These beautiful boys, Rusty and Cruiser kept us entertained on our recent house sit. Two very intelligent and loving furbabies. They were a delight to look after and once again reinforced why we need pets in our life. So fortunate. ♥️🥰♥️🥰♥️🥰♥️🥰♥️🥰

Though we'd share this lovely lady, Peppa. We recently did a house visit which included a walk. She doesn't take life too seriously and will smother you with love. Such a lovely staffie. 💕🥰

A South West dog rescue says it needs help to cope with an influx of animals following a surge in surrenders.

Bunbury Animal Rescue Rehome Care Inc (BARRC) says it is struggling to find enough foster carers.

The specific requirements to foster can be limiting, making it hard to find enough homes to take the dogs in.

BARRC has rescued more than 700 dogs since 2020.

BARRC volunteer Lynda Armstrong says the situation is getting worse, with rising numbers of surrendered dogs and unwanted litters pushing the group to breaking point.

She attributes the rise in surrendered dogs to the rising cost of living and housing shortages.

"The crisis is really that we're saying no all the time at the moment, or nearly all the time. And that for us is not why a rescue is established. We need homes to put these dogs into, and we need a variety of different homes and a variety of different carers."

“If sterilisation of dogs was subsidised on a larger basis for people who can’t afford to have their dog sterilised, it would mean less puppies, less unwanted dogs being abandoned at the pound when they get to be too much trouble at six months old.”

“It doesn’t cost anything to foster a dog, we pay for all of the food, provide all of the bedding, the dog is registered and microchips to BARRC while it’s being fostered."

An approaching cold front and low-pressure system will reach Western Australia's west coast on Monday. Showers, thunderstorms and gusty winds are forecast for the entire west coast, including Perth.

Heavy falls and damaging winds are possible about the far south-west coast. Severe Thunderstorm Warnings may be issued for these in coming days.

Showers will persist until Wednesday, and mostly clear by Thursday.

Please ensure your animals have adequate shelter away from the rain and stormy weather ☔

Dogs that feel anxious in their surroundings during a storm will try to escape and jump fences/gates that don't usually pose any issue 😞

Where possible, please bring your animals inside! 🏠
