Luca  

This little lady was in San Lucas... another black street dog, and no one knew she was pregnant. She was living by a lady's house, a couple days, probably getting a little water, she was so skinny, I doubt she was getting food. The homeowner was surprised to find her with pups in the morning! Somehow, she contacted a rescue I work with, SCAR, who contacted me. The photo Nicole sent me looked so much like my dog Abilene, I just blurted, "bring her". And here she is. She's a beautiful example of a McNab. Luca has put on weight and is looking great.  She and her pups will be ready for their new homes towards the end of June.

Meet Luca’s pups.  Born April 28, 2023 They are very healthy and happy puppies.  Bottle fed from about day 2. So these puppies are so comfortable with humans! They are fun too. They try to bite your nose and they just smell like puppy!

I don't know what the dad was, and I can't tell you Luca is a pure bred collie, but she sure looks MacNabby! And her pups coloring is cattle dog and border or McNab. But they could be half bulldog. They are very sweet, cuddly, and hella smart. They didn't have a mom like other puppies, she did what she could. But they are way ahead of the game because of it.

The pups will be available for adoption at 8 weeks (approx. end of June) , with one vaccination on board, and required sterilization deposit , fully refundable upon proof of neuter. Surgery to be performed within14 days of designated date.

Naomi had no name this afternoon, and No-name turned into Naomi!

She is 6 months old. Spayed, vaccinated and so sweet! She was perfect for me from the moment I laid eyes on her. She's friendly with men and women. She was sitting on my porch with the nice guy who transported her here. He said she was perfect riding in the kennel in the car here, and I just popped a chip in her, a collar over her head and stuck her in the van with the rest of them!

She is excellent with other dogs btw.

So in her first 5 minutes here, she went on a pack hike. No leash, responds beautifully to my whistle and hops right in the van and rides loose like a champ.

I don't understand why anyone would give this little imp up! She's only 16 lbs!

Cujo

Puppies! 

We had 12 puppies! Now we have less, and these guys need their own posts. 

Such cute little puppies who already follow me around off leash. They're in a pack of dogs and people, and just completely balanced.

They've been fostered right with kids and cats and dogs and lots of people. They are just so friendly and happy!


They are content and quiet in the big yard with all the dogs and love to go on the hikes now in the mountains and the creek.


Ready for a young dog to add to the family? Or a solo forever buddy? These pups are going to be fantastic companion dogs.

YOGI

Yogi is doing great in his foster home, he’s now fixed and ready for his forever home❤️ Yogi is a gorgeous Australian Shepherd mix, barely 1 yr old, 55 lbs. He’s great with other dogs, can be a little shy at first with new people, but warms up pretty quick. Yogi is house trained, and leash trained - can pull a bit but he’s getting better! Yogi is fairly calm for a young guy, but he is still a big puppy and is still learning things like what is OK to chew on and how to properly greet other dogs. Yogi is looking for a herder experienced forever home that already loves to go walking, running, hiking on a daily basis, and has the time and energy to properly train a young dog.

Cookie! HE IS AVAILABLE!!

This dog... he is perfect. I know it. He was here once before. And adopted, as he should have been. He had an adult couple and a couple teenage boys... and then divorce happened. Everyone was affected, and Cookie lost his home of about a year. And... he doesn't seem that bummed out to be back!

We know each other, he knows my dogs, my van, our trail, the yard, he just came right back and found his groove.

I love this dog. He is so good with every dog he meets down to the tiniest.

He's great in the house, perfect manners! And he is crate trained, but since his last life had him in a crate, a lot, I don't want that life for him. He's an extremely good boy!

email info@cchdrescue.org for your chance with Cookie!

 


Noah!

Life has improved dramatically for Noah, he has gained weight, the hair on his back and tail are growing back to a beautiful brindle. All that’s left is to get him into his forever home!

Noah is probably about 7-8 yrs, more middle age then senior, his breed is “gorgeous hunk of love”. Noah is the PERFECT companion, LOVES the inside life with lots of soft comfy things to lay on, but he is ready to go for a walk anytime, his muscles and stamina are vastly improved from when he was rescued. And Noah is great with other dogs, not necessarily playing with them, just hanging out with no hassles. He’s a very loving happy boy and is a wonderful companion.

Zane who was redlisted at SEACCA and made it out in the nick of time!

He's a doll!  2 yr old super cute, little male Heeler - neutered

Very very friendly, easy to handle good on leash.  Owner dump, Victim of divorce, husband left Zane behind. Ex-wife said ZANE is her ex-husbands dog, and that Zane had lived for 2 yrs with cats and dogs, but she was now dumping him for being “dog aggressive” (because that is one of the only reasons SEAACA will take a surrendered dog. ) True story is the ex-wife is moving and not taking Zane with her.

He needs time to bond and decompress. And it might not take anytime at all with a Heeler savvy person.

Nigel

This little guy was waiting for his lethal injection. Apple Valley knew no one was going to get this very sick puppy... we did.

At least he'd pass away loved if we had him.

Well, I'm very happy to say this puppy has been getting better and better every day!

We love you, Nigel! You're going to get a home!

Bandit

Bandit is SAFE thanks to Carlynn stepping up at the VERY LAST MINUTE, offering to pick him up and foster him for a bit, total lifesaver! Now Bandit is looking for his forever home.  He is 2.5 yrs. old and 45 pounds

Sophie🌺

Sophie is a gorgeous Cattle Dog / shepherd mix, about 1 yr old / 50 lbs, still a big puppy. She is a happy easygoing girl, but is a bit insecure when meeting new people and dogs, some she likes immediately and others she needs some direction and time to warm up. But she does respond to directions quickly once she’s bonded with you, especially on leash. She will make someone a wonderful companion, a great walking/running/hiking partner, she will just need some help with furthering her socialization skills. If you have the time, the energy, and cattledog experience, and are looking for a lifelong companion, here’s Sophie!

Gigi is a gorgeous, sweet Heeler, about 2 years old, 52lbs. This gal is used to house living, is house trained, crate-trained, and leash-trained, friendly with people, but would do best in an adult only home as her herding instincts are strong.

Gigi was dumped with a male Heeler that she had lived with per her previous owners, so she can live with other dogs, but she does need help meeting new dogs. Gigi would be great as an only dog in the home, or for someone who has dogs and who knows how to slowly and properly integrate a new dog into their household using a crate and a leash.

Gigi is also highly alert to birds and little fluffies, so she’ll need a home without cats.

Gigi is perfect for a Heeler experienced person looking for a great indoor companion, and running/hiking/walking/adventures together partner!

ERICA!

One year,  46 lbs, she’s a gorgeous tricolor Kelpie/Border Collie mix. Basically a puppy. She's a cutie for sure!

She had a couple names, one didn't work for the shelter, a duplicate, and the other, wouldn't work for me! Erica popped into my head.

Erica is sweet and very energetic! She's thrilled to be out of the shelter, in fact that might be a little bit of an understatement.
She was an owner turn in I believe, at Victorville Animal Protectorate League. I'm sure they could have found her a home, but they had 20 dogs breathing down their necks...
I don't know how we can handle all these dogs being kicked to the curb for NO good reason.

Erica is spayed now and ready to be adopted.

RINGO 4-5 yrs, 64 lbs, gorgeous Border Collie / Shepherd, pretty sure he’s a McNab.

Ringo is a little bit shy right now, but he’s warming up quickly, he wants affection, he’s going to make someone a wonderful companion.
