All Herding Breed Dog Rescue of Illinois

A herding breed dog rescue in IL, we specialize in Australian Cattle Dogs, Australian Shepherds, Border Collies, Corgis, Shepherds and herding mixes.

We are an all volunteer-based, 501 C (3), state licensed, non-for-profit dog rescue in Joliet, IL, specializing in herding breed dogs that we pull from high-kill and local shelters. Our goal is to re-home happy, healthy dogs and all proceeds go towards the process and prospect of helping more herding dogs in need.

If you would like to learn more about adopting a pet, becoming a foster, or simply helping out in one way or another…please drop us a line. We'd love to have you as part of our "family".
