Welcome 6 month old baby Border Collie: Bonnie to our rescue! Bonnie is a sweet, funny, playful girl who hasnt seen much of the world and is a typical happy go lucky pup. She has gone to a beautiful foster mother who is going to start training and socialising her so she becomes a well rounded pup for her new family. Thankyou to Kylie from who assisted in rehoming Bonnie to our rescue.

Plumette’s on Rule and Etiquette Patrol! So how do our Meet & Greets work?

If you are called by our lovely coordinator to come and meet one of our rescues, it does not automatically mean you have been guaranteed an adoption. A Meet and Greet, is a 15-30 minute time period in which you are able to learn about the dog, their behaviour, vet records, history and even have a play!

We do not do ‘trials’ of dogs, as we always describe our rescue animals accurately and you have full access to their vet reports and behavioural history whilst in our care.

Once you have had a Meet & Greet with one of our dogs, we then ask you to have a family discussion if applicable and sleep on your decision to adopt. Dog’s are expensive, and we don’t want our dogs moved around, they have been through enough in their lives. Please consider their financial responsibility and your lifestyle.

If you are happy with your Meet & Greet, please contact us within 24hrs to confirm you would like to adopt. We will then confirm if you are suitable, based on your meet, house check and paperwork.

The final stage is to organise a time collect your new fur baby and welcome him or her into your life!

A little note about etiquette. We do ask that prospective adoptees do not overstay their welcome whilst on their Meet & Greets, please do not stay for hours, please do not ask to ‘trial’ our rescue dogs and please do not ask overly personal questions about our carers. These behaviours all take time away from us, doing what we should be doing; rescuing animals and running our rescue safely and responsibly. Thankyou, Team MSPR.

HE HAS BEEN SAVED!!!🎉 Thank-You to the overwhelming support for this old man. Another rescue has just saved him this morning, after speaking to the rangers. Thankyou everyone for sharing, emailing and messaging, this boy will have a chance at life and receive medical care. ❤️

29/05/2024

Update- Saved. No senior dog should die in a pound! Can any Perth Rescue take this old boy in to a warm foster home??🙏🏻 He is a nice old brindle staffy male, emaciated, un-sterilised. He does not deserve to die this way. Please DM if you know a rescue who can help.

29/05/2024

Firstly Thank-You to everyone who applied for Snowy, we’ve had some lovely applicants come forward for this little man.

He is now on hold, pending-meet and greets.

If you apply for another one of our dogs in the future please mention you have already applied with us, as there is no need to fill out another application, we already have it on file.

Thank-You again for all your support, and kindness towards helping one of our rescues.

Team MSPR.

Who else make’s forts for the animals when they’re scared from the rain?!😂 Our rescue boy Fabio loves it! On a serious note, we are now heading into winter and rain or stormy weather can cause severe fear triggers in dogs and animals, especially rescue dogs who may have ptsd from previously living in the elements. There are ‘thunder jackets’ that you can buy and adaptil infusers from your vet to lessen your pets stress response. Classical music is also clinically proven to reduce stress. Also be wary of new pets to your home, as they can bolt in fear. Now’s a great time to ensure your property is adequately fenced, gates are repaired ect.

Let’s get little old Charlie an amazing forever home! This little man has been patiently waiting far too long. Please share, you can read his bio below.

Through absolutely no fault of his own! Little Charlie is now available again for adoption!

Charlie is a funny character! Think of Mr. Magoo! He is a 12-14 yr old ‘ish’ little man with a grade 4 heart murmur and arthritis. He loves to cuddle with his mom, watch movies and potter in the garden.

He is best suited to a quiet home where the environment doesn’t change as he can give a warning growl and snap- even though he has few teeth!

He loves the car and to be carried around like a little king, and is better suited to a female owner.

Charlie is one of the most character filled dogs we have ever had at the rescue! Even though he has had a tough life previously, with love and medication, he feels alot better and is trusting more on a daily basis. He sleeps in the most oddest positions😂 and will wake you up with morning zoomies!

Charlie is not overly keen on busy environments and prefers the calm and quiet of an adult household. Charlie’s one of those special fellows who is initially a bit unsure with new people but becomes affectionate once he gets to know and trust you. He is fabulous in the car and is learning to trust people again, whilst being in a very loving foster home.

Charlie is good with other little dogs, but is a bit frightened of large or boisterous dogs. He currently lives with another little female terrier he likes to play with.

So, if you’re a retired woman or couple seeking a sweet furry friend who will provide a world of companionship, Charlie might just be that special dog you’ve been looking for. His trust might take a little while to gain, but rest assured, it’s certainly worth the wait for this funny, sweet old man. Please fill out an online adoption form on our website if you are interested in adopting this little man.

Little Oscar had his first professional training session, covered by our rescue to make sure he has lovely manners and learns good boundaries. He has come leaps and bounds since we first got this little fear aggressive boy. Well done fosters, our trainer and our little team!

