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.

This Christmas looks much brighter for Nutloaf, now right where she belongs with her family. 🥲🎄

You might remember her from our recent post. She came in at Christmas last year, when she was one of over 100 dogs rescued from a puppy farm on Christmas Eve. Back then, she was terrified—gentle hands made her tremble, and fear shaped every moment of her day. 💔

Since being adopted earlier this year, Nutloaf has blossomed with time, patience, and the guidance of her Border Collie sister, Olive. 🐾

We’re THRILLED to share a heartwarming update from her new family.

“Nutloaf is the life of the party at the local dog park, one of her favourite places. She loves the beach, is very cheeky, and makes sure everyone is awake each morning with her howls so she doesn’t miss her snack. She loves all other dogs, all humans, and pretty much any food she can find.

Our favourite moment is seeing her big smile every day and knowing she is now safe and loving life. Watching her play with Olive, and seeing Olive guide her through new experiences, are moments we’ll always treasure.” ✨

This Christmas, Nutloaf has her very own stocking for Santa Paws to fill with treats and toys. She’s living a life that a year ago seemed almost impossible. 🎄

It’s all thanks to the generous support of people like you that Nutloaf got her second chance. Sadly, many animals are still waiting for their forever home. You can help be their Christmas miracle. Become a Guardian Angel today and click the 🔗 in the comments to donate. ❤️🎁

💔 Our shelter is at capacity this Christmas 💔

It’s always heartbreaking when our shelter is full, but even more so at Christmas, when every animal deserves to wake up to gentle pats, familiar faces and a day filled with love.

Our biggest wish this holiday season is to see as many animals as possible head home for the holidays. To help make that happen, we’re offering reduced adoption fees for the next two weeks.

We want to be clear: we don’t encourage pets as Christmas presents. But if welcoming an animal into your family is something you’ve been thoughtfully considering, this could be the perfect time. Pets are a lifelong commitment and deserve careful consideration before taking that step.

Reduced adoption fees:
🐶 Dogs – $100
🐱 Cats – $50
🐾 Puppies – $200
🐾 Kittens – $100
🐹 Pocket pets – $20
🐴 Horses – $100
🐦 Birds – Fee free

If your family has been hoping to add a furry or feathered friend, please consider visiting the beautiful animals patiently waiting at our Malaga Care Centre. Their Christmas miracle could start with you. 🩵

Today on International Volunteer Day we wanted to say an extra special thank you to the volunteers who dedicate hours and hours each year keeping the shelter running.

When people think about volunteering at RSPCA WA, they may think about playing with puppies and kittens and giving lots of cuddles and treats, but the reality is that it's hard work. It's cleaning kennels and cat condos, it's picking up poo, it's doing piles and piles of laundry, it's standing at events and helping do paperwork. Of course, there are lots of animal snuggles too, but it's a big job, and we're so lucky to have some of the most dedicated people helping us every single day.

On behalf of the animals and the people at RSPCA WA, thank you. We truly couldn't do it without you. 🩵

Heartbreakingly, Christmas is one of the busiest times of year at RSPCA WA.

More animals are arriving at the shelter every day. Homeless, in what should be a time for fun and family. 💔

It’s only with your support that we can ensure the animals in our care have access to the comforts every animal should, plus something extra special for Christmas Day.

Will you be a guardian Angel and give an extra special gift to the animals in our care? Donate today. ❤️

Meet Nutloaf, one of the 100+ dogs seized from a property last Christmas. Her tale is one you won't want to miss. 👇

Nutloaf’s life used to be nothing but fear. She was rescued just before Christmas — one of more than 100 dogs found crammed into filthy cages at a backyard puppy farm. She’d never felt a soft bed, never known a gentle hand, never even been allowed to live like a real dog. All that she knew was concrete floors, hot sand, and the ever-present scent of faeces.

When she arrived at RSPCA WA, she froze in the corner of her kennel, trembling and too scared to move. Kindness, cleanliness, and material comforts were completely foreign to her. But slowly, patiently, with kindness and care, Nutloaf began to trust again. She learned that people could be gentle. She learned what play felt like. She learned love.

Now nearly a year on from her rescue, Nutloaf is spending life loved and cherished with a family of her own. She’s safe, happy. All of this made possible thanks to people who gave a donation.

This festive season, there are so many animals like Nutloaf who are waiting for their second chance. If you can, please donate and be a Guardian Angel for an animal just like Nutloaf. Your kindness can truly change a life. ❤️

Today, a dog owner was found guilty of attempting to insert drugs in her pet's a**s.

For nearly 2 years, Busta the Dachshund had been waiting for an outcome. Today, in his new home with a new owner, he finally received some justice.

A 44-year-old Girrawheen woman has been fined $1,750 and ordered to pay $20,238 in costs for trying to insert a bag of methylamphetamine into her miniature Dachshund’s a**s.

