Do you have a special home for these special Aussies?

He is SOOO sweet- this little guy may be blind but he is a real charmer. He wags his tail and sniffs the ground to find things. He loves having company and getting treats- he kept wagging his tail. He is around 8 years old and weighs 12 lbs, He has a beautiful red coat. Can you be that special person to look beyond his eyes and see the wonderful, loving little dog that he is?
Please contact Blind Dog Rescue

Australian Terrier Rescue Inc. is a nonprofit organization ( CERTIFICATE OF GOOD STANDING ) that was formed to take care of Australian Terriers who could no longer be cared for by their owners, who were abandoned or mistreated, or who were in need of care because of the death or illness of their owner. Our primary role is to ensure that dogs are placed in warm loving homes where they may live out their lives bringing joy and companionship to their new owners.

This organization is made up entirely of people who volunteer their time and money to foster and place these little dogs in caring, loving homes. Almost all the dogs that come into Rescue need rehabilitation and training by the new foster and adoptive owners who are supported and supervised by experienced members of Rescue. All dogs that come into Rescue will be neutered or spayed before they are placed in new homes. It is remarkable how well these dogs respond to this rehabilitation and we have many testaments from new owners about the joy that has indeed been brought to them by these little dogs. The expenses of this rescue work are paid for solely by tax-deductible private donations and fund-raising activities.

Most of the dogs we take into rescue are older, have a disability, or often come in pairs. We do sometimes get dogs that are between 4-6 years old. We very seldom have young dogs. If you are truly interested in a rescue dog that is an older dog, or a dog with a disability, please email us via the form on ADOPT US with a description of your yard, house and family and the reasons you want to rescue an Australian Terrier. We will keep your name on file and contact you whenever a dog is available for rescue. We are desperately in need of foster homes and sponsors for our older and disabled dogs. We pay the veterinary fees for these dogs and are grateful for any donations. If you are interested in donating, time or money, please go to DONATE/SUPPORT

If you are interested in a puppy, please go to ATCA BREEDER REFERRAL. Please do not buy a puppy from a pet shop as the majority of these puppies are from puppy mills, which condemn their breeding dogs to life in dirty, dark cages.
