All sorted (forever home still needed) - thank you to his new foster pawrents and all the shares. 💙

He will need part time workers if he doesn’t have a large social doggy friend to play with. He also needs a yard and access to inside when people are home.

Please email us if you can assist. 🥰

Smoochy Rome 🦅 is urgently looking for a new couch to crash on by this Wednesday. ‼️

Our adorable 5 month old man is the last of his siblings to find his forever family. A medium sized am staff cross (maybe bully) he will make a fabulous addition to homes, that are fairly active and have a grassed yard. His carers have put a huge amount of time into his training, so he has loads on offer.

Some of his positive attributes include:

🐕 Playful with dogs
🐈‍⬛ Lived with cats
🛋️ Loves cuddles
🙇 Suitable for school aged kids (6+)
🚙 Travels well the car
🪁 Good recall off lead
🏡 Toilet trained
🦴 Enjoys enrichment activities
🏥 Crate trained
🚪Uses a doggy door

Our delightful Rome is a friendly confident young fellow, who loves his outings and meeting new people. He loves learning and is very much food focussed, which makes him easy to train. A highly intelligent pup he already knows many basic commands, that include: sit, stay, come, paw and lay down. He will do well with someone home part to begin with if he doesn’t have a doggy friend to keep him company.

To offer Rome a forever home, please apply (please check spam folder for EOI form) via his profile here:

🎀Summers lovely foster family has worked out a way to keep her🎀

Summer 🌺 has been out and about making lots of new friends while in temp care, but after 3 months in care is desperately hoping for a forever home to put down roots 🌱 (or failing that a long term carer), by the end of this coming week when her lovely temp foster family return to work. 💼

At only 7 and half months old, Summer is an incredibly intelligent puppy who already ticks so many boxes. 📝 A happy go lucky, friendly, outgoing young lady, she is the perfect example of the loving nature of bully breeds.👌

💛 Dog social
🩷 Cat social
💛 Kid friendly (6+)
💚 Vet friendly
💛 Crate trained
🩵 House trained
💛 Good on the lead
💜 Good in the car
💛 Knows how to use a doggy door
🧡 Loves hikes and playing in water

The two things on Summer’s wish 💫list are a medium back yard, an active home who will get her out regularly and play dates with other dogs.

She is super friendly and submissive with other dogs, but still learning some of her 🐶 manners, so would need a playful young male dog at home, otherwise is just as happy to entertain herself.

We expect Summer will reach around the 27kgs mark, so the perfect mid sized staffy to chuck in the car for trips away or camping. 🏕️

If you would like to put an end to Summer’s couch surfing days 🛋️please apply via her profile: https://www.savour-life.com.au/adopt-a-dog/search-now/view/76830

When is it my turn? ⏳

Spunky Rome 🏛️is his putting his best modelling skills into action to show our appreciation for the donations of kibble from the team at SavourLife that all our large breed puppies are raised on. 🧡

The last of his litter to find a home, we are suprised (and tbh a bit saddened) that our strapping prince is still with us. He has not received a single returned application form in the 8 weeks since he came into our care from the pound. We find it hard to believe that no one has fallen head over heels for such a dashing young lord.

Rome ticks all the boxes - loves playing with his doggy foster sister and has lived with cats previously. He travels well, walks good on lead, is house trained and even has good recall. Being a cuddly lad we also think Rome would be suitable for a family with school aged kids.

We would dearly love to find Rome his forever home, as he fabulous foster family are going on holiday in September. Being an Am Staff mix, Rome will be a medium to large size boy who will be reasonably active and reach around 30kgs.

If you would like to offer Rome a palace worthy of this little emperor 👑, please send your enquiries to:

https://www.savour-life.com.au/adopt-a-dog/search-now/view/78382

Or if you are available to foster ongoing from the 4th of September for Rome, please contact us via our email: [email protected]

Rome is located in Perth.

⭐️ALL SORTED - THANK YOU⭐️

Bowie 👨‍🎤was adopted from our rescue as a 10 week old pup, however his family have gone through a change in circumstances, which means he is needing urgent care for about two - three months. 📆

He is a very loved family member, so as his adoptive family are unable to have him at the present time, we are assisting them in the hope we don’t need to find him another home.

A 4 year old Cattle Dog mix, Bowie is happiest being a couch buddy. He has always been an inside dog and has great house manners. A sweet friendly boy, Bowie has lived with cats previously and is living with toddlers, so can be placed with both. Although he is not aggressive, he hasn’t lived with dogs and he would like to be the only dog at home.

