Collie Rescue in northern California: NorCal Collie Rescue

NorCal Collie Rescue is a nonprofit corporation* founded by collie lovers who are dedicated to taking responsibility for each and every collie. Collies come to rescue from many sources, including animal shelters, death of the primary caretaker, people whose health has changed, breeders, divorce and many other circumstances.

Our volunteers take in and rehome collies in California north of the Tehachapis. If you are in southern California, please contact Southland Collie Rescue. NCR will not ship collies or place them out of state, but we do collaborate with collie rescues adjacent to our area of coverage.

NEWS!
Thanks to all who volunteered for fostering! NCR has now gained a number of foster homes in some areas. More foster homes are still needed in other areas. Distance to area coordinators is still a major consideration. Please still contact NCR if you are interested in fostering.

Collie of the Week

Darcy & Boomer

These two affectionate and lovable 6-year old dogs came into rescue by way of utter tragic circumstances. Other than being extremely overweight and matted, they are normal, healthy Collies, who are house-trained, walk well on a leash, and want to be with their people more than anything else.

Darcy is extremely agile (up and down steep concreted stairs like they are nothing) and food motivated. Boomer is a HUGE, goofy, and enthusiastic guy who just adores attention. Because these two are littermates and a bonded pair, we really need to adopt them together, and to a home most likely with no other dog, no cats, and at this point, we are unsure about small children.

Darcy and Boomer are VERY easy to become attached to and will make wonderful pets. If you would like to give them a forever home (in Northern California) please send an e-mail with an attached application to Andrea at: andrea@calcollierescue.org.
