CENTRAL COAST HERDING DOG RESCUE

Sassy and Ginger now. This is Ginger.

The girls were returned after several months. This was an agonizing decision for their owner. I witness it. Please, no judgement calls.

These girls have prey drive and could not co-habit with the chickens. This was tragic and traumatic for all.

Both of these beautiful young dogs are great with all people little or big. And they absolutely love other dogs.

I'm watching them as they make friends with the other pack members here. They clearly adore each other, the reason I wanted them adopted together. But at this point, it might be easier for an adopter to add them to an existing household with another dog.

Another dog is required. No cats or other small animals. No exceptions.
These gorgeous girls were born to breeders, and come from working stock.

The kids wanted them, then lost interest so they were kenneled...

Purebred Border Collies, a little over a yr. old. They were never handled, never were in a house before or in a car for that matter.
They now know commands, sit, down, lay down. They use the dog door, and are perfect in and out of the house citizens.

They are both great off leash and come to a good coaches whistle. Everyone should have a whistle.

They adore each other, and can be adopted together. But it might be a little like herding flies if you don't have a good handle on the situation. They do love each other, but they're great with the rest of the pack too.

LUCAS is about 3 years old. He's a big boy! 83 lbs of heeler! From Sacramento.

This beautiful boy was taken to the shelter by his owners after they had to move.

Not that Luke got much in the way of a family life. He was rarely let inside, and it sounds like he was basically living his life in the back yard. That will change.

Lucas is dog social, we determined this at the shelter, he's a good guy.

A little wary of new people. He didn't meet a lot of new people in his life, but he tries to be brave and he's done better every day.

WEBSTER is back! He was in his adoptive home for six months! Everything was “wonderful” Webster is “wonderful”. His owner adores him still, but, he went after the cat. Seriously he didn’t want the cat rubbing on him anymore… Cat was there first Webby.

Webster is about 7 years old and a very healthy, small cattle dog mix, he’s about 45 lbs, and could lose a couple and look great!

Really a bummer, as Webster seemed to have found his niche with Jennifer. He’s so sad to be back in rescue, but not the center of attention.

I’m skipping over a lot of history. Since I first met Webster in November of 2020. And getting to the bottom line in describing the right home for this little dog.

1. One person! Webster will cause a divorce or a break up. He will. take a side, and pretty soon, the humans are too. Usually it is not Webster's side though. So his divide and conquer plan has some flaws. Maybe if he had thumbs he could carry out his evil intentions.

2. No children please. Another dog would be ok. Webster does well with dominant male dogs. He worships my 100 lb 8 yr old male Romeo. So a mentor dog would be great.

3. No cats, I thought he could be trusted, but apparently not.

4. An active adopter, lots of walks, hikes, and he loves water and the beach!

5. A secure yard or no yard. Webster will escape a yard to be with you. So until he’s bonded and at home, no unsupervised time in a yard. He’s very well house trained. Non destructive.
But Webster needs someone committed to keeping him safe and supervised for a couple weeks, just until he forms an attachment! And the, you couldn’t lose him unless you could outrun him!

If you are a single person, and see yourself so... and want some loyal, low maintenance company, Webster could be your guy. He loves to ride in a car. Loves his walks! And loves the most, being with his person.
Webster loves his wire crate with his bed pad in it. Door is never closed, he retires himself!

I know he’s hating it here now. He used to have the run of this place, but he’s the new kid in town for now. Others have been here before him. But Webster does not understand why he’s in a yard not his kennel inside. But, I stopped hearing about it! He quit whining after about a ½ hr. Good sign. He’s not going to torture me.

Webster comes with his bed, collar, lots of toys and accouterments. Everything Webster.
And of course he is neutered, fully vaccinated and micro-chipped.

Interested in this evil genius, I mean little darling?

WILLIE

Willie is free as a dog can safely be! This approx. 8 mo. Border Collie mix pup, is in Paso Robles. He's now neutered, has current vaccinations and micro-chipped.

Willie was a stray in Kerman a couple months ago. Just a baby. It seemed he had no human experience. No leash experience and so frightened. Nice dog, but kinda feral.

Willie didn't have a chance if he went into this little rural shelter. The director reached out to the best, Kalyn. She contacted me, explained and offered to keep Willie until he could get in here.

Kalyn got him walking on a leash and follow her along without one. She says he's only a reliable as the dog he's running with, but we'll take it! There's lots of dogs that have good recall here, and we'll teach Willie!

He's here now and great with my entire pack. He's a just kid! He's a little shy, but once he's on a leash he's your dog. He'll need some attention to get him comfortable, but he's happy and excited about life!

I'm looking for a home with another dog though. Help show Willie the way! He'd be fine with kids, and possibly cats. He's very sweet.

Willie's looking for a home - could it be yours?
