BFR animals are saved from death row in Council Pounds or have been surrendered to us through no fault of their own. We are 100% No-Kill animal rescue and believe that every one of them deserves a second chance. All our animals live with our amazing foster carers until the perfect home is found and we do not have a physical shelter location. This means that our dedicated network of foster carers are crucial to our animal rescue mission and we’re always looking to welcome new foster carers to our rescue family. If you would like to join our rescue community as a foster carer - we’d love to welcome you - please click here.

Our rescue mission is only successful due our dedicated community of volunteers, foster carers, donations and of course wonderful people like you, who are considering welcoming a rescue animal into their family.

One of the benefits of welcoming a rescue animal into your family is that you get to know them a little more from talking to their foster carer. Our animals come with all vet work complete, which is paid for from our rescue and by raising donations, dedicating our time to fundraising efforts and our foster network to help with transport and care.

We are always so grateful and sometimes desperately looking for donations to keep our rescue mission on track. If you can help or know anyone who would be kind enough to donate or fundraise, please click HERE

Millie is an amazingly smart active girl 😍 She has one beautiful blue eye and one brown one. Millie is a little on the heavy side, so at a good fit weight she would be about 15 kg. Millie can be a bit reactive on the lead but we think that she just
Millie is an amazingly smart active girl 😍 She has one beautiful blue eye and one brown one. Millie is a little on the heavy side, so at a good fit weight she would be about 15 kg. Millie can be a bit reactive on the lead but we think that she just hasn’t had the right people helping her. She is currently at our trainer's kennels and is really loving all the work and attention 😊 Millie is quite active so being bored might result in some bad habits, so if you're interesting in adopting her please tell us in your application what type of activities you would do with Millie and how you will keep her mind and body busy 👏 Millie is so smart and easy to train, you just have to be willing! You can apply to adopt Millie through her profile on Adopt-A-Dog (link in bio) 😊 . . . #dog #dogsofinstagram #dogsofqld #qld #adoptdontshop #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #rescuedog #rescuedogsrock #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescuepetsofinstagram #bordercollie #rescuemutt #bestfriendsrescue #adoptme #adoptable #adoptadog

Apologies for our absence here! We've been very busy with dogs and puppies 🐕🐕 We've recently had Buster join us, and if you're looking for a dog who loves children, he might be perfect for you! He's like to introduce himself 😊 Hi everyone my name is Buster 👋 I am great with kids, I love to go for walks on the lead and I'm not bothered by other dogs 🐶 My foster carers give me lots of cuddles and pats on the couch at night and I like nothing better than to be snuggled up next to someone 🧡 I love to play outside but would suit an inside/outside home as at the moment I do not like to be alone because i get scared. Kids are my thing, so if you’re a grandparent then I’d be a safe choice 👏 I’m house trained and I like a regular walk everyday 🐾 I hope to find my safe loving forever home soon! If you're interested in meeting me please visit my profile on Adopt-A-Dog (link in bio) and submit an enquiry! 🤗 . . . #dog #dogsofinstagram #dogsofqld #qld #adoptdontshop #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #rescuedog #rescuedogsrock #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescuepetsofinstagram #staffy #rescuemutt #bestfriendsrescue #adoptme #adoptable #adoptadog
