Hi! Welcome to the Southern California
Aussie Rescue Home Page!
A cooperative effort of Aussie Rescue SoCal, ARPH and Private rescuers
Placing People and Dogs Together
PLEASE NOTE: This
website covers Southern California only
This website is dedicated to promoting
the adoption of homeless Australian Shepherds in the Southern California
area (Kern, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino
and San Diego counties).
Those of us who currently own an Aussie
cannot imagine a more perfect dog. However, they are not the perfect dog
for every person or family. If you are considering either buying or adopting
an Aussie, we encourage you to research the breed carefully before making
a decision. Ask yourself, "Does an Aussie have the characteristics
that I want in a dog?" Talk to lots of owners. Go to shows and meet lots
of dogs. Don't impulse buy or adopt. Owning a dog is a 12-14 year commitment.
The number one reason dogs are referred for placement is that the people
did not realize the time commitment involved in owning a dog (especially
a people-oriented breed like Aussies).
Making a responsible commitment to ownership
can lead to years of enjoyment and companionship for you and your family.