In February 2024, WA Police stopped the offender’s vehicle after officers observed it being driven rapidly out of a shopping centre carpark.

Joondalup Magistrates Court heard the offender was seen trying to insert the small package into the dog’s a**s after being told she and her car would be searched under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1981.

The package, containing approximately 2 grams of methylamphetamine, was recovered.

WA police subsequently made a cruelty report to us and Busta was seized by inspectors.

The last few days for Sage have been incredible. First, she was adopted, and second, she received justice for the abuse she went through earlier this year. Warning, strong language and graphic description below. 👇

A 24-year-old Yangebup man was fined $5,000 and prohibited from owning an animal for three years for maliciously beating his partner’s 5-month-old puppy. He was also ordered to pay a total of $2,477.77 in costs and reimbursements.

Fremantle Magistrates Court heard RSPCA WA received a recording in May this year, in which a puppy can be heard being beaten.

In the recording, the offender can be heard shouting and swearing at Sage for chewing something.

He yelled at Sage, “f*ck off, f*ck" and “you f*cking bitch, you are”, “I’m going to f*cking…” following which Sage can be heard repetitively and loudly yelping and crying. The offender further yelled, “I don’t give a f*ck, c*nt. Stop chewing s**t up, you c*nt” and can be heard hitting Sage twice which made her yelp loudly.

More abusive shouting followed with Sage repetitively and loudly yelping and crying; a further five loud smacking noises can be heard and, on each blow, Sage repetitively and loudly yelping and crying out.

Sage has fully recovered and is in a loving new home where she's cared for and adored.

Cruelty to an animal can never be excused. It doesn’t matter how frustrated you are, to treat an animal the way Sage was treated is an offence and will be dealt with accordingly. There is zero community tolerance for this kind of behaviour, and the law reflects that which has been shown by Monday's outcome.

BOE GOT ADOPTED! 🥳🙌

Perth, you've done it again. You heard our call and answered with bells - we're so happy Boe got the attention he deserved and finally found a home where he will be loved and cherised. 💞

As you can see, he is over the MOON after meeting his new family. We can't wait to hear updates as he settles in and lands on all four paws in his new home.

Congratulations, Boe. We're all going to miss you so much! 💙🐶💚

EDIT: Boe's new adopters have made a FB page for Boe! If you want to keep up to date with Boe, check out their page here: https://www.facebook.com/boetherescue

Part 2 of 2 – FEE-FREE DOG! Meet Poppy and help us find her a home 💙👇

Wow — the support for Boe’s post yesterday was incredible! We’re so grateful to everyone who liked, shared, and commented. Boe is currently on hold with a potential adopter, and we’ll share an update tomorrow once we know more. 🤞

We did want to clear up one common question — Boe and Poppy aren’t bonded or related. They’re simply two lovely dogs who’ve both had long stays with us, and whose adoption fees are currently waived to help them find homes faster.

Now, let’s keep that momentum going and shine the spotlight on Poppy!

Poppy has been in our care since July, which means nearly six months without a home to call her own. She’s a big-hearted girl who can live with full-time workers and older kids (she can be a bit of a boofhead at times!). We think she’ll thrive best as the only dog in the household.

Her adoption is FEE-FREE, but don’t worry — all our usual adoption checks still apply to ensure the best match.

You can learn more about Poppy, her compatibility, and more via the 🔗 in the comments. 👇

If you think you could give Poppy the loving home she’s been waiting for, come meet her today! 💙

Before adoption, you'll need to have a quick chat with our behavioural team — our friendly adoptions staff will guide you through the process.

UPDATE: Boe has been adopted! 💞

📢 FEE-FREE DOG — Boe’s story is one you won’t want to scroll past. 👇🐶

Friends, we need your help. We have two dogs available with no adoption fee. Instead of promoting them together, we’re sharing their stories separately to give each the best chance — starting today with Boe.

Boe’s been with us since April, and despite his patience, he’s had little interest — so we’ve waived his adoption fee to help him finally find his home. (All usual adoption checks still apply!)

You may remember Boe from an earlier post — he was rescued from a regional area covered in ticks and fleas, leaving him underweight, severely anaemic, and battling Ehrlichia canis, a serious tick-borne disease.

After months of veterinary and behavioural care, Boe made a full recovery — but his story’s still missing its happy ending. That’s where you come in.

Will you be the one to give Boe his chance? Please look past his kennel manners and big, boofy looks — underneath is a loving dog who just wants to play with his toys and nap by your side.

Learn more about Boe’s personality and compatibility via the 🔗 in the comments. If you can’t adopt, please share his story to help him find the home he deserves.

Thank you for reading his story. Keep an eye for Part 2 tomorrow, featuring our other fee-free dog. 🐶💞
