Canine Welfare Australia

Canine Welfare Australia Our experience is in the rescuing, rehabilitating and appropriately rehoming dogs that may not other options available to them.

Based in Perth, WA - we are a rescue who promotes responsible ownership of all dogs through education; advocate for humane management of dogs and force free training methods; and campaign against breed descriminatory laws. Our Story

The Canine Welfare Alliance of Australia Inc, was formed out of the need to campaign for changes to legislation to improve welfare for all dogs, regardless of breed,

and later on to assist dogs who find themselves in need of rescue. A foster based rescue in Perth, Western Australia, our experience is with staffy, bully and molosser breeds, however our doors are open to any dog in need of our help. We provide a comprehensive service to the community, but are completely unfunded and run by a small group of passionate volunteers who have extensive experience in animal welfare. We provide an foster program for dogs who come into care, with the aim that they never find themselves in the system again. We also liaise with local and state regulators to improve penalties for the abuse or neglect of canines; advocate for the removal of breed discriminatory legislation, including promotion of responsible canine ownership; and campaign to introduce consistent, progressive and humane welfare management practices, in an attempt to decrease euthanasia rates of all canines. Lastly we provide a referral, advocacy and support service to dog owners who require assistance to keep or care for their dogs, including food and parasite treatments when available. If owners are provided with adequate resources and appropriate advice, it reduces the need for canines to enter pounds, rescue groups or shelters. It is our belief that all canines have the ability to be social, well behaved community and family members, given the right opportunities, and provided with the right environment, training and guidance. We place the welfare and needs of each dog before profits or personal gain, and each dog which enters our care is treated with compassion, patience and a force free approach.

Incredibly sad 😢 and appalling conduct on the male owner’s behalf. 🤬

How many times do people need to be reminded to stop leaving dogs unattended in cars! Dogs don’t have a voice, so we need to make intelligent decisions on their behalf. This poor darling’s ending would have been horrendous. 💔

Rest in peace Arnie. 🌈🐾

Bayside Criminal Investigation Branch detectives have charged a man following investigations into the alleged theft of a vehicle, containing Arnie the German Shepherd, from Wynnum on Saturday 8 November.

The owner of the vehicle has assisted police with these investigations, and it has now been established that a criminal offence of unlawful use of motor vehicle has not occurred.

Following extensive investigations, yesterday evening the 43-year-old male owner was charged with one count of breach of duty of care of animal by failing to provide under the Animal Protection Act.

Investigations remain ongoing.

Media and the public are thanked for their extensive assistance throughout the investigation.

⭐️⭐️ TEMP OR PERM FOSTER CARE NEEDED ⭐️⭐️

Our gorgeous goofy Eddie 🐶is looking for care for one week from the 30th November to December 6th while his carers are away. 🧳

Eddie will need a foster home with no other pets or small children please. He much prefers someome who works from home part time but can cope on his own if need be. Eddie is house trained and wont need to be walked during that week.

Ideally Eddie will find himself a forever home by then, but it’s unlikely so we do need a carer to take him, as we don’t have kennels available to use.

If you can provide the couch n care, we can supply everything you need. ✅

Our goofy lad Eddie, 🎯is still patiently waiting for his perfect fun loving family to adopt him (foster to adopt considered). 🏡💛

Ed is a super affectionate and loving chap, who enjoys plenty of cuddles with his humans. Sometimes he forgets he is a bit too big to be a lap doggo, though tries his best to convince his carers he is the perfect size! If you are in the market for a best buddy who lives for walks, treats and play time, Ed would make a great companion.

He is exceptionally well house trained and walks nicely on lead. Eddie is very much a house doggy and happy to be your side kick if you work from home. He also doesn’t mind trips to the beach and river for a splash. 💦

If you are seeking out a loving sweet and happy boy, we hope Ed will be the one you have been looking for.

He is about 4 years old, 35kgs, and a boxer x bull mastiff mix.

UPDATE: So it’s seems the owner of Sasha has been charged with providing a false statement and she was euthanased due pre-existing health conditions. 🥺💔

This is absolutely awful! 💔

Rottweilers are the most gentle and loving dogs. What sort of disturbed teenagers would do this to a dog. Parents please teach your children to treat all animals with kindness.

