South Texas Aussie Rescue, Inc. (STAR), located in Houston, TX, is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) adoption and referral service dedicated to placing homeless or abandoned Australian Shepherds in loving, permanent homes. All representatives and foster homes are volunteers - they receive no compensation and do it only for the love of the breed.
All Aussies available for adoption have been temperment and health checked, spayed/neutered, heartworm checked and put on preventative (and treated if positive), and are current on their vaccinations. If a suitable dog is found for you to adopt, we do ask for a small adoption fee to help us cover any medical work we've done and to help us continue helping other Aussies in need. Your additional donations and assistance are greatly needed as well and are very much appreciated!

| We use Patented Kuranda Dog Beds because they are durable, chew proof and easy to clean. If you would like to donate a bed to us, click here. |
Rescue Pet Supply (RescuePetStore.Com) is dedicated to benefiting animal
rescue organizations throughout the U.S. by selling a quality product, at
a reasonable price and donating a portion of each sale to animal rescue. We
opened our virtual (online) doors in December of 2003.
Each time you make a purchase on RescuePetStore.Com you are given the opportunity to select an animal rescue group to receive your donation. A portion of your sale is then sent to the rescue organization you have chosen. This does not cost you an extra penny.
We believe strongly in, and support the efforts of, animal rescue organizations* throughout the country. These volunteers provide help and homes to abandoned and abused animals and can only continue to accomplish this through the support of individuals like you. So, when you purchase products from Rescue Pet Store a portion of your order (10%) goes to the animal rescue group* of your choice.
At checkout you will find a list of names labeled "Rescue Organization" from which to select the name of the "rescue group" to which you would like to contribute. We contribute 10% of the total purchase price (less shipping and applicable taxes) on orders greater than $20.00 to the rescue group you select during checkout. If you come to our store via an affiliate link on a rescue group website, the group earns 10% with no minimum order.
