Story
I’m Kal‑El,. a 3.5‑year‑old black Border Collie mix of about 70 lbs of earnest devotion. I’m a big softie who adores butt scratches, quiet walks, and being near you. My crate is my cozy den where I go to decompress and ponder life’s big questions. New people, fast movements, or unclear situations can feel overwhelming, and I’be made choices I’m not proud of. I've snapped at family members and, a couple of times, nipped strangers. I’m not trying to be tough; I just need someone who can help me when I’’m worried. I’m smart and respond to calm leadership, clear expectations, and predictable routines. I’ve been working with a trainer and have made great progress through consistent training and behavior‑modification. I enjoy other dogs and play nicely with those I know, though can be a little protective. Thoughtful introductions and steady boundaries help. I’m hoping for a calm adult home with steady leadership and clear routines where a worried pup feels safe and can be the best companion.

Story
This sweet bonded pair ended up at the Kern County Shelter after their human passed away. They had been with her since they were young and were very well-loved family members. Sadly, they started shutting down at the shelter, but luckily a kind foster stepped up and cared for them for several months before having to go oversees to care for family. That’s when Harli & Bear made their journey to Lily’s, first spending time with a temporary foster and now with a long-term foster until they find their forever home (hopefully soon!). With all the changes in their life, understandably, Harli & Bear take some time to warm up to new people. Once they do, they spend most of their day lounging, wanting to be near their humans. Bear loves toys and won’t go anywhere without his stuffy. He is curious and a bit more reserved than Harli. But once settled, he sure loves his belly rubs! While she can be shy at first, Harli is a couch potato and a “go with the flow” kind of gal, just happy to be a part of the crowd. Both are learning confidence in their foster home, slowly learning to greet new people and open up. They both get along well with other dogs. In one of their foster homes, they had 5 resident doggy siblings and did well but would prefer a smaller pack at home with maybe one other dog so they can get all the attention they deserve. The pair have been working to befriend the resident cat, waiting and hoping at the top of the stairs that the cat will appear and want to play. While the resident cat isn’t quite as into his new friends, they are beginning to slowly win him over with time and persistence! Despite all they’ve been through, these two remain sweet and gentle dogs, looking for their new furever home to call their own. They have received rave reviews from their fosters on how easy and lovable they remain. Here’s what one of their fosters had to say: "These two are the most adorable bonded pair I have ever seen. Harli is sweet and shy. She is often afraid to go outside to greet my other dogs, so Bear will be by her side and he is her best bud and will always be with her. I have seen him give her kisses on the face to reassure her. They are an easy pair. They want mostly to be with their person and to have their bellies rubbed or their back scratched. They are not aggressive. They eat their food together peacefully and do not guard their food or toys. Wherever they go, their new guardian would be so incredibly lucky to have them. I have only fostered them for six days and already love them so much. They're an easy loving pair. Please consider adopting them. You will love them!"

Story
Sweet, loyal, adventurous. We are looking for a forever home for this sweet girl. She is almost 3 months old and at the ideal age for bonding and early training. She loves to explore and play- she is always happy chase you around and will likely follow you anywhere you go. She is also always happy to get cuddles. She has grown up with other dogs, and is well socialized. She is great with young kids too. She loves attention and it would be great for her to go to a home with another dog, so she has a friend/playmate/companion, but not required. It would also be best for her to have a home with a yard, as she loves to explore. She is not spayed yet, but is up-to-date on vaccinations. No special needs. This sweet girl is still young, so she will need an owner with some patience and time, but in return she will become your new best friend.

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.

Story
Meet Cooper! Cooper is a sweet, gentle soul with a calm presence and a heart full of love. This 7-year-old Border Collie mix came in as a stray, but it’s clear he’s had a home before; he’s well-mannered, attentive, and ready to settle right back into family life.You’ll often find Cooper waiting at the front of his kennel with a soft wagging tail, happy to greet new friends. He’s easy to leash, walks nicely by your side, and is very tolerant of handling; he enjoys being pet all over and takes treats gently. He even knows “sit” and may have a few more tricks up his sleeve! Cooper has a calm and easygoing personality, making him a great match for someone looking for a more relaxed companion. He does have a vocal side and may bark or make little whining noises to communicate, adding to his charming personality. When it comes to other dogs, Cooper shows polite interest but seems to prefer a slower pace. He may feel a bit unsure around more energetic or playful dogs, so he would likely do best with a calm canine companion. A dog-to-dog meet is recommended to ensure a good fit. Overall, Cooper is a kind, well-behaved boy who would love a peaceful home where he can enjoy companionship, gentle walks, and plenty of affection. If you’re looking for a loyal, mellow friend to share your days with, Cooper could be the perfect addition to your family!

Meet Tanner! He was found in Healdsburg abandoned in a crate. This rough start to life has left him a little hesitant of the world. Despite this, he is learning and growing every day in foster care. He gets along very well with other dogs & would prefer a canine companion in his future home. He is currently in a foster home with cats & another dog and gets along well with them. He loves toys, any type of treat, zoomies, and taking long naps! He is a sweet boy that seeks affection from both of his foster parents. Tanner will need someone that is patient while he`s still learning & a more expierenced home.
