Welcome to
Cairns Animal Rescue Inc
Cairns Animal Rescue was established in 2019. Since our inception, our group of passionate volunteers have managed to assist over 300 dogs, through rehoming and medical care.
We are here to assist dogs in need across North Queensland, from the Torres Straits in the North, to as far south as Charters Towers.
We are a dedicated group of volunteers who provide the highest level of care in a foster home environment, allowing us to assess each animal and ensure they meet their perfect forever family.
Our foster dogs join our own dogs, cats and children and become immersed in our family – helping them become a great family member for you!
Adopting a rescue dog is a very rewarding experience. Not only are you gaining a new family member, but you’re rescuing an animal from less-than-ideal circumstances.
We like to think they appreciate their new family more when they’re a rescue.
Interested in Adopting? Here’s how it works.
Animal Enters Care
When an animal comes into our care, they often need some extra TLC and medications. We provide a nurturing environment to rebuild their health and strength, while assessing their interactions with people and other pets.
Vet Visit
All animals visit our vet for a health check, microchip and their vaccinations. All dogs are wormed and treated with flea and tick medications. Adoption fees include desexing of your pet, vaccinations and an ID microchip.
Register Interest
We’ll start to advertise the animals on our Facebook page and begin taking your enquiries. These rescue dogs need a loving family and a suitable home environment. You can register your interest online by completing the form.
Adopting your pet
Once we have accepted your expression of interest, you may complete the adoption form online. Congratulations on the addition to your family! Adopting a pet is a big commitment, we have provided some useful information for you.
Follow Us
We always get very attached to our foster-babies, and love nothing more than to receive updates of their new life.
