There are many more dogs available than are profiled on this page. As with all rescue groups, we constantly hear of other dogs in need of homes, and, while we try to update our web site regularly, getting photographs taken, film developed, and photos scanned for uploading onto the web site takes time. If you don't see the kind of dog you're looking for, please don't hesitate to call us. On a daily basis, we are in touch with shelters, pounds, humane societies, and other rescue organizations. While we will always recommend the hearty mutt, we will not hesitate to direct you toward a organization that works specifically with pure bred dogs, if that is your interest. Most pure breed organizations have members who are concerned with the rescue of that particular breed. If a mutt does not strike your fancy, we strongly encourage you to rescue, rather than buy outright, purebred dogs whenever possible. Our philosophy is: Don't Buy. Don't Breed. Rescue!!!
Important Note: While the dogs on this page need a home, they are relatively safe from the threat of euthanasia. The dogs at the highest risk are the pound dogs on page 3. The pound doggies only have a short amount of time in which to be adopted, or they will be killed. We ask that you consider the shelter dogs first. Thanks.

Travis is a 46 lb, neutered, male, red speckle cattle dog with a smooth coat & docked tail. He has a large black patch and double mask with the familiar cattle dog Bentley mark. Travis was born sometime between 2002 and 2004.
Travis was found as a stray in Salinas with a pre- existing leg injury. Findings, upon x-ray of the elbow, showed that had it been surgically repaired. Somewhere in his prior life there must have been an owner who cared for him very much.
This dog is very attentive, affectionate, wanting to please. He is alert, house broken and gets right into the car, though so far is a bit nervous on the ride.
He likes to play with other dogs. He is curious, yet ignores livestock.
He appears to have low to moderate energy. He knows to sit, and is very people-social which is a good thing in this breed. In fact, he loves people so much that he is not a good watchdog.
Someone will be very lucky to have the opportunity to add him to their family. Travis will look directly into your eyes, crawl up under your arm and into your lap for hugs and give soft licks.
Travis is on a daily regimen of joint supplements and, as needed, pain management. He must be restricted when it comes to exercise.
Travis easily passed his temperament test at the shelter. He was given to rescue, as the shelter deemed him as unadoptable because of his age, and his limp. What a tragedy not to have given this dog a chance.
Travis is being fostered in Santa Rosa, Ca. |

Molly Mae is a 60 lb, adult female, spay, red tri colored Australian Shepherd. She was born in May of 2001. Molly is a quiet, reserved dog who is focused on her person and very affectionate. She seems to enjoy nothing more than to sit beside her person and soak up attention. Though she does not have separation anxiety; she will intently wait, listen, and watch when her person has gone away. For this reason, we feel a home with someone who will either be home or be able to take her along with them is best. This is an awesome dog!!!!!!!! She is housebroken, great on a leash, fine with other dogs, low to moderate energy. She is not very gregarious, and is more reserved than a lot of other Australian Shepherds. Molly is not good with cats or children.
Molly Mae is being fostered in Santa Rosa, Ca. |
Page two contains photos and bios of dogs available through our 3rd party/assisted adoption program. This is a service that NBCR&P offers to dogs other than those in our care who are in need of homes. While we generally do not take in dogs surrendered by private parties, we do what we can to assist in the placement of these animals. We do, however, strongly encourage people to explore every possible alternative to surrendering their pets. (See our Last Resort section.)
For more information about our assisted private adoption guidelines, please proceed to page two.

options
and help you decide which dog, if any, is best for your lifestyle.
