Chance
Chance is one lucky 10 year old boy! He came to us via an animal shelter. Chance was a over enthused about herding anything that moves with the family's small children. Susa offered to help with fostering Chance. He was placed in her home on our "foster-to-adopt" program which helps gets these Shelties into safe foster homes with the foster mom/dad having the first option to adopt the Sheltie. That's what happened with Chance. Susan has made their arrangement permanent!

Coby
Coby's coat is getting better, we brush him everyday and gets lots of hair off. The vet loved him when we went a couple of weeks ago, said he was one of the calmest dogs she had ever met. He has his microchip, and is registered with the city. We are taking him back to the vet next weekend for a follow up, to get him weighed and to take care of a few other things.
He is adjusting so well. He has started being more vocal and playful which we love, and it is clear that he loves his house and feels very protective over it! Thanks again for matching us up with such a great dog! We love him very much and are enjoying him immensely.

Teddy
Hi, saw the newsletter for sheltie rescue.. and thought maybe for your next newsletter you might want a photo of Teddy who we rescued, fostered, then adopted from NorCal Sheltie Rescue. We love him so much.. I really can't understand how he could be found just wandering the streets of Taft, and no one was looking for him. Teddy is amazing -- full of personality. . . thank you for all your help on to allow us to keep him!!

Dekota
I love Dekota. We have had some rocky moments (and ruined carpeting), but he has taken my heart. He's saved Charisse. Looking back, without him, now, she would've withered away. There's a new calm about him (don't get me wrong, he's feisty). But I think he finally feels more at home. He is just a remarkable sheltie. Worthy of his breed, for sure. Thank you all for caring so much for shelties. They are the best! And Dekota is a champion.
Thank you, Jeanne L.

Terra
Terra is such a sweet and loving dog. She's also quite the character, with a mind of her own. At times we wonder if her name is Terra or Terror. She makes us laugh everyday. Terra loves her walks and follows us around the house; she likes to keep her ducks in a row. She is very healthy and happy and has filled our hearts. We wish you continued success in placing this beautiful breed into loving homes.

Jack
Hi,
I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you and NorCal Sheltie Rescue and give you an update on Jack! He has turned out to be a very social guy! He loves people and other dogs. The highlight of his day is his walk thru the neighborhood. He really looks forward to seeing all his human and doggie friends. He is no longer fearful of people and new situations! He loves to make new friends!
Jack has figured out which of his human friends carry doggie treats with them. He spies them from blocks away and prances up to them with his tail wagging and sits down to patiently wait for his treat. People comment all the time on his calm demeanor. I know he will make a fantastic therapy dog and I hope to get him into a certification class soon so we will be able to visit hospitals and retirement homes.
I took Jack on a road trip up the coast on Hwy 1 this past September. He was such a good traveler! We stayed in dog friendly hotels and ate at restaurants that welcomed dogs. He was quite the hit with other travelers everywhere we went.
Thanks again,
Maureen

Skipper
Skipper is just doing “great”! He’s definitely become accustomed to the different routine of living here: hanging out with our other 2 shelties, being hyper-alert to the wildlife that we see from our windows (and sometimes “at” the windows!), and being the ever-vigilant watch dog, barking at any newcomer. He gets multiple rounds of exercise each day: the kids love to take him on walks, and he has great stamina - he’s been on some good hikes and never gets tired out on the trail. Most days I take him to work with me, which he loves, because that means he gets several more walks throughout the day.
We’ve been working on his leash skills, and he’s a joy to walk. We’ve also already started a group obedience class, which emphasizes good group behavior and ultimately off-leash training.
I should also mention that people at the two different offices I take him to just “love” him. Partly that’s because he is very well-behaved when on leash with me, and people appreciate seeing a well-mannered dog. Obviously that’s a testament to his former owners - I tell people that I can’t take any credit for that, that he came to us that way. I do think the sheer quantity of time we’re spending with him in so many different environments helps bring out the best in him. Skipper was obviously raised with love. He is getting tons of exercise, stimulation, and affection.

