After volunteering as North Qld Coordinator for another animal rescue, I saw the need for a foster based rescue that wasn't breed specific. Myself and some others decided to start North Qld Animal Rescue to save more animals who were being euthanised through no fault of their own. In it's 10 years the group has rescued thousands of animals, and will continue to do so under the new leadership.
