Northern California Border Collie Rescue & Adoptions

As a municipal open shelter, we are obligated to take in any stray dogs discovered in Tehama County. Even though it is not required, we use a waiting list to take in as many cats as our shelter can handle.

We have been providing dogs, cats, and other animals with humanitarian care since 1911, making us one of Butte County, California's oldest non-profit organizations. We are a Limited Admission shelter that makes every effort to give our animals the most comfortable stay possible.

Our founders understood that the resources of the city and the county could not support our mission of giving all animals who came through our doors a home and humane treatment.

501(c)(3) non-profit Wags and Whiskers Pet Rescue was established in August 2015 and is an all-breed, NO KILL, animal rescue group. We are an animal rescue organization run entirely by volunteers, and we have many years of expertise.
