Fireworks and your dog
With Australia Day festivities happening today, we are urging all dog owners to prepare their dogs for fireworks.
Max to the rescue
Just thought we would let you know how Max is going. He is a very smart happy dog who has settled in well. He is even letting us take him for a walk rather than the other way round. He is really playful and still gets very excited – but we couldn’t expect anything else from a 12 moths old pup who is already bigger than most of our friends older adult dogs.
A new year's resolution for Bridget
Long-termer, Bridget, has made a new year's resolution for 2011 - to be on her best behaviour in the hope of finding a new, loving, forever home. She has been at the Refuge for over a year now and is keen to brighten the lives of a special family out there.
Tasha de Beagle from Claremont
I just wanted to send you a picture of Tasha (right hand side) feeling 'at home' with our other Beagle Daisy. You may remember my daughter being upset that you did not think that it would be good for us to take Tasha home as our Daisy was also a female... well here you have them, they love each other, they play a lot and sleep in the same bed...they certainly have a good life. Tasha is a very kind soul and very pacience with my daugher who loves playing and cuddle with her.
Flex learns to love his new family
We adopted Flex (now Rex) in June 2010. At first, though very affectionate toward me, he wouldn't go near my husband. We thought another dog may help, so we decided to adopt a dog, Nike, through another shelter.
Heavyweight boxer throws his weight behind the Dogs' Refuge Home
He may be a boxer, but not they type that the staff and volunteers at the Refuge are used to seeing around. But a love of man's best friend has seen Perth-born heavyweight boxer, Mark De Mori, welcomed as our new ambassador, particularly as we struggling with record numbers of dogs abandoned in the post-Christmas period.
Jack's a little gem
We got little Jack in early December and he has fitted in like a glove.Many thanks for your help in the selection process - we certainly struck GOLD.
Benji brings a smile to his new family's faces
We just wanted to send you guys a quick email to let you know that we are so happy with Benji who we adopted from you back at the beginning of November, and we think he is pretty happy too :)
Ruby has a very special Christmas
Just wanting to wish everyone at Shenton Park Dog Refuge a belated Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year and to let you know how Ribbon (now called Ruby) is getting on. We have had Ruby now for 3 months and she is a very much loved member of our family. The attached photos were taken on Christmas Day with her Christmas collar on and opening one of her presents.
Mercury welcomes new pack member, Max
Thank you very much for finding me such a lovely family. I have been with them for two months. They have learnt to take me for walks on and off the lead. I like going to the nearby parks to chase a ball and meet other dogs, although it can be a bit of a challenge to keep an eye on everyone while enjoying myself. Occasionally, I have to round them up and make sure they keep up.
