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 💗

19/01/2025

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 🙏

2024 - what a roller-coaster of a year you've been 😅

2025 - Bring it on 💪💪

As we go into the new year (officially)

We want to recap on what our 2024 was like, and to thank our supporters for the love, trust and support thats come our way and allowed us to continue our work.

2024, was HARD.

It started off in sadness, with Rooney's case, after a long battle with the support of her hopeful forever family and Kate and her team at Warwick Veterinary Hospital, Rooney lost her battle with Erlichiosis, which broke our hearts from the get go.

From there our year picked up pace, Dancer (now Yarla) who's whole family was shot in the Murchinson, came to us when two kind farm hands saved her life along with the relentless, sleepless work her temp guardians put in to help her recover.

We then picked up pace.

Our team of 2, became 4, which changed and became 5 and then 7.
The expansion begun.
The vision grew.
The help from our community blossomed.

We took on a student from Edith Cowan University (ECU) who showed immense interest and passion and was a natural with all the dingoes, he quickly became a key member in our operation.

Whelping season started, the numbers rose.

Backyard breeding. Poaching. Orphans due to the baiting, trapping and shooting of their parents. One pup found barely alive, and another, and another. More seeking out human interaction due to losing their family.
Hybrids homed into the wrong hands.

It all slapped us in the face.

In 2 month, we have over 40 cases.

In 5 months, it rose to over 60.

Then Haru, a beautiful Brindle Alpine Dingo that was a fabulous foster mum in Kal, tragically passed away. Shattering our team to its core.

Along with the tragic death of Steve and Eulalia, on top soon after at Wooleen Station, throwing us into an even bigger urge to help our Dingoes.

For those who don't know, all of our rescue members are unpaid volunteers that all work full time and / or study outside of this, which posed a challenge.

Every ounce of spare time turned into rescue time. Applications, home checks, phone calls, meet and greets. For the Dingoes we wouldn't hesitate to do whatever it took.

> We launched our Dingo Guardian Assistance Program [D-GAP] to create a closer community where we could offer assistance with short term respite care, holiday care, Cost of living assistance, food hamper assistance, veterinary assistance, and homelessness assistance.

> We expanded and opened our Kalgoorlie Volunteer and community hub, all thanks to Rolf, who moved out there.

> We looked at the potential to further expand and open rural hubs and end of life sanctuaries (now in the works).

> We partnered with local zoos and sanctuary to put ambassador dingoes into parks!

> We started working with Tom Price local Trish to work on creating a dingo education program for kids (in the works)

> We launched the Last Litter Program, which aims to desex and return dingoes to their homes, so they can't have any more pups and to minimise complications. Increasing responsible guardianship.

> We took part in the WA wildlife show WA Gould League at Herdsman Lake, and Smashed it! An absolute Hightlight, seeing all of our one on one training and work paying off, smashing misconceptions and creating young ambassadors for their own kind!

> We launched the containers for change and PayPal giving fund to give supporters more methods to help the dingoes.

> We recieved INSANE assistance and collaborated from the following:

Pet Fresh
Petbarn
Cenvet Australia
Animal Rescue Cooperative (ARC) Western Australia
WA Dingo Association Incorporated
Highlands Dingo Rescue Ltd
Deputy Mayor James Rowe JP - City of Wanneroo
Balu Blue Foundation
Dingo Genetics Research
Shire of Ashburton
WA Gould League

We would also like to take the time to thank all of the private donors, theres too many to name, but we appreciate you all 💜 and we want to thank you guys for any further support we receive from you all x

2024 has been a year of record numbers of Dingoes in need. We need your support more than ever to be prepared for the year ahead and continue to expand our operation to help our dingoes.

All donations over $2 are tax deductible and you will be sent a receipt.

From the team here at Perth Dingo Rescue Ltd. We wish all of our followers, supporters and fellow dingo guardians a very safe, well spent Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

This year has been a particularly busy and big year for us here at the rescue. Lots of up and downs, sleepless nights, busy and long days, with most days being spent on the road driving hundreds of kilometres and pulling 14-16 hour days on the road.

Our team has gone above and beyond helping the dingoes whilst managing lives of their own along with full time work and studies outside of our operation.

While we do understand a delay in dealing with some cases or applications may be frustrating during the silly season, we do hope everyone will have some patience with us as we deal with curveballs thrown at us each day.

We currently have a gigantic backlog of applicants and house calls to get through but we will be in touch.

Anyone waiting on receipts from us, they were finalised on Friday with the backlog, and will be out shortly once we've all spent some time with our loved ones.

Once again, thank you all for the continued support, we look forward to helping more dingoes in the future and growing our team 💕

Much love,

Lara

[On behalf of the whole team: Jerry, Sasha, Rolf, Matt, Maria and Marta]

Check the last image to see how much our dingoes adore the grainfree we recieve from Animal Rescue Cooperative (ARC) Western Australia and the Petbarn foundation!

A humongous thank you to all volunteers that make this happen and help all rescues including ours with insane donations!!

The donations that come through to us allow us to help continue to supplement our dingoes in care with good grain free kibble, and also help our community where possible!

We've been so under the pump here at PDR that we're a bit behind on quite a few things, but we just had to say thank you to ARC and all volunteers and post these super cute photos 🥰

We wouldn't be able to help as much as we do, and do what we do without amazing people and initiatives such as ARC 🩵 we appreciate all you guys do 🙏

OUR TEAM ❤️

From time to time, we get asked, who is the "team"

Not long ago, we all had a team meeting (minus two people)

But these are the individuals that are apart of our rescue team !

Once a week I'll be posting a meet the team post so you all get the chance to get to see the faces behind the posts, texts and calls.

APPRECIATION POST 💖💖

We'd like to thank everyone that supports us and helps with donations.
This post specifically is to thank the key organisations and individuals that consistently support our work with donations 👏

▶️ Pet Fresh , the Pet Fresh family, we love local, and we especially adore the Pet Fresh team

▶️ Animal Rescue Cooperative (ARC) Western Australia , Jenny and team, without your continued support we wouldn't be able to do everything we do! The donations we recieve from ARC help us immensely, and allow us to help other dingo guardians in need of assistance through our Dingo Guardian Assistance Program (D-GAP) .

▶️ Cenvet Australia Tegan and Narelle and team, the love and help with donations and educational Dingo visits mean the absolute world 🌎 💙 We are insanely thankful for you all, and can't wait to shower you all with more puppy cuddles. 💖

▶️ Deputy Mayor James Rowe JP - City of Wanneroo thank you for all your support and all you do for the community! Here's to more dingo cuddles! 😁

And our top two donators that essentially have kept us operating and helping dingoes:

📢 Alli, a fellow dingo guardian, advocate, and overall an phenomenal human being, Alli does so so much for everyone, we hope to one day, once the sanctuary is sorted, regenerate a part of the land, bushland, in your honour 💓

And lastly 🥁🥁🥁

The founders very own parents 💙 everyone knows there's no greater love and support than that of the parents, and in this case it is very honestly the truth.

Did you know PDR started in 2018 with its very first case? Since that first case and the over 100 cases we've had up to now, there's always been support in one shape or form from Maria and Rado, and for them, we are forever thankful ❤️

If you'd like to donate towards our mission, please see the post below for details or inbox us, with over 14 incoming dingoes, you bet we will need any ounce of support 💜

We appreciate you all x

Lara and team 🐾

KOA UPDATE 📢📢

For our followers that where around when we took in the little pup that was days old, picked up by truckers in rural WA 🥁🥁🥁
