While these Australian Shepherds in need aren’t in our region, we know the call will go out to breed rescues all over the country to help save these dogs. The raid found 3 homes on the property filled with dogs (Aussies) in cages, all were filled with wet urine and feces.

These animals were being kept by a rescue! This is why we agree with the state laws to license rescues, even though there is a fee, we feel proving you are doing as you claim, is important. There are just as many backyard rescues as there are backyard breeders. The rescue was named Elliot’s Friends Rescue and I am sure was started with the best of intentions. The sad outcome, many may end up put to sleep because of medical issues to far ignored.

South Texas Aussie Rescue

We are expecting calls from the Texas SPCA as well as the Aussie Rescues operating in Duncanville Texas area. While we can’t take them all, we do feel we should help with a few, it’s our duty as a breed rescue to help our breed we love, and to offer our assistance when a situation like this arises.

We are asking you to think hard, and if you can open your home to an Aussie, maybe not one of these but one in our region, we can then open one of our more experienced homes to help take in a few. If you are in the Texas area, consider locating a rescue that you can foster for, or donate to that rescue to help them overcome the financial hardships these dogs will create.

Don’t wait, help today.
