Tweet Perth teams up with Dogs’ Refuge Home for #DogsofPerth

I am happy to announce that today is the start of the #dogsofperth initiative, where I will visit the Dog’s Refuge Home in Shenton Park every fortnight. With each visit I will endeavour to shine a light on a few of the special characters that are looking for their forever homes.

Two of the fury faces I met today were Lola and Zahi. Both are very friendly, playful girls with a beautiful nature and would make a great addition to someones family.

See Lola and Zahi’s profiles below, along with additional photo and video evidence of our play time.

Lola (Update: Lola has been adopted)

Lola is a 3.5 year old female Staffy.  A very social dog, she is a sweet girl, super affectionate and loves people. Would suit full-time workers but needs a minimum of an hours exercise per day and will need lots of attention when her family are home to help her settle in. Lola will make a super family companion. Adopt Lola

Zahi (Update: Zahi has been adopted)

Zahi is an 8 month old Corgi cross. She is a pocket rocket with plenty of personality but must be the only dog. Would suit part time workers at first, who are committed to her training and exercise. Zahi is very affectionate and loves sitting on your lap or beside you on the sofa. Even though she is a smaller dog she is very active and will need a minimum of an hours exercise per day. Adopt Zahi

About Shenton Park Dog Refuge Home

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. Take advantage of our dog and puppy training classes; use our boarding services; consider giving a donation or buy some merchandise at our online store. We can’t thank you enough for caring!

How to Adopt?

Before offering our dogs for adoption we undertake thorough veterinary and behavioural assessments. All new arrivals are vaccinated, microchipped, de-wormed and sterilised as part of the placement process and every individual animal in our care aged over 16 weeks receives basic obedience training. Any dogs who arrive with behavioural problems also receive remedial training before being re-homed.

We charge a basic fee of $425 for adult dogs we place with new families ($530 for puppies under 6 months old). This cost goes towards covering some of the veterinary, training and food expenses incurred in rescuing and re-homing the individual pet. Invariably our costs exceed this amount considerably, however, we believe every one of our dogs is worth every cent we invest in them. Our long-termers are available for a special fee of $320, which includes four one-on-one training sessions with one of our trainers Read More
