Just a kind update and reminder 💜

We've been recently receiving a spike of messages, calls, voicemails and other forms of communication from people at odd hours of the day and night, and some not polite voicemails all because people aren't patient, lack flexibility and want an instantaneous response.

Please be aware of the following.

As stated on our flyers, posts and in our voicemails, texts are preferred.
This is because:

> We need to have a paper trail.

> If other volunteers have access to the devices they can catch up on the situation.

> Some devices are volunteers personal devices.

It is also worth noting:

> We are not a government funded organisation, actually we recieve no funding or support except for the kind support and donations of everyday individuals and hopefully a couple of grants in the future.

> We are currently a network based operation - this is NOT new, we have been operating this way for the past 7 years. This also means, we do not keep all the Dingoes at one location, and we do not have a facility [Yet]. This means meticulous planning has to happen to organise meets for example as it has to work for the volunteers, the potential family, the surrendering family and the Dingo in question.

> We are not a transport service, any unnecessary travel and cost incurred we will bill individuals for.

> We are 100% volunteers. No one recieves a pay check as we have no funds to pay our Directors or Operation Managers, so this means everyone works to survive and fits rescue work in on their days off. This means that people (like Founder Lara, have not had a holiday or day off in 7 years as unfortunately rescue never stops)

Taking all of this into consideration - we genuinely wish to help everyone, however, it does take time and it does mean we will be slow to respond. If you have an urgent Query and want to guarantee a response message via Facebook as multiple volunteers have access and can respond. But please don't leave horrid voicemails complaining and berating volunteers that give every inch of their spare time to our amazing Dingoes.

On behalf of the whole team,

Stay wild,

Lara Rakas,
Founder and Director
PDR.

It was a pleasure to come say hi and spread the word of what we do! Meredith Hammat MLA

Ada and Aari were pretty knackered from a busy - Jam packed day! They enjoyed their big sleep in between meets!

I had some special visitors this week. 🐾🐾

Aari and Ada, along with their ‘humans’ Lara and Jerry from Perth Dingo Rescue Ltd., came to talk with me about the work the organisation does to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome dingos in WA.

Perth Dingo Rescue are based in Girrawheen and rely on donations to continue their important work. They currently have over 70 dingoes placed safely in homes around WA after having been rescued.

You can learn more about their work and make a donation by checking out their page.

We've been holding onto a secret 🙊

*For welfare purposes*
For welfare purposes and legalities certain information will be withheld.

However,

Meet YINDI ❤️ 🩵

Aprox 4 months old, this Angel was found on a tarmac up north with a mangled leg barely alive, skin and bone - weighing 2.8kg.

She popped up on the radar and our amazing wildlife carer network and dingo conservation and welfare angels stepped in trying to save this wildling from wrong, uneducated, uncaring hands that caused her suffering and ultimately for her poor condition and presumed death of her family unit.

Yindi's foot was caught in what we think was a foot trap, she got out and we believe she barely ate and survived on insects. Terrified of humans and in need of care, the right people, carers, vets - they all fought to keep her safe, and we all won.

In a matter of a weeks she's put on weight and is now 6kg and gaining weight!

She made her way to Perth once she was vet checked and stronger, and recieved routine care (and chipping) to ensure her safety and get gov officers that were only interested in her demise to back off, after carers were threatened, harrased, and verbally attacked by these officials who's only interest was to cover up what they have done to the dingo population- Yindi's family and Yindi as well who was at threat of losing her leg due to their barbaric methods.

Positively she's almost in the clear! We can't wait to keep everyone updated on her adventures and progress, it'll be a long road but she's a strong girl.

We love, appreciate and thank everyone involved in this process of ensuring this angels safety, especially Brinkley, Dr. Javier and the wildlife carers involved. And we are sorry that you faced such horrid treatment for caring for our wildlife💜

Stay wild 💗

Stay wild ❤️✨️

A pleasure and a privilege

Look who popped down to say hello 🐕 🐾

Aari and Ada came down with their lovely handlers from Perth Dingo Rescue to promote the important work the organisation does to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome dingos in WA.

As someone who loves and cares deeply about our native animals, it’s great to see Perth Dingo Rescue operating right here in our Cowan community.

I’d encourage everyone to check them out to learn and support all that they do.

12/01/2025

To our dear followers, it’s Lara here, Founder of our rescue. I wish I didn’t need to reach out to you. I’ve held back as long as possible but to be honest, as the calls for help intensify I have to ask for urgent donations. We have less than $1,500 in our bank account and urgently need funds for vet work, food and transport.

Dingos lives are at stake and we must act now.

I’m hoping at least 12 of you can kickstart our urgent appeal by clicking here: https://perth-dingo-rescue.mygiveeasy.com/urgent-help-in-our-time-of-need/donatenow

Let me explain more. The last few months have been so full on. We’ve seen over 46 dingoes come through our doors in just the past 4 months. So many of the have been surrendered. It pains our hearts so much. We must do whatever it takes for these precious animals.

We've had dingoes from all walks of life come to us. The scared, the helpless, the beaten and abused, the survivors all equally deserving of love and care.

From Koa, the brindle warrior found half dead in the middle of a trucking highway in northern WA. To Keeba and Sakari, wildborn brothers whose mum was unfortunately taken due to 1080 on a mine site.

Pocket rocket Ernie, the dingo x who was beaten, abused, and dumped. All dingoes have a story to tell, and some, like Ada and Aari, our ambassador dingoes, will forever continue to tell people their story, share the truth, and inform the public of the violent, and extreme mistreatment our dingoes receive by landholders and the government whose main goal is to continue lining their pockets.

Our goal is help protect the dingo, to save our ecosystem, to save the outback and Save the dingoes.

We currently have approximately 20 in care that all require vetwork including vaccination, worming, chipping and desexing. The costs build up and fast as you can imagine.

We’ve dedicated our lives to the dingos. We do everything we possibly can for them. It’s what we do best. We take dingos in their darkest hours, their darkest days and rehabilitate them. Sometimes it can take weeks or even months and years in extreme cases until they are healed from their trauma but we are completely dedicated to their well being.

We need to urgently raise $15,000 to make sure we can answers the calls for help as they come in.

The funds will be put straight to work to pay for urgent and critical vet work and to help us with ongoing costs for food, and transport.

It is so important we hit this goal tonight. This is our SOS for your help.

Just $5 from each and every one of you would get us to our goal. It’s the cost of your next cup of coffee but one that will help us and our dingos in our time of need.

If you can please write the word DONE below after you have donated and please please share this post far and wide. We need all the help we can get. We really need this post to go viral so everyone can see the urgency of the situation and how every dollar that you chip in will save a life.

Just a kind note to our supporters and followers our mobile has been updated as our team is growing, if you have a direct contact to any one of our volunteers that is okay, we just ask you text and not call someone we can keep the lines open for emergencies.

New mobile number: 0480718743

All messages will be responded to the same day, may not be instant as we are all volunteers and do work outside of this.

We hope that by slowly building up our tech and allowing our team to separate rescue and personal life we see a decline in constant harassment, trolling and bullying that our team has recently been copping.

We thank everyone for their support and understanding 🙏
