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!

of NorCal Aussie Rescue! We average an adoption

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, 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! |

Aussie Adventures
We think traveling with our Aussies is a lot of fun. Please email us a
photo of you and/or your Aussie on a travel adventure, and we'll post it.
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. |

Several kind folks we call "Angels" matched donations that came in during our 10th Anniversary Celebration! Although many people donated, we are $20,000 short of our goal. Please donate so we can help every Aussie in need. THANK YOU!

 A Message from Kim 3/9/14
It's very quiet for us now.....not sure why, but we don't have many adopters visiting - maybe it's because we don't have many younger dogs. We do have great older Aussies though - they seem to stay here such a long time.
Please consider fostering or adopting one of our older Aussies, like Heidi, Trisha, Ollie, Buddy, Ali or Brody who are so deserving of a home of their own. They are easy to care for,and have no medical issues.
I'm grateful to our volunteers who transport, groom and foster our kids. And grateful to folks who visit me at the Sanctuary to help maintain our grounds. Thank you all for offering us so much!
See our Foster Aussies page for cuties that are available for adoption! .
Sometimes we're so crowded here, that I need to board dogs elsewhere. We just paid more than $1,800 to two boarding facilities to board several dogs for a few weeks. You can help by fostering, or by making a donation with PayPal. Thank you!
