NorCal Collie Rescue
NorCal Collie Rescue is a nonprofit corporation* founded by collie lovers who are dedicated to taking responsibility for collies at risk in northern California. 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.
Please Note - NorCal Collie Rescue does not place Border Collies. They are a different breed from a Rough or Smooth Coat Collie. Please contact NorCal Border Collie Rescue or Border Collie Rescue of Northern California to adopt or rehome a Border Collie.

On August 14, 2024 NCR received the sad news that our very
own Kathleen Smith had lost her long battle with Cancer. She
was a treasured, hard-working volunteer for NorCal Collie
Rescue for many years, which included fostering dogs and
holding the position of Area Coordinator for Santa Cruz County.
She was also a multiple-dog adopter herself. In addition to
donating her time for NCR, she worked with other dog rescues
and raised awareness for the disease that eventually took her
life.
CLICK HERE for her obituary
She was far too young and she will be missed by all who knew
her.

NCR would like to take the opportunity to make the NCR family and friends aware of the Collie Rescue Foundation (CRF). CRF came into existence in 2005 due to a large seizure of dogs from a collie hoarder. Local collie groups did not have the financial means to help all of the dogs that needed medical attention and so CRF was founded. CRF has helped many collie groups across America since then, including NCR, for which we and the collies are forever grateful.
CRF is funded by membership and donations. An annual membership is as little as $25. To become a member or donate: https://collierescuefoundation.org/product/memorial-tribute-donation/

LOST DOG IN SAN GREGORIO, CA
MYRA IS AN 8 YEAR OLD ROUGH SABLE & WHITE COLLIE GIRL WHO RAN OFF ON HER OWNER’S PROPERTY IN SAN GREGORIO ON 5/6/25 AT 3PM. THIS IS A VERY RURAL AREA WITH HEAVY BRUSH.
She was wearing her collar with a NorCal Collie Rescue tag with our phone numbers, an apple air tag, and she is microchipped and registered. She is rather shy and will likely not come when called by a stranger.
Keep your “location services” on your iPhone on and contact us if you see her. The name of the tag is “backpack.” Last seen near Seaside School Road.
If you spot her, please call Hal at: 650-391-7207, or Andrea at: 408-891-2780