Bowie is a sensitive soul, so prefers gentle humans who are also confident and calmer. He is still a young larger dog at around 28-30kgs and can be strong on lead, but is also well behaved. He also travels very well.

If you feel you can assist Bowie, we will need to get you to sign up as a carer, so please contact us at 👇[email protected]

In the event that their situation doesn’t change, Bowie will then go back up for adoption via our rescue, as per our policies and adoption contract.

Bowie is located in Perth and his costs will be covered.

Please share to assist Bowie. 💫

We are saddened to hear that compassionate staff members at Foothills Animal Hospital were seriously injured doing what they love. Wishing the staff involved a speedy recovery, both physically and emotionally from this traumatic incident. ❤️‍🩹

📣 IMPORTANT SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT 📣

At Foothills Animal Hospital, we love caring for your pets and we strive to always provide a safe working environment.

We place the safety of our valued clients and their pets alongside with our team as our highest priority.

We sadly had a traumatic incident last week, where two of our team members, a Veterinarian and a Nurse, suffered a severe and unprovoked dog attack, one of them requiring emergency surgery for a broken bone. They were fortunate to receive excellent medical care and are now thankfully recovering, however, this incident has highlighted again the importance of our safety.

At our hospital we help many large, unsociable and aggressive dogs that present a danger to our team. These dogs often do not venture outside their properties, nor do they encounter other dogs or people. It is important for the owners of these dogs to understand the stress a vet visit can cause. Due to the unpredictable nature of our interactions, we need the Owners of these pets to have full control of their animals while visiting our hospital including the carpark and particularly in the small confines of their consult room where a pet is more likely to feel trapped and stressed.

With this in mind we would like to share our hospital guidelines to help minimise the risks associated with working with animals.

• Please understand the risks we take at work and never be dismissive of a team member that is careful around your pet, until we know your pet, we might be cautious and that is ok.

• Never dismiss a Vet or a Nurse that is cautious around your pet, they might have had a traumatic experience in the past.

• When making an appointment, please advise if you have any concerns about your pet’s past behaviour and experience at home or in a public setting. We will tailor your pet’s care to ensure they feel comfortable and at ease.

• A friendly pet can behave very differently at the vets as fear overrides their trust.

• Please warn us if a pet is likely to bite or has snapped in the past.

• We ask that you bring all dogs likely to bite muzzzled, and to call ahead so that we can plan your visit in the safest manner.

• Chat to our team about calming pills for your pets to reduce their fear and make our interactions safer.

• Help us by always having your pet on a leash whilst at our hospital or safely contained in a pet carrier.

• Always present your pet with the most capable handler and never send a pet to the hospital with a minor.

• Our team will always advocate for your pet. If at any time during your visit with us, a team member advises that we need to stop what we are doing, please understand that this is in the best interests of your pet.

• If you fail to disclose the risk, you are putting our team directly in harm’s way and can be held responsible.

Our team are trained to handle pets with compassion, aiming for a fear-free experience that fosters a positive and reassuring atmosphere. We implement various measures to provide a high standard of care whilst keeping our patients’ stress levels to a minimum.

PLEASE HELP KEEP OUR TEAM SAFE SO THAT WE CAN BE AVAILABLE TO KEEP CARING FOR YOUR TREASURED PETS.

Thank you,
Foothills Animal Hospital 🐾

URGENT URGENT URGENT

Sadly Summer 🌺 is still in urgent need or she is going to kennels this weekend (if we can find one to help). ❤️‍🩹

The carers have done their best to hold onto her, but can’t any longer due to a change in their circumstances. This hurts our hearts as she is just a puppy and has already spent time in the pound. It is also not ideal timing as she is booked in for desexing next Thursday and leaving it any longer risks her coming into season.

We adore Summer for her happy go lucky outgoing vibrant personality. She is super smart and loves training. An active girl, Summer loves adventures and water. She would be perfect for beach goers or hikers. She is also good in the car and pretty good on lead.

Summer would be best with older kids over 8 years. She can go with cats. Must be dog savvy as will still chase out of play. She loves other dogs, but can forget her manners. We would only place her with a large playful pooch.

To help save Summer from the kennels please email [email protected] for a foster form.

