At Dog Logics, we treat every Dog as an individual. Like humans, each dog has its own way of learning, and we draw on techniques that work with the Dog’s temperament, instinct and learning ability. Whilst working with all owner and Dog combinations, we also consider the owner’s level of skill and knowledge when putting together a successful training program. Scientific based positive and humane training methods are used at all times. Training is teaching your Dog to share a common language or words and signals. As with any communication, you and your Dog need to understand each other, and when you do, you will be amazed at just how clever Dogs really are and what can be accomplished. We now know far more not just about how Dogs experience the world through their senses, but also about how they communicate with each other (and us) through body language. We’re learning more about a Dogs’ emotional experiences and the ways in which people have been misinterpreting key signs from them over the past few decades. Understanding your Dog’s experience and gaining insight into how his mind works can truly make you a better teacher, caregiver and companion to him. Seeing the world from your Dog’s perspective will help promote communication and enhance the relationship between you.

Cairns Animal Rescue was established in 2019. Since our inception, our group of passionate volunteers have managed to assist over 1,200 dogs, through rehoming and medical care. We are here to assist dogs in need across North Queensland, from the Torres Straits in the North, to as far south as Charters Towers. We are a dedicated group of volunteers who provide the highest level of care in a foster home environment, allowing us to assess each animal and ensure they meet their perfect forever family. Our foster dogs join our own dogs, cats and children and become immersed in our family – helping them become a great family member for you! Adopting a rescue dog is a very rewarding experience. Not only are you gaining a new family member, but you’re rescuing an animal from less-than-ideal circumstances. We like to think they appreciate their new family more when they’re a rescue.

Charlie was abandoned at only 18 months old at an agistment property. He was just turned out as landowners could not find the owner. He had not seen other horses for five years when the property sold. He faced being shot where he stood, with no one wanting an unhandled, 18HH thoroughbred. FNQ Foster Farms came to the rescue. We had to walk the farm to find him and load him on a truck to bring him home. His feet had not been done for years and were huge. He was so excited to see another horse, he had thought he was the only one left on the planet. Charlie was so kind-hearted and easy to work with and ride. We successfully re-homed him to a home daycare and became their mascot. He was a big, gentle giant who loved kids and would suck on their hair if they stood too close to the fence. Charlie was the start of the FNQ Foster Farms story, but it doesn't end there. Read more about how you can support us in our rehabilitation, retraining and rehoming endeavours. Charlie was relieved to find out he wasn't the last horse left on the planet after all.

SAFE is Western Australia’s largest animal rescue organisation using the foster care model. Founded in 2003, we currently have 11 branches state-wide and have successfully rehomed more than 32,400 homeless animals. We utilise a dedicated team of volunteers, ensuring an exceptional level of care for our rescue animals and a highly effective financial model. More than 80% of money donated goes directly to animal care. We are aligned with a wide network of Australia’s most respected welfare organisations and are the West Australian arm of Companion Animal Network – Australia CAN. Although our core focus is animals, our largest impact is on the communities in which we work. We are helping people find companionship by connecting them with a pet who needs them. We are also helping to reduce the overpopulation of homeless animals by strongly advocating for animal desexing. Our organisation works so effectively because it is run by people who know their own communities. When an animal is abandoned or surrendered, our branch coordinators go about finding a foster carer from our list of volunteers. Often, SAFE teams will drive hundreds of kilometres and work late into the night to ensure an animal is safe. Amazing dedication, teamwork and a whole lot of passion means that everyone just does what they need to make it happen.

