How a rescue group is saving dog's lives in the Australian capital

Running a foster-based rescue means understanding dogs' personalities and behaviour from the get-go is of the utmost importance. We spent the day with ACT Rescue & Foster to see their hard work in action.

ACT Rescue & Foster Inc. (ARF) is a registered charity and dedicated group of people in ACT and the surrounding region who rescue dogs from euthanasia and foster them temporarily in their own homes for as long as it takes to find them loving, permanent homes.

ARF aims to save and improve the lives of dogs in the Canberra region, as well as in surrounding regions, including metropolitan and regional Sydney, by:

  • Rescuing and re-homing as many dogs in need as possible
  • Educating the community about responsible dog companionship
  • Working with local pounds to help achieve, develop and implement minimum destruction policies and procedures, and
  • Establishing and developing networks of communication for people involved in rescuing and re-homing dogs
