RSPCA WA

RSPCA WA We are WA’s leading animal welfare charity organisation, preventing cruelty and promoting kindness.

When animals are let down by their owners, left helpless, traumatised and alone, they rely on RSPCA WA to step in and give them a second chance at life, love and happiness. Since 1892, RSPCA WA has worked tirelessly to prevent animal cruelty. We have rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed animals of many kinds and given them a second chance. We have educated the community and lobbied the Government to

promote animal welfare and prevent cruelty. Our Mission:
Lead the improvement of animal welfare in WA through prevention and intervention programs, advocacy, and education. We do this through:
🐾 Promoting and enforcing animal welfare legislation and driving legislative change
🐾 Educating and influencing the community
🐾 Achieving organisational excellence and delivering best practice animal care. At RSPCA WA we are dedicated to improving the treatment of animals because we believe it strengthens our society, enhances our lives and contributes to a better world. We have made great strides towards our vision, but there is still a long way to go. RSPCA WA would simply not exist without individuals and organisations who share our vision. We rely on the generosity of animal lovers to contribute around $9 million each year, the majority of what it costs to carry out our animal protection work. In order to overcome the challenges of increasing demand, rising costs and a vast geographical service area, it is critical that RSPCA WA continue to grow its supporter base. Through personal donations and gifts, and corporate fundraising initiatives, as well as a calendar of events, we will work to connect with people who want to protect and save Western Australia’s most vulnerable animals.

This puppy's the last of her litter to find a home... will you choose her? ❤️

Amber is the last of her litter to find a home. At 12 weeks old, this tan and white Kelpie pup should be frolicking in a back yard of her own, not waiting in the kennel for someone to give her a chance!

Please note that as a Kelpie she requires plenty of exercise and mental enrichment to thrive. And, as a puppy, any potential adopter will need to be ready for the commitment that comes with raising a pup, such as consistent training, so she's the best girl she can be.

Amber can live with kids and another dog, pending a meet, potentially even a cat, and can live with full-time workers if given an appropriate settling in period. 🐾

We are open today from 9am-4pm - if you've fallen in love with this clever girl with lots of potential, please come in and give her the home she yearns for. You can learn more by heading to the 🔗 in the comments. 🐶🐾

We will remember them.

This ANZAC Day, we’d like to commemorate the service and sacrifice of all of the men and women who served in the war and acknowledge the many animals who served by their side, providing companionship in the darkest of times.

Lest we forget.

For today, we're retelling one of our most memorable transformations from 2020!

Some of our long-term followers may remember this story. Given the influx of all the new supporters we've gotten since 2020, we thought this is an opportune time to talk about Angel again and show you why your support, whether it's a donation or simply interacting with our socials posts and spreading the word about us, is so important. ❤️

Angel had endured so many days of loneliness, hunger, and pain. She was trapped in a cluttered, rubbish-filled yard.

A concerned member of the public made a report about animals at a property in Midland. It was over 33C that day, and Angel had no access to food, water, and shelter from the sun.

Her hips, spine, and ribs were clearly visible under her dull coat. It was clear that Angel needed urgent treatment.

Once seized and in our care, she was able to start receiving vet treatment. Our vets assessed that her body condition score was 2/9, 5/9 considered ideal, and weighed only 16.6kg when she arrived. 💔

Her transformation was slow, but steady.

It took many months of ongoing vet work and rehabilitation in foster care, but she soon fully recovered. Her original owners were charged and sentenced (🔗 in comments!), and she has since found a new loving home to call her own where she gets all the treats and love she could ask for.

Her transformation was incredible and we're so glad she got the happily-ever-after she deserved, after all the pain and neglect she endured. She is a true testament to the care our vets and shelter staff provide for all the animals just like Angel, and a testament to how your support saves the lives of animals just like Angel.

CONTEST CLOSED! See Ralph's DNA makeup in the comments. 👇

Can you guess Ralph's breed? 👀🐾

We received an adoption update today for Ralph, a beautiful boy who was rehomed just under 5 years ago! His owner did a DNA test and the results SHOCKED us!

He's a mix all right, but what exactly of? Whoever can guess his breeds (or whoever is closest to them) in the comments will receive a FREE gift bag with KONG toys (among other things).

There will be one winner per social media platform this is posted on (Facebook and Instagram).

And... go! We'll announce the winners in the comments on this post Thursday morning. Best of luck! ❤️

We're so happy for you, Fluffy! 🥹

You may remember Fluffy, a Rottweiler pup who has featured on our socials before. He did not have the best start to life and needed help from our inspectorate and shelter team when his previous owners let him down. 💔

He was given a puppy collar but as he grew, it wasn't removed and replaced with a larger one, resulting in a painful wound imbedded deep in his neck that needed urgent attention. 😔

After months of recovery and rehabilitation, Fluffy was soon as fit as a fiddle. And it didn't take long for this handsome Rotty to find the home of his dreams.

