On July 23rd, 2010, Aussie Rescuers here in Southern California lost one o
f their own, a very dear, fellow rescuer, Jacinta Stockton, passed away.  I first got to know her years ago after she adopted their first Aussie, Charlie, out of a local shelter.  Jacinta contacted me wanting to help our rescue efforts, little did she know what she was getting into!   Their very first foster dog, Angie, never left  ;}   Over the years she has helped save many many Aussies and kept me going many many times when I just wanted to give up doing rescue - her sense of humor and ability to 'cut through the crap' made me laugh and say, 'ok, I'm not quitting today'.  Jacinta did everything with a passion, from doing the rescue, to nursing, to diving with her husband, to adoring her granddaughter - she was an awesome person and I only hope I was as good a friend to her as she was to me. 

One of the passions we shared was for the senior Aussies needing help - whether they were abandoned, lost, sick, just needed a caring, loving place to be for whatever time they had left, those were the ones that got to us both and made us sqeeezzzeee one more into our own homes.  Because of this, we are starting up a fund in her honor, specifically to help senior Aussies in need....still working out the details/parameters, but Jacinta's Fund is beginning.  If you are interested in it, feel free to contact me: aussierescuesocal@earthlink.net
In loving memory of our friend, Jacinta -
- we are missing you tremendously, but I know there are some Aussies keeping you company that are very happy to see you again -

Update on the parvo puppies w/Katie, Aussie Rescue in Quartz Hill:
Hello everyone,
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR GENEROUS DONTATIONS!!!!  Thes puppies are all doing well and back to their old selves for the most part. Sampson the red merle boy and Hank the blk tri boy are full of vim and vigor awaiting there forever home and actively seeking it. Mom Sadee is 100 % and actively looking for her forever home as well. Fabrajee the red tri girl is still not 100% but getting there - hardest part is getting her to eat.   I want to thank  all of you who were so generous in your donations to help save these puppies.  We were able to raise over $3,000.00 in donations which is something I have a hard time imagining  :)  You all are heroes in my book  :) Our final bill was over $4500.00 between both the ER hospital and North Valley Vet Clinic's bill.  I am still paying the rest off with Dr. Bosma at North Valley Vet Clinic.  I just cannot thank you all enough for the help.The pups are still here because of your donations! Horray!!   - Katie

This site is a networking of several different rescue volunteers, some affiliated with a national rescue group, some doing aussie rescue privately.  A portion of the dogs pictured here are in volunteer foster homes for a rescue, in which case there is usually a phone interview, an adoption application to fill out and a home check to be done, varying from group to group....most all ask for a donation and have a contract to sign regarding the adoption.  All of the dogs are spayed/neutered and current on their vaccinations prior to being put up for adoption.  There are also dogs that are still in the private homes and we are merely trying to help the owner re-home their dog by way of referral....no fee or contract to any rescue required.   We don't help them sell their dog, but we do require that the dog be altered before we will post it to the site so the owner may ask for reimbursement of that cost, if it was done to meet our requirements.  Any placement/home requirements for these dogs are up to their owner.  Each of the dogs pictured has a contact person listed with them, via e-mail addy and/or phone number and you would need contact that person directly for more information of any dog you are interested in.
