DoggieRescue.com, also known as Monika's Rescues, is a charitable organisation founded by Monika Biernacki in Sydney, Australia that saves abandoned dogs about to be euthanized in animal shelters, provides medical attention and seeks to re-home them with new families. The organisation has a "no kill" policy, which means that rescued dogs spend the rest of their life with an adoptive family or in the safety of the shelter.

History

Monika Biernacki (born 2 January 1956) was interested in helping sick and homeless dogs from an early age. She had considered training as a veterinarian but she "couldn't handle putting animals down, or vivisection". She instead qualified and practiced as a geologist. After a local vet said he had to euthanize two healthy but unwanted dogs, she agreed to take the dogs and find them new homes. As her re-homing operation grew, Biernacki enlisted the support of volunteers and moved to larger premises, previously at Duffys Forest and Homebush, before settling at Ingleside. The organisation was registered as a charity in 1991.[2]
