CCHD RESCUE DOGS
PEPPER
Barely one year old. Pepper is neutered, up to date on all his vaccinations and micro-chipped.
He was found at the tender age of 6 months, "at large" meaning he was sniffing around right in front of animal control! He was fostered to adopt right from the shelter. But there are large numbers of cats and kittens at the foster's, and he was too rough with the kittens. Didn't bug the cats. But he had to go.
Rather than go back to the shelter, he was brought by for a meet and greet. He stayed. This guy is an adopter's dream.
Adoption fee is $350 and includes sterilization surgery, vaccinations, flea & tick abatement, worming, transportation to us, microchipping + chip registration. Also covers care for all the dogs while in rescue.

BEAR
About 3 1/2 yrs old. Bear was originally found by someone driving through Squaw Valley. They opened their door, and Bear jumped right in! That was May 4th, so we don't know what his name or history prior to that was. The finder probably would have kept Bear but after 4 days, their dogs not accepting Bear. I am here as proof, that was not Bear's problem. He has met a lot of dogs in the last day and a half and they all get on like a house on fire! He is a great pack dog!
Bear went on his second hike with us today. Second day 've known him. He is off leash with all the trust that goes with that. He sticks close by. And, of course he is learning what that whistle means!
He's proven with other dogs. Bear doesn't give any trouble nor does he want any.
I was told he was very high energy and needed a job. I haven't seen that. He's very happy to go with the program, whatever that might be for the day. And he's no more energy than any other dog here. He's a compadre! He just wants to be with you!
Since being dropped with ACT (Animal Compassion Team) he was adopted and returned, a couple of times. I heard rumors of the reasons, but I want to wait to hear it from the horses mouth. And both reasons, sounded like adopters who were not good candidates for this dog.
He's a herding dog mix. Most likely Australian Cattle Dog and Border Collie. Very smart, you need to be smarter. Lots of energy, you need that too. Needs, wants and loves to be loved, that is teamwork between Bear and his person/s.
Check out his photos, video and bear with me while I learn more about this guy! Or apply and meet him, see what you think.

LOMA
She's about 9 months old and appears to be an Australian Shepherd mix, with Kelpie black and tan markings. This is a new album just for Loma. Her first photos are in the album of both dogs.
Loma went into the shelter with another dog Mija. I think turned in together, but regardless they clung to each other like life lines and are still pretty tight.
We hit a little bump when I had to go get them and they were loose on about 1/2 acre. Had to trap them both. But we got them here.
They decompressed in a kennel run and got leash training every day. Loma is now trusted to go off her leash on our country mountain hikes. She loves the water! Runs her snout through it like a submarine, and she swims! This summer, every time we go back the van, the others load right up, but Loma takes a quick run down to the creek, soaks herself, and runs back to jump in the van, sopping wet! I can predict this.
Loma knows her name, she will allow me to pet her and call her in when we are off leash, and she gets in and out of the van at my will, and boy, Loma LOVES to go in the van. She's great in a vehicle.
So with or without Mija, we're looking for the right home for Loma. She is fine with all people, just needs a minute before coming up to anyone.
She was basically a feral dog. But she now takes treats, loves to go on hikes, she stays with the pack and she comes to the coaches whistle!
Loma has a lot of energy and I'm looking for an active person or family. She'd be great with another dog or dogs. Have no idea about cats, but she seems to want to chase noises she hears in the brush so I think she's got some prey drive. Maybe no cats.
Adoption fee is $350 and includes sterilization surgery, vaccinations, flea & tick abatement, worming, transportation to us, microchipping + chip registration. Also covers care for all the dogs while in rescue.

ERIC
This is crazy. But with the help of the nation, Eric is was bailed out of Neuces (New-Aces) TX.
They have 14 kennels and if no room, no room. But boy, they worked with me on this! I'm certain is was tough to take it all seriously. The shelter was so responsive once it was apparent they had someone who meant business, they got a staffer to drive him to boarding for me!
Eric was fostered by previous adopters of mine from 2014, Los Osos Residents who now live in Corpus Christi! Crazy! Valerie picked him up from the vet/boarding and he stayed with them until Valerie drove him to his flight to El Paso.
Maggie picked him up and took him to boarding (for lack of an El Paso Foster) until Kim picked him up and took him home to Tucson Arizona!
Eric will be hanging with her. Kim is on trial while Eric decides if this is his new home or not.
About Eric! He is 2. Still in need of a snip, snip (done!). Fully vaccinated. Healthy and beautiful! Australian Kelpie all the way. Gentle, dog friendly, loves people, and boy was he scared in the shelter!
He has been a great little traveler! He's ridden in planes and automobiles! Just need the train experience! But he's stayed in a hotel and hogged the bed! Kim said she got a kiss in the morning. Way to go Eric!
Sincerest of thanks to the community here on Facebook. No way would this have happened without a friend of a friend of a friend. That is literally how this rescue happened!
Adoption fee is $350 and includes sterilization surgery, vaccinations, flea & tick abatement, worming, transportation to us, microchipping + chip registration. Also covers care for all the dogs while in rescue.

PUPPIES
Ok, these two deserve their own album. And their own homes!
Born in the middle of March about a half hour after mom, Abilene arrived. And have grown up here in a pack of dogs.
Their dog skills are excellent. Nicest most appropriate future dogs here!
The DNA says mom is Border Collie / Malinois, and dad is a Malinois / Shepherd mix. They have a percentage of livestock guardian dog as well, Hungarian Kuvasz and Central Asian Ovcharka (Sheepdog).
These dogs are predicted to be between about 60 and 85 lbs. Erect ears and considered low shedders. The Belgian Shepherds have hair, rather than fur. They shed, but not like most dogs.
I will provide a DNA snapshot on request.
The pups go on a pack hike every day and have since they were about 6 weeks old. They ride great in my in a van. They stick with the pack, or if they do follow mom on an excursion and I get worried, a few blasts from my coaches whistle brings them back. Even without their mother, they obediently come crashing through the brush back to me.
They know how to use my dog door and are pretty reliable on going potty outside.
They're fully vaccinated but not sterilized and will go on a contract with a refundable deposit so they may reach reproductive maturity, then altered. They get a rabies upon sterilization. Their adoption fee and fully refundable sterilization deposit are $350 each. Adoption fee includes vaccinations, flea & tick abatement, worming, microchipping + chip registration. Also covers care for all the dogs while in rescue.
I can answer any questions or send an application. info@cchdrescue.org

WEBSTER
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?
Adoption fee is $200 and includes sterilization surgery, vaccinations, flea & tick abatement, worming, transportation to us, microchipping + chip registration. Also covers care for all the dogs while in rescue.

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.
Adoption fee is $350 and includes sterilization surgery, vaccinations, flea & tick abatement, worming, transportation to us, microchipping + chip registration. Also covers care for all the dogs while in rescue.
