🆘 Please share to find a home for Axel and his dad!

🆘 Please share to find a home for Axel and his dad!

Time ⏳is running out….

Axel and his dad are about to become homeless and desperately searching for a granny flat, unit, transportable on land or a rental, with an enclosed space, so that Axel doesn’t need to be given his wings. 💔

The house they have rented for last four years, is about to be demolished in a few weeks, so they urgently need to find a new place to live by next week.

Axel is a senior fellow who won’t cope being rehomed and living on the streets isn’t an option. He is a house dog, so is not destructive and they only need a small place to live. Being an older dog he is not a fence jumper, but he is not good with other animals.

His dad has fallen on hard times, has some health issues and is currently looking for work, which is making it hard to find a rental. He is hoping to secure accomodation south of the river (can be anywhere close to transport). He is looking for a rental up to $300 a week, but could also help around the property and bond is pre-approved. The current landlord can provide a reference.

Axel’s dad is very attached to him, as is he to his dad, so neither are ready to say their goodbyes, especially after losing Junior.

If you can help out in any way with accomodation, please contact Canine Welfare Australia by email [email protected] and we will put you in touch with his dad.

We also wanted to express our thanks to everybody who kindly donated to help cover Juniors cremation. He is now back with his dad, who is very grateful to have him home and thankful for all the support he has received. ❤️

Located SOR Perth.

Please share - they deserve a break. 🙏

SORTED AND GOING TO RESCUE

Any rescue’s able to assist Lana in rehoming these pups, to ensure they receive all of their vet work and are rehomed appropriately?

Their mother sadly passed away, the pups have not had any vet work and are not microchipped (as required under the law), and they are being given away free.

The flow of unplanned backyard litters is never ending and the only way to stop the cycle is by sterilising.

Rescues only please contact Lana directly if you can help these pups!🐶

‼️Have you seen Foxy?

Foxy’s mum sadly passed away just over a week ago. Another family member who Foxy knows was willing to give him a home. Instead he was given away to a stranger.

He has a family, including a teenage boy, who love him dearly and know him well, and want him returned to them.

Foxy is a senior boy around 9 years old, who is desexed and microchipped.

If you know where Foxy is please DM us and we will put you in touch with his family.

HELP SAVE OUR LITTLE PENGUINS 🐧🐧

Did you know that there are ONLY 114 Little Penguins left on Rockingham’s Penguin Island?! 😢

That is a decline 📉 of 94% since 2008!

Chicks are cooking to death due to the island being over run with tourists, natural food sources are in decline and adults are being killed by water craft such as hoons on jet skis!

Save Rockingham’s Little Penguins are holding a peaceful rally✊tomorrow:

https://facebook.com/events/s/rockos-rally-for-our-environme/9115285925200987/

https://amp.abc.net.au/article/104792226

To have any chance of saving these little guys we need an immediate ban on visitors to the island and a water craft free zone imposed around the island! This is the only way populations will hope to recover. 📈

If you are visitor to the area please do your bit and stay away. 🚷

Without action the colony will cease to exist. We are running out of time. ⌛️We need the WA Government and City of Rockingham to ACT now!

They are available to adopt directly by the public.

While the young puppies are usually rescued, sadly older and adult larger breeds don’t get much interest.

Please consider adopting. 🐕

🛑 IMPORTANT update regarding MICROCHIPS registered with HOMESAFE ID🛑

🔔 REMINDER:

The WA company HomeSafeID Microchip Pet Registry has gone into receivership. They are currently uncontactable and may no longer maintain their microchip database in the long term (details are currently still available). This means if your pet goes missing, the contact details on the microchip may not be available.

To ensure your contact details on your pet’s microchip are up to date and accessible in the long term, we recommend staying aware of updates and starting the process to register the microchip with another database.

The most commonly used registry’s include:
✅Australian Animal Registry
✅Global Micro Animal Registry ✅Central Animal Records

If you are unsure which database your pet's microchip is currently registered with, you can check here👇:
https://petaddress.com.au

• Please be aware of scam emails asking you to “renew” microchop details. Microchips do not need to be renewed once registered with a database.

If you have any questions, please contact your local vet or ourselves.

We also witnessed a dog left in a car at a shopping centre on 37 degree. 🤬 Windows may have been down but it was an Am Bulldog who is a brachycephalic breed. There should be enough education by now, to know to leave your dogs at home when shopping.

RSPCA WA inspectors attended three callouts to dogs locked in cars around the State last weekend.

🥵🥵Who has been seeing signs of heat stress in birds? 🙋‍♀️

In these heat waves please leave extra bowls of water out in a shady protected area and keep a look out for animals with heatstroke. Remember if our native fauna and bird life can suffer from heat stress, then our companion animals and livestock can most certainly be affected. Dogs don’t need to be walked or left in cars for their organs to go into failure, and species like rabbits can easily perish of left outside in these conditions.

We all need to be vigilant in regards to neighbours pets and native wildlife. If you see any animal with heat exhaustion, please take immediate steps to cool it down and seek assistance from a veterinarian. If you cannot safely access the animal please contact authorities immediately (yes Police can intervene in animal welfare cases).

With nighttime temperatures set to not drop below 29°C tomorrow night, 🥵 please ensure your pets are accommodated. ✅

Heat stroke kills!🪦 Give walks a miss! ❌ Leave your pets at home! 🏠

Even without exercise, it will be difficult for most animals to adequately cool down overnight before temperatures rise again, if they are outside.

Particularly consider the needs of seniors and young, unwell/sick/overweght, brachy (short/flat/squishy faced), long haired/double coated, and black/dark pets.

Bring them into airconditioning where possible. If you are unable to do that, set out multiple bowls of fresh water (not left in the sun), ensure they have access to appropriate shade at all times, provide sprinklers and/or paddling pools, and lay down wet towels for dogs or place ice packs for buns, and provide fans for caged pets. If they show signs of heat stress take steps to cool them and please take them to a vet immediate. 🏥

Don’t forget to consider our wildlife 🦉and insects 🐝 by leaving out a bowl of water, and check that livestock 🐄🐑🐖 have access to plenty of fresh water 💧and shade. 🌳
