Welcome to NorCal Aussie Rescue, a California
State nonprofit public benefit corporation. Our Federal
Tax ID number: # 26-0076953. We rescue, evaluate and then
place wonderful Australian Shepherds in just the right
new home. This takes time! We do not adopt out of state.
Aussies can be moderately active to extremely active,
needy or independent, child-friendly or child-intolerant.
Aussies are not always good with children. Most of our
Aussies are strays and we cannot be assured they are
good with children. Read
more about Aussies: Is An
Aussie the Right Dog For You.
Please make sure you view our Shelter
Listings as well as the Related
Links because there are many nice dogs in shelters
that have very limited time. Choosing the best possible
home for each individual dog is a very time consuming
task - please be patient! If you are interested in adopting
one of our Aussies, please fill out an Adoption Application. If you've submitted an application,
please be patient...we receive 20-30 applications per
day. Thank you!
dogs adopted since December, 2003!
Your support makes this possible. Thank You!

Please Sponsor an Aussie!
Each foster dog gets at least one trip to the vet for vaccinations, worming, tests including Heartworm, altering, microchip, and each has any health concern addressed.
In addition to vet bills which are 1/3 of our annual budget, we have on-going expenses for high qualilty dog food (we get wholesale), treats, beds, collars and ID tags, as well as Sanctuary expenses like internet, electricity, propane, cell phone, and gasoline for the van. Not including vet bills, our typical expenses are $4,500-$5,500 per month. Please consider an ongoing monthly donation
to help us continue. Thank you! Donating is simple and quick with PayPal! |

Tell us where you went and what activities you enjoyed together!

will not place our Aussies in homes
with children under 12 years of age
unless it's an Aussie that
we know has lived with small children. |

Sweet Seniors
We feel it's really important to make room at the Sanctuary for seniors who end up in shelters. Many have passed through our doors and found wonderful, loving homes. Some of them spend the rest of their lives with us.
We offer a place for you to pay tribute to your beloved Aussie and invite you to email us a photo and tell us about your special Aussie so we might add them to our memorial page.
Rather than feeling sad, we hope that you feel encouraged that we gave them a wonderful life. They certainly enriched ours.
See our new memorial page.
We built a Memorial Garden at the Sanctuary
For a $1,000 donation, we will create a custom, 6" X 8" bronze plaque with your Aussie's photo & your sentiments. |

Training plays a huge part in the relationship you have with your dog or dogs. We recommend and often require at least one obedience class with your dog. If we can't set you up with a trainer, go to www.apdt.com and click on "How to Choose a Trainer" to learn about different training approaches. Then click on "Dog Trainer Search" to find one near your home. We think you should observe a class before signing up. |

 A Message from Kim
11/1/21
Thanks to your support, we can respond to Aussies in need. We took in an abandoned puppy who was found under a trailor.Joey is now 11 weeks old and looking for a cat-free home!
We also have a 3 year old Aussie girl who
was abaondoned during the Caldor fire who was left to fend for herself. She was spotted eating animal carcasses, but no one could catch her, so the county trapped her and called us.
Just 4 days after we brought her here, she delivered 3 pups! Thankfully, Mama and babies are doing well and we're fattening up Mama who was terribly malnourished.
Bandi and Finley found their forever homes with previous adopters! I'm so happy for them!
We receive a minimum of two calls per week from people who ask us to take their dogs. It's staggering...and I'm taking only a select few.
We continue to care for our foster Aussies every day and hope you'll read their bios. If you're interested in Joey, Handsome, Lana, Oreo or Nala, please submit an adoption application.
If you would like to make a donation, please us this link: PayPal.
We are always tapping our medical fund. Whether it's heartworm treatment, heart surgery, dentals or ear surgeries like Shep's....bills add up! If you can help, please click below. Every dollar will be used on vet bills. Thanks!
Make a Donation with Pay PalOur Reunions are always wonderful! Thank you all for coming and showing off your kids! Our next reunion is 10/8/21 in Carmel By the Sea.
Thanks again to Sue Wilson for making a video of our time together in 2014! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur4PaihlAD4

Thanks to the support of so many, Boomer's Heart is Healthy! Boomer was barely 8 weeks old and 4.7 pounds when we rescued him. He was bred by someone who gave the puppies away at 6 weeks of age as "party favors" to the girls at her daughter's birthday party.
Terrible thing to do!
When Boomer was taken to the vet for shots, the vet determined that he had a loud heart murmur. I got the call that afternoon asking us to take this wee one.
After speaking with our vet at Sacramento Animal Hospital, I learned that Boomer has Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) which is a common birth defect in puppies. PDA is a failure of the connection between both sides of the heart to close at birth. If left open, Boomer can have serious problems or die.
Boomer had surgery on 5/19 and went to his new home on 6/12. Please "like" his fb page: FRIENDS OF BOOMER
If you'd like to donate towards his $6,000 vet bill or simply help replenish our Medical Fund so we can help the next one, please Donate with PayPal |