Aussie Desert Dogs is run by Gloria Morales, Warlukurlangu Art Centre's assistant manager, and supports the Aboriginal communities of Yuendumu, Nyirripi, Yulamu and surrounding areas. Gloria is dedicated to helping any animal in need, either out in community or in her own home, providing daily support, medical assistance and the provision of food. Gloria also oversees the Warlukurlangu Dogs desexing and worming program, arranging vet visits quarter yearly. Gloria is committed to the full time care of the dogs and animals in the community, taking in strays, 'sick ones' and those in between homes. Long nights can be spent caring for the sick and injured, and there are no closing or clocking off times at Aussie Desert dogs HQ. Aussie Desert Dogs and Warlukurlangu Dogs Program are separate initiatives, however each relies on the other to fully support the people and animals of their communities. The Warlurlangu Dogs Program specifically funds and supports the quarter yearly desexing program that Gloria organises, bringing vet Stephen Cutter and his AMRRIC volunteers out to sterilise dogs and cats (and even horses), distribute parasitic treatment and undertake any treatments and operations required. On top of this, Aboriginal owned Warlukurlangu Art Centre provides regular funding to Aussie Desert Dogs through a percentage of sales of their paintings, to support Gloria's ongoing daily work with dogs and animals in the community and in her care. Art Centre manager Cecilia Alfonso is extremely supportive of Aussie Desert Dogs and the work Gloria does in the community, not only generating funding but also finding herself transporting dogs into town for rehoming and bringing food back into the community! Dogs and dingos hold a significant place of importance in their relationship with Aboriginal People and their culture. Valued in both the physical and spiritual realms as companions, pets, physical and spiritual protectors, water sources and warmth, they feature strongly in Jukurrpa (Dreaming and dreamtime), playing significant roles in Creation stories, song lines and ceremony. Over time, however, as dogs became more commonplace than dingos in the community, the regular breeding patterns of the dogs in communities have led to overpopulation, starvation and illness. Many communities such as Yuendumu are hundreds of kilometres away from a vet clinic and people don’t have access to simple parasitic treatments, medical care, desexing operations and vaccinations. Most of the community shops have limited stock and often don’t supply basic and important animal care products. Purchasing food and medicine can be costly and a journey to the vet, long and expensive. In the words of AMRRIC, 'Nobody should be forced to watch their beloved animal suffer simply because they cannot access treatment.'

The Alice Springs Animal Shelter cares for animals who are currently homeless and/or have been abused or mistreated. We provide warm, dry, clean, safe shelter, food, love, medical attention and a place to call their own while they’re waiting to be adopted. Our objective is simple… to give voiceless animals in need a second chance at life!

We provide warm, dry, clean, safe shelter, food, love, medical attention and a place to call their own while they’re waiting to be adopted. The Alice Springs Animals Shelter is here to assist the community in reuniting lost animals with their owners. You may not be aware of the enormous value of a leaving a bequest in your will to an organisation like the Alice Springs Animal Shelter. After loved ones have been provided for, there is no better way to continue to support the cause in which you care about and believe in than to leave a donation. A bequest to the Alice Springs Animal Shelter will help stray, and abandoned animals continue to be given every chance to find a home where they can receive the love, comfort and attention they deserve. Monetary bequests ensure the animals of Alice Springs, that have unfortunately seen the adverse side of life through inappropriate human behaviour, will be given the second chance at life that they so much deserve.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Queensland (RSPCA Qld) is the state’s leading animal welfare charity, dedicated to improving the lives of all domestic, farmed and native animals throughout Queensland. Formed in 1883 in Queensland, animals have been turning to us for nearly 140 years. From one Inspector and several supporters in its fledgling years, the Society has grown to have over 415 staff throughout the state, generously supported by volunteers. Every person who works directly or indirectly with the RSPCA is dedicated to increasing the opportunities and improving the quality of life of each animal in their care. RSPCA Queensland is a non-government, community based charity. Caring for over 45,000 animals every year, RSPCA Queensland relies heavily on the generosity of animal lovers in the community to continue to provide lifesaving services to animals in need. Our operations are 96% funded by donations from thoughtful Queenslanders, just like you. In addition to caring for sick, injured and displaced domestic animals and wildlife, RSPCA Queensland is the only charity in the state with the power to prosecute animal cruelty and neglect under the Animal Care and Protection Act (2001). Our mission statement is simple, but powerful: Together We Change Lives. The RSPCA is a community based charity that works to improve the welfare of all animals and prevent cruelty. We are an active participant in national and state-based RSPCA campaigns to improve animal welfare in Queensland and throughout Australia. Our campaigns are based on the principles enshrined in the Five Freedoms, and are designed to raise public awareness about important animal welfare issues. We also aim to keep pressure on the people who have the power to make positive change. Above all else, at RSPCA Qld our focus is on saving lives. Our centres throughout Queensland are where we rescue, rehabilitate and rehome. For the 45,043 animals that arrived at an RSPCA Queensland centre over the past year, it was a second chance at life. Our commitment to saving lives can be found everywhere at the RSPCA. “Have I done everything reasonable to save this animal?” can be found near offices, on our software and as part of the landscape. Saving lives is a way of life and one that the staff and volunteers are committed to.

