Playpen Donations Needed!

We’re in urgent need of donated puppy playpens — like the one pictured here!

Our clever little pups have figured out how to climb out of the usual style pens, which puts them at risk of injury. These playpens are just what we need to keep them safe and happy while they grow and play.

We’re not picky about the condition. If you’ve got one collecting dust in the garage, we’d love to give it a second life!

Please message us to discuss collection or drop off. Thank you for supporting our rescue during this busy time!

We want to extend our sincere thanks and heartfelt condolences to the many members of our community who watched over Marley. Those who showed him kindness, gave him space, and respected his way of life. Your care made all the difference.

Marley will be deeply missed but never forgotten. His spirit will always linger in the place he called home.

It is with great sadness that we advise of the passing of Marley on Sunday 8 June 2025.

Marley was born in the Pilbra in April 2010. He was found beside his dead mother, along side a mining road. He was rescued by a mine worker who took him home to his family farm in Harvey. There Marley was raised with the young family. Like many domesticated dingos, he got up to some mischief, but was truly loved.

Marley moved to the boat yard at Casuarina in 2013 where he lived aboard an old boat. There Marley roamed the old land back harbour area. He got to know the people who worked in the area. As word spread about ‘the dingo at the harbour’, many locals (and some visitors) would regularly visit Marley and leave food for him. When the time came that Marley’s master had to move his boat from the harbour, Marley was taken away too. However, Marley would not settle and was brought back to the harbour, to his territory.

He was a regular at Marine Rescue Bunbury where we looked out for him. We even named our latest rescue vessel after him – Dingo Marley.

People’s love for Marley was evident by what was done for him. He had several ‘dens’ at the harbour, where he could bed down out of the weather. There was a feeding station set up for him behind the big ilmenite shed. Fresh water was left out for him there and at other places around the harbour. Some brought their own dogs to the harbour to play with Marley. He loved the company of his regular play mates. If anyone was concerned for Marley’s welfare, we were often the first point of contact and would ensure necessary action was taken.

We have arranged for Marley’s body to be cremated.

To all that loved him, he was our Red Dog.

Marley 2010 – 2025 May you rest in peace.

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.
