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 in 11 years
of NorCal Aussie Rescue! We average an adoption
every other day.
Your support makes this possible. Thank You!

Each foster dog gets at least one trip to the vet for vaccinations, worming, tests, altering, and has any health concern addressed. In addition to vet bills which are 1/3 of our annual budget, we have on-going expenses for Solid Gold food (we get wholesale), treats, beds, collars and ID tags, as well as Sanctuary expenses like satellite, electricity, taxes, and gasoline for the van. Not including vet bills, our typical expenses are $450-$500 per month. Please consider an ongoing monthly donation
to help us continue. Thank you Ken & Phyllis, Tootie, Paula, Meri and Barbara for your monthly gifts! 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
WWe 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. |

We have ANGELS who will match your gifts!
Please help us by making a generous gift that will have twice the impact! Your donations in honor of our 8th Annual DINNER UNDER THE STARS on SEPTEMBER 13, 2014 will replenish our tapped Medical Fund. Invitations to our event will be mailed this week! THANK YOU!

Thank you for helping us pay for Katie's Double Knee Surgery and Physical Therapy
Katie was going to be put to sleep, but a vet tech called us to ask if we could help her. She was over fed and reached almost 90 pounds when she tore her ACL in both knees straight through. We paid for her surgery and for 2 weeks of physical therapy so she could walk again.
Katie is now 75 pounds and on her way to 45 pounds. Our bill was close to $6,000 and we'd really appreciate your help! Donate with PayPal |

 A Message from Kim 2/23/15
THE SANCTUARY IS CLOSED THROUGH MARCH 12. We will continue adoptions on March 13.
We rescued Katie (pictured above) in November. I'm thrilled to say she's down to 70 pounds and gets around better DAILY! Her transformation is a joy to experience! She's living large in Capitola and everyone she meets LOVES her!

We took a 7 year old mini red merle girl named Sadie whose owners brought her to the shelter to be put down because she growled when the 5 year old child came near her food bowl.
Sadie plays fetch as long as you like, isn't interested in playing with the other dogs, and is RIVETED to my side after only knowing her for 15 minutes. Showing absolutely no signs of food aggression here, even around other dogs.

Our Reunion was wonderful! Thank you all for coming and showing off your wonderful kids! Thanks again to Sue Wilson for making a video of our time together! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur4PaihlAD4
Please consider fostering one of our dogs.
Fostering makes a huge difference in these dogs' lives because they get lots of one-on-one time with a person...at the Sanctuary, they all share one person... me! Fostering also helps to "lighten my load" here so I have more time to write newsletters, research foundations, take dogs to the vet and, oh yes, rest!
Sometimes we're so crowded at the Sanctuary, that I need to board dogs elsewhere. We spend more than $4,000 annually for boarding. You can help by fostering, or by making a donation with PayPal. Thank you!
See the fun by watching Sue Wilson's video of our Reunion in June 2013 Video: http://youtu.be/9a2eR3-dyBE
