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!

Hi there my name is Carmella, and I’m a very sweet girl. I’m new here to the shelter and a little nervous with the loud noises around me but if we have a nice quiet place I warm up quick and want to be right next to you. I know how to sit for treats and enjoy pets on my head. I love to chase squeaky toys, but i’m still learning how to bring them back to you! I love being around my humans and if you take things slow with me I will be a loyal companion for life, come down and visit me to see if we are a match!
