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!
Meet Sam, one of the Dogs' Refuge Home's long-term residents. Sam has lived at the Refuge for three years now and we think he deserves a home to call his own. He is a seven and a half year old Rottweiler cross (possibly Kelpie cross), very trainable using positive methods and very good on the lead. Sam likes his routines and will be a good companion in a stable household with adults, possibly living with full time workers if he feels secure.
When Sam is comfortable with someone he is very friendly and affectionate. It is important to meet Sam out of his kennel as he panics when people view him from it's exterior, making him seem very unfriendly! Sam would love to settle down in a home where he can feel assured his owners will work with any issues. Our trainers are on hand for advice and support, and with patience and an awareness of Sam's needs, adopters will find having Sam in their lives very rewarding.
If you think you might have the right kind of home for Sam, please call us on 08 9381 8166 or come in and speak to our staff, between 11am and 4pm every day.
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.
