Shelters & Rescues in Emerald

Looking to adopt, foster, or support local animal welfare in Emerald? Here you’ll find a list of shelters, rescue groups, and adoption centers dedicated to helping animals in your community.

CQ Pet Rescue (CQPR) is a volunteer-driven, non-profit charity dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of abandoned and vulnerable animals in the Central Highlands, Queensland. Based in Emerald, the organization was founded in 2008 and operates without a central shelter facility. Instead, it relies on a dedicated network of foster carers who provide temporary homes for dogs and cats, ensuring they are socialized and loved while awaiting their "forever" families.

The shelters and rescue groups in Emerald are working every day to care for animals in need—and they can't do it alone. Whether you choose to adopt, foster, volunteer, or donate, your support helps save lives and build a more compassionate community. Reach out to a local organization today and become part of the change.
