Cairns Animal Rescue was established in 2019. Since our inception, our group of passionate volunteers have managed to assist over 1,200 dogs, through rehoming and medical care. We are here to assist dogs in need across North Queensland, from the Torres Straits in the North, to as far south as Charters Towers. We are a dedicated group of volunteers who provide the highest level of care in a foster home environment, allowing us to assess each animal and ensure they meet their perfect forever family. Our foster dogs join our own dogs, cats and children and become immersed in our family – helping them become a great family member for you! Adopting a rescue dog is a very rewarding experience. Not only are you gaining a new family member, but you’re rescuing an animal from less-than-ideal circumstances. We like to think they appreciate their new family more when they’re a rescue.

Jenny’s Angels Dog Rescue, is a small team of ethical and dedicated animal lovers. They began their venture in 2016, rescuing and re-homing dogs from the local pound and surrounding country areas. Their goal was to help, rehabilitate and re-home these dogs to give them the best chance of finding the loving homes they deserve. They endeavoured to do their best for all dogs and worked with other ethical rescues to ensure the best outcomes. While working closely with their dedicated, highly experienced Animal Control officers, they re-homed over 500 dogs. They re-homed dogs and puppies of all ages, sizes and breeds that had been surrendered, seized, dumped or abandoned. After a well-earned break at the end of 2021 and reviewing their operation and mission, Jenny's Angels relaunched in 2022 with a new direction and focus to help and re-home dogs with special needs. The main focus being double merle puppies and young dogs. They made this decision in consultation with Adelaide Canine Behaviour and Training, as they have the same goals and passion to advocate for their rights to be given the chance to live the great life they deserve. Their aim is to work with rescues and owners of special needs puppies and young dogs to educate, train and re-home these special souls into their forever homes. They emphasise the importance of promoting public awareness and education about double merles and dogs with special needs. Their main focus is Double Merle and Special Needs pups and young dogs. Merle is a coat pattern found in Australian Shepherds, Collies, Shelties, and a number of other dog breeds. This particular phenotype is inherited as an autosomal, incompletely dominant trait. The merle gene creates mottled patches of colour in a solid or piebald coat, blue or odd-coloured eyes, and affects skin pigment. Animals that are “double merle,” a common term used for dogs that are homozygous (having two copies) of the merle (M/M) trait, are predominantly white and prone to several health issues. The chances of having puppies that develop health issues increase when two merles are bred together. It is recommended that a merle dog only be bred to a non-merle/non-cryptic Merle dog. Cryptic merle dogs do not appear to be merle, but contain the merle gene. Many solid dogs are actually cryptic, also known as phantom, merles and can produce both merle and double merles if not careful. Merle can affect all coat colours. Recessive red dogs can also be affected by merle, but the patches are either hardly seen or (if the dog is a clear, recessive red) are not visible at all. Combinations such as brindle merle exist, but are not typically accepted in breed standards. In addition to altering base coat colour, merle also modifies eye colour and the colouring of the nose and paw pads. The merle gene modifies the dark pigment in the eyes, occasionally changing dark eyes to blue, or only part of the eye to blue. Since Merle causes random modifications, both dark-eyed, blue-eyed, and odd-coloured eyes are possible. Colour on paw pads and nose may be mottled pink and black. If two carriers (M/m) are bred with one another, there is a 25% chance per puppy born that they will be homozygous (M/M) for the merle trait. These are also known as "double merles." A high percentage of double merle puppies have vision or hearing deficiencies. A cryptic or phantom merle is a dog which phenotypically appears to be a non-merle (solid-coloured) or a dog that has very faint patches of merle that can go unnoticed. Animals that do not present the merle phenotype may possess the merle genotype and subsequently produce merle offspring. These animals are known as cryptic merles, as they don't appear to be merle but can produce merles. Double merles are totally preventable by responsible breeding. The only way a double merle can be created is by breeding two merles. If merle to merle breeding stops, then so do double merles. Neurological issues are conditions that affect the nervous system and block or negatively affect certain nervous signals that are usually sent to the muscles. The main centres of the nervous system are the brain and spinal cord. Any condition that affects the connection between these points and the rest of the body is called a neurological disorder. These conditions are most commonly caused by diseases, injuries or other health-related abnormalities. Many health issues can be avoided with responsible breeding and education, so their purpose is to raise awareness and make a difference. They believe education and promotion of responsible dog ownership is paramount to reducing the number of "unwanted" dogs, and hope to work with others to spread the word. Their dogs are all fostered in loving homes where they experience life in a family and learn valuable lessons needed to ensure their successful transition to their new homes. All of their dogs are vet checked, vaccinated, microchipped and desexed before re-homing.