Rest in Peace Sasha. 🕊️

💖 Adopted 💖

We can’t believe this sweetheart, who has been on her own at a property for a month, has had no returned forms to foster her?! 😔

The property is being sold and she has no where to go. If you can foster Nala and are committed to helping, please contact us for a foster form. She is very urgent. 🚨

*Please note offers on Facebook do not mean the dog is safe or has foster. Rescues often deal with ghosting, so only mark dogs as safe when foster is confirmed.

♥️ FOSTER CARE SORTED - THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SHARES ♥️

Nala’s family have had a change in circumstances due to medical reasons and for the past month she has been alone at her owners property.

They are unable to care for her moving forward, so she needs to find a new foster or forever home immediately (foster to adopt would be ideal).

Nala is a sweet, mid-sized, middle-aged potato, with a loving, cuddly, staffy personality. She will be a great addition to a family with kids, singles or couples, or even retirees with grand children who visit. An all round good gal, she ticks all the boxes for a staffy loving home.

Nala has lived with other male dogs before who she got along with, however she becomes anxious when there is lots of excitement and would be best as only pet for this reason. She hasn’t been socialised with cats or pocket pets.

She is however suitable for full time workers, as long as she has access to inside and is a lady who is very well house trained. Nala has been loved, so is very much use to being part of the family. She travels well in the car, is good at the vets, walks okay on lead and is a confident happy dog.

A easy going girl, Nala is more your cuddling on the couch type, though does enjoy her kong and play time with toys.

If you would like to help Nala and her family out, please contact us for a form at [email protected]

Nala is located in Perth and comes with everything she requires to settle in. She is desexed, 7 years old and Staffy x Am Staff.

Please share for the sweetest girl Nala.

Our pretty little Lyla 💜is our second longest dog in care. 🌺

Lyla is very much loved by her foster family, but they are unable to keep her and in September it will be a heart-rendering 💔 TWO YEARS since we rescued her.

If you remember Lyla’s story she had a sad start to life and then was abandoned in a yard due to family emergency.

Since being saved Lyla has matured into a playful, super cuddly and well behaved lady, who adores kids and teens. Sadly she is still anxious with strangers and in particular certain men or when visiting vets. However, Lyla has formed a strong bond with the teens she lives with and loves the children who visit.

To help her confidence with people Lyla would be best placed with a very social older dog (male or female) who will match her play style. Lyla is very much an inside dog, however she loves her days lazing in the sun, road trips and outings in quiet areas.

Lyla is living in a home with a caged bird and is very respectful of that bird. She may also be suited to a well fenced rural property if she is left inside when unattended. A real sweetheart she is very responsive to commands and thrives off positive reinforcement.

If you feel you can provide our lovely girl Lyla a home where she can continue to grow, reach out via her profile Savourlife below:

https://www.savour-life.com.au/adopt-a-dog/search-now/view/68106

Her adoption fee also includes a $200 harness and a welcome pack.

Please share for Lyla to assist her to find 🔮 her furry tail ending. 💜🩶💜

☔️URGENT FOSTER CARE REQUIRED PERTH.☔️

Update: thank you for the shares - Storm is now sorted. Please consider our long termers who need loving homes. 🩷

Gorgeous Storm ⛈️ has heartbreakingly been through 6 different homes in the last month (through zero fault of her own) and desperately requires a foster family she can decompress with. 🩷

She was shifted from home to home, as people (with good intentions) took her in, thinking they could help her stay out of the pound system, but due to their own health and disabilities Storm was moved on.

A friendly girl, Storm will require someone home part time or full time, without other pets (social male bully breed may be okay if ability to separate), and she should be fine with school aged kids.

She is an approximately 1 year old medium sized staffy x am
staff, who is desexed and quite calm for her age. She walks well on lead, is good in the car and is partly house trained. She can get along with other dogs, but prefers to be the only dog in the home at this point.

Storm is well behaved youngster, but needs someone who can commit to long term foster and understands the needs of rescue dogs eg they are going to have accidents to start with and need time put into furthering their training.

If you can assist this absolute sweetheart please contact us via 📧 : [email protected] for a foster form.

Storm is also available to go on foster view to adopt (same conditions apply). She will come with bedding, kibble, harness and lead etc.

Please share for Storm to stay out of the pound. 💜🩵🤍

Eddie was sadly returned to us 💔 and is again looking for a forever home. 🏠

He has settled back in with his dedicated foster family with ease and is out enjoying local walks with some of our lovely vollies.

If you would like to meet Eddie then we would love to hear from you. This handsome goofy boy is very well trained around the home and on lead. He just needs the right person who will continue the love he is receiving. 🤍🩵💙