Tug (now known as Coltrane)
Found wandering the streets of Sacramento, this boy landed in the shelter, where NorCal Sheltie Rescue was able to pick him up. Foster mom gave him the name “Tug” because he loved to play “tug of war.” A very happy and energetic Sheltie, he soon transferred to his new home with Nick and Michelle and his canine buddy Pilot. He’s now known as “Coltrane.”

Bella
This very petite tricolor female came to us from a military family having to relocate. She had been intimidated by the two larger male dogs in the household and was becoming extremely anxious. Once in the care of her foster parents, Devora and Richard, she began to thrive. Her Sheltie brother Oscar was a big help, but most of the credit goes to her humans for getting her into training (agility), going for walks, hikes, and rides, and giving her the love and attention she desperately needed.

Denny
One of our volunteers adopted this beautiful and distinctive male from a rescue organization, thinking she had found the perfect companion for her Collie. However, the match was not ideal, due primarily to the difference in energy levels of the two dogs. The volunteer knew that NorCal Sheltie Rescue would find a better home for Denny, who turned out to be older than advertised. He quickly found his new home with a retired couple with no other pets; consequently, he’s king of the household. He goes for lots of walks and sleeps with his humans. He’s a lovely dog, in every way, and totally content.

Honey
Honey came into NorCal Sheltie Rescue when her owners struggled with serious health issues. She was becoming more and more fearful and anxious due to the stress in the household. Once in her foster home, she soon settled into calm routines and quickly charmed her humans. Before long, Rosa and Daryl decided to adopt her. She now travels in the R.V. with them, goes for regular walks, and gives unconditional love.

Toby
When his owners could no longer care for him, due to health issues, Toby was surrendered to NorCal Sheltie Rescue. He needed quite a bit of vet care initially but was soon feeling healthy again. His foster parents didn’t take long to welcome him permanently into their family. He’s now thriving and living the good life in northern California with Steve and Eileen.

Mandi
A young female with LOTS of Sheltie energy, Mandi came to us from a person who realized that Mandi’s high energy exceeded her ability to give Mandi the exercise outlets she needed. Mandi is now in a great home with another herding breed doggie who loves to play, run and be silly as much as Mandi does! Another requirement was an adopter committed to multiple training courses to ensure Mandi’s long term well being. Another great match by our Adoption Coordinator!

Ted's Incredible Journey
April 2021
In November of 2016, NorCal Sheltie Rescue, Inc. received an inquiry about a Sheltie named Ted that needed a home. Of course we said we’d take him into our program. Then we found out that he lived in Idaho!
His story is unique. He was a stray, wandering the snowy fields in Idaho during the dead of winter. He was found by an all-breed rescuer who nurtured and vet-ted him, then placed him in a family home. A couple of weeks later, he bolted out the front door when missionaries arrived at the house, unannounced. He was on the run again, still in the dead of winter. Several weeks went by and res-cuers were losing hope. One day he reappeared in the vicinity of his first res-cuer, who promptly took him in. After a short stay to ensure his health, Ted was ready to go to his permanent home. Fortunately, one of the volunteers in Idaho was planning a trip to northern California and offered to bring Ted to us.
In his first foster home, he was completely vetted and well cared for. But he was very nervous, especially around his foster dad. Reluctantly, the foster parents decided not to adopt him. His next home was with Lea the human and Tula the terrier, and Ted was happy. He adjusted quickly and formed a tight bond with Tula, growing accustomed to the routines of good health, exercise, attention, love, and play. He recently spent a few months in Rhode Island, clearly remembering his days in the snow. But he’s back in California now, for good - no more escapes, no more snow and ice, and no more lonely times.

Ginger and Cookie

Ginger (bi-black) and Cookie (sable-white) are both 6+ years old. They’ve been together since their owner bought them as puppies while working in South Korea. He travels a great deal and realized that the best for them was to ask NCSR to help find them a place together with adopters who could be home with them. Luz and Bob fill that bill beautifully and are delighted to call these two beauties their own!