Or to adopt:

https://www.savour-life.com.au/adopt-a-dog/search-now/view/76830

Please note: we supply kibble, bedding, harness, lead and cover all vet work.

Please share for furtabulous Summer. She is located in Perth. 🩷🌼💜

It’s International Homeless Pets Day so we thought we would share some of our beautiful woofs who found themselves homeless. 🍂

Each dog that passes through our rescue has their own story to tell, here are four of their stories in short:

Summer was living on the streets as a puppy with a man who was abusing her. She was rescued when he was arrested.
https://www.savour-life.com.au/adopt-a-dog/search-now/view/76830

Sebby was isolated then dumped and running the streets terrified for days before we captured him. He has had to learn to trust again.
https://www.savour-life.com.au/adopt-a-dog/search-now/view/62851

Lola was abandoned with her siblings in a box in country town as a tiny puppy no more than a few weeks old. She was the lucky one who survived.
https://www.savour-life.com.au/adopt-a-dog/search-now/view/69150

Polly was deserted with a puppy to live on the streets of a regional town after being owned her whole life. She is putting that behind her.
https://www.savour-life.com.au/adopt-a-dog/search-now/view/78112

These dogs are a testament to the forgiving, adaptable nature of rescue dogs, who reward us with their loyalty, companionship and presence.

Love the dog in front of you for who they are and not what you want them to be. Appreciate their individuality and embrace their quirks. Give them the understanding they deserve and time they need.

The joy they bring into our lives can’t be replaced. 🌻

There is no dog like Rome…🏛️

Our five month old handsome Rome is the perfect Am staff mix of puppy love, intelligence and playfulness.

His fabulous carers have been focusing on training which Rome is picking up quickly and he loves to play with his older furry foster sister who does a great job sharing her toys.

Rome loves to learn new commands, is toilet trained, good in the car and learning mat training. He would be perfect for active couples or families with older kids and another dog at home. Rome enjoys enrichment activities at home and the mandatory snuggles in the evening.

Unfortunately despite all the positive attributes Rome has on offer, he has had no interest in being provided a forever home. We can’t understand why as we think our little dobby is just the most adorable boy and will slot in well into most homes. Rome would love another playful dog at home and could go with kitties too.

If you think Rome 🏺is the perfect strong-man to keep you company, please apply via the link below:

Cutie patootie Polly pocket 👛 is looking for a forever home. 🩷

Polly is a gentle sweet natured girl of 5 years and exceptionally well behaved. Being a staffy she is far more comfortable inside on the couch than outside in the yard. Polly is also house trained at home and uses a doggy door.

A lower energy doggo, Polly likes her outings with people in quiet areas and is great in the car. She is good on lead though can be anxious if other unfamiliar dogs enter her space too quickly and will need a home that won’t correct her for giving warnings if rude dogs run at her. Polly doesn’t want to share the home with other female dogs (she hasn’t been assessed with males yet), so is probably best as an only dog until assessed further.

An easy going staffy, Polly copes reasonably well being left alone, but doesn’t love it and is best suited to part time workers, semi retirees or families with a stay at home parent.

If you would like to give our smiley girl a loving forever home please contact us by https://www.savour-life.com.au/adopt-a-dog/search-now/view/78112

She is an incredible doggo who deserves to be loved and someone’s priority. 💜🩷💜

Summer 🌺 is in need of URGENT foster care this weekend!🚨

She has been in care for a few months and we expected her to adopted by now. It’s unfortunate our staffy pups are being over looked through no fault of their own. They are all amazing dogs and their carers have done a fantastic job with training.

An energetic, happy, outgoing young lady, Summer loves kids and people in general. She could go with tolerant dog savvy cats and another playful boofa but is also okay on her own.

A total water baby, who loves to work/learn and go on adventures, Summer is also great in the car. She will make a wonderful companion for an active family with older kids and who is looking for a social pup. Summer is best with someone home part time during the settling in period to set her up for success as with all new dogs.

If you are able to foster Summer please send us an email: [email protected]
to sign up.

Summer is seven months old, located in Perth and would like a yard to play in.

Our silver v***n Stella and silver fox Kingston recently scored themselves an amazing home each to live out their retirement. 🩶

Their lovely families purchased them brand new orthopaedic beds to help support their joints going into their senior years and plenty of new toys to keep them occupied which they were eager to play with. We are such huge advocates for adoptions of more mature dogs as they are still fit enough to enjoy a decent walk, more adaptable, always well behaved and are easy to care for.

