Cattle Dog Rescue in Australia
Hello,
 
I am working with Australian Cattle Dog Rescue to try and save ACDs/Heelers from pounds and get them rehomed and I know most of you are dog lovers or know people who are.
 
We are in need of helpers/volunteers/contributors as well as people who can foster/transport or adopt a dog.
 
Even if you cannot adopt or foster there are many other small ways that anyone can help to save a life. If you have a generous heart and want to assist us in our efforts please have a read of the list below and contact me at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it if you can help in any way at all. Just mention in your email where you are and what you think you can do to help.
 
I am also setting up a newsletter/notification email list to let people know what dogs are needing help and where they are. If you want to be on this email distribution please let me know and I will include you.
 
Don't be scared by the list below; it's only 100 ways in which a person can help :)

Welcome to the Cairns Dog Registry
Have you ever worried about your dog escaping your yard and roaming the streets, not knowing how to get home?
 
Have you ever found a stray dog and wanted to find its owners without having to call the Council for help?
 
Are you a shelter who has had a dog handed in and you have no clue where it came from? 
 
Well, that's where we come in. We are aiming to help reunite owners with their dogs in the event of them going missing.
 
We offer a free service that allows you, the owner, to enter the details of your dog, including its name, colour, breed, sex and any distinguishing marks so that anyone finding your dog can look it up and match it to the correct owner.
 
Our service is also free for anyone who finds a dog; they can search for a dog matching its description and if not found on our database, you can enter the dogs details yourself so that its owner, when looking for it, can search for it here.
 
The more information you can enter pertaining to the dog, the more likely it is that you will be reunited. This includes your Council tag number, microchip number, and any other information that will help to identify your dog in the case of it going missing.
 
Please register and log in to see all our listed dogs and to enter details of your own.
 

Don't forget to come back and enter your dog/s after you have confirmed your registration by validating your email address. 

 
Please make use of the site and let us know if you have any suggestions for additional features.
