Who We Are
Australian Terrier Rescue is a (501)(c)(3) nonprofit organization 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 death or illness of the 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.
Our Mission
Our Mission and our goal is to provide emergency, regular or long-term assistance for both the Aussie and the adoptive home. Evaluate, restore and rehabilitate the physical and behavioral health of the Aussie, transport, foster, and properly place in an appropriate, loving home that will ensure the best possible future for the dog.
The expense of this rescue work is paid for solely by tax-deductible, private donations and fundraising activities.
Do you have a home for Gunny?
Northern California Region
Gunny is a neutered male Australian Terrier mix weighing 15 lbs that came to us when his owner entered memory care. Although he is 12 years old, he has a zest for life, enjoys a ride in the car or a walk in the park. His recent dental work left him with 7 healthy teeth, so he will require having softened food moving forward. He would be best with an adult only, single dog home. He has some cloudiness in his eyes but appears to see fine and gets around with no issue. He is up to date on vaccines and has a good appetite. He came in rather rotund and now has a much more youthful figure! He would be a lovely companion to the right home - please consider this older fellow.
