A vocal advocate for the NFP sector of animal welfare and rescue, Carey has taken Australian Working Dog Rescue from its foundation nearly 10 years ago to the forefront of the industry.

A love and talent for photography, performances and public speaking has been something enabling progression of Australian Working Dog Rescue from the promotion of the dogs to the maintenance of the online presence in social media and displays at numerous live events and shows, as well as authoring a best-selling book.

Carey's aim is to change the face and profile of rescue everywhere he can reach, from something that can be depressing and sad into an uplifting event for all those involved.

Carey is a “NO KILL” advocate and firm believer that the often used term of “pet overpopulation” is merely an excuse used by those not willing to work harder to save the lives of the animals. A life-long dog lover he has lived with many different breeds, from Toy Poodles to German Shepherds but has found a special spot in his heart for our purely Australian working breed dogs.