Charlie was abandoned at only 18 months old at an agistment property. He was just turned out as landowners could not find the owner. He had not seen other horses for five years when the property sold. He faced being shot where he stood, with no one wanting an unhandled, 18HH thoroughbred. FNQ Foster Farms came to the rescue. We had to walk the farm to find him and load him on a truck to bring him home. His feet had not been done for years and were huge. He was so excited to see another horse, he had thought he was the only one left on the planet. Charlie was so kind-hearted and easy to work with and ride. We successfully re-homed him to a home daycare and became their mascot. He was a big, gentle giant who loved kids and would suck on their hair if they stood too close to the fence. Charlie was the start of the FNQ Foster Farms story, but it doesn't end there. Read more about how you can support us in our rehabilitation, retraining and rehoming endeavours. Charlie was relieved to find out he wasn't the last horse left on the planet after all.

SAFE is Western Australia’s largest animal rescue organisation using the foster care model. Founded in 2003, we currently have 11 branches state-wide and have successfully rehomed more than 32,400 homeless animals. We utilise a dedicated team of volunteers, ensuring an exceptional level of care for our rescue animals and a highly effective financial model. More than 80% of money donated goes directly to animal care. We are aligned with a wide network of Australia’s most respected welfare organisations and are the West Australian arm of Companion Animal Network – Australia CAN. Although our core focus is animals, our largest impact is on the communities in which we work. We are helping people find companionship by connecting them with a pet who needs them. We are also helping to reduce the overpopulation of homeless animals by strongly advocating for animal desexing. Our organisation works so effectively because it is run by people who know their own communities. When an animal is abandoned or surrendered, our branch coordinators go about finding a foster carer from our list of volunteers. Often, SAFE teams will drive hundreds of kilometres and work late into the night to ensure an animal is safe. Amazing dedication, teamwork and a whole lot of passion means that everyone just does what they need to make it happen.

Aussie Desert Dogs is run by Gloria Morales, Warlukurlangu Art Centre's assistant manager, and supports the Aboriginal communities of Yuendumu, Nyirripi, Yulamu and surrounding areas. Gloria is dedicated to helping any animal in need, either out in community or in her own home, providing daily support, medical assistance and the provision of food. Gloria also oversees the Warlukurlangu Dogs desexing and worming program, arranging vet visits quarter yearly. Gloria is committed to the full time care of the dogs and animals in the community, taking in strays, 'sick ones' and those in between homes. Long nights can be spent caring for the sick and injured and there are no closing or clocking off times at Aussie Desert dogs HQ. Aussie Desert Dogs and Warlukurlangu Dogs Program are separate initiatives, however each relies on the other to fully support the people and animals of their communities. The Warlurlangu Dogs Program specifically funds and supports the quarter yearly desexing program that Gloria organises, bringing vet Stephen Cutter and his AMRRIC volunteers out to sterilise dogs and cats (and even horses), distribute parasitic treatment and undertake any treatments and operations required. On top of this, Aboriginal owned Warlukurlangu Art Centre provides regular funding to Aussie Desert Dogs through a percentage of sales of their paintings, to support Gloria's ongoing daily work with dogs and animals in the community and in her care. Art Centre manager Cecilia Alfonso is extremely supportive of Aussie Desert Dogs and the work Gloria does in the community, not only generating funding but also finding herself transporting dogs into town for rehoming and bringing food back into the community! Dogs and dingos hold a significant place of importance in their relationship with Aboriginal People and their culture. Valued in both the physical and spiritual realms as companions, pets, physical and spiritual protectors, water sources and warmth, they feature strongly in Jukurrpa (Dreaming and dreamtime), playing significant roles in Creation stories, song lines and ceremony. Over time, however, as dogs became more commonplace than dingos in the community, the regular breeding patterns of the dogs in communities have led to overpopulation, starvation and illness. Many communities such as Yuendumu are hundreds of kilometres away from a vet clinic and people don’t have access to simple parasitic treatments, medical care, desexing operations and vaccinations. Most of the community shops have limited stock and often don’t supply basic and important animal care products. Purchasing food and medicine can be costly and a journey to the vet, long and expensive. In the words of AMRRIC, 'Nobody should be forced to watch their beloved animal suffer simply because they cannot access treatment.'

