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.

COLLIE FUN DAY 2024
Collie Fun Day, on September 28, was once again a huge success! This is an event that our NCR family looks forward to every year. Unfortunately, we missed the last few years due to COVID, so we were especially excited for this year's extravaganza. Many kudos to Lisa McKenna and her event committee in pulling this off!
In attendance were over 100 people and almost 70 dogs (all Collies except for a few Shelties) throughout the day. The amazing thing about Collies is that they all seem to recognize each other and get along! While the best part of the day was watching all the happy Collies romping freely on this beautiful estate and getting caught up with friends, there were also Collie games and relay races and lots of great stuff to buy. (All collie-related of course!)
Our silent auction was hugely popular, with almost every item sold at over starting price. Most of these items were donated or crafted by our volunteers and patrons and this served as an excellent fund-raiser for our rescue. Our refreshment stand with sandwiches, snacks, and even some home-made lemonade was a hit with the people. And the dog treats were greatly appreciated as well by the canine component!

To top off the day, every family went home with a custom-labeled bottle of red wine, donated by Barbie Liebeck, Owner of Shangra la de da Winery and a discount coupon for Pet Food Express.
