Every year we take in many hundreds of dogs: those that have been badly abused and neglected; those that have been loved but can no longer be cared for; and those that are simply unwanted. The Dogs’ Refuge Home was opened in October 1935. It is one of the oldest animal welfare organisation’s in Australia. More than 90 years on, the Home is still saving more than 1500 dogs in need every year. It has become an integral part of the Western Australian community. Our fundamental belief is that dogs are entitled to the same love and respect that they unconditionally give us.
