Meet a few of the 17 collies who were cared for in 2023
by NCR volunteers and our generous supporters!
The Collies Thank You!
Shasta was found 11/22 running along the highway near the Mt. Shasta viewpoint. No one came forward to claim him. He was our first NCR collie adopted in 2023. He is living the good life on a 40-acre ranch in Amador County. 
Adopted 2/33. Blue is having fun adventures in Sonoma barking at deer and learning how to go out to brunch and behave like a gentleman. He has one stunning blue eye. 
Lacie entered NCR in February at the age of 12 yo. We placed her in our Sanctuary Program due to her age and medical needs. Her sanctuary family loves and adores this sweet older girl. Everyone who has ever cared for a sanctuary collie knows how special they are. Check out our Angel Fund, which supports our sanctuary program. 
Skye was one of the Mercer 5 collies that NCR rescued in 2022. Adopted 3/23. She is a love and a total Daddy's girl. She has matured into a beautiful girl and has a tail that is always wagging. She loves to watch out the front window and has quite a lot to say when someone walks by. When she's not by her dad's side she's chasing squirrels along the fence.
Dakota was eight and a trained therapy dog when he entered NCR. He was adopted in 3/23, and he continues to provide support in his new home, where he is much loved and appreciated for his wonderful personality and watchful eye over his people. 
 
Adopted 4/23. Maddox came to us because his Dad had passed away. He found his forever home where his new best friend is a lovely kitty! He is so happy and loved with his new family!
Adopted 4/23. Meet Raine. He is Maddox’s brother and litter mate. The decision was made to split them up, and he is living his best life with his new family. They could not be happier with him, and he loves all the attention he is getting as the only dog in the house. 
 
Marlo was a wild one-year-old pup when he entered NCR. And quite the barker. His foster family almost sent him back. Then Marlo proved himself by alerting the family after someone had fallen and was unable to call out for help. His mom says, "I could call it a Lassie moment, but mostly, it meant he was part of our family." Marlo was adopted in April. 
Adopted 6/23. Maple came into NCR with some interesting quirks that required a special person. She did not play well with others. Cats were a no-go since she thought they were her personal chew toy! She is now doing wonderful in her very own home!
 
Lucky was one of the Mercer 5 collies rescued from a hoarding case. He was the most wary and needed extra time to decompress. We were able to place him in a foster home with a certified dog trainer and behavior consultant where he had the very best care while learning to trust again. He was adopted 6/23 and is happy and enjoying life as a ranch dog. 
Adopted 10/23. Roxie came to us with special needs and could not have landed in a better place. She is blind in her left eye and has some minor health issues that will need to be monitored. Collie magic happened, and she is in an amazing home.
Sanctuary (1/23-8/23) Roxy came into NCR with Megaesophagus, a debilitating disease. Despite all, she was a happy, sweet ten-year-old girl who still loved life. We wanted to give her the best for her remaining time. Fortunately, her owner was able to transfer insurance over to us, which covered a lot of her extensive medical needs. The rest, we were happy to provide through our Angel Fund. Roxy succumbed to her illness in Sept. She was dearly loved by her mom, who made the difficult decision to relinquish her to NCR while dealing with major health issues of her own, and by her NCR sanctuary mom.
