In Memory of Juaquin:  Juaquin was a 3-year old spayed female blue merle ASCA Australian Shepherd. Her owner died when she lived on a houseboat in Sausalito and was used to going to the dog park every morning and hanging out on the docks the rest of the day.  Juaquin was a vocal herder and very much a one-person dog that has not been around children much, though when exposed she tends to give them wide berth. She was cautious around strangers but Juaquin was very affectionate once she knew you.

EUTHANIZED/was surrendered by owner.  Her breeder* had 14 dogs and could not possibly make room to take Juaquin back in.  Thus, our mantra: Don't Buy!  Don't Breed!  Rescue!!

***We believe there is no such thing as a "responsible breeder," and that those two words are mutually exclusive of each other.  For instance, we wonder how many of the 14 dogs referred to above will eventually go the way of Juaquin.  The breeder will never know, the money's in the bank, another notch in litter tally, don't look back.  Breeding is not about the love of animals --  it's a skewed mix of commerce, ego, entitlement, and  inhabiting the planet with no real sense of community or responsibility.  This might help: How about for every puppy a breeder sells, he or she donates a day at a shelter on kill-day to get up close and personal with euthanasia.  Maybe watching a dog die at the end of a needle will be enough of a spiritual awakening to give them some heart.

Sally is a 7-year-old, Australian Shepherd Mix, Spayed Female who weights 54 lbs.

Sally loves being trained and loves to play.  Take her through some obedience classes and you'll see how proud she is when learning new things.  She would really enjoy being a member of a family that takes her out for daily sessions of fetch.  She can be a bit bossy and independent.  When introducing Sally to any dogs she might live with, be sure to use slow and careful introductions.  Just because she's a bit mature, don't think Sally isn't ready to learn a few new tricks!

Sheba, 132564, is a 3 yr old, 34 lbs., black speckled, spayed, female Australian Cattle Dog Mix.

Sheba has classic Cattle Dog markings and behaviors – she is a Heeler through and through!  Cattle dogs are a strong herding breed.  

They were bred to work tirelessly for hours on end in the back country.  They were also bred to think for themselves.  

If not given boundaries and rules to live by, Sheba will make her own rules; this generally never turns out well. 

This is one reason why she needs to go home with an experienced adopter who can channel her energy and intelligence in a positive way.  She is very loving, sometimes too much so.  

It is in the Cattle dog nature to be loyal, controlling and protective of their people and property.  It is important that she understands the limits of affection and that you are in control of protecting her and your territory.  

Sheba has the potential to be an amazing dog with the right owner who will help her reach her full potential.

Lucky is a Border Collie Mix and is a 2-year-old, Spayed Female who weights 49 pounds.

Below are several shelter Web site addresses which are good resources for finding that perfect pet. An animal in a shelter is considered to be in a high-risk situation because of space limitations. The less room there is in a shelter, the higher the probability of euthanasia.  Many of the dogs in our care are "11th-hour rescues" from death row in kill facilities.  For this reason, we encourage you to consider shelter adoptions first, because we can't possibly pull all the dogs that need to be saved.  The animals in our care are, at least, safe, while animals in shelters face a less hopeful fate.
