Story
Meet Ezra! 🐾 Ezra is a 6-month-old Husky–Border Collie mix puppy with the sweetest heart. 💙 He was rescued from a high-kill shelter in Lancaster, California, while his siblings were sent to other states now it’s Ezra’s turn to find his forever family. Ezra has been through a lot for such a young pup. Being separated from all his brothers and sisters was traumatizing, and he can be a little shy at first but once he trusts you, he’s the most loving, gentle sweetheart who just wants to be near his people. He’s getting neutered next week and hasn’t been posted on Petfinder yet, but he’s officially available for adoption through Love’s Legacy Rescue. Ezra is doing wonderfully with potty training, walks nicely on a leash, and is crate-trained (he actually loves his crate so much you sometimes have to coax him out!). He gives the best kisses and has a calm, kind presence that melts hearts. He’s been around my two dogs and other fosters and does amazing with them! Ezra truly blossoms when he’s around other dogs, so he’d thrive in a home with another pup or two to help him build confidence and feel secure. We’re currently scheduling meet-and-greets for potential adopters if you’d like to meet this gentle, resilient boy in person, now’s the perfect time! 📩 Reach out to me or contact Love’s Legacy Rescue to start the adoption process.

Story
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

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
Violet is, quite simply, one of a kind! This sweet, goofy girl has charmed her foster family with her personality and love for adventure. After months of gentle socializing, Violet has blossomed, though she still has a sweet, timid side that makes her all the more endearing. She’s happiest exploring new places, going for car rides, and tagging along on trips, where she adjusts like a pro. Violet is also crate trained and incredibly well-mannered. Whether she’s hanging in her crate all day or free roaming around the house, she’s respectful, calm, and doesn’t get into mischief. In fact, her foster family says that out of all their seven pit mixes, Violet is the most well-behaved and easiest of the bunch! She’s a selective socialite when it comes to other dogs—Violet likes her space and prefers dogs who understand her need for personal boundaries. No cats for this girl, and while we’re testing her around kids this weekend, she would thrive in a calm, patient home that appreciates her quirky, gentle nature. If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving, and easygoing companion, Violet might just be your perfect match. She’s ready for a family who will love her as much as her foster family does and keep her life full of the adventures she loves.

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. 🐾❤️
