Adoption Procedure
If you find an Aussie on this web site that interests you, Click Here for an adoption application. If you have trouble downloading this application please copy and paste the application at the bottom of this page into a word document and send by E-mail to westernaussierescue@gmail.com Adoption applications can also be sent directly from Western Australian Shepherd Rescue. To learn more about an Aussie listed, contact us at westernaussierescue@gmail.com.
After the completion of the adoption application a WASR representative will contact you usually within 7 days. After a review of the application and reference check, an in-home check is scheduled whenever possible. In Wyoming this is tough because of the distance between towns. The in-home checks serve multiple purposes. Often times the rescue representative that is doing the home check will bring one of their Aussies to the potential adopters home. This gives the adopter the opportunity to see what is like to have an Aussie in the house and meet an Aussie in person. This also gives the rep the opportunity to get a feel for the environment the "to be adopted" Aussie will be living in. We want to be sure that we have the best possible match between dog and owner. Western Aussie Rescue asks for a rescue donation of $300 to help cover the costs of spay/neuter, vaccinations, heartworm test, microchip ID, and other office, foster we incur.
In cases of long distance adoptions, the responsibility of transportation for the adopted Aussie is that of the adopters. When possible, Western Australian Shepherd Rescue will assist. We have a fairly good network of transporters willing to transport dogs when need arises.
To find out how to adopt, surrender, or list an Aussie on the Web site contact Annette by E-mail at westernaussierescue@gmail.com For additional information on any dogs listed please contact the listed person below the dogs biography.

A rescue dog MAY have experienced an unfortunate history of one or more of the following: neglect, abuse, abandonment, loneliness, insecurity, distrust. A period of adjustment (days for some, weeks for some) should be expected in some instances. Often the new dog is so grateful and overwhelmed with your show of love, devotion and consistency that she/he relaxes immediately and opens her/his heart to you. In either case, a rescue dog is almost always grateful, loyal, very affectionate, eager to please and very companionable.
Western Aussie Rescue asks for a rescue donation of $300 effective August 15, 2017 to help cover the costs of spay/neuter, vaccinations, heartworm test, microchip ID, and other office, foster and transport costs we incur.