22/05/2024

Welcome Snowy! The perfect family boy. Estimated to be aged about 4-5 years old by our vets, he previously had a male owner and loves not only men but everyone he meets! He is great with other dogs, lovely with kids and the elderly. Today he is undergoing sterilisation surgery. He will need a dental surgery in the near future, which will be the responsibility of the new owners, whom will have to sign a health waiver to ensure the procedure is done. Snowy’s adoption fee is $650, and will be available in the next few weeks once he has recovered from his surgery, and gets a lovely pamper session ofcourse🛁as he’s a bit disheveled currently.

Our sweet Daffy has been put to sleep this afternoon, while I kissed and held her little head. 🙏🏻 More about her condition later, I’d like to use this post to say how remarkable, funny and loving she was whilst I was fostering her for just a few days, when her condition worsened and she needed round the clock care. This girl had made little steps of recovery and was starting to wag her tail more and more, she even had a pre- meet and greet just tomorrow with a beautiful lady. But it wasn’t meant to be. Daffy, rest well in heaven, you’re in no more pain, you have no breathing difficulties! Daffy was the sweetest little girl, who bonded to me very quickly, an extremely hard goodbye but we can rest in comfort knowing she had a loving end with us, rather than a pound. She was loved and wanted.

Happy Mothers Day!🌷🌷🌷Our little Poppins came to our family from She came from a rural community and when we picked her up, her puppies were nearly bigger than she was! She was a fabulous mother to her puppies and we are so lucky to be her mother now!

It’s unfortunate we have to even write this post in this day and age, but our rescue has had a few cases now where our staff members or foster-carer volunteers have been bullied, threatened and abused due to a member of the public not being suitable and or rejected for an adoption. Or if a dog has to come back to us due to the trial owner not being suitable or able to look after one of our rescues as they promised they would.

We have received threatening text- messages, calls and one of our beautiful foster- carers was even asked last night to drive an hour away, to pick up a special needs dog of ours immediately, which she did (being a kind and loving person), to ensure nothing untoward happened to him.

This behaviour is UNACCEPTABLE and will not be tolerated.

In these instances we report these people to both the RSPCA, Rangers and Police if necessary.

We are a little rescue who have lovely staff and volunteer carers, and we absolutely love to help seniors, families and special needs people find their companion dogs, as we know how important a dog can be for ones health and happiness.

We have gifted dogs with love to so many deserving owners and have not asked anything in return. We donate to other rescues when possible and we provide everything from bedding, toys and food at no cost to adoptees and foster carers. Few, if any rescues do this.

But just a caution, please do not take our kindess for granted, we work so hard to rehabilitate dogs, and to abuse or threaten us even in minor instances, will be taken extremely seriously.
Thankyou team.

UPDATE- Thankyou everyone, if he is not claimed, a local rescue with over 20yrs experience will take him on🙏🏻☺️☺️☺️Thankyou everyone for sharing and emailing.🙏🏻💕

Welcome little Daffy (Daffodil), to our rescue! Daffy is a sweet, timid, anxious 10yr old girl who has come to our rescue needing an obvious dental operation and sterilisation. She is currently not available for adoption, as she is reserved for a meet and greet with one of our waitlist members. She needs to loose a few kilos and currently weighs in at 7kgs, and should weigh approximately 4.5-5kgs. On the way to recovery sweet girl!

Plumette😫 teaching Oscar (who is currently in his trial home❤️), how to be a ‘dog,’ after he escaped through our front gate! Little Oscar is such a good boy he came right back, and is now socialising very nicely after his stay as Casa ‘s, with her little pack. His little tail wag and non chalant behaviour, is very promising!🙏🏻❤️❤️

Look at this little chicken baby! Oscar has come along way! Photo by his foster mumma!

Oscar is ready for his new home! Could that be your family?!
Let’s talk about Oscar! Brimming with energy and warmth, this funny and happy 3 yr old, little canine never fails to bring a smile to anyone’s face. Oscar has shown an excellent ability to adapt, transitioning from a dog that had never experienced the comfort of a home to an absolute delight of a house pup.

He’s a lovable teddy bear (at times!) who loves to cuddle, but truly comes alive in the midst of fun and adventure. Oscar’s transformation has been nothing short of remarkable thanks to his beautiful foster carer, and he’s ready to thrive in a loving home. Oscar is sociable and has no problems getting along with other dogs. He’s also perfectly fine with cats.

In addition to his loving nature, Oscar can bring a lot of excitement to your life. Preferring an active lifestyle, he greatly benefits from consistent training and daily long walks—these activities not only help him stay happy and healthy but also nurture his remarkable mind and cheerful personality.

Oscar is an ideal companion for a family, preferably with older kids who can keep up with his high energy levels. His charismatic demeanor and jovial spirit are infectious, and he’s always ready to welcome you home with a wagging tail and a heart full of love.

Ready to embark on adventures and partake in hilarious antics, Oscar is eagerly awaiting the chance to meet his future family. He’s a bundle of joy packed with lots of love to give, and he’s hoping to find a home as lovable and cuddly as he is! Visit our website and fill out an adoption form to apply for this little boy!
