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. |

Niko
is a 1 year old, female Border Collie
mix.
She has never learned proper behavior and just knows how to jump up and be mouthy. She is very clingy and jumps, jumps, jumps. She is smart and a fast learner. A diamond in the rough. For more information: Please contact Tricia Breen at the Marin Humane Society.

Ribbons (AO80403) is a medium sized spayed female Border Collie mix with short, sleek black and white fur.
With her alert ears and elegant stride, Ribbons is a delight to behold.
Ribbons is a smart young girl who earned an outstanding grade of “A” on her Shelter Temperament Test.
Like most young Border Collies, Ribbons has plenty of personality and lively energy so she is looking for a home where she will be given active things to do such as daily jogs and play in the yard.
Shelter volunteers have observed that Ribbons has the makings of an excellent agility dog.
Since Ribbons is already spayed, she is ready to go home with her new forever family today!
For more information about this amazing breed go to Dog Breeds: Border Collie All dogs have been been vaccinated with DHPP and Bordatella (kennel cough), microchipped, spayed or neutered, rabies vaccinated (if over 4 months), and heartworm tested negative (if over 6 months). In the event a dog has not been spayed or neutered at the time of adoption, it will be scheduled at the time of adoption and the adopter can pick the dog up after the surgery.
Ribbons is up-to-date with routine shots. |

Blue is
a 5-year-old, neutered Male, 58 lbs, Australian Cattle/Siberian Husky Mix
Stunning, no? This very striking dog could be a Siberian Husky/Australian Cattle mix, or he could be an Alaskan Malamute/Australian Shepherd or he could be any combination of the above. Suffice it to say, that he probably has a strong Northern dog heritage and some herding dog in his family tree.
Both Malamutes and Huskies are very special types of dogs so do your breed research. They can be independent and strong willed, while the herding mix brings high energy and a love of work.
At any rate, Blue's new owners will need to be an experienced dog owners.
Blue is extremely social with people and loves petting, cuddling and hanging out.
He is very tolerant and gentle as well. For more information: Please contact Tricia Breen at the Marin Humane Society.

| 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. | ||||||||||
