Whatever size or shape of dog you're looking for, or whatever character you're after, come and meet the very special residents at The Dogs' Refuge Home in Shenton Park.
We are a totally self-funded organisation and rely entirely on donations to continue our work. Please consider helping us to save more of Perth's unwanted and abandoned dogs.
At the Dogs’ Refuge Home in Shenton Park we love dogs and are committed to saving them. In fact we save hundreds of unwanted, neglected, abandoned and abused dogs every year.
With around 100 beautiful four legged friends in our care at any one time, chances are your next addition to the family is waiting patiently for you. And with so many abandoned dogs desperate for a second chance at a happy life, consider visiting us before you go to a pet shop or breeder.
If you love dogs then please help us. Use our boarding services; consider giving a donation to further our rescue work or find out more about becoming a volunteer. We can't thank you enough for caring!

Tony is the most affectionate dog at the Refuge who loves nothing more than a cuddle and a pat with people. He's quite a laid back boy who will happily spend his time with his family. He's a 2 year old Kelpie cross and is one of the long term residents at the Refuge and is hoping that he's adorable puppy dog eyes can melt someone's heart - like they've done with many of the staff and volunteers at the Refuge!
Tony is also a real game player - he loves playing with toys, particularly chasing tennis balls and would be a great addition to an energetic family. He's a real people's dog and so would be best as an only dog, but would fit in perfectly with a family with teenage children. He responds best to positive reinforcement training and ongoing training will help to further develop his doggy manners.
The Refuge environment is a little stressful for Tony, so the sooner he finds his forever family the better where he could establish a routine and relax a little more. He is a very special dog who is certain to melt your heart with that face. He will make a very loving and loyal companion for the right family.
If you think you may be able to give Tony a loving home for life, please contact the staff at the Refuge on 9381 8166 or visit the Refuge between 11am to 4pm daily.
We're always looking for dog lovers who are able to volunteer their time to walk our dogs or help with their care. It would be great if you could spare some time.
Many of our dogs do not cope well in a kennel environment because of stress or even depression. We always need foster carers to take in these special dogs.
Take some time to read some of our latest success stories and you'll realize why giving a previously unwanted dog a happy home is so incredibly rewarding.
