Owner Listed Aussies
View the dogs below. Click on their pictures to see a larger image. The links above will take you through our different categories of listings: foster, shelter, owner-listed and mixes. If you would like to meet Foster or Owner Listed dogs with the hope of finding a new family member, please fill out an adoption application and we will contact you. Please do not call to ask about a dog without first filling out an adoption application. Owner listed dogs have met the written evaluation standards required by NCAR. Owner listed dogs have not been temperament tested by NorCal Aussie Rescue volunteers unless stated otherwise. Dogs posted that are fostered by other rescue organizations such as MILO or ARPH are likely to have been temperament tested by a representative from that organization. We recommend that you inquire with the contact.

HANNAH
Hanna turned 9 years young on November 14, 2011. She's a red tri bred by Woodstock Aussies. She's 49 pounds, is in excellent shape, crate trained and has had both obedience and agility training. She has a few titles from CPE and Nadac, and has been herding instinct tested on sheep 3 times and loved it. She loves to go hiking and swimming in lakes She knows: Sit, stay down, come leave it, Go kennel, outside, and chases a ball or Frisbee till she drops! Hannah loves children of all ages and was raised in a home that does daycare - she loves attention from children.

Hannah has always been the alpha since about 1 year of age and has tried to let the other dogs in her home know it every chance she gets. For the most part they have lived together ok but occasionally she will pick a fight with any of the other dogs over objects. The last several months the fights have escalated and her owner knows that Hannah should be an only dog and asked us to help rehome her. Hannah has a happy attitude and goofy personality when she is by herself with her people. She would do well with someone who likes agility, or wants a well trained, activity partner. No cats. Hannah is in Rescue, CA. Application required.

Timmy
Timmy turned 11 years old on August 12, 2011. He's a loving, 60 pound Aussie/Border Collie who lived with a woman who passed away. He's a gorgeous red merle with his tail who was originally adopted from a shelter.

For the first 10 years of Timmy's life he was raised like a person i.e. fed people food, allowed on the couch, slept on the bed with his owner, and pretty much allowed to do as he pleased. Since his original owner passed away about a year ago, he has become increasingly restricted. For the past 6 months, he has been living outside in a dog run with little to no attention. He LOVES people and is an incredibly social dog. He needs plenty of love and attention which I am unfortunately he doesn't get in his new home. He has lived with 4 different cats (2 at a time), whom he has been mostly indifferent too. However, if they run from him, he has become curious and will chase them. He loves to play catch and fetch, and loves car rides and long walks. Timmy is in Sacramento. Application Required.

Toby
Toby turned 3 on November 4, 2011. He's a stunning 55 pound blue merle who has not been formerly trained, but knows many commands and loves to fly high to catch his Frisbee. He was recently shaved - so his coat is growing out.

He's above average energy, likes children and touches their noses with his nose, likes car rides, and loves to be near his person. He will counter surf and get into the garbage if he can...but corrects easily. He lives with an older female Aussie and with indoor cats. He's been around horses too. Toby is in Ben Lomand. Application required.

Hunter
Hunter is an 11 month old, 60 pound, very athletic Aussie mix who was purchased by an elderly couple as a puppy. He is now WAY too much for them and needs an experienced, energetic person to give him daily training and exercise that he needs. He's UBER friendly, can jump a 5 foot wall and is desperate for attention and running exercise. This is a nice boy. Hunter is in Dixon. Application Required.

Mixes
Sparky
Sparky is a 3 year old, neutered, 65 pound herding mix who is sweet and loving. He’s athletic, knows basic commands, quiet in the car, housebroken and loves the two girls in his home, ages 6 and 10.

He lives with a dominant German Shepherd, a Bishon and a Chihuahua. The German Shepherd constantly pushes him away from his owners when he’s getting any attention, so we’re looking for a new home for him where he will be able to get the loving he deserves. This is a nice boy who was adopted from a shelter as a puppy and has had excellent vet care and is in tip top shape. Sparky is near Grass Valley.

Bailey
Bailey is a loyal, beautiful Aussie mix who turns 10 on Thanksgiving. She weighs about 60 pounds, and we adopted her from the Fresno SPCA when she was only a few months old. She was raised with my son, 2 cats and 2 other dogs and a very busy household. During the last several years, she’s made it clear she does not want to live with other dogs, and she has begun stalking the cats. We’ve moved away from the home she’s known for 9 years, adopted two new dogs and cats, and her life style has been disrupted. She clearly isn’t adapting well. She picks fights with our Aussie, she’s stalking the cats, and she nipped at a delivery man walking past us. No contact, but still strange behavior for her. We now keep her in our bedroom now when visitors come by, and never leave her alone with the other dogs. She’s basically made it clear she wants to be an only dog. It breaks our hearts to rehome her, but know it’s best for her and our other animals.

She is very good off leash. Comes when called, knows sit and stay. Is housebroken and has never had an accident in the house. She is easy to be around and is very happy to just hang out with you inside or outside. She enjoys moderate to easy walking. She will just hunker down on long car trips and lay quietly. She has a beautiful soft thick hair coat and beautiful blue eyes. Her perfect home would be where she’s a companion for a person in a relatively quiet home environment, and have no small animals or children around.

Bailey is in Selma, Oregon.
