🐾🎉 Happy International Dog Day! 🎉🐾
Today we celebrate our furry best friends who bring endless joy, love, and tail wags into our lives. But let’s not forget about the incredible pups still waiting for their forever homes!
This International Dog Day, let’s give a special shoutout to all the rescue dogs and the heroes who foster them. Whether you’re thinking of adopting or fostering, there’s a pup out there who needs your love and a second chance.
Here’s how you can make a difference today:
1. Consider Fostering: It’s like a trial run for adopting, and it saves lives!
2. Explore Adoption: If you’re ready to open your home and heart, adopting a dog from a shelter or rescue is a powerful way to change a life. Every dog deserves a loving family!
3. Volunteer or Donate: Help support the amazing organizations that work tirelessly to rescue and care for dogs in need.
Share your favorite rescue stories or photos of your adopted pups in the comments! Let’s spread the word and celebrate the joy of giving these incredible dogs the love they deserve.

This is Sunny tonight! 🥰❤️💖💖

We're beyond grateful to announce that Sunny is now safe and warm thanks to a wonderful temporary foster family. With the weather turning cold and windy, we are so pleased to see him out of the kennels!

Sunny will be enjoying some much-needed love in temporary care for the next week while we work hard to find his forever home. Thank you to everyone who offered help and a special shoutout to his foster family for stepping up in this crucial moment.

Stay tuned for updates on Sunny's journey. If you're interested in adopting, please get in touch—let's give this beautiful boy the forever family he deserves! ❤️

UPDATED: with thanks to our followers here, between the offers to temporarily foster him and the shares of this post, we managed to find Sunny a temporary space for a week, and are looking at longer term options for him .

💔 Urgent Foster Appeal: Help Us Save Sunny 💔

Sunny has been waiting in kennels for months and our hearts are breaking. We cannot understand why this affectionate, people-loving dog has not found a foster or forever home. Sunny is the definition of a cuddle bug, always eager to show love to those around him, yet he's been overlooked time and time again.

We're simply bewildered, saddened, and at a loss as to why this lovely boy is still in kennels. Sadly, Sunny's spirit is deteriorating rapidly in this environment, and we're desperate to find him a caring foster home where he can feel safe and loved.

Fostering Sunny is completely free—all supplies are provided.

Sunny may thrive in a home with a female dog of similar size but he’s not suited to living with cats or other animals. He also isn't the best fit for a household with young children.

While he stays in kennels, we’re unable to help other dogs in need.

Please, if you can open your heart to Sunny, even just for a week, it would mean the world to him—and to us. In return, he'll shower you with the biggest, warmest cuddles you can imagine.

Sunny's future depends on finding a foster home soon. Can you be his hero?

7 year old Sassy is looking for a home where she can be the only dog. She thrives in an environment where she can be the center of attention and get all the love she deserves. She would do best with a family that enjoys regular walks and outdoor activities but also loves spending quiet time together indoors.

With her lively personality and affectionate nature, Sassy is sure to bring a lot of joy and love to the right family.

If you are looking to adopt a mature, German Shepherd into your life, contact us to discuss, fostering her with option to adopt .

Who Remembers Barbie?

When Barbie came into our care at just 8 weeks old, she was in terrible condition and it was heartbreaking to see such a tiny puppy suffering. But look at her now!!

Barbie is now 6 months old and has made an incredible recovery. While she may have some lifelong skin issues, they don’t seem to slow her down one bit! This playful girl is full of energy, love, and a zest for life and she is ready to find her forever people.

If you've followed her journey, you know just how far she’s come. Let’s celebrate Barbie’s resilience and her bright future ahead and share this post so her forever family can find her.

UPDATE**. Dog Refuge Home have miraculously opened up a space for this boy. They have vet care on standby. A wonderful outcome and evidence on how animal rescues working together, can save a life! We are so grateful to them for stepping in and helping. 💕

❤ ************* ❤ *************** ❤

Another pound dog that needs your help. He is in desperate need of medical attention . Please help us to save this boy from being put to sleep.

He is approximately 4 yrs old, he is a larger breed dog and is sterilised.

This boy lived with another large male dog though is not assessed with others off his property. He is not suited to sharing a home with cats or livestock.

If you can help by fostering, we will provide all the food and vet care. Fostering a dog in this condition is a long term commitment and we anticipate he will be in foster care for up to 3 months. Please email us at [email protected] if you can open your home to help.

Please DO NOT phone us. Email or message only. We are volunteers.

