Story
Indiana Jones AKA Jonsey Contact: Sharon 707-823-2342  Indiana Jones, aka 'Jonsey' is a sweet young (approx. 10mos) old neutered male cattle dog mix. Jonsey is very dog social & plays well with others. He's on the smaller side, maybe 30+ lbs. Jonsey was found with his sibling & the good Samaritan couldn’t keep both, so got Jonsey to a boarding kennel. Jonsey is a quiet guy, compared to some cattle dogs that can have a shrill & annoying bark. He is almost housebroken, which is hard, living in a kennel. Jonsey will be a great companion for someone patient, quiet, & willing to guide him along. Before coming to the kennel, Jonsey may have very well, never been inside. He is still tentative of loud noises, & unfamiliar places. He's coming leaps & bounds & loves all the folks who care for him. Jonsey will thrive in his own home.January 21, 2026, 12:10 am

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

Story
Meet Wally – The Happiest Aussie Around! 🐶☀️ Wally is a jolly, joyful Australian Shepherd with a heart as big as his smile! His journey hasn’t been the smoothest—rescued from a shelter somewhere in LA, he was quickly pulled by a less-than-reputable rescue and left in boarding without a second thought. But despite the bumps in the road, Wally never let it dim his light. This boy is pure sunshine. Wally is friendly with everyone he meets—dogs, people, you name it. He’s super affectionate, loves to be near his humans, and has that lovable Aussie charm that wins hearts fast. He doesn’t bark much, he just wants to spread joy and soak up love wherever he can. Wally is also dog-friendly, making him a great fit for homes with other pups. His energy is upbeat without being over the top, and his sweet, easygoing personality makes him a dream companion. Wally’s ready for a fresh start—one where he’s truly part of a family, not just passed through. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving buddy who’ll brighten every day with a wag and a cuddle, Wally is waiting with open paws. Come meet Wally—the happy heart you didn’t know you needed. 🐾❤️
