Looking for a great family pet? Would you like an Aussie, but don't want to deal with the hassles of a puppy? Consider adopting an Aussie from a rescue program! Aussie rescue is a large network of kind-hearted and very dedicated volunteers who provide foster homes for Aussies that have been abandoned, surrendered to shelters, or who have lost their families for a variety of reasons. Dogs accepted into Aussie rescue are carefully screened for health and temperament issues, and are finally matched up with the right adoptive family to be their "forever home." Why not give one of these special dogs a second chance?	DID YOU KNOW... Rescue Aussies and Aussie Mixes are eligible to compete alongside registered Aussies in many venues? Click HERE for details!
