The DogFather Rescue
Love. Care. Second chances.
That’s the promise of The DogFather Rescue for every dog who needs us.
about us
Because every dog deserves a place to belong.
The DogFather Rescue Inc. is a volunteer-run not-for-profit dog rescue based in Northern NSW. We are dedicated to giving dogs in need a second chance through rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming.
Most of our dogs come directly into our care facility, where they receive safety, stability and professional support from the moment they arrive. Others are welcomed into the homes of our amazing foster carers who provide kindness, comfort and a nurturing space while they wait for their forever families.
Every dog receives full veterinary treatment, quality nutrition and personalised behavioural support to help them heal, rebuild confidence and prepare for a bright future.
At The DogFather Rescue Inc., we believe rescue is a community effort. With the support of our volunteers, foster carers, and the wider community, we’re proud to change lives and create hope one wagging tail at a time.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to transform the lives of dogs in need by providing rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming services, while educating and collaborating with our community to create a kinder, safer world for all dogs.
Every donation, big or small, is truly appreciated!
With you by our side, no dog is left behind.
