RSPCA WA

RSPCA WA We are WA’s leading animal welfare charity organisation, preventing cruelty and promoting kindness.

When animals are let down by their owners, left helpless, traumatised and alone, they rely on RSPCA WA to step in and give them a second chance at life, love and happiness. Since 1892, RSPCA WA has worked tirelessly to prevent animal cruelty. We have rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed animals of many kinds and given them a second chance. We have educated the community and lobbied the Government to

promote animal welfare and prevent cruelty. Our Mission:
Lead the improvement of animal welfare in WA through prevention and intervention programs, advocacy, and education. We do this through:
🐾 Promoting and enforcing animal welfare legislation and driving legislative change
🐾 Educating and influencing the community
🐾 Achieving organisational excellence and delivering best practice animal care. At RSPCA WA we are dedicated to improving the treatment of animals because we believe it strengthens our society, enhances our lives and contributes to a better world. We have made great strides towards our vision, but there is still a long way to go. RSPCA WA would simply not exist without individuals and organisations who share our vision. We rely on the generosity of animal lovers to contribute around $9 million each year, the majority of what it costs to carry out our animal protection work. In order to overcome the challenges of increasing demand, rising costs and a vast geographical service area, it is critical that RSPCA WA continue to grow its supporter base. Through personal donations and gifts, and corporate fundraising initiatives, as well as a calendar of events, we will work to connect with people who want to protect and save Western Australia’s most vulnerable animals.

These piglets have already got homes lined up for them, but we just HAD to share these pics with you! They're so cute! 😍🥰

A handful of baby piglets recently came to our Malaga shelter after their original owner could no longer provide care for them.

Named after plants, Blossom, Wisteria, Violet, Wattle, Banksia, and Eucalyptus will soon be in a wonderful home of their own. We're so happy for them! 🥰🐷

Imagine being left in a small, home made enclosure that was never cleaned. You had to go to the toilet in the same place you ate and slept, and the mess was getting worse and worse every day.

That was the reality for poor Maggie.

Her owner used her as a working dog, and when she was of no use to him, he placed her in a confined area filled with faeces, animal bones and contaminated water.

When we offered for him to surrender Maggie to RSPCA WA, where she could get the love, care and vet treatment she needed, her previous owner declined, saying he would destroy her after keeping her for a few more months for work purposes.

Maggie was seized and our Inspector gave her the name Maggie as her previous owner refused to tell us her real name.

Maggie has since been recovering in foster care with RSPCA WA, and this week we secured a victory for her by prosecuting her owner.

Maggie no longer lives in a cage. As you can see in the photos below, she is living her best life.

The photos below break our hearts.

Arlo and Memphis didn’t have to suffer in the way they did. But today we can say we secured a small victory for them as their previous owner was prosecuted for animal cruelty.

Arlo arrived in our care after a vet made a cruelty report with concerns when they had to humanely euthanise 4-year-old Rottweiler, Memphis, when he was brought in for a consultation.

The vet described Memphis as unable to move, with all bones visible, and it was no exaggeration. He had been starved.

When our inspectors went out to the owner’s property, that’s when they saw Arlo, who was in a very similar condition.

The owner agreed to surrender poor Arlo, where he was brought back to RSPCA WA and treated. Arlo spent a few months in care gaining weight and soon after found a home where he would be a loving part of the family.

Both dogs suffered a fate that was entirely unnecessary and absolutely heartbreaking. We know times are tough at the moment, but we ask that you please ask for help if you need it.

Rest peacefully, Memphis.

We rely on the community to report incidents of suspected cruelty and neglect. Report cruelty 24/7 on 1300 CRUELTY (1300 278 358) or online (🔗 in comments!)

Last week we posted about sweet boy Axel, who was a few short days away from celebrating his first birthday in a kennel. 💔

Well, today is his birthday, and he got his birthday wish! Axel was adopted on the weekend, and we haven’t stopped smiling since! 🥹

Just look at the difference in his face! He knew he was finally going home. There is no better feeling than seeing a long-term shelter dog find their place in this world. 🥰

Happy birthday Axel! We’re so happy your wishes came true! 🎂🩵

Will some-bunny choose Kerry? She's been in our care for a collective 121 days - please, give her a chance!

Kerry has not had the best go at life thus far. Originally coming into our care under the name Dippity Bix in late 2023, she spent several months in our care undergoing vet treatment. Once she was finally made available for adoption in 2024, it took her three months before someone chose her, adopted her, and gave her a new name.

Kerry has sadly returned back to our care. And, the days have already turned to weeks, with Kerry spending over a month waiting for a home. It breaks our heart to see her in her hutch, waiting for a passerby to take interest in her. 💔

We just don't get why she keeps getting overlooked. She has beautifully soft white fur flecked with grey dapples, deep black eyes with a reddish tinge, and big pink ears, always standing at attention. We're sure somebody will fall in love with her just as much as we have.

Will you give her the permanent loving home she has been dreaming years for? 😔

Please come in and meet her today - our gates open at 9am. You can learn more about her by heading to the 🔗 in the comments.

