You might have noticed…
🔎 Dingoes don’t all just share the same basic colours and hues. Dingoes have a number of naturally occurring colour variations that can be found throughout Australia. The ginger variation is the most common and can be found throughout the mainland. Dingoes with a sandy yellow coat are typically found along the coast, while sable and black variations are often found in heavily forested areas and account for 8% of the natural population. White and cream dingoes are typically found in alpine regions and account for 4% of the natural population.

As you might be able to see here, our biggest boy Strength is actually the yellow coastal variety. Besides his brother Courage, the other dingoes at Dingo Den Animal Rescue are all of different colours. Which colour stands out the most to you?

💛Rusty💛

Hello, my name is Rusty, and I am searching for my perfect family.

I'm looking for a home where I can be part of the action. I love several activities that I can do with my favourite humans, such as long walks, command training, playtime and cuddling. I can be a little shy meeting new people, but once we are friends, I will greet you eagerly and, when the mood strikes, play bow and ask you for a game of chase.

I also love hanging out and playing with my canine friends, so a home with a canine companion would be preferred. I would also do best in a home with pet-savvy children over ten years of age.

If you think I might be the perfect companion for you, visit https://www.dingoden.net/adopt.html and fill in an application.
Meet and greet can be arranged on application

✨Meet the beautiful Adina! 💛
Born wild in the bush on the 15th of June, 2017, Adina is a shy yet deeply soulful girl looking for her very own family. She’s an inquisitive spirit who takes her time to trust, but once she does, the love she gives is pure, loyal, and unconditional.
Adina adores the company of other canines and would truly thrive in a home with another dog by her side. She loves to play, wrestle, share kisses, and snuggle up close with her pack. Her joy really shines when she’s surrounded by her kind.
She’s best suited to a calm, patient home that can embrace her wild heart and give her the space she needs to feel safe. Adina often watches quietly from the sidelines, but when she feels ready, she’ll come forward with the sweetest hello.
🐾Adina is the true definition of a wild heart. She’s gentle, curious, and full of love waiting to bloom.
💌 If you think you could be the one to show her what family feels like, head over to the link in our bio to learn more about Adina and submit an adoption application.
A meet and greet can be arranged once an application is received.

Everyone, meet Snow – our striking white dingo and the undisputed leader of our sanctuary pack.

Snow has many talents:
🐾 He’s the first to greet you at the gate with his trademark charm.
🐾 He’s a big softie who adores playing with his beloved teddy bear.
🐾 He “helps” with sanctuary work (though he may be more supervisor than staff!).
🐾 He LOVES his walks and proudly leads the way.
🐾 On hot days, you’ll find him splashing around in the dam.
🐾 And his absolute favourite? When his volunteer friends arrive with cuddles and pats – it’s the highlight of his day. 💙

Snow might be the pack leader, but he’s also a cuddler, a charmer, and a reminder that leadership can be kind, playful, and full of heart.

We feel so lucky to have him watching over the sanctuary – and making sure no visitor leaves without a smile. ✨

🦊 Meet Strength — the gentle goofball with a heart of gold 💛
DOB: May 2019 | Gender: Male | Microchip: 900079000552705

Strength lives up to his name in the quietest, most endearing way. While he may be shy at first, this handsome boy blossoms into a playful, affectionate companion once he learns to trust you. He loves pats, cuddles, kisses—and if you’re lucky, he’ll even invite you to a game of tag with his signature dingo chortle! 🐾

Strength thrives in a calm and quiet environment, ideally with a confident canine friend to help him feel secure. He adores other dogs and relies on their presence for comfort and confidence. Once he’s had his fill of playtime and affection, you’ll likely find him stretched out in the sun next to his furry mate.

This special boy is looking for a patient and understanding human who can help him build confidence and navigate the big, sometimes scary, outside world. With love and time, Strength will reward you with endless loyalty, laughter, and love.

🐕 Think you could be Strength’s forever person?

🐾 Wagging Tails and Happy Homes 🐾

An update from Mitch!
I know you all remember Coal, the dingo who came to me for foster care. The new surroundings were very strange and he had to learn to trust his new home. At first, he kept his distance… but with time, patience, and belly rubs, he found his way to my heart. 💛

Now every day he greets me with a howl and his signature wiggle dance. I told myself this wouldn’t be a foster fail — but let’s be real, Coal made sure of it. 🐕‍🦺

Life’s better with him by my side, and I couldn’t imagine it any other way. So Coal is now part of the family and has found his forever home.

💔 Farewell to Our Beloved Ochre 💔
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved Ochre over the weekend. Despite every effort, he sadly could not be saved. Everyone here is heartbroken, which is why we haven’t been able to talk about it for a number of days.

Ochre was with us from a pup and for nine wonderful years he brought his big personality, spirit, and presence to the sanctuary. He wasn’t just a member of our pack — he was one of our core leaders, helping to “school” and guide the more than 300 dingoes who have passed through our care. He played a vital role in humanising dingoes, showing their intelligence, adaptability, and heart, while being a father figure to countless pups.

Ochre was also an advocate for his kind. Alongside Nala and Euroa, he travelled to Parliament House to represent and speak for native wildlife, embodying the wild-hearted spirit of his species and helping us show the world why dingoes must be protected.

We are deeply grateful to Matt and the incredible team at Penrith Vet, who went above and beyond in their care for him — even outside of hours and throughout the night. Your dedication, compassion, and support meant the world to us and to Ochre.

We also want to sincerely thank everyone who has donated so far. Together, you’ve helped us raise $2,245 of our $5,000 goal. Ochre’s final vet bill came to $4,300, and we expect cremation costs of around $500. With your continued support, we hope to raise the remaining funds to cover these expenses and honour him properly. His original fundraising campaign that you can donate to help us cover his bill is here (we will update his story on there asap): dingo-den-animal-rescue-help-save-ochre.raiselysite.com/

Ochre will always be remembered for his spirit, his presence, and the way he carried the wild heart of his species with him. He will remain forever in our hearts. 🐾

💛 From the Hospital: Ochre’s Latest Update 💛
We are so grateful for the incredible support that has come in since we shared Ochre’s story. Your donations are helping to keep him in hospital and cover the urgent tests and treatments he needs.

Ochre is still very unwell. He’s pacing a little and drinking water, but he’s still not eating. His fever has risen again, and we’ve had a new and serious concern — his platelet levels are very low, which means his blood can’t clot properly. His gums are bleeding, and he’s at risk of fatal internal or external bleeding at any time if he sustains an injury.

His liver is still showing problems, and we don’t yet know the cause. The small piece of good news is that his kidney results are looking clearer. Ochre will remain in hospital for the rest of the week, under close watch.

Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared his story, and sent messages of support — you are making it possible for us to keep fighting for him. We still have a long road ahead and urgently need to reach our $5,000 goal to cover his ongoing care. Every dollar matters.

🚨 URGENT – Ochre needs us NOW 🚨
Our beautiful boy Ochre is fighting for his life. He’s battling severe inflammation in his stomach, liver, kidneys, and possibly his airways. He’s on antibiotics and under round-the-clock watch — but each day of hospital care, tests, and monitoring costs $800–$1,200.

Normal fundraising keeps our sanctuary running, but it doesn’t cover sudden, life-threatening emergencies like this. We’ve already spent over $1,000 just on initial tests, and we urgently need to raise $5,000 to keep Ochre in care and give him the best chance to survive.

Please, if you can, donate now — every single dollar matters and time is running out. 🐾💛