Here at Capricorn Animal Aid (CAA) we care about those unwanted, stray, neglected and abused animals and feel that every one of them deserves the opportunity to have a caring and loving forever home.​ Capricorn Animal Aid Organisation Inc (CAA) was founded in September 1998 when it was recognised that there was a desperate need for an organisation to meet the needs of abandoned and unwanted dogs and cats in the Rockhampton area. CAA provides care and attention (including veterinary care, shelter and food) to unwanted, stray, neglected and abused animals. CAA does not have a shelter. All animals are ‘fostered’ by generous and caring volunteers who provide a home and lots of love to the animals in their care until they find new human companions to share their lives with. CAA is not subsidised in any way. We are run by volunteers. Funding comes from the generosity of the people of Central Queensland and beyond through donations, membership and support of our various fundraising activities. CAA is a registered charity and incorporated association. Sometimes situations arise where you can no longer care for your pet. Capricorn Animal Aid take a limited number of surrenders (dependent on circumstances, finances and availability of foster carers). If you would like help rehoming your pet please fill out the application form under Surrendering. This will be assessed by the committee and a representative will contact you with a response. Please note this may take up to 7 days. As we have limited places, and receive many applications, please consider all other options such as family and friends before applying. In addition to finding new homes for Central QLDs cats and dogs, we also offer a desexing subsidy for eligible members of the Central QLD community.

They are also socialised in the homes of loving foster carers, not in cages or kennels. We care where our pets go. A pre-adoption interview and property check are required before adopting. The volunteer group formerly known as Team RSPCA Gladstone transitioned into this local independent not-for-profit association in August 2019. With many years’ experience in animal welfare – our mission is to: Rescue and rehome unwanted, abused, neglected and/or surrendered animals (including dogs, cats, birds, pocket pets and reptiles).

RedRover's mission is to bring animals out of crisis and strengthen the bond between people and animals through emergency sheltering, disaster-relief services, financial assistance, and education. We accomplish this by engaging volunteers and supporters, collaborating with others, and maximizing the use of online technology. The RedRover Relief program provides financial assistance, resources, training, and support to individuals and organizations. RedRover recognizes the deep systemic racism within the animal welfare sector. Our mission is to help animals in crisis and strengthen our relationships with animals – but the lives of animals do not exist in a vacuum. We cannot fully and effectively help animals without looking deeply at ourselves and how we treat one another. Therefore, we see diversity, inclusion, and equity as integral and vital to the success of our mission, as well as to the wellbeing of our staff, volunteers, and the people and communities we serve. Our 35th Anniversary in 2022 provides a wonderful opportunity to reflect on our history. One of our founding values was collaboration, and sticking to this value for 35 years has created countless benefits for RedRover and the thousands of animals we help each year. Our collaborative spirit is apparent in our staff as well as on a RedRover Responders deployment, and collaboration is part of all our programs whether working with schools, veterinary offices, agencies, and other nonprofits. Over the past five years, RedRover's caring volunteers have generously given 17,388 hours of their time providing emergency sheltering and care for rescued animals and helping children develop empathy for animals.

Petswelcome.com was started in 1997 by Chris Kingsley and Fred Grayson, two passionate dog (or cat or both) owners who wanted to find pet-friendly hotels, bed and breakfasts and inns that accept dogs, cats and other favorite creatures we didn't want to leave behind whenever we got the urge to hit the road, whether it be for pleasure or business. Since those early days we've greatly expanded the site to include pet-friendly vacation rentals, cafes, bars and parks, as well as a pet friendly road trip planner that allows you to create your own itinerary with pet friendly properties along the way. We're also the only pet friendly travel site that allows you to search hotels by the type and size of pets you have, as well as the amount of pet fee a particular hotel charges. And you can save that information in our Petswelcome Passport Program so that anytime you do a search for a property, you don't have to wade through tons of hotels that don't match your pets' needs and your own preferences. We also give in-depth commentary about the places you want to visit, whether it is a city like Las Vegas or a vacation destination such as Cape Cod, the Outer Banks, the Upper Peninsula or dozens of other popular tourist sites. In addition, we also have you and your pet covered by enabling you to create a pet emergency evacuation plan so that you can find pet friendly hotels and, if need be, shelters at safe locations in the unfortunate event of a natural disaster such as hurricane occurring in your area. Throughout the years, we have worked hard to make Petswelcome.com a reflection of our love for our pets in all their diversity, capturing their personalities, dignity, humor and quirks throughout the entire site. We understand, as only pet owners can, that pets are not just animals that live in our homes and whom we sometimes take on trips—they are a choice we make, a lifestyle, to enrich our everyday lives with their love, dedication, enthusiasm, endless good cheer and, yes, even occasional grumpiness. We look forward to expanding the like-minded community of traveling pet owners by helping make it easier and more rewarding for you to take your pets anywhere.

