A non-profit adoption and referral service for Australian Shepherds
 
Foster Home Application
 
 
Do you love Aussies and have room in your home and heart for just one more? If so, South Texas Aussie Rescue, Inc. (STAR) needs your help!  Each year, we take in 30-40 homeless Aussies and get calls for at least that many more that we cannot take in because we don't have room to foster them. But with your help we can!  Knowing you helped save an Aussie's life and helped get them ready to be placed in a permanent, loving home is a very rewarding experience. Whether it's temporary or long term fostering you can do, your help is very much appreciated!
 
If you live in the the South Texas area and wish to apply to foster Aussies for STAR, please complete this application and then click on the send button at the bottom of the page to submit your application.  **Please note that this form will not work for AOL users, so please contact Kristi Muck at  Info@staraussierescue.org  for an application to be sent to you**
