We were very lucky to have the financial support of our local aussie club. If we did not have that we would not have been able to rescue the number we have. In 1996 I became involved with the Aussies Rescue and Placement Helpline (ARPH). This was one of the best things I have done. I now have not only financial support, but mental support. Being in rescue takes a lot from you. You have to prepare to take the good along with the bad. I am currently a rescue Volunteer and Area Coordinator for Second Time Around Aussie Rescue (STAAR) I have a lot of people ask, "You are a breeder, and rescue? Isn't that a conflict of interest?" I see it like this; I will only produce when I have a list of homes for these puppies. I feel that if I produce a puppy, or my sire produces a puppy, it is my responsibility for the life of that dog. There will always be a need for puppies and I will try to produce dogs that are healthy and have a stable temperament. I also educate my buyers, and will take any dog back, any time. I urge people that want an Aussie to consider a rescue dog first. This way you get a dog whose temperament and size is known. Also the adults are housebroken and most are done with the chewing stage. We have rescued over 50 Aussies; we are proud of that and look forward in saving other Aussies lives. How can you help? We always need foster homes, food donations, telephone cards, newspaper ads, etc. If you can help please contact me or someone off the STAAR site (www.staar.org). This page is dedicated to the dogs we rescued, tried to rescue and the ones we will rescue.