Big Dog Ranch Rescue was founded in 2008; since then, we have saved the lives of more than 48,500 dogs. Our mission is to save 5,000 dogs every year, to heal and place them with loving families and to educate people about the proper care for dogs and the importance of spaying and neutering. Every aspect of our world-class, 33-acre campus has been designed to rescue homeless and abandoned dogs and to provide loving, emotional and medical care for thousands of dogs as we prepare them for their forever families. From the state of the art medical Intake and Quarantine Buildings, designed so that no rooms share air to minimize cross contamination to Puppy Land, created for pregnant Moms to give birth to their litters in a stress-free cabin with an attached play yard, the attention to detail of every corner of the Big Dog Ranch Rescue Campus is unparalleled. We believe in enhancing the lives of dogs and the community through education and partnership of specific groups on a national and global level.

In 2013, Maricopa County was one of the worst places to be a pet. Shelters were facing the second-worst pet overpopulation crisis in the United States. The Arizona Humane Society was a large rescue shelter, taking in thousands of homeless animals, but there were still many pets with treatable illnesses being euthanized throughout the state. We knew a radical shift in thinking was needed to save more animal lives. So, we began systematically launching multiple initiatives to care for the most vulnerable in our community. Today, we take in the pets that other shelters can’t care for: the ones who are sick, who are injured, or who would normally be euthanized in other shelters because of their tough medical needs. We serve as a safety net for the Valley’s most vulnerable pets, and our Ethical No-Kill Philosophy™ ensures we never euthanize a pet for space or based on the length of time they’ve been with us. And every effort has been worth it. Since 2013, we’ve reduced euthanasia by 83%—that’s 130,000 additional lives saved. Here’s how we’re transforming animal welfare in Arizona. Our Emergency Animal Medical Technicians™ (EAMTs™) are out in the community seven days a week responding to reports of injured strays and abused pets. And when they find a pet who needs help, our vets are waiting for them at our Second Chance Animal Trauma Hospital™. This hospital* is the largest shelter-based trauma hospital in the Southwest, and we treat nearly 11,000 homeless pets every year. Many owners love their pets but struggle to care for them due to housing instability or financial struggles. We tackle this issue from multiple angles: Our two veterinary clinics provide affordable care and connect our customers with additional financial aid when needed. Our Pet Resource Center (PRC) connects members of our community with resources to help them keep their beloved pet. And through our Project Home Away From Home, we provide temporary pet foster care through our Foster Heroes until they’re able to get back on their feet.

Austin Pets Alive! was founded by local attorney James Collins and his then-wife Judy Ford as an all-volunteer advocacy group to help increase homeless companion animal lifesaving. Our story hasn't necessarily been for the faint of heart. Austin Pets Alive! began when vulnerable, homeless pets truly needed us the most. When we were first imagined, Austin had a kill-rate of 87% – today, we have a save-rate of 97%. Through hardships, we have found inspiration; and through this inspiration, we have saved lives. APA! is not a typical shelter setting. Our innovative programs save more than 10,000 animals from euthanasia annually, keeping Austin no-kill since 2011. Austin Pets Alive! (APA!) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping to Keep Austin No Kill. Since 2008, APA! has saved over 100,000 dogs and cats from being killed at Central Texas shelters.

The Animal Defense League got its start as part of the Child Protective & Humane Society, which began operating in 1923. This was an initiative to help children, companion animals and beasts of burden. In 1934 the Animal Defense League was incorporated and became a new organization with a mission to prevent cruelty to animals. Over the years our mission has expanded from providing basic shelter and care to finding permanent homes for the thousands of dogs, cats, puppies and kittens annually. In the early 1960s, ADL moved to its present location in northeast San Antonio. Our Nacogdoches campus encompasses more than 12 acres and includes an adoption center, kennel buildings, a cattery complex, an education center, a two-acre pet park, and a separate clinic for on-site ADL animal surgeries and medical care. In 2004, housing was expanded with the addition of two kennels built to house canines and in 2014, three additional kennels were built in partnership with the city of San Antonio further increasing canine housing by an additional 69 runs. In 2016 ADL expanded its service locations when it was awarded the operating contract for a second City owned, tenant operated 3.4 acre campus, The Paul Jolly Center for Pet Adoptions. The Animal Defense League of Texas takes in rescued cats and dogs, provides medical treatment, nutrition, and shelter in a safe, live release facility until they are matched with their forever families. Through community education and empowerment, we advocate for truly responsible pet ownership.

The Animal Foundation of Las Vegas, founded in 1978 as a low-cost spay and neuter clinic, is one of the highest volume single-site animal shelters in America. Our mission is to save the lives of all healthy and treatable animals in the Las Vegas valley. Much like a public hospital, as an open-admission shelter, The Animal Foundation takes in every animal who comes to us in need, no matter how sick or injured. From the expected dogs, cats, and rabbits, to pigs, chickens, and exotic animals, we serve them all. Just like a hospital, we can’t save them all. What we can do, with the support of the community, is save every healthy and treatable animal who comes to us in need.
