This week, we are remembering dogs like Lila and Joker.

They were two “Buddy Fund” dogs that ACDRA committed to save, but didn't make it to adoption. While their story is sad, please keep in mind that these two precious souls were given a chance because ACDRA committed to them and provided EVERY medical option possible. Lila and Joker were out of the shelter, loved, cared for, and supported by many. ACDRA was able to do this because of donations - and this is what our Buddy Fund is for - to help dogs with extreme medical cases. Watch their video to help us remember them.





What's ACDRA? We're the Australian Cattle Dog Rescue Association, and we need your help! Every year we average around 300 dogs being placed into furever homes. We are known for ACDs (& mixes), especially those who are often overlooked due to medical or behavioral issues. More often than not, these wonderful dogs are merely misunderstood and dropped at a shelter for no true wrong doings. From being HW+ to having Parvo to being hit by a car to needing an amputation, ACDs are extremely resilient, loyal, velcro dogs when they find their true owner. In order to continue taking in these amazing pups with even more amazing spirit & heart, we are asking for your help! All donations from this year's Saving Pets Challenge will go towards our Buddy Fund, which is set aside just for these special babes. We'd like to introduce you to a few of the pups your donations from last year helped us pull from bad situations, tell you about their journey, and where they are now. Won't you join us for another year of amazing saves????
