Aussie and Friends Rescue

Aussie and Friends Rescue We are a small Non-profit 501(c)(3) rescue organization located in Arizona dedicated to helping Australian Shepherds in need of a new home.

We believe Aussies deserve a second chance. We get our Aussies into rescue in various ways. Many of these animals were abandoned at shelters or turned into rescue for various reasons including owner death, divorce or home loss. All our Aussies have been spayed or neutered, are up to date on shots, and treated for any other health problem that we might find. We also microchip everyone. There is a r

easonable adoption fee to help cover these already completed expenses. We do not have a shelter so every Aussie we receive in becomes a part of a family in a foster home until they get adopted into their new forever home. Prior to placement, we do evaluations so we know how they are with other dogs, cats and children.

Still seeking donations for Gracie’s (formerly Minnie) medical bills for her prior back disc injury which has left her with difficulty walking on her back legs. This is the sweetest girl and she is coming along with getting a little stronger but could probably benefit from some physical therapy which would add to the cost of her medical care. If you are interested in helping this deserving dog, you can donate on our website at www.aussiefriendsrescue.com or Zelle your donation to [email protected]. Thanks in advance for any help.

Come out and say Hi, and we love seeing our past adopters 😊

DONATIONS NEEDED!
We are reaching out to our community for medical donations for the sweetest Aussie girl, Gracie (formerly Minnie), who we were told has had a rough start to life. Gracie is nearly 7 and suffered a back disc injury when she was younger, possibly from getting knocked over by her bigger dog housemates. We were told that she was then kenneled quite a bit which did not allow for the rehab she needed. This caused atrophy of the muscles in her back end. Her injury is healed, she just needs time and work to get her fully functional. She would benefit from aqua therapy and additional rehab work which of course costs money in addition the the MRI and other tests she has already undergone.

She has already improved somewhat being in her foster home and desperately wants to run with her new smaller house mate. Gracie seems to love people and dogs and has a very mellow disposition. She just wants to be a dog!! If you would like to help Gracie, please Zelle your donation to our rescue account at [email protected] or if you don’t use Zelle, you can go to our “Donate” tab on our website at www.aussiefriendsrescue.com Any amount will help in giving this sweetie her life back. Thank you!
