Arizona "Aussies" Rescues

Australian Shepherd Rescue

The Australian Shepherd, or Aussie, is a playful breed that provides excellent companionship to active children. Aussies are smart, trainable, protective, and eager to please. Australian Shepherds are gentle with humans and aggressive when herding farm animals.

Aussies are active even when

indoors and do best with plenty of exercise in a large yard.

Aussie And Friends Rescue

Our mission is to rehabilitate and re-home displaced Australian Shepherds, including Mini's and sometimes when we can we will

help their friends.

We believe Aussie's deserve a second chance. We get our Aussies into rescue in various ways. Many of these animals were abandoned at shelters or turned into rescue for various reasons including owner death, divorce or home loss.
