Dogs in Southern California Shelters

This page is in memory of Karyl Heathman who was an amazing leader in our Aussie Rescue community. She inspired many and is greatly missed. Karyl’s passion was to work with others to find loving safe homes for Aussies. She loved helping Aussies and herding mixes.

The dogs listed on this page are currently in shelters. For more information, please contact the listed shelter directly. If you find your next furry family member on this page, you can thank Karyl!