My name is Banksy I've been with BARRC for a little while now and I have been couch surfing at a few places since arriving. I overheard this is because they are juggling dogs so they can squeeze in a few more in, glad I am not involved in that little project! I am now on a place called a farm with lots of space, and lots of dogs, cats and other animals. I am the smallest dog here but can still play nicely with the big boys and girls. I am still learning the rules like not to chase the feathered ones, but I am so eager to please that I try really really hard not to chase them and can now walk straight passes without even looking at them! They do have these very very dangerous exploding dog beds and it's a miracle that i haven't been hurt! They only seem to explode when the people leave me here alone. I hope that this will soon settle as I do get a little anxious when I am left home alone. Now talking of home, I really do need to find my home, I want someone to love SO VERY badly, and I just know once I find my people, and they love me I will be the bestest dog in the whole wide world!

**UPDATED** thank you for the wonderful offers everyone. We are in contact with the shire pound that this dog is currently in and a family member/friend of the dog’s owner has stepped up to say they will take him. A great outcome for this little guy.

This lovely 9 yr old Jack Russell x male has found himself alone and scared in the pound. His owner sadly is no longer with us and he desperately needs a new home. Can you help?

Fostering is free. BARRC provide everything you need from food to bedding to the toys he loves to play with.

He is not tested with other dogs though we do feel he will be fine with a same size female dog. He has not met children or cats. Please, if you can open your home to him, we would love to hear from you TODAY! He needs your help now.

UPDATED: Thankyou everyone. Spirit has found a foster home and the best news is, they are super keen to adopt her if she settles in well with their animals and lifestyle. 🌻

Can you help Spirit?

Spirit is a 5 month old female Red Cloud Kelpie x
She appears to have a hearing issue which is being reviewed by the vet. Though she can hear certain sounds, there may be reduced hearing.

Spirit is dog friendly and very playful. She has not yet been assessed with livestock.

If you can offer her a temporary or forever home, we would love to hear from you. She is hating being in kennels. Please message our page or email us at [email protected]

Where to find our available to adopt dogs?

We have 39 dogs in care. 9 are now assessed, health cleared and ready to adopt. We always have several large breeds in need of foster homes that are not ready to list for adoption just yet. If you are interested in temporary care of a large breed dog, please message our page for further information. You can help save a life today.

BARRC dogs are part of our extended family, we ensure they are sterilised and microchipped. Our aim is to match the dog to the owner and our adoption service includes post-adoption support and care to ensure success.

UPDATED: Chief is now in foster care and is settling In beautifully.

This morning's notes on Chief, from one of our volunteers. ***(Chief is looking for a foster carer to get him out of the kennels)

Another sunny morning at the kennels ☀️🐾🐶☀️ with our 🏅champions Chief, Sunny and Selkie.

Chief, our newest member is clearly the best toilet trained dog I have ever met. His kennel was immaculate. Even his bed was still all nicely tucked in. I swear he made his bed before we got there 😆
Gold medal 🏅 for Chief for his kennel manners.

He was the first one to get in the run. As he was clearly holding it all in and sure enough big wee and poo in the run.

Then off to a walk with Ed. Ed said he was nice and easy to walk. Very gentle.

All dogs got some poached chicken and a kong.

Chief cried when we left 😩

About Us

BARRC is a not for profit Animal Welfare organisation operating in Bunbury WA. The organisation operates solely on a voluntary basis and does not have paid employees nor does it receive any government funded grants. BARRC was established in March 2019 after a small group of individuals discovered a much needed requirement for more animal welfare organisation assistance in the South West of WA. We began as a group of individuals committed to rescuing and rehoming animals. Although we are a new organisation, at the time of commencement, our committee had a combined experience in animal welfare of over 22 years. The committee and management of BARRC is based in Bunbury, rescuing animals throughout the Bunbury region. This local community structure allows us to be flexible to meet the needs of the community and react accordingly.

BARRC focus on educating and engaging with the community to understand responsible pet ownership and how to embed it in their homes. We seek to have a positive impact to reduce animal homelessness whilst rescuing and rehoming those animals impacted in the meantime. We work collaboratively with other animal rescue organisations and have chosen a more compassionate way of looking at situations where people need to rehome or surrender their pets and understand that circumstances can change, placing families in desperate situations and in need of assistance. We understand how painful it must be for people forced to give up their beloved pet when they are left with no other choice. All our dogs are placed in suitable foster homes until the perfect home is found. Dogs in foster care are more likely to adjust to normal family life, as well as having the opportunity to socialise and provision of some basic training, such as house training and on lead manners. Foster homes not only save lives, they also make many animals more likely to be re-homed successfully. We believe that all companion animals deserve a safe and loving home. We strive to accomplish this through our work in rehoming, desexing and education programs. As part of our ‘Getting to Zero’ philosophy we are committed to achieving zero euthanasia of healthy, treatable and rehomable animals.
