Collie puppies and dogs in Benicia, California

Hello world! My name is Apollo, I'm an 9-month-old, neutered male Smooth Collie/Shepherd mix, who currently weighs around 42lbs., but I'm still growing and could be between 65to 75 lbs. as an adult. I'm a happy, energetic young boy that is just the sweetest of all time! I'm an active guy who absolutely loves to run zoomies in the yard. I'm super smart too! I already know 'sit' and 'shake', but of course I could learn lots more. I can't wait to go to class with my new best friend. I'm still working on politely meeting new doggy friends. Because of this, I prefer to be the only dog in the household. I'm hoping my new family can help me become the courteous gentleman I know I can be.  For more information, just ask Customer Service about Apollo!

She is friendly to adults and children alike; shares food and toys with other dogs, and never engage in fight with other dogs; very well behaved, not a chewer or barker; also enjoys her daily walks and car-ride. Becca is obedient and enjoys being around people, will surely make a great companion pet. Becca’s rescue story: Becca was rescued out from a ditch by the volunteer on her daily walk. Becca’s seven siblings were also found nearby. Because that area is an industrial park, banked by a storm drain, with heavy trucks in and out all the time, hardly an environment where young puppies can survive! Therefore, the volunteer posted a plea for adoption on line for these vulnerable puppies. The rescuer responded and placed the puppies with foster families while start preparing them for their forever homes.

To apply or learn more, go to: https://www.heartsforpawsrescue.com/219873/2024/9/11/sophia Sophia is a sweet, spirited and playful young dog who endured a long-road to be with us here today. Sophia was originally found as a puppy with her littermates near Fairfield California last January. Sophia and her litter were brought to a local shelter and adopted out to individual families at 2-3 months of age. Unfortunately, Sophia was returned over summer at the age of 9 months, due to no fault of her own as her family’s circumstances had simply changed. Back at the shelter, Sophia began to experience what is called “kennel stress”; used to being in a home environment, the noise and isolation inside her kennel for 23.5-24 hours a day was taking it’s toil on her emotionally. Sophia still caught our eye with her playful nature, and smarts. Now, Sophia is decompressing in a foster home in Folsom, CA, but her journey to forever is just beginning. She deserves the stability of a committed adopter for the rest of her life through all of life’s ups and downs. Here is more info on Sophia and what we have learned about her during her time in foster care: Loves to go “bye bye” and will jump right into the car; wonderful passenger and we can see her being a fantastic adventure buddy for future road trips, hikes, camping, etc Sophia has a great base of basics and is ready to impress you with sit, shake, and eager to learn more! She is SUPER smart and has amazing potential for someone who would like to do agility training. Good leash walking Sleeps through the night We know in Sophia’s first home she was raised with a child and a cat, but have not seen her personally around cats. Sophia’s favorite play time activity is the “flirt pole” which makes exercising her even in a smaller space doable Likes other dogs; Sophia participated in playgroups at the shelter; she has a puppy-like play style and loves to “herd” and chase her dog friends. She may be a little rough/ rambunctious in her play style for all dogs so we would definitely recommend a dog- to - dog meeting with current resident pets. Doggy play dates with dog friends would be a great activity for Sophia but she is not a dog park candidate. She has been around senior dogs who needed space, and she has taken cues from them as well. Her intros can be a bit rushed and excitable, but she is working on her neutrality on walks. She would do fine as a solo pet in the home as well. Sophia does alert bark at noises but is already learning how to “check in” with her person when the noises occur Sophia can be a little rough and mouthy meeting new people but is actively working with a trainer to learn how to greet people in a more appropriate manner We would recommend a home adults only as she has broken skin in an overly excited manner when meeting a new person early on. She has been doing much better learning to be gentle and not jump up to greet. A flexible work schedule, quiet neighborhood with a backyard would be amazing, but not all are required. Sophia may do well in a home with other pets, but we would advise animals meeting first and adopters to have plans for slow and proper integration into the home. The ideal home for Sophia will be ready for all things young dog; active adopters that can provide her with daily play/physical activity and mental stimulation would be best. Homes familiar with herding tendencies, and comfortable with large high energy dogs $250 adoption donation includes spayed, rabies, dhpp, bordatella, flea tick treated, fecal tested/dewormed, and microchipped Sophia is currently in foster in Folsom, CA.

This good boy is looking for an active and loving forever home! Dude was rescued by HFP with his littermates and mom last winter. He was lovingly hand raised in foster care and adopted around 3 months of age, but unfortunately didn’t find his forever home. Dude is potty trained, crate trained, leash trained for walks, and knows multiple commands. Dude has graduated from a beginner training course and has been recommended for agility training. He knows Sit, Look, Touch, Lay Down, Stay/Wait, Come, High-Five, Drop it, Take it, Leave it, and Let's Walk. Dude thrives on daily walks and lots of playtime, making him the perfect companion for an active household. He loves other dogs and would do great with a canine buddy that matches his enthusiasm. Dude currently lives with a 7 year old and while his excitement is contagious, his energetic nature might be a bit much for smaller children, so he’s best suited for a home with older kids or adults who can match his zest for life. With consistent training and plenty of love, Dude’s big personality will shine even brighter! He’s up to date on vaccinations, neutered, and ready to bring joy to his new family. Dude is now located at Miranda’s Rescue in Fortuna: 1603 Sandy Prairie Road, Fortuna, CA 95540 Office: 707.725.4449