We just received an adoption update from his new owners, and we just HAD to share the cuteness with you! 🥰

"We renamed him to Giorgio. He's been with us since late January now and he's well settled.

"He gets walked twice a day, once in the morning then the evening, and gets three meals a day. It's kibble and meat for lunch, then we give him a special home-cooked dinner. He loves it!

"He has a regular group of friends he sees at the park, and I try to take him to the dog beach once a week.

"We aim to give him the best life we can." 😭❤️

We're so happy you're living the best life ever, Giorgio! We couldn't have asked for a better second chance for him. 🐾

Happy Easter! 🐰🥕🥚🍫

While many of us have spent the weekend relaxing, devouring chocolate, and enjoying time with loved ones, the animals in our care have certainly not been forgotten.

They've been spoiled with new toys, yummy pet-safe treats, and of course plenty of TLC with the staff and volunteers who have lovingly and selflessly given up their time this weekend to make sure they're well cared for.

How have you celebrated Easter with your pets? Show us in the comments. 👇

We are open today! Come and meet all of our animals available for adoption, like Beatrice the Kelpie cross. 🥰

Beatrice came to us from the pound - nobody came and claimed her, so she was brought here to us. 😔

She's adjusted well to shelter life, but we think she would be far better in a loving home with a new family to call her own, would you agree?

This two-year-old is full of energy and absolutely adores her toys and playtime (which you can clearly see in the second picture 😆). She can live with children and another dog, pending a meet, and can even live with full time workers (if given a settling in period, which is made easy thanks to the Easter long weekend... 😉).

Come down to the shelter and meet Beatrice! Today is the only day we're open all long weekend, so if you've fallen in love with her, please head to the shelter between 9am-4pm to meet her.

You can learn more about her by heading to the 🔗 in the comments. 👇

Some of this stuff may be common-sense to most, but it's always important to promote this life-saving information before Easter arrives! (Spread the word to your local groups - you may help save a life!)

While tasty for us, popular Easter treats can be toxic for our furry friends. 🍫

Chocolate, hot cross buns, and BBQ leftovers are among the five top hazards pet owners should keep well away from curious paws this long weekend.

Just 50 grams of chocolate can be enough to poison a small dog. That's the size of a standard chocolate bar!

Please be sure to keep your pets safe this Easter! 🐾

A few days ago, a Broome rescue pooch was given a one-way ticket to a better life, flying over from Broome to our Animal Care Centre in Perth! 🥰

RSPCA WA inspectors were in Broome when they were informed about a dog named Suko who got stuck under a fence and injured his leg.

It was so sore and painful that he couldn’t put any weight on it. His owners sadly couldn’t afford vet treatment, so they decided to surrender him so he could get the care he needed. ❤️‍🩹

After some time with our friends over at Broome Vet Hospital, who worked tirelessly to provide vet care for Suko, we organised for him to fly down to Perth. He’s undergoing further vet care at our Malaga animal care centre, the team already falling in love with his wonderful paw-sonality.

A massive thanks to AeroPets Animal Transport, one of our vital partners, for flying Suko down and providing comfortable transportation, and a shout out to Shire of Broome's rangers and Broome Veterinary Hospital for their hard work and assistance these past few weeks! ❤️

Keep an eye on our adoption portal (🔗 in comments!) in the coming weeks to see if he’s ready for adoption. 🥰

This adoption update makes us so happy - we hope it brings a smile to your face too! 🥰🐾

It's not every day we get an update from a pet who was adopted over a decade ago!

Everyone, meet Murphy!

Murphy first came to us as a stray puppy in 2013. Nobody claimed him, so he entered our rehoming program.

All it took was one meet with his new owners before they knew Murphy was the one. Murphy was quickly adopted and, just under 13 years on from the adoption, Murphy has had a life full of toys, treats, irreplaceable memories, and unconditional love.

"Murphy is such a character and pretty much rules the house. He loves affection and being around people. He will just plonk on your lap, expecting a pat and cuddles.

"He loves going for a drive - you mention the word car and he goes crazy!

"He hides his treats around the house and barks until you find them. He has lots of toys but his favourite is a plastic squeaky little boot. He brings it to bed every night.

"We celebrate his birthday every year with a BBQ and have friends over. I always make him a cake of some sort (a dog friendly one, of course)!

"We love him to bits and couldn't imagine a life without him. He makes us laugh everyday! ❤️"

🥹🥹 We're in tears - happy ones.

We're so happy that Murphy got the second chance all shelter dogs dream of. From a sad, abandoned puppy, to years of love and laughter, Murphy truly found his forever home. ❤️

UPDATE: Timmy and Turner have been adopted! 🩵🐀

Looking for roommates who won’t steal your clothes but might steal your heart (and your blueberries)? Say hello to Timmy and Turner – two dashing, dapper rats on the hunt for a forever home! 💕

These bonded brothers are like the dynamic duo of the rat world – think Sherlock & Watson, if Sherlock had whiskers and Watson liked to hoard sunflower seeds. 🕵️‍♂️🌻

Turner is the chill one – the type who’d bring you a snack and ask how your day was. Timmy? He’s the life of the party, curious about everything, and possibly training to be a professional tightrope walker. Together? Unstoppable.

