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.

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. 🤍🩵💙

Please don’t forget about beautiful Miss T. 🥰

Sad that our brindle beauty gets overlooked. She has so much love to give a family and is such a happy doggo. We would love to see her find her own furry tail ending. 💜🩷🩶

Tequila 🌼 has been in care for an entire year. All of her babies and her friend Bronx, have been adopted. We were hoping she would have found her own furry tail ending by now. 💗💜🩵

A happy go lucky friendly bull mastiff mix, Tequila makes an absolutely gorgeous family dog. She is great with kids though forgets her size sometimes, so best with confident children over age of 6 who are use to larger boofas. Of course Tequila is just as happy living with a single person or couple who are looking for a cuddly best friend to come home to.

Tequila prefers to be the only dog at home, but could be slowly introduced to a male doggy friend with an experienced family. She is currently on foster care with a cat, but we feel she is best in a home without smaller animals.

From a yard dog to house dog, Tequila has learned great manners in the home and is fine to be left alone with full time workers. She loves her car rides now and enjoy walks every second day, but still requires some work on lead. At home she enjoys a play, is eager to please and is very good motivated so easy to train.

Tequila doesn’t need a huge yard though prefers to have access inside via a doggy door. She is an exceptional girl who has come along way in her confidence thanks to her foster mum. A very friendly girl who is great with both men and women, Tequila loves snuggling up on a lap of visitors.

If you feel she might fit in perfectly with lifestyle, please contact us via her profile:

Little update on our two seniors 👵🏻👴🏻 Paddy and Jay Jay. 🐶

Paddy had two big surgeries to remove her mammary masses, and a number of teeth. She also had a more complicated spey surgery after a previous caesarean. Why Paddy wasn’t sterilised then is anyone’s guess - money clearly matters more than welfare to greeders. Unfortunately her mammary mass was a low grade carcinoma and while they have a low rate of metastasising they can reoccur locally. X-rays taken of her lungs as a precaution were thankfully clear of masses. The good news Paddy did avoid a third surgery for her mild entropian in her eyes after a visit with Dr Ziggy who has a special interest in the area. Paddy has recovered so well, but the best news is she is a foster fail and is staying with her lovely forever family who adore her. 🩷💜

Jay Jay was our other senior - turns out he is actually 7 years old not 4 as we were first informed. Mind you he had us all fooled given his teeth and physique, except for the little black lumps and pigmentation on his belly. Jay Jay also went through some extra tests as it turns out he has a Grade 3 heart murmur. Dr Jarrad who has a special interest in ultrasound performed the ultrasound of Jay Jay’s heart and abdomen. This showed his heart was not enlarged and as he is not symptomatic yet, he does not yet require medication (though will likely do in future). His abdomen and X-rays of lungs were thankfully clear. Jay Jay was given the okay to have surgery to be neutered and remove the masses, which came back as benign neoplasias caused by too much sun exposure. His ears needed some dork but have improved drastically and his cost is looking amazing. Thanks to all the TLC he has received from his dedicated foster family Jay Jay recovered from surgery with ease and is now ready to find himself a forever family. 💙💚

Thank you to both dedicated foster families for multiple vet appointments and surgeries, and the teams at Yangebup Beeliar Vets and Swan Vets for taking care of our senior babes.

Short or long term accomodation sought.🏘️

This is Lola. Her young mum and herself are homeless. All the refuges are full.

They have been living on the streets for some time and want to get off it as they are scared. They are hoping to find a quiet granny flat to rent south of the river in Perth to get out of the rain.

Lola is a senior girl of 10 years old and she is desexed. She gets along with other animals. She is very well behaved and friendly with people.

They are a quiet gentle pair who keep to themselves and are grateful for any assistance. They are also needing a swag if anyone has one to spare to keep them off thr ground.

Please contact us at [email protected] if you can help. 🙏

Sharing rescue dogs in urgent need and offering to foster does save lives 🍀 …it also finds them forever homes! 🏠💛

Eddie has been happily settling into care with his wonderful carers who have been spoiling him. We are also happy to report he has found himself the perfect forever family!

His new family fell in love with amazing pawsonality and good manners! Eddie is off to his new home this weekend. 🎉

Eddie is an exceptional boy, who is a sensitive soul and has been incredibly easy to train from the day we saved him from the pound.

Like all dogs, he deserves only understanding, patience kindness and love. Boundaries and training doesn’t need to include physical discomfort or pain and it saddened us that a shock collar was used on him after he was previously adopted. It’s not the dogs that are the problem, it’s human unrealistic expectations of them.

Rescue dogs especially need time and reasonable goals set for them.

All the best Eddie. You are the goodest boy. We know your new family will adore you as much as we all do! 🤍🧡🩵