Paws Hoofs and Claws Inc. (PHC) was formed in 2010 by a small group of dedicated animal lovers in Mount Isa, providing fostered refuge to abandoned, abused, surrendered and orphaned animals. The group was granted Incorporation status in May 2010, and the first executive committee was introduced. This provided the organisation with a more solid foundation for forward planning, as well as a more professional and recognised status throughout the community. Since that time, the organisation has gone through many changes, with a change in executive committee, as well as the introduction of standard operating procedures, providing a more structured and formalised process for animal intake, continuum of veterinary intervention as well as a more effective way of animal tracking throughout our dedicated volunteer foster carers. In November 2012, PHC was granted the status of Donation Gift Recipient by the Australian Taxation Office. This is a huge step for the future of the organisation, allowing the organisation to receive donations as well as the application for grants. There are some exciting times ahead for the organisation, our ultimate goal is to build a shelter right here in Mount Isa to provide a higher level of animal refuge the community and surrounding townships. Paws Hoofs and Claws Inc. is recognised as a Registered Charity with the Australian Taxation Office and the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission. Their mission at Paws Hoofs and Claws Inc. is to reunite lost or found animals with their owners as soon as possible, find suitable permanent homes via their adoption process for those animals which have been abandoned or neglected, rescue animals from the local pound when they have the means, address animal cruelty issues with the help of RSPCA, DPI or the Police where possible, educate the community on the suitable care of animals including information about nutrition, safe-housing, exercise and health issues plus care and social interaction, and finally, providing initial and continuum of care to any animal that comes into their care. Paws Hoofs and Claws believe in “euthanasia-free” animal welfare and rescue. They operate under this belief by striving to find suitable homes for all animals that are brought into their care. They also believe that all animals including those abandoned and neglected companion animals have the right to sustenance and healthy lifestyles, and this they provide for all their animals in foster care with full veterinary interventions as required as well as regular worming, vaccination and animals of suitable age, desexing prior to adoption. Due to limitations of our services, they do at times have the incapability of to accept all animals that require rehoming.

In 2013, Maricopa County was one of the worst places to be a pet. Shelters were facing the second-worst pet overpopulation crisis in the United States. The Arizona Humane Society was a large rescue shelter, taking in thousands of homeless animals, but there were still many pets with treatable illnesses being euthanized throughout the state. We knew a radical shift in thinking was needed to save more animal lives. So, we began systematically launching multiple initiatives to care for the most vulnerable in our community. Today, we take in the pets that other shelters can’t care for: the ones who are sick, who are injured, or who would normally be euthanized in other shelters because of their tough medical needs. We serve as a safety net for the Valley’s most vulnerable pets, and our Ethical No-Kill Philosophy™ ensures we never euthanize a pet for space or based on the length of time they’ve been with us. And every effort has been worth it. Since 2013, we’ve reduced euthanasia by 83%—that’s 130,000 additional lives saved. Here’s how we’re transforming animal welfare in Arizona. Our Emergency Animal Medical Technicians™ (EAMTs™) are out in the community seven days a week responding to reports of injured strays and abused pets. And when they find a pet who needs help, our vets are waiting for them at our Second Chance Animal Trauma Hospital™. This hospital* is the largest shelter-based trauma hospital in the Southwest, and we treat nearly 11,000 homeless pets every year. Many owners love their pets but struggle to care for them due to housing instability or financial struggles. We tackle this issue from multiple angles: Our two veterinary clinics provide affordable care and connect our customers with additional financial aid when needed. Our Pet Resource Center (PRC) connects members of our community with resources to help them keep their beloved pet. And through our Project Home Away From Home, we provide temporary pet foster care through our Foster Heroes until they’re able to get back on their feet.