This , we're looking for a big-dog lover - meet Ned the Rottweiler! 🥰🐶

Ned came into our care after his original owner moved interstate and the new home didn't allow dogs. With no family able to take him on, he was surrendered to us. 💔

This 3-year-old Rottweiler is looking for a foster home while he recovers from his recent entropion (eyelid) surgery.

This extremely friendly and beautiful boy can:
🐾 Live with another dog, pending a meet (he's very dog-social!)
🐾 Live with full-time workers
🐾 Live with children pending a meet

He also LOVES squeaky toys and playing fetch! 🐕

If you can provide medium to long-term foster care for this boy (6-8 weeks or more) we would love to hear from you. Knowledge about Rottweilers is desirable, but not necessary!

When fostering, we will give you everything you need including bedding, pet food, bowls, toys, vet care and medications. The only thing you will need to provide is plenty of love and a warm home! 🥰

If you're interested in fostering Ned, please put through a foster application today by heading to the 🔗 in the comments. Simply choose the "I'll foster anyone who needs it" option when prompted and when our foster team reaches out, tell them that you saw Ned on our socials! ❤️

We can't get over how heartwarming this adoption update is! 🥹

You may remember Mufasa, a dog who came into our care late 2023 with a mysterious neck injury. He spent several months undergoing vet care, then when he was all healed up he spent even longer waiting patiently for a home to call his own.

His soulmate finally met him and adopted him, and we've just received an update a year on from his adoption. If the weather today has brought on some blues, or you're just having a rough one, this will surely bring a smile to your face. 🥰❤️

"We have had Mufasa for a year now and he has settled into our home perfectly.

"His day starts around 5:30am with a loud yawn to wake up the whole house. If we have the energy, we will get up with him for a play or a walk; if we don't have the energy, we will bring him into the bed for a morning cuddle and delay the walk and play time for a couple hours. The rest of the day he lounges around the back yard happily playing with his toys, chewing a bone, napping in the sun or lounging on top of the outdoor table.

"On the weekend there are trips to the beach and sometimes the local cafe.

"He has such a fun personality and constantly makes us laugh, with his funny noises, constant reminder that playtime is overdue (every few hours), and loves to fully relax spread eagle on his back."

"He loves his forever home, and we love having him. ❤️"

Thank you for adopting him, Sally, and for giving him a home every shelter dog dreams of - one of unconditional love. 🥰🐾

Axel (with the help of a kind human) wrote a letter to you with his biggest birthday wish... a new home before his birthday in 5 days. ❤️

Please give it a read. If you want to learn more about him, you can head to the 🔗 in the comments to read his adoption profile.

Below is the letter for any vision-impaired people:
"Dear reader,
My name is Axel and I have been at the RSPCA WA shelter for 146 days.
I turn ONE in five days, meaning I have practically grown up in care.
While the staff and volunteers here have made sure I’m well looked after, all I truly want is a home to call my own.
Can you make my birthday wish for my very own home come true?"

We can't get over how cute Cloud is!

'❤️' if you agree and swipe to the end to see a picture of her when she first came in, barely a few weeks old! 🥰🥹

Cloud is currently under vet care but, once she's fully recovered, will be put up for adoption! She's a three-month-old American Bulldog puppy who just loves cuddling and playing with people and toys, and boy does she love her treatos 😋

She has a meet lined up for when she's available. Watch this space - we'll announce in the comments in the coming days if the meet is unsuccessful.

When you move and breathe a little too hard at 6am and now your dog thinks it's time to get up and play

08/03/2025

Today, on International Women's Day, we're taking a moment to thank the women who work and volunteer at RSPCA WA. As an organisation that is made up predominately of women (our entire vet team, almost all of our inspectors, almost all shelter staff, and more than three-quarters of our administration staff are women!) we are proud of the work they do for all the neglected and abused animals in WA.

We're very fortunate to have such a strong group of intelligent, talented, and dedicated women. To each and every one of you, thank you for all that you do!

Mario and Peach are trapped (residing comfortably) in Bowser's castle (in the air-conditioned cat condos at RSPCA WA) and need your help! 🍄👑 Will you take one home?

Mario is an ex-RSPCA cat who just hasn't had the best of luck. Originally coming into our care back in 2016, he sadly has come in and out of our care over the years through circumstances completely out of his control. At 11 years old, all he wants is a home to peacefully retire in - his days of climbing down pipes and rescuing princesses are far behind him!

Peach is two years old and is our longest-staying cat resident at the moment. She's been waiting patiently for a home for nearly 200 days now. She longs to spend her days out of the shelter and in a new home, basking in the sunlight.

These two aren't bonded - it was just a coincidence they came into our care with such matching-themed names - and are to be adopted separately.

If you think you could give Mario or Peach a loving home, please come to our shelter tomorrow! Our gates open at 9am.

You can learn more by heading to their adoption profiles in the comments. 👇

Help us find Axel a home before his 1st birthday! ❤️

Axel is one of our long termers who sadly hasn't had much interest since he was put up for adoption in November last year. He's a French Mastiff (Dogue De Bordeaux) x Boxer x Bull Arab and despite his age, is already a whopping 30kg!

