Refuge braces for an influx of puppies
You'd swear it was springtime at the moment with the amount of puppies that have been around the Refuge - and there's still more to come!
Puppy kindy starting soon
We all know how adorable puppies are, but often what we find cute characteristics when our dogs are still puppies are not so cute as they become older. Therefore, to help new puppy owners to teach their puppies good doggy manners, we are launching our Puppy Kindy course at the Refuge.
BHP Billiton backs their boys all the way
Last weekend, our two favourite BHP Billiton Iron Ore employees, James Pregnell and Gabriel Gnavi, took to the pavement for another 30/30 Challenge in the hope of raising $100,000 for the Refuge. And, despite this target being a huge ask - they did it!
BHP 30/30 Challenge...Double the value of your donation!
On Saturday 19th June, James Pregnell from BHP Billiton will once again be taking on the challenge of walking our dogs over 30 kms in the hope of raising funds for the Refuge. Last year, the support James received was amazing - which helped him battle through the appalling weather to finish his marathon.

75 years of caring for man’s best friend
Throughout 2010, The Dogs’ Refuge Home in Shenton Park - Australia’s oldest dogs’ home - will be commemorating 75 years of rescuing Perth’s stray and abandoned dogs, and to celebrate the community is being asked to take a trip down memory lane.
Axel, an exceptional boy!
What can we say about our boy Axel? Everyone at the Dogs’ Refuge Home knows him and we are, quite frankly, too used to seeing him around. Sometimes we get so accustomed to seeing a particular dog, especially if there have been no incidents calling that dog to our attention. We then forget to wonder why it’s taken so long to find them the home they deserve, and have been waiting for so patiently!
The Dangers of Heatstroke
Dehydration and exposure to extreme temperatures can be lethal. Since our four-legged friends can't sweat they are much less efficient than we are at cooling down. Add to that a permanent fur coat and you can see that even mild days can be uncomfortably warm for dogs. It is best to leave your pet at home while running errands in your car during the summer months. Dogs with short snouts such as Pugs, Bulldogs, Rottweilers, or Pekingese have a harder time staying cool.
Happy Christmas from the dogs
From all the staff, volunteers and especially our dogs we wish all of our supporters a wonderful Christmas and all the very best for 2010.
Open to the public 11am to 4pm, 7 days a week. Closed Public Holidays.
You can reach us by phone on 08 9381 8166 during opening hours.
