Story
Sweet Bobo came to us from SF ACC where she was an owner surrender when her owner fell on hard times. Bobo had been with the same owner her entire life and was well-loved, making her transition into the sanctuary even tougher for her. Poor Bobo is confused and grieving losing her person. Despite it all, we see a very sweet and loving girl who loves to be groomed and loved on. Bobo is still acclimating to the changes in her life, so we are still getting to know her, but she reportedly gets along with dogs of all sizes and even puppies. We already are seeing more and more of her darling personality as she settles in. Bobo knew the love and companionship of humans her whole life and seeks her new forever home who can offer her the same!

Story
Howie is the sweetest dog and just wants to please you. I have some health issues and he is a very energetic dog (almost 2) who would be better with a very active owner. We also, unfortunately, have aging parents who require care and are afraid Howie, with all his enthusiasm, will knock them over. He is a super fast learner and is very easy to train. His recall is impressive and always amazes me. He really is a large love bug. We absolutely love him but feel we are failing him in his needs. He does always want to be by your side and will make it clear to you. I have had his DNA checked, and he is half Border Collie and a mix of every other herding dog. So an experienced owner would be best. Howie currently lives with another small dog and loves to play with him but has shown insecurity in meeting other dogs. We are in no rush to rehome Howie as we love him dearly, so please only apply if you are prepared to have a clingy, ride or die best friend.

Zelda will be 5 in March and we adopted her as a rescue dog when she was a puppy. She has gone through training and is well behaved and affectionate. We have loved having Zelda as part of our family and are sad to have to rehome her. This is only due to moving into an apartment after we retired and the landlord wanting us to remove her. Zelda is a loving dog and enjoys walks and runs and dog parks. She is smart, energetic and is good with children.

Story
Bronx was adopted from the Humane Society of Silicon Valley (HSSV) on April 23, 2023. He was 11 weeks old and weighed 9.20 lbs. and presumed to be a Border Collie Mix but staff was unsure what he was mixed with. Since his adoption he has completed the required Puppy Training course provided by HSSV while also receiving continued training by his family. Bronx is potty trained, knows the basic commands (sit, stay, leave it, etc..) but could benefit from more extensive and regular training and strong leadership from pack leader or family. Bronx loves to run, fetch and socialize with other dogs and people. He has been trained to be both on and off leash and responds to commands when off leash; but keep in mind he's still a puppy and sometimes gets distracted and may need commands repeated. Bronx also can get a little over excited when it comes to meeting other dogs and people and may jump on them or at them to greet them. This is something that will need continuous work to be corrected.

Ronald came to us after his owner went through some life changes and could no longer care for him. Ronald was well-loved and used to being with his owner wherever they went so he’s a social butterfly, seeks human attention, gets along with other dogs and even does well with kids! Ronald has dealt with a lot of change in his life lately, but remains a sweet and happy boy. He loves to sniff around the Lily’s dog park, but is sure to check in with the humans periodically to make sure he’s still a good boy (which is most certainly is!). Ronald has gotten the clean bill of health and is ready to find the companionship he knows and misses!

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.  To fill out our adoption application please go here: http://northbaycanine.org/adopting-from-north-bay/ Call: 707-321-5022 or write: lucindalnf@gmail.comDecember 23, 2024, 10:25 pm
