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.

Rescued Collie Arrives from South Korea, Goes All "Lassie", Saves Owner
What better way to celebrate National Dog Day than with a story about Lassie? How about a story in which Lassie is actually Alice where Alice is a Collie rescued from a high kill shelter in South Korea who finds her way to California where she saves her new owner from harm? Because that is what happened. And between dogs from Spain becoming therapy dogs and helping start prison programs and Korean Collies saving lives...I just might have to start an "Immigrants are Making Our Canine Nation Great" category.
Alice's story begins in a shelter in South Korea where she had arrived as a stray. She was being held for a ten day period to allow any surfacing owners to find her. After the hold expired, she would be euthanized if left unclaimed. Team Inch volunteer Wendy Lee Williams was alerted to her presence by a collie-enthusiast friend and immediately went to work to provide rescue for her if needed. Team Inch, named for "Inch", a rescued greyhound, works to rescue sight hounds and larger breed dogs, partnering with rescues in Canada and the U.S. as finding safe forever homes in South Korea for larger dogs can be difficult to achieve.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Meet Mojo, a handsome tri-colored male smooth collie who hails from
working collie lines. He is six years old and has lived since a pup with his
family on a ranch with other dogs, cats, chickens, and horses. The problem is
the horses. He doesn’t like them. He is calm and chill inside the home. He
uses the dog door if he needs to go out. He isn’t possessive of his bones or
toys. He walks well on the leash and rides well in the car with an occasional
verbal check. He enjoys going to the groomer and likes to be brushed. He can
be reactive with the neighbor dogs, enjoying a good romp up and down the
fence line, but gets along with all dogs on his side. He also has issues with the
gardener and his noisy equipment. Squirrels drive him nuts. None of this is
unusual behavior for herding dogs.
