Templeton, CA More photos and updates:  https://www.facebook.com/www.cchdrescue.org/  search in posts and photo albums.

Story
Aussie mix, femaleChica is a 4-yr old, 59 lbs. Aussie mix, probably with German Shepherd. She came in from Kern County. No room there for a big girl.  She's absolutely lovely with my dogs. And went without saying, she's very respectful of people. Gentle too. Doesn't jump, very nice on leash.  Chica needed some exercise and attention.  She's got a routine. She knows where she's eating, sleeping, walking. She hasn’t been on an off leash walk yet, but you can tell it's imminent. It's just that she didn't know this name. But she sees the whistle brings everyone. So we're doing long line recall with the whistle on our walks. She's doing great!  Chica is spayed, chipped, and up to date on vaccines. Chica is in Templeton. More photos and updates:  https://www.facebook.com/www.cchdrescue.org/  search in posts and photo albums.

Story
Border Collie mix puppy, maleMeet Manny, Moe, and Jack; a trio of 14 week old Border Collie mix pups. They have huge paws, and could be Pyrenees mixes. No rear dew claws, but they have the look.  The boys, along with their mom, Belle. They were found locked in a cemetery in Taft and were rescued by a large, organized, grass roots group, and we were tracked down to take them. The boys are just great! They are soft and sweet. totally confident and outgoing. Not all claws and teeth either, they have soft dispositions, except with each other! They play hard!  They are learning to coexist with a lot of other well-balanced dogs. Moe is chipped and up to date on vaccinations.  He can go home on a neuter contract. Moe is in Templeton, CA.
