Dog Rescue Newcastle is a group of concerned volunteers dedicated to the rescue of abandoned, neglected or abused companion animals. We rescue dogs and cats from death row at local pounds and put them into loving foster homes until we can find permanent homes for them. To see all of our available dogs & puppies, cats & kittens click on the links under "Adopt A Pet" in the menu at left.

We are self-funded and rely solely upon animal loving people like you to help where they can. Please read more about how you can volunteer, become a foster carer or help in many other ways.

Moe, A Border Collie in a Smaller Package

Meet Moe, only 12 months old, a Standard Fox Terrier/Border Collie cross. Still very much a puppy, this boy has more than enough energy to keep up with a pack of kids.  He’s definitely a Mr Personality, but his middle name is Mischief! He loves to play and wrestle with the other dogs, but he’s also very inquisitive and tends to poke his rather long collie-like nose into anything handy. He needs to have plenty of bones or rawhide chew toys to help keep him busy. Extremely smart, Moe would excel at dog training classes, and dog sports such as agility and fly ball, as well as being an obedient family companion if you take the time to train him.

If you can offer Moe a loving home, please read Moe's full adoption profile, see more photos of him, then contact his foster carer Linda by email lryan@skymesh.com.au or phone 02-4987-1213 after 6pm Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or any time from Thursday to Sunday.
