Welcome to Aussie Rescue of Illinois. We are a dedicated group of volunteers taking action to save the Australian Shepherd, Mini Australian Shepherds and Aussie mixes from what is a possible horrible end when left in shelters or worse yet turned lose and left to fight for survival.

Our Aussies are placed in foster homes that give them the same love and attention as if they were their own Aussies. All our Australian Shepherds are checked for Heartworm, and given the best medical treatment.

Would you like to adopt? maybe to help? Or maybe to just keep your EYES out for this wonderful breed, the Australian Shepherd. Contact Us today for more information

Meet the Thriving Three! Cookie-Tyson-Merlot

Colleen our Bloomington volunteer who I take total advantage of when ever possible was again asked to drive from Bloomington to Effingham Il and rescue 3 little Aussies I was told about last week. 1 was a red tri and the other 2 are the cool blue merles that are black and grey, all have things that wag on their butts! I guess they are tails, must be something new for those Aussies that are into new fashion accessories.

Meet Tyson, named because when he got into a fight with Cookie, I guess he went for an ear. The good tasting Cookie is fine and Tyson was asked to sit in his corner.

Tyson No, the other Tyson!

Tyson No, the other Tyson!

Cookie is a super cute little female who is named as such because of just how sweet and warm she is to people and other dogs.

Meet our real smart Cookie!

Merlot is the shyer of the 3 and told Colleen she wanted to sleep in the bed of their pickup truck for the night.

These Aussies will be placed in foster homes for evaluation and their shots and spayed and neutered, so they will be a few weeks before they are ready for adoption, keep an eye out for them.