Finn
Posted: February 2022
Finn LOVES to play ball and runs like a puppy. He follows us closely when we are maintaining the orchard and has become an expert at spotting fresh gopher mounds. He also takes great delight in keeping the yard bird-free. Finn continues to hone his watch-dog skills and no longer barks at our letter carrier, garbage trucks or trains. He gently alerts us to "suspicious" activities with low growls. Occasionally, Finn goes to the office with Charles and out to dinner with us downtown and is slowly becoming less wary of strangers. He IS our loving companion and forever family member.

Cookie
Posted: December 2023
Cookie was cautious at first around us, but in no time at all, she settled in, became friends with our 15-year-old Sheltie mix Cody, and actively sought out cuddles and attention. Cookie is a wonderful, intelligent and loving Sheltie ~ she’s constantly giving kisses, and she “talks” to us all the time. Cookie loves bringing us a stuffed toy to throw, which she retrieves and then rushes back to drop in our hands with a bright-eyed smile that says, “Again, please!” She gets so excited upon seeing us each morning, and she is thrilled whenever her leash appears. We adopted Cookie formally in July, and we’re so thankful she’s become part of our family, especially since we lost Cody in September. We hope to adopt another Sheltie very soon and give Cookie a new buddy. For now, we’re delighted to have this warm and affectionate creature ~ she’s captured our hearts!

Posted: March 2024
Alex was a very shy and undersocialized Sheltie when she came into our program. Fortunately, after foster parents Roger and Elizabeth worked with her, she was adopted by Sue and William. Each day she gets a little more confident and she is thriving in her new home.

Whiskey
Posted: March 2024
Whiskey, a very anxious dog with some serious behavior issues, was fostered by Gabriella before being adopted by Lorraine and her sons. Their previously adopted Sheltie, Turbo, had some issues as well, so the family was able to give Whiskey the training and attention he needs. He's no longer on any medication and he's a very relaxed and happy dog in his new home.

Ricco
Posted: March 2024
Ricco's previous owner couldn't take him with her when she moved out of the country. Kathy and David picked him up, then transferred him to foster parents Robert and Ida. The foster period didn't last long, as Ricco quickly charmed his way into their hearts. He was welcomed by the resident Golden Retriever and he acts as though he's always belonged in this loving home.

Alli

Alli came into our program when her owner developed serious health issues. She was quickly adopted by foster parents Kimberly and Todd, who recognized the need for her to exercise, lose weight, and socialize with people and dogs. She joined a household with two other dogs and has adjusted very well. She even goes to work occasionally, receiving rave reviews from staff and residents.

Sierra
Posted: March 2024
This beautiful girl's owner died suddenly and we were contacted to find the right home for her. Foster mom Pat agreed quickly and decided within a few days to adopt her. Sierra has a very nice temperament; although a little shy, she loves people and dogs and can be very affectionate. She has two dog playmates and couldn't be happier.

Chandler & Joey
Posted: March 2024
This pair of 40-pound brothers were picked up as strays in the Sacramento area. Young males, they're very bonded and appear to be littermates. Foster dad Mark took great care of them before they were adopted by Kim and David. We were fortunate to be able to place them together, since they provide themselves with plenty of exercise and enrichment.

Karoo
Posted: March 2024
After his owner died, Karoo was cared for by friends and neighbors for a short while until he joined our program. Long-time volunteers Tina and Gary picked him up and fostered him. As usual, they quickly decided that Karoo belonged in their family. He now spends his time with two other Shelties, one of which shares his birthdate! He's a very sweet and mellow boy and pampered beyond measure.

Charlie
Posted: March 2024
Several years ago, Charlie was rescued from South Korea, where he lived in horrific conditions. His right ear was damaged, causing hearing loss, and his teeth were in bad shape. We took him into our program and nurtured him back to health. When his adopter became ill, Charlene stepped up to foster him. She's teaching him hand signals and he's responding well. It didn't take long for the very sweet Charlie to warm up to her and her Husky mix and he's now officially adopted (again).
