On July 23rd, 2010, Aussie Rescuers here in Southern California lost one of their own, a very dear, fellow rescuer, Jacinta Stockton, passed away.  I first got to know her years ago after she adopted their first Aussie, Charlie, out of a local shelter.  Jacinta contacted me wanting to help our rescue efforts, little did she know what she was getting into!   Their very first foster dog, Angie, never left  ;}   Over the years she has helped save many many Aussies and kept me going many many times when I just wanted to give up doing rescue - her sense of humor and ability to 'cut through the crap' made me laugh and say, 'ok, I'm not quitting today'.  Jacinta did everything with a passion, from doing the rescue, to nursing, to diving with her husband, to adoring her granddaughter - she was an awesome person and I only hope I was as good a friend to her as she was to me. 
One of the passions we shared was for the senior Aussies needing help - whether they were abandoned, lost, sick, just needed a caring, loving place to be for whatever time they had left, those were the ones that got to us both and made us sqeeezzzeee one more into our own homes.  Because of this, we are starting up a fund in her honor, specifically to help senior Aussies in need....still working out the details/parameters, but Jacinta's Fund is beginning.  If you are interested in it, feel free to contact me: aussierescuesocal@earthlink.net
In loving memory of our friend, Jacinta -
- we are missing you tremendously, but I know there are some Aussies keeping you company that are very happy to see you again -

DONATIONS NEEDED!!

This roughly 6 month old Aussie mix was brought into the East Valley Shelter in LA with a broken jaw.  He needed out ASAP as the shelter felt they should euth. him because the amount of  pain he was in and they don't have resources to help - fortunately Aussie Rescue SoCal and AFRP found out about him and with the help of some great people, got him out and to an excellent foster home and medical care - Many Many Thanks to everyone that helped!!!  If you would like to donate to his medical care, please go to AFRP's website:   http://www.animalfriendsrescue.org/medicaldonation.html





We are planning a garage sale to be held at a volunteer's home in Carlsbad, date yet to be determined but hoping to do it sometime this year!  if you have something you'd like to donate for it, or would like to help in some way, drop Karyl an e-mail - we can use all the help we can get - got some big vet bills to pay!  :}

This site is a networking of several different rescue volunteers, some affiliated with a national rescue group, some doing aussie rescue privately.  A portion of the dogs pictured here are in volunteer foster homes for a rescue, in which case there is usually a phone interview, an adoption application to fill out and a home check to be done, varying from group to group....most all ask for a donation and have a contract to sign regarding the adoption.  All of the dogs are spayed/neutered and current on their vaccinations prior to being put up for adoption.  There are also dogs that are still in the private homes and we are merely trying to help the owner re-home their dog by way of referral....no fee or contract to any rescue required.   We don't help them sell their dog, but we do require that the dog be altered before we will post it to the site so the owner may ask for reimbursement of that cost, if it was done to meet our requirements.  Any placement/home requirements for these dogs are up to their owner.  Each of the dogs pictured has a contact person listed with them, via e-mail addy and/or phone number and you would need contact that person directly for more information of any dog you are interested in.