A heartfelt thank you to both their forever and foster families for opening their hearts and homes to these two very special and deserving doggos. 💖

🩷💜ADOPT EITHER OF US 💜🩷

Our two gorgeous young ladies have been waiting for adoptive homes for some time, but for reasons unbeknown to us have been repeatedly overlooked.

Summer ☀️ is an energetic happy outgoing young lady, who could go with tolerant cats and another playful boofa. She is a water baby, loves to work/learn and go on adventures! https://www.savour-life.com.au/adopt-a-dog/search-now/view/76830

Arktika ❄️ is a little more reserved in nature, but extremely dog social and would love another boofa at home to keep her company. Tiki is happy to be a couch dog, but also loves to play and her outings. https://www.savour-life.com.au/adopt-a-dog/search-now/view/75901

Both of our princesses are house trained, travel well and suitable to be placed with kids over 8 years.

If they can’t find forever homes in the next few weeks, we will need to find them new foster homes and we would much prefer they each find a forever family to join. 🍀

If you are interested in welcoming either of our stunning girls into your family, please apply via the links next to their names.

Please share to help Summer and Arktika get their happy fur-ever afters. 💞

While we have plenty of interest in our Groodle pups, we have another more mature adorable floof-meister waiting for his forever home. 🩶🤍

Sebby is a super cute and low energy gentleman, 🎩 best suited to people who either have an existing small confident female dog or where humans are primarily home most of the time.

Sebby sadly did not have a good start to life and we suspect was not exposed to much. As a result he has some body handling issues around going to the vets and being groomed. Sebby is also can be reactive on lead especially to larger dogs so requires a confident owner though is has great leash manners the rest of the walk. He was was then abandoned on the streets which is where his anxiety around being left came from.

Although he does live with cats and dogs, Sebby is selective with both. Kids under 10 years are not really his thing (visiting grand children could be managed), but teens who want a study buddy would be great. A good little alert dog, Sebby requires a calm homes in the quieter outer suburbs or semi rural areas. He is quite the character so knows what he likes or dislikes.

Sebby is such a wonderful house pooch, who loves being the centre of attention, cuddles and watching movies with you, we know he will make a lovely companion for someone special, that can support his needs. 💌

We may have been keeping a little secret from you all…🤭

Say g’day 🐨 to our adorable 7 week old Groodle pups, Banjo, Clancy, Matilda, Drover and Billy B. 🌾

*We will be closing enquiries and placing pups on hold at 6.30 this evening. Applicants still have time to return their EOI form and property photos however. Please remember to check spam folders in you haven’t received a form. All completed EOI forms will then receive a call from our volunteers over the next three days. Don’t forget we have many other lovely medium sized pups and adult dogs waiting for loving homes. 🏡

Our darling wee cherubs came into our care at a week old and have been tenderly cared for in a home with their gorgeous mumma. Very sadly their little sister we called Grace was handed to us as an angel. Their story will be told in due time, but for now we are on a mission to find the perfect forever families for our famous five.

The siblings have been carefully raised in a home with children, cats and other dogs, so are already off to a great start in terms of their socialisation. Family friendly puppies they have been well handled, so are exceptionally cuddly little bears, who are also playful and outgoing. Their mother has an outstanding temperament, in both her gentle nature and intelligence, so we expect her offspring will follow in her paw prints. 🐾

If you would be interested in offering a loving home to one of our beautiful sweethearts, please apply via their profiles:

Please note: we are unable to give guarantees on suitability for allergy sufferers, but expect they will all be low shedding. They will require regular grooming and may be prone to allergies.

If you are not in the market to adopt, please take the time to share our babies. We are located in Perth, WA and they will not be available for adoption interstate. Our rescue has a detailed screening process and places puppies on the basis of best fit.

Thanks to the wonderful support from the community Bruno found a lovely new family to adopt him where he immediately made himself right at home. 🩵🤎🤍

When our posts are shared with our friends, family and local community groups, it allows us to find solutions for our dogs that are in urgent need.

