Desperate for Love Dog Pound Rescue

Desperate for Love Dog Pound Rescue We are a volunteer run, NFP dog rescue based in Perth WA. As our dogs are usually rescued from pounds, we are often unaware of their age, breed and background.

At Desperate for Love Dog Pound Rescue (DFL) we aim to find rescue dogs their permanent homes with families who will commit to loving them for the rest of their days! The dogs in our care live temporarily with foster families in Perth Metro while we prepare them for adoption; completing their vaccinations, microchipping, desexing & other medical care, and getting to know their personalities and ne

eds. We don’t have a central location as our foster carers are based all over Perth, so you are welcome to view our dogs online at: www.savour-life.com.au/adopt-a-dog/rescue-groups/7422/ and contact us by email if you would like to apply for & meet one of our dogs. Please be aware that each dog may have many applications for their adoption and our goal is to select the home best matched to the needs of the individual dog. Only one applicant can be chosen, & while we do our best to notify unsuccessful applicants or suggest a more suitably matched dog, we appreciate your patience and understanding. While we do try to list an approximate age & breed, there are no guarantees when it comes to rescue dogs. When you adopt a DFL dog, their adoption fee goes towards paying for their vet work along with helping other dogs in need! We also rescue dogs that are very old or ill and care for them under our rescue for whatever time they have left – these are our 'Forever Fosters'.

Those eyes have a story to tell… and a heart just waiting to belong 💔➡️❤️

Zala is the kind of dog who loves quietly but deeply. She may take a little time to feel safe, but once she does, she’ll choose you as her person and love you with everything she has. The reward? Endless snuggles, gentle companionship, goofy grins, and those beautiful zoomies that remind you she’s finally happy.

She’s a calm, well-mannered girl who loves being close - keeping you company on the couch, while you work, or during a cosy night in. Zala doesn’t ask for much… just patience, kindness, and a home where she can feel secure and understood.

If you have room in your heart for a dog who will love you back a hundred times over, Zala is ready for her forever. 🐾
Please contact DFL today to apply & sharing her post could help her find the home she’s been waiting for. 💗

🎄 All Bowie wants for Christmas is a home 🎄

This handsome 7-year-old Staffy cross is hoping this Christmas doesn’t pass him by in kennels. Bowie doesn’t need much - just a calm, loving space and someone to call his person.

Bowie is incredibly loyal to the people he knows and trusts. He may need gentle, slow introductions with new friends, but once you’re in his circle, you’re in for life. He loves pats, closeness, and being by your side.

✨ House-perfect & well mannered
✔️ Toilet trained
✔️ Sleeps through the night
✔️ Happy while you’re at work
✔️ Walks beautifully on lead

🧠 Smart boy alert!
Bowie already knows sit, stay, down, paw, eat and waits patiently for his food. He thrives on enrichment, learning new tricks, and anything involving treats.

🎁 Favourite things:
• Playing in the hose water
• Tug-of-war
• His beloved Kong (which he will proudly present to you at every opportunity)

Bowie would love a quiet, adult-only home where he can be your one and only—no other pets, no chaos, just companionship and love.

If you can open your heart (and home) this Christmas, Bowie is available for foster or foster with a view to adopt. Let’s give him the Christmas miracle he truly deserves. ❤️

🎄 Santa, please stop here… Timmy’s Christmas wish is a home of his own 🎄

With his golden coat glowing in the sunshine and his big happy smile, Timmy is ready to trade kennel life for a forever home this festive season. He’s a sweet, gentle boy who knows how to sit on cue, takes treats politely, and enjoys calm, peaceful walks - the perfect companion for cosy evenings and quiet mornings.

Timmy forms a very special bond with women and would love a female-only home where he can feel safe, settled, and truly adored. His loyal, watchful nature means he’ll always be close by, ready to protect his person and share every moment by your side.

Timmy is happiest being your one and only dog and would suit a home without young children. In return, you’ll gain a devoted best friend with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wagging.

