Story
Tawny was a shelter favorite and had an upper respiratory infection which is a death sentence in high kill shelters. She was fostered at the last minute by a wonderful person who saved Tawny's life. We pulled her and are looking for that perfect home where Tawny can enjoy being a doggy for the first time. She is in foster care now with four other dogs and doing wonderfully. She is super fun, loves to play...waiting for that first trip to the beach so she canb live up to her Facebook page Tawny at the Beach! We've got Tawny as an Australian Kelpie mix but she is fostered with a Rhodesian Ridgeback and looks like a teacup model. See for yourself. Give us a call today and find out about our foster to adopt program and holistic care and support. Nobody ever needs a vet with our herbal and homeopathic supplements and good nutritious diet. Tawny is ready to meet her new family and get going on the beach!

Story
Marigold is as sweet a dog as they come. She is in a high kill shelter and we are the reason. We pulled and placed her brother and sister and did not know Marigold was left behind. We have run out of Bay Area foster homes and would love to find a great foster (adopter better yet) in the Bay Area. Please take a second look at this sweet 35 pounder. Marigold is smart, very will-to-please, treat oriented, loves cuddles but also a great outdoors dog who will make an incredible hiking partner and all around pal. If you are looking for a dog friendly, people friendly pet who is fun outdoors and chill inside watching tv, then contact us to find out more about sweet Marigold. Ask about our incredible foster to adopt program and how we use nutrition and inexpensive holistic support so that nobody ever needs an exprensive vet! We've got over 20 years experience and the healthy dogs to show for it. Give us a call today to find out more about Marigold.

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