A big thank you to Bruno’s new family for opening their loving home to this gentle handsome boy and sending our best wishes to his old family who we know loved Bruno just as dearly.💞

💯 We remember the days when it was an offence to call our dogs “furbabies” 😂

We were lucky enough for the lovely Jaimii 💜 from Pawprints on the Heart Photography to recently take some time out of her busy schedule to snap some beautiful photos 📸 of two of our gorgeous foster doggos looking for homes. 💞

We picked out a couple of our absolute favourites of Lyla and Lola (how cute are they!). Jaimii drove all the way from her northern suburbs home down to Rockingham and Mandurah to capture these shots of these girls. She also delivered each doggo a goodies bag.

Thank you so much Jaimii - we dearly appreciate your support and think you are amazing!!!🤩

Our gorgeous girl Summer🌷has been in care for two months now and unfortunately hasn’t found herself a forever home…and as a result her carers have asked us to move her.

A deserving pup, she had a rough start to life being mistreated by her first owner while living on the streets before she came into rescue. However Summer hasn’t let that get in the way of her vibrant joyful friendly personality and is always eager to meet new people. A happy go lucky, playful pup who enjoys adventures and being with her people, we would love to see her find the devoted stable home she deserves.

A people’s dog, she needs to be part of the family and a home that is committed to continuing her training her. Summer does like to play with other big boofas and could be slowly introduced to cats with a dog savvy care givers. She also seems to enjoy the company of kids, though would need older children as she can get a bit excited to say hello and may knock little ones over.

We are keen to find a foster or forever family who are happy treat her as part of the family and give her access to the main part of the home. Summer currently is with full time workers and copes fine, along as she gets enough mental enrichment, play time and cuddles in the evening.

Please contact us via email: [email protected] if you can open your homes and hearts to foster Summer, or apply via the link below for more info or to apply to adopt this special girl:

https://www.savour-life.com.au/adopt-a-dog/search-now/view/76830

UPDATE: Bruno has gone on trial with a lovely family. 💞 Thank you to the community for coming together to help Bruno. ❤️

Bruno is out of options and needing urgent care this week. We have again sent out 17 forms but not receiving returned forms. Sadly this has put Bruno at risk as time is now very limited.

We can’t stress the urgency of this situation enough, as one of the people in home is immune compromised and coming home this week, so Bruno needs to be moved.

We unfortunately don’t have a kennel for him to go to so a suitable pet free foster home if needed immediately. Foster care is a lifeline given to dogs in need to provide stepping stone to a forever home. There is no expectation to adopt, just an understanding that these dogs need stability, love and time to settle in (decompression sets dogs up to succeed).

Bruno is an incredibly lovely, friendly boy who enjoys the company of his humans and is very affectionate. He is active dog who likes a walk every second day and would like a suitable yard to play in. Bruno does like to be with his humans when they home, but can be outside during the day if you work. He is house trained, is pretty good on lead (needs more work walking past other dogs), knows basic commands and travels well in the car.

Bruno is good with kids, though over 6-8 years will best for now.

If you can provide long term care to Bruno or would like to adopt please contact us by emailing 👇[email protected] for a form.

We can supply kibble, a bed and everything else needed to help Bruno settle in. We are located in Perth. Bruno is sterilised, microchipped and vaccinated (including a proheart injection). He is 2 years old.

We can’t believe our adorable, kitty-loving🐱teddybear 🐻 Jager is still looking for his forever home. 💚

At only 8 months old he is a big boy weighing in at 37kgs, but he is certainly a lover not a fighter.

Jager would do well in a home with cats and a large older female dog to keep him company. He is more your couch potato lap dog type, but does enjoy a play with his doggy friends and insists on a smooch with his humans in the morning. Jager ticks all the boxes - he is house trained, great in the car and good on lead.

To adopt Jager you can apply via his profile here:

Please note he is not sterilised yet due to size, but this is included in the adoption fee.

UPDATE: Now on trial with his new family. 🐾 Thank you to everyone who shared and his new family. ❤️

Bruno our Pointer cross needs to come back into our care due to his adoptive family going through a heartbreaking medical emergency. 💔💔

We can’t stress the urgency of this situation enough, as one of the people in home is immune compromised and we unfortunately don’t have a kennel for him to go to.

Miss Polly Pocket arrived today from Derby and already winning over hearts. 💕

What a doll! Surprised to find she has already been desexed and obviously loved at some point in her life. She knew what a lead was and jumped straight in the car. A well mannered girl of around 4-5 years she is going to be a wonderful addition to a family.

Welcome to Polly and a huge thank you to her carers for opening their home to Polly. Another shout out to the rangers for driving her to the airport and Doc for covering her flight. 💜