His 1st birthday is just under two weeks away (17 March) and while we would love to celebrate the day with him, the best present he could receive is a loving home to call his own. Will that be with you? 🤩

Axel can live with:
🐾 Older kids (he can be boisterous and unaware of his size, and the last thing we'd want is to send a toddler flying!)
🐾 Another dog, pending a meet
🐾 Full time workers (if given a good walk beforehand and plenty of snuggles when you return!)

He does have some minor health issues; however our knowledgeable adoptions team will go through these with you. Given this, to help boost his chances we've discounted his adoption fee! ❤️

Come on everyone, let's pull together and find him a home! Tell your friends and family and inform your local groups. His forever person is out there! 🥰❤️🐶

Working at RSPCA WA can be both challenging and rewarding. We see so many cases of cruelty and neglect, some resulting in heartbreaking outcomes. Others end in heartwarming displays of love and affection as an animal finds their forever home.

When Shadow arrived in our care, so severely malnourished and emaciated, we were holding our breath hoping his would be one of the happy endings. Shadow’s cruelty report read that all bones were visible, he was weak, had no food or water, and likely would not live through the next few days, and it was no exaggeration.

Thankfully, after many months of love, vet checks and foster care, Shadow went from skin and bone to a happy, healthy pup. He went from neglected and uncared for, to a part of a family.

Shadow’s 'before' pictures are confronting. But it is a sad reality that we see far too often. We are so thankful that Shadow’s case was reported, and we are able to show you the happy ending we all hoped for, for sweet Shadow!

The RSPCA relies on the community to report incidents of suspected cruelty and neglect. Report cruelty 24/7 on 1300 CRUELTY (1300 278 358) or online. 🔗 in the comments below.

UPDATE - BIMBA IS ON A TRIAL ADOPTION! 🤩🥰

Bimba was wondering... will you take her home? She'll give you a toy if you say yes! 🥺🙏

In exchange for her favourite toy, she wants a warm bed, lots of cuddles, and unconditional love - something she hasn't felt in a long time. 😔

She originally came into our care as a puppy and, due to circumstances out of her control, had to come back into our care. She's confused and a little sad, but still wants love and if you meet her, she'll try and give you one of the many toys in her kennel so you can play with her. ❤️‍🩹

She can live with full time workers, older kids (she's boisterous and may knock down the unsuspecting toddler!), and can have doggo friends in the future (but recommended to be the only dog in the home).

Meet her and the other 39 animals available for adoption today! Our gates open at 9am - address is 108 Malaga Drive, Malaga, WA. 💕

Immediate jail term for dog left to suffer 👨‍⚖️

We're glad to give you some justice, Betty. What you had to suffer through was inexcusable! 😔

A vet examination found Betty had a severe, chronic and painful skin disease that was covering most of her body; had a very large, open, and deep necrotic tumour which was actively bleeding; multiple tumours on other parts of her body; and was anaemic from chronic blood loss due to her tumour and a flea infestation.

Three offenders were sentenced yesterday. Read the full media release via the 🔗 in comments. Note, the images are very distressing.

In sentencing, Magistrate Mark Millington said, “the photos are distressing … photos speak a thousand words for what the dog went through.” He said the dog “suffered significant harm and significant pain and distress … you failed to provide that dog with treatment.”

RSPCA WA Inspector Manager Kylie Green said for three adults to all disregard Betty’s condition was disgraceful.

“Imagine being left to bleed out by the person responsible for your care. Betty faced unnecessary harm which could have been addressed if she was taken to a vet in the first instance.”

We rely on the community to report incidents of suspected cruelty and neglect. Report cruelty 24/7 on 1300 CRUELTY (1300 278 358) or online.

Fly free, Mr. Swan! ❤️🦢

Found in Reinscourt, near Busselton, this swan had some injuries to his wing and beak after crashing into some wires. 💔

He needed urgent help - without someone there to assist, things looked grim.

He was collected by our friends at F.A.W.N.A Inc., whom our inspectors had paid a visit to earlier in the month to deliver six bags of pellets for some stranded flightless cygnets.

The injured swan spent some time in Kooljack Castle, F.A.W.N.A Inc's volunteer-run rehabilitation centre, to get his wing and beak all fixed up. He had a waddle of a time with the other cygnets there! (Did you know they have 397 swans in care? 🤯)

Yesterday, he was given the all-clear and released in the South West, Inspector Jack having the pleasure of opening the carrier and sending him back to the wild. It was a truly beautiful thing to witness and such a rewarding thing to be a part of. (You can watch the release in the comments!)

Thank you, F.A.W.N.A Inc, for your ongoing work in helping our native animals and our South West inspectors who have worked hard to assist the F.A.W.N.A Inc volunteers, and of course the swans. ❤️🦢

Our post yesterday about our long-term residents did so well, we thought we'd do a part 2, as sadly, many pets have been in our care for far longer than usual.
