Meet Sully. This boy is a big softie.

He will melt your heart and be your BFF.

He loves walks, playing with his toys and lots of cuddles. He is good with basic commands and very good at dinner time. His recall needs work.

Sully thinks he is a lap dog and sometimes forgets his size and strength. He will be happy outside chasing bugs or be by your side inside.

He does like to be around humans a lot and especially loves aircon when it's hot. He would definitely suit a home that has another dog to keep him company or someone who works from home.

Sully is food focused and very easy to train. He loves sleeping, tummy rubs and is very social with other dogs and humans of every size. Sully is great company and only barks if someone comes into the yard. He's not afraid of thunder, lawn mowers, vacuums or other loud noises.

Everyone loves Sully and he is just the best boy. This is a super smart dog and a joy to be around. Guarantee the first to see will want to take him.

Sully is $350 + $100 desex bond* to adopt and comes microchipped, C5 vaccinated, and given flea/tick/worm prevention.

*Desex bond will be refunded once pup is desexed at one of our nominated vets at the appropriate age. It is a non-negotiable conditions of adoption that pups are desexed prior to 8 months of age, unless otherwise approved by NQAR. The cost of desexing is included in the adoption fee, as long as it is done at one of our nominated vets.

Meet this handsome 5-year-old black and white Border Collie!

He’s a sweet, well-trained boy who loves to play ball and stay active. He walks beautifully on a lead, and his quick learning ability means he’s always eager to impress.

While he’s generally good-natured and cat- and dog-friendly, he does appreciate his space, especially as he gets older. He can be a little grumpy if other pets invade his personal bubble, but most of the time, he’s perfectly content to relax and enjoy his own company.

He would do well in a home where he’s either the only dog or has other pets who respect his boundaries.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s both playful and independent, this sweet Border Collie is ready to join your family!

Quinn is $350 to adopt and comes desexed, microchipped, C5 vaccinated, and given flea/tick/worm prevention.

If you would like to meet Quinn please email [email protected]

Meet Beans.

With a huge smile and a wagging tail he is the first to greet you whenever he see humans.

Beans is 1000% dog friendly, even though he is quite big for his age he is still a puppy at heart and just wants to play wrestle, run and bound around the yard with other dogs.

Beans is cat friendly, however sometimes he gets a bit excited when engaging with them and they can get annoyed.

Beans loves kids, he is being fostered with a 3 year old child and even though he is a tall dog he doesn't push, jump or nudge at the child.

Beans loves to go on adventures, loves to have a good run and a swim in the creek.
He has decent recall when he is running with a settled dog that doesn't take off.

Now some not so positive traits about Beans. Beans has shown in the past to jump over fences. So a 6 foot fence is a requirement for him. Currently he is being fostered in a house with colourbond fence and that has kept him in without issues. He is happy to be in the yard with another dog/s.

Beans is terrified of thunder and will look for a way out if he is left in the open but will happily be in his crate on the patio and feel safe during a storm. Current foster carers have just been crating beans when leaving the house during storm season to ensure his safety. During the day when his carers are home, Beans is free to roam the yard as he pleases but the first sounds of Thunder Beans will present to his crate and lay in there. The crate is closed for his containment and comfort. After the thunder is gone Beans returns to his happy playful self.

Beans is crate trained and absolutely loves his crate. He is quite often found just laying in it through out the day when he wants to rest.
Beans is learning to walk on a lead confidently and without pulling but will require further training.

Beans is $350 to adopt and comes desexed, microchipped, C5 vaccinated and given flea, tick and worm preventatives.

We have a touching story to share with you this Sunday 💗

Maddie was a former NQAR pup who sadly left us in July due to a battle with cancer 😔 Brent, Maddie's owner, made a generous donation this Christmas and left us this wonderful message:

"Hi NQAR, Today would've marked Maddie's 10 Gotcha Day from you guys but cancer had other ideas and she had to leave us in July.

This is a small thank you for us for what you do, and continue to do. Because if you didn't, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to have 10 years of good times together.

Thanks again, Maddie and Brent"

Meet Millie, the golden eyed girl. Millie is a sweet natured, gentle, calm girl who absolutely adores humans.

She hasn't been tested with children while in care, but her placid demeanor suggests she will fit in well with a family.

Millie is a timid and very chill girl, happy to laze about inside with her humans, soak up the sun in the backyard, and occasionally be adventurous with a walk or swim.

Millie is a polite girl, doesn't beg for attention but sure laps it up when the humans give her affection. Millie is doing well with her crate training and does not bark much at all.

Millie is $350 to adopt and comes desexed, microchipped, C5 vaccinated, and given flea/tick/worm prevention.

If you would like to meet Millie please email [email protected]

Our Story

North Queensland Animal Rescue Inc. became an official incorporated entity on the 04/07/2012 Sparked by a group of dedicated animal lovers who were passionate about the problem of pet over population in their local area. They didn’t have a physical property to home animals, YAPS was over capacity and under resourced, they thought outside the box to come up with the idea of a foster carer based rescue service, after all they had been rescuing and taking in unwanted pets themselves for some time. Incorporating made it official and allowed them to begin working with local councils and pounds. With the assistance of the caring vets at Airport Vet offering a generous discount they were able to take in more pets and confidently offer foster carers pets that would have all their vetwork completed before being rehomed. Then came the sanction to fundraise, and the rest is history.

Since then, NQAR has become a DGR registered charity, meaning all cash donations received are tax deductible; Partnered with 4 paws on the inside, a program offerring the inmates at Lotus Glen Correctional Facility a chance to learn basic dog obedience skills; Rescued and re-homed over 1000 animals; Held training workshops and been a part of countless community events.

The group is still run by a small group of dedicated volunteer co-ordinators who manage all the administration from their own homes, whilst the wonderful foster carers take in the animals and love them as if they were their own.
