Central Coast Herding Dog Rescue

Central Coast Border Collie Rescue (CCBCRescue) is dedicated to helping find homes for Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, Australian Cattle Dogs/Queensland Heelers and other herding breeds and mixes. This site lists dogs in shelters as well as dogs in homes and foster care, and is intended to help adopters seeking good dogs, and dogs seeking loving homes. Why we do it: Herding dogs are not for every one. Too many adopters get these dogs as status symbols only to find out, their life style doesn't meet these high energy dogs needs. As a result, these wonderful misunderstood dogs wind up in shelters. We understand what drives these dogs, we can place them appropriately. Our mission is to educate people and save dogs. We do it because we love these dogs, with a little effort, can give them a good new life. Euthanasia is not the solution to out animal overpopulation issue. Education is.

Meet Harley

Welcome Harley. This 2-3 year old, 35lb chocolate border collie thinks he’s a lap dog. All he is wants is your affection, but as we know unearned affection is a recipe for disaster with these working breeds. Rather, prospective adopters should use this reward system to their advantage when teaching him new things. He’ll work for ear scratches and belly rubs and he’s got a few things to learn (namely how to walk on a leash). So far he’s gotten along great with the 2 other resident dogs. Very polite and serene. He even got Lizzie, his foster sister to do a few play bows, and anyone that knows Lizzie knows she doesn’t play. He handled grooming like a champ. Let’s just say he didn’t come in the best of shape, but his fosters took one for the team and got him looking like a show dog! He slept soundly through the night and doesn’t appear to mind being in a crate. As for going potty, he’s doing that outside like a good boy. He’s also very cool and collected around the goats and donkey that live on site. Harley is looking for a breed savvy home that will further his development and socialization. He’s got that border collie sensitivity. Those familiar with the breed know what we’re talking about. Harley is located in Arroyo Grande, CA. He is microchipped, neutered, and UTD on vaccines.   More photos and updates:  https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1413104472984536&type=3   Interested in Harley?  Please complete an application at: http://bit.ly/CCHDR_App
