Adopt a Australian Shepherd in Rhode Island

Australian Shepherds are smart, work-oriented, and exuberant herding dogs. They end up in rescue when families can't provide enough physical and mental exercise. An adopted Aussie will thrive with an active owner who gives them a job to do.

Rhode Island's rescue dog community is small and runs heavily on transport from Southern states. Organizations in Providence and across the state partner with high-volume shelters elsewhere. A rescued Rhode Island dog has typically traveled north through one of these networks.
