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 dogs, weeks for others) should be expected. Providing kind, consistent love and care to the new dog will help them learn to trust and relax into their new home. With time most rescue dogs become loyal, affectionate, eager to please, and wonderful companions.

Western Australian Shepherd Rescue's adoption donation ranges from $400-$650 to help with the costs of spay/neuter, vaccinations, heartworm test, microchip ID, and other administrative and foster care costs we incur. Depending on location of the dog, a transport fee may be added to the adoption fee. The rescue donation is due at the time of placement. Submission of your application does not guarantee placement of a dog. Applicants must agree to a home visit if asked for one.

I understand that any misrepresentation of fact may result in the removal of the placed dog from my home.

I understand that Western Aussie Rescue is not responsible for the accuracy of information received about the temperament habits or physical condition of dogs available for adoption. Western Aussie Rescue is neither liable nor responsible for any damage, injury or accident resulting from the placement of this dog. I will accept the responsibilities for the health, housing, feeding, training and companionship of this dog.