🐭 Perks of adopting Timmy and Turner:
✔️ Built-in bromance (they come as a pair!)
✔️ Tiny noses, BIG personalities
✔️ Will 100% improve your daily mood with their antics
✔️ Require minimal space and MAXIMUM love

They’re social, clean, and waaay smarter than you think (they might already be plotting how to win you over).

Head to the 🔗 in our bio to check out their adoption profile!

This boy may not be a 10,000-year-old de-extinct dire wolf... but he's a very close second option! 😍

As you can see from his stunning features that he's pretty similar, don't you think? ‍🙂‍↕️

Kk is a 10-year-old Siberian Husky. He's grey and white and is such a gentle soul. He can live with children and another calm dog, pending a meet, as well as full time workers!

He’s a special term adoption as he’s still recovering from some vet surgery – our adoptions staff will fill you in on the details when you come in and meet him. 🐾

Bird foster carers urgently needed! 🕊️🐦

We're hoping that this post reaches the right people and helps us find foster homes for several seized birds who are struggling in the shelter environment. If you can't foster, please help us spread the word. 💔

This we are urgently asking for your help as we have an array of birds who require long-term foster care (a few months, at least). We can't show you their faces, disclose their names, or tell you how they came into our care because they are part of an active investigation.

What we can stay is that for people experienced in caring for budgies, cockatiels, and canaries, this will be such a rewarding experience and we will be so grateful.

These birds haven't had the best life and hence are very undersocialised. We think that given the chance and some time and patience in a warm, loving, homely aviary environment, they will begin to thrive.

Any potential foster carers will need to have their own indoor aviary - this is so the birds can get used to and interact with humans, giving them plenty of enrichment and mental stimulation.

To sign up, please head to the foster care application 🔗 in the comments. When our team reaches out, tell them you're wanting to foster seized birds in need. ❤️

Disclaimer: photos used in this post are of stock image birds, as the actual birds who require foster care are in protective custody.

We really thought Ebony would have been snapped up... but she's sadly not had any interest. Will you give her a chance? 🥺

Ebony is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL black German Shepherd and we just don't get why she hasn't found a home yet. She can live with older children, full time workers and even another male dog (pending a meet). She bonds closely to those she loves and boy does she have a lot of love to give! ❤️

She would be best suited to go to a home where her owners have a lot of experience with German Shepherds.

If you'd love to meet Ebony, please come in and meet her with our behaviour team Tues-Fri, 9am to 4pm. ❤️ You can learn more about her by heading to the 🔗 in the comments. 👇

BABY BUNNIES! 🥹 that is all.

Six two-week-old baby bunnies are in our care at the moment being well looked after by mumma rabbit Willow. Named after things associated with water, baby buns River, Pebble, Wadle, Marsh, Cove, and Clam have been loving life at the shelter.

They're far too young to be rehomed yet, but we couldn't help but share some of these sweet photos with everyone. They're so small, we love them so much. 🥹

Keep an eye on our adoption portal in the coming weeks if you're interested in adopting them. ❤️

Barry the tripod dog has come such a long way since his adoption in 2022!

You may remember this beautiful American Bulldog we posted a few years ago. He came in with a badly injured leg which sadly could not be saved. 💔

He adjusted very well to life on three paws and was quickly adopted. We've just a received an update from his new owners many years since his adoption and we can't believe how big and happy he looks! 😍🥰

"My partner's son adopted Barry who is now 2.5 years old. When we adopted him, he was only around 9 weeks old!

"He is a human, this boy. Exactly like a toddler, way too clever for his own good. 😂

"He is the most loving boy ever. He regularly goes to play school and has many regular dog mates. He is so well socialised and is amazing with anyone and everyone.

"On long walks, we take him out on his trolly. He also has an Instagram page (🔗 in comments!)"

We're all so happy for you, Barry! We wish you a long, beautiful life surrounded by people you love. 🥰❤️

Nothing makes our hearts break more than seeing a lone puppy in a kennel. Will you take him home? 😔

The last of his litter to find a home, Seeley Booth the staffy pup has wondered why his room feels so lonely. You can see from the pictures how sad he is. Gone are the days of him playing with his many siblings - he's now waiting patiently for someone to say "I Choose You" all by himself. 😭

He's only 8 weeks old. He should be bounding about in a home he calls his own, or snoozing the days away on the couch, or chewing on a tasty treat. Not waiting in a kennel, hoping, begging for someone to give him a chance.

Will you give him a chance?

You can meet him and the many other animals looking for a home by heading to the 🔗 in the comments. Our gates open at 9am today - please, take Seely Booth home. Give him the warmth and comfort a kennel environment can't give him. Give him YOU. 🐶❤️🐾
