Who Are We? Aussie Rescue & Placement Helpline,Inc. (ARPH) is a National Organization dedicated to the rescue and re-homing of the Australian Shepherd. ARPH Inc., is non-profit, and 501(c)3. All donations are tax-deductible. Aussie Rescue & Placement Helpline Inc., is recognized as the Official Rescue group for the Australian Shepherd Club of America (ASCA). Learn more about ARPH, Inc. Adoption Application - ARPH's standard adoption fee for a fully vetted dog is US$200. Any donations above the standard fee will help to offset any necessary expenses and are tax deductible (for U.S. residents only). Occasionally, the fee may be lowered for special needs dogs and some senior dogs. Unaltered puppies require an additional spay/neuter deposit which is refunded upon proof of spay/neuter, per ARPH's adoption contract. HELP SUPPORT AUSSIE RESCUE & PLACEMENT HELPLINE, INC. (ARPH) Although ARPH charges an adoption fee for Aussies we place in new homes, this is never enough to cover our expenses. Ordinary vet costs (vaccinations, spay/neuter, heartworm test and preventative, etc.) often exceed adoption fees, and we never recoup the day-to-day, miscellaneous expenses of housing foster dogs. When we commit to a dog that requires special care or surgery, these costs can become exorbitant. Sometimes foster space isn't available, and we may need to board a dog temporarily. All of these costs quickly add up. We need your help to be able to provide the best care possible for homeless Australian Shepherds. Giving a donation to our organization not only helps pay for ordinary expenses, but also helps us with our many extraordinary expenses. This donation is tax deductible too!! If you're interested in helping ARPH, please call 1-877-ARPH-779 leave your name, City/State, phone number (with area code), and say that you are interested in helping. Or send an e-mail to Tracey-West Coast, Mary-West Coast, Ned-East Coast or Barb & Dan-North with your offer. We have no shelter, all dogs are in foster care in private homes Aussie Rescue & Placement Helpline, Inc Orlando, FL 32725 Phone: 1-877-ARPH-779