🎁 All Timmy wants for Christmas is you 🎁
With a reduced adoption fee, now is the perfect time to give this beautiful boy the fresh start he deserves.

If you have room in your heart and home, please contact DFL today to apply - let’s make sure Timmy’s next Christmas is spent exactly where he belongs: home 🏡✨

🖤 Big dog puppy = best decision ever 🖤

Meet Brie - a 2-month-old Great Dane x Doberman who may be little now, but she’s growing into something truly special. Big-breed puppies like Brie don’t just grow in size… they grow into exceptional companions.

Known for their loyalty, intelligence, and gentle hearts, Dane x Doberman mixes become devoted family dogs who love deeply and stay close. They’re the kind of dogs who lean on you, follow you from room to room, and think they’re lap dogs long after they outgrow your lap.

Brie is at the perfect age to learn, bond, and grow with her forever family - learning your routines, your rules, and becoming your dog for life.

If you’re ready for a loyal shadow, a gentle giant in the making, and a best friend who will fill your home (and your heart), Brie is waiting 🤍

✨Your Couch-Side Bestie - Brandi🐾💛

Looking for a calm, sweet soul to share the quiet moments? Brandi is a gentle girl ready for her loving retirement home 🛋️💤. Fully toilet trained, well-mannered, and happiest curled up beside her humans, she’s the definition of easy companionship.

She’s great with older kids, happy to nap with her soft toys while you’re out 🧸, and enjoys a leisurely daily walk to sniff the neighbourhood. Belly rubs? Absolute favourite — she’ll roll right over for them 😄

Brandi can be a little cautious with sudden surprises and is still gaining confidence around new people and dogs, but with patience and kindness, she continues to blossom 🌸. Perfect for a calm home that loves the quieter things in life — retirees or gentle families will adore her.

✨ Available for foster or foster with view to adopt 📩 Contact DFL today to meet Brandi

🌾🐾 The Adventures of Kodah 🐾🌾

Once a farm boy, now ready for his next big chapter—Kodah is a gorgeous Kelpie cross with brains, energy, and a heart of gold. True to his breed, he loves to run, play, and be right in the middle of the action (seriously… right in the middle 😄).

Kodah is great with kids, loves park trips, walks, and games, and will happily keep up with an active family. He’s very people-oriented and forms strong bonds, so he’s happiest when he’s got company and a job to do.

On lead he can be a little excitable (life is exciting, okay? 🐕💨), so continued training will help him shine. Kodah is best suited to an active, dog-only home that understands working breeds.

💙 Loyal. Playful. Devoted.✨ Available for foster or foster with view to adopt

🎄✨ They’re Doing It Again! ✨🎄

We want to give a huge shout-out and thank you to the incredible Lee and Sandra, who are once again spreading Christmas cheer in the most generous way.

Their stunning Christmas light display is back at 102 Riverside Lane in Seville Grove, bringing joy to everyone who visits. Even better, they’re again using their festive setup to collect donations for our furry friends in need. 🐾💖

This is such a beautiful example of true Christmas spirit and community kindness. If you’re heading out to enjoy the lights, don’t forget to take a moment to support this wonderful cause as well. 🎅✨

Simba’s story is one of quiet strength, loyalty, and a heart that just wants to belong. This handsome Shar Pei x Kelpie boy loves his people deeply and shines brightest in a calm, understanding home where he can feel safe and secure.

He enjoys having a yard to stretch his legs, sniff the breeze, and then happily settle in to relax nearby—preferably keeping an eye on his favourite humans 👀💙. Simba isn’t the life of the party, but he is the devoted best friend who sticks by your side.

Because of past experiences, Simba can be a little unsure around other dogs and can be strong on lead (he’s got muscles and opinions 💪😄). He’ll do best with someone confident and patient, or willing to work with a trainer to help him rebuild trust and positive associations.

With love, consistency, and gentle guidance, Simba has so much potential—and even more loyalty to give. He’s the kind of dog who bonds deeply and stays forever.

✨ Available for foster or foster with view to adopt🏡 Could you be the safe chapter Simba’s been waiting for?
