Their story
In 1992, three people doing private rescue came together around a shared vision: rescuing purebred Australian Shepherds. With the support of the Australian Shepherd Club of America, they set out to build a network of volunteers that could save Aussies on a much larger scale — researching other rescue groups and writing the rules, contracts and procedures that still guide ARPH today.
