Our goal is to place Aussies into loving and life-long lasting homes.
I
have rescued and placed Aussies
and other dogs into approved homes for close
to five years. You will be required sign an adoption
agreement before a dog can be placed in your home by this
program. Before accepting
a dog into the program the dog will be screened/evaluated carefully and
the program will not accept a
dog that is aggressive with people.
All
OAR dogs are given vet care, updated on
all vaccinations and are spay
or neutered
before going to a new home. The only exception to the above is with puppies too young to
spay or neuter.
We work with many different people to help find and place Aussies in need of a new home.
We are always looking for people who can help in many ways. Fostering a homeless Aussie is
one way, making phone calls or evaluating dogs and doing home checks are other ways.
Donating supplies, dog food, or whatever you can think of is always welcomed!

A potential adopter should be aware of how the dog is being featured on the website because that will determine the procedures for adopting the dog. In addition to the OAR dogs we also list other Aussies and Aussie mixes needing a home (i.e.. from a shelter, from a national rescue group, from an owner referral, etc.).
OAR / RESCUE DOGS
If the dog is being sponsored by OAR or a national rescue organization, please contact the local rescue representative that is listed for the particular dog. These dogs have been either rescued from a shelter or other crisis situation and they are being fostered. Each rescue organization is different and the adoption requirements are unique so it's best to contact the rescue representative directly.
SHELTER DOGS
If an Aussie is located at a shelter, you should contact the shelter immediately. The clock is ticking in these situations and time is critical to the welfare of the dog. You would be required to follow the shelter's adoption process. The adoption fee is based on the individual shelter. As a potential adopter make sure that the dog you are interested in will match your lifestyle. While we can not guarantee that the dog is still available, we will try to keep the shelter dogs as up to date as possible.
PRIVATE REFERRAL
There are many instances that an owner can no longer keep their dog (i.e. medical problems, divorce, moving, etc.). Owners contact Aussie rescue as a means to help find their dog a good home. We act as a referral agent only. You will find instructions on how to adopt this dog on the webpage featuring the dog. These dogs are usually remain in the owners home until a new home can be found.
