Owner Surrendered Dogs

Rescuers understand that circumstances in a home may often change resulting in a dog requiring  adoption by a new family.  NS4AR GA prefers to focus our efforts on  dogs facing euthanasia in GA shelters.  Owner surrendered dogs are accepted into our program only when it is determined that doing so is in the best interest of the dog.

  • Dogs currently housed with their owners are safe and are often more successfully placed through our referral process.  Your dog is posted on our site, and potential adopters contact you directly regarding adoption.   Keep in mind that you know the dog best and placing your dog in foster care means a dog may not survive in a GA shelter.

  • Please email a photo and short biography of your dog to Rachael Eley at Catmndu@gmail.com.

  • The GA Department of Agriculture prohibits rescue groups from listing any dogs over the age of 6 months old that are not spayed/neutered.  Email Rachael for low cost spay/neuter options in your area.


Stray Dogs

NS4AR appreciates the efforts of private citizens who assist stray Aussies found in the state of GA.  However, it is illegal to confiscate an animal and rehome it without consent of the owner.  If you’ve found an Aussie, please contact your local animal control facility to educate yourself on the animal control laws in your area.  If the dog must be taken to the shelter, you can contact NS4AR with the shelter information and we will make every attempt possible to evaluate the dog for foster care when the stray hold for the dog has expired.
