When there are multiple dogs playing together it’s always very important to what for signs of discomfort and change in the dog and step in when needed.

Anyone able to become a foster carer please reach out.

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."

Did you know socialization isn’t just about making new doggy friends? It’s about building confidence, reducing anxiety, and helping your pup learn how to navigate the big wide world with ease! 🌎✨

Whether it’s meeting new people, exploring different environments, or playing with other dogs, socialization teaches your pup how to be calm, friendly, and adaptable. 💛

Plus… it’s FUN! 🥳
Zoomies, tail wags, and playful barks—dogs LOVE engaging with others when it’s done safely and positively. It’s not just training—it’s a paw-ty! 🎉🐕

Start early, go slow, and make it positive. Social dogs = happy dogs! 🐾❤️

UPDATE: Pearl is now in foster care. For those who have submitted applications to foster, we really value your support and have plenty of other dogs also needing care homes. We will be in touch with each of you :)

Pearl is desperately searching for love and safety. Pearl is incredibly loyal, so much so that if you leave her behind, she’ll do everything she can to come find you. Her search for connection makes her a skilled escape artist, which means she needs a secure home with someone around often.

After raising a litter of 8 pups, this sweet young girl is ready to find her own space.

🐾 Gets on well with most friendly, playful dogs
🐾 Needs a secure yard and daily routine
🐾 Cannot stay in kennels. She becomes extremely distressed and has hurt herself trying to escape

Pearl just needs a safe space, some cuddles, a walk a day and patience.

Fostering is completely free – we supply all food, bedding and vet care.

Please, we are begging. If you can help Pearl, even short term, reach out right now. She’s at a breaking point and we don’t want her to give up hope.

“In the quiet corners of our days, dogs wander in with gentle souls, leaving behind not just footprints in the sand—but echoes in the heart that time can never erase.”

To all who have lost their furry friends recently. We will always remember the light they brought to our lives.

Oscar’s first pack walk.
Oscar has been doing outings with his owners for the last few months since he’s been allowed out. But now is going to start doing slow integrative pack walks coming once a week to start off with to build his endurance and get him more social with other dogs.
I like to start puppies off just one day a week in quiet groups to allow them to explore at their own pace and build confidence with dogs, their surrounds and being able to listen to commands. He’s doing so well.

He’s had the best day. 🐶

They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
