Don't want to adopt
but do want to help?
We depend on donations to supplement our adoption fees.
Sometimes, the cost to rescue a dog far exceeds our adoption fee.
We accept checks or Paypal.
You'll receive a letter acknowledging your gift for your tax records.
You can also help by visiting our Paws To Shop section.
Thank you in advance for your generosity!
Donate with PayPal
(You don't need to have a PayPal account yourself.)
You can do a little or a lot:
no experience necessary!
Make reference check phone calls, do home visits, help with transporting dogs, fundraise, maintain webpages, help at rescue booths, or become a foster home.
Your fellow New Spirit volunteers will be there to help every step of the way!
What we do: We evaluate Australian Shepherds and Australian Shepherd mixes from selected shelters and private owners no longer able to keep their Aussies. If we judge a dog suitable for placement with an average adopter, we foster it in private homes and get to know the dog. We then post the dog to our website and place it in an adoptive home where the energy levels, expectations and personalities are a good fit.
Think of us as a "doggie dating service"!

Special Appeal
What do all these New Spirit dogs have in common?
Heartworms!
Heartworms are a terrible problem for a dog, one that will kill them if left untreated. An infected mosquito bites the dog injecting microfilaria that grow into worms. The worms anchor in the blood vessels leading to the heart, drastically reducing its ability to pump blood.
New Spirit has taken in quite a few heartworm positive dogs, as you can see.
Our average cost to treat each dog is over $400.
The great news is that the treatment we can provide with your help leaves the dog healthy and ready for a long, full life!
Won't you help us help the many heartworm positive Aussies that will otherwise be left behind in shelters and put to death due to the high cost of treating them?
Donations can be made through PayPal in any amount.
Any money donated above and beyond the needs of the dog will go to other program dogs needing extra help.
And please: treat your own dog year round with a monthly heartworm preventative, such as Interceptor or Heartgard, available from your vet.
Not only will it prevent heartworms, it will also protect against common intestinal worms your dog might pick up at the dog park or out on a neighborhood walk.
