Meet Lukey - Sweet & Timid Pup Looking for a Forever Home!

Lukey is a 6-month-old puppy with a heart full of love and a gentle, sweet nature. Though a bit timid at first, he quickly warms up to new people once he gets to know you. Once Lukey feels comfortable, he will want nothing more than to be by your side, soaking up all the affection he can get.

Lukey is also a social butterfly when it comes to other dogs—he loves playing and engaging with his furry friends. His playful spirit and gentle demeanor make him an excellent companion for another dog in the household.

Since arriving back in care, Lukey has made great progress in responding to calm correction and clear direction. He thrives with consistency and patience, and he's eager to learn and grow into a well-behaved, loving companion.

If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate puppy who will adore you once he feels safe, Lukey could be the perfect match! He’s ready to settle into a calm and loving home where he can continue to blossom. Will you be the one to help him become the confident, loyal companion he’s destined to be?

Thanks to SavourLife and Petbarn with their Adopt-A-Dog program, we were able to spring these 4 gorgeous dogs from the pound. SavourLife donates %50 of their profits to help rescue groups like us get dogs out of pounds and into homes. We are very lucky to be supported by them, and during this February, there is even more support.

You can support Savourlife and rescue dogs by buying their dog food and treats, they make amazing products available in pet stores and online.

Soon we will have these dogs in care and their profiles will go up. Watch our page and treat your pets to some savourlife.

We need a loving foster carer for 3 yo Digger, while he is searching for his family. Digger needs to be in a home with no other pets, as he prefers all the attention.

Digger travels well in the car, he's food motivated and goes to bed without fuss. He's the kind of dog who needs to find his own human to really open up. He needs boundaries but not too much or you'll offend or upset him. He's a sensitive soul.

If you have a lonely couch, a preference for large, sensitive, black, fairly lazy but attention loving guy.

Please get in touch if you can help foster Digger [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.
