24.01.2022 THIS WEEKEND!!!!!! Snag sizzle and dog wash!!!!! Greenwood location

24.01.2022 Due to our original date being a long weekend and people potentially being away we have moved our garage sale to 4th October. We have heaps of goodies for you to purchase and we will also be running a sausage sizzle, dogs eat free!!!!! Most items will only be $5!!!!!

24.01.2022 FOSTER CARERS NEEDED It’s raining dogs again and no foster carers means we can’t bring dogs in which means dogs are at risk of being put to sleep due to having no other options. Pet free homes are mostly needed until we get to know dogs that come in but all kinds of homes are wanted.... If you want a pup but can’t commit to a dog long term fostering is a great way of getting your pupper fix!!! We cover:- Vetwork Training Food - if we have donations Toys/bedding - if we have donations All you do is provide the love http://bit.ly/dbbrfoster

23.01.2022 REHOMING YOUR DOG There are a lot of incorrect information out there about dog rescues and rehoming. We want to clarify and explain the process so if you need to ask for help you can feel confident. 1. Foster Care - We don’t own kennels, dogs go into foster care which are regular family homes. If we use kennels they are private facilities and are short term only. Foster homes are vetted and we only use homes where dogs are family members and spoilt rotten.... 2. Vetwork - we ensure your dog gets all the vetwork they need. All dogs are desexed, vaccinated and chipped as a min. If they have health issues they will be treated by one of our fabulous vets. 3. Rehoming - we have a strict rehoming process, applications are sought and reviewed. ONLY those applications deemed suitable are then visited and a home inspection conducted. Only if the criteria is met is a meet organised, if all parties agree the dog goes on trial and can be retuned at any time. 4. Surrendering - we visit all dogs to conduct an assessment prior to them coming to us. This is so we can put them into the right foster home, identify training needs, dietary requirements and vetwork. 5. Training - if required your dog will receive ongoing training whilst in foster care. We use approved balanced and positive trainers. We DO NOT....... Put dogs to sleep for no reason Keep dogs locked up Deny dogs vetwork Use cruel training methods Rehome to inappropriate homes or homes that do not meet with the dogs needs The dogs do and always will come first. If you choose to surrender to us we will do our best to assist, please understand we are a small rescue with a small team and no facilities. We can only do our best. If you need to surrender your dog please email us at [email protected]. Photo credit to some of our fabulous rehomed pups living the best lives

23.01.2022 THANK YOU!!!!!! We would like to thank Joondalup Dog Training Club for their genergous donation.

18.01.2022 Mr Big (aka Biggie) Today we write this post to honour one of rescues legends. For those who are not aware of this rescue icon, Mr Big found himself in the pound in 2013 age unknown. No one claimed him so he went to the Animal Protection Society to be rehabilitated and rehomed. Mr Big was in terrible condition and he clearly had a rough life until that point. Eric Crozier (The Dog Communicator) was working with the dogs in their care, which he does to this day, and he saw so...mething very special in the big fella and from that day on they were a team. When they were assessing pound/rescue dogs it was almost like they shared a secret language. Biggie was always patient, walked away when needed to, played when suitable, but when a puppy was present he'd be straight onto his back letting the puppy crawl all over him. He always seemed at his happiest when puppies were around. As the years progressed Biggie started to slow down and Eric knew the Big man needed to retire to a nice big couch. He had spent his life paying it forward and helping so many dogs, it was now his time. He got to do just that when he went to enjoy his retirement with Michelle who had known Biggie for years whilst working with DFL and Rockingham Pound. In Michelle's words......... "I was tasked with making sure Biggie knew what it was like to be completely spoiled rotten, sleep in till whatever time in the morning he liked. Nothing gave me greater joy than watching Biggie and Bella (Michelle's dog) get closer and closer as the days went by, until eventually, Bella was always touching him when they slept, generally with their back legs entwined. While with me, I started taking him into work where a whole new set of Biggie fans were collected. The residents and staff loved him, and he loved them as they fed him all manner of things that he shouldn't really have been eating. But sadly, as so often happens in our giant breeds, his back legs continued to let him down, until eventually, he was unable to support his weight at all. He was ready, I could see it in his eyes that he was tired" Mr Big went to Rainbow Bridge on October 23rd surrounded by love knowing that he will have a special place in our hearts. We shall miss you Big guy......... Our deepest sympathies go to Eric and Michelle at this time. If you would like to support the APS and make a donation in Big's name the details are below. https://www.givenow.com.au/animalprotectionwa

18.01.2022 SAVE THE DATE!!!!!!! Heaps of bargains and a snag sizzle...... Dogs eat free

18.01.2022 SORTED !!!! Thank you everyone ................................................... ***WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING ANYMORE APPLICATIONS***... Found wandering the streets the rangers collected him and he’s now the office mascot. He’s a wolfhound x and pretty low energy. Happy to just snuggle at your feet. Couple of short walks and he’s spent!!!! He cries to tell you he needs to go out for pee pee so generally a very good boy. Fine with other dogs and has met a cat and showed no interest, he’s only 9 months old so still a pup. Ideally would like him to go with another dog. He needs his vetwork done which we will sort out

18.01.2022 HELP US REACH OUR GOAL!!!!!! We are part of the Rescue Challenge in conjunction with #petbarn and #savourlife Please support us for the month of February to help us reach our goal ... Our store is Petbarn in Midland on Great Eastern, opposite Macca’s. However, all sales of SavourLife dog food across all stores will go towards the $$ goal.

16.01.2022 FOSTER NEEDED BEAR This boy is super gorgeous, dog social and loves people. He has just arrived and not long been desexed so he is full of beans!... He’s underweight so needs building up but would make a lovely buddy for someone. Click on the link to apply http://bit.ly/dbbrfoster

14.01.2022 The one person that is good at making us feel OK has 4 legs, a wet nose and a wagging tail!!!! If you email us, call us, deal with us please remember that we are volunteers often under significant stress. People who volunteer in rescue are never "off the clock" and we are faced with immense pressure and often have to drop everything including our own lives/families/work/hobbies to sort out yours.... Just remember to exercise a little patience when contacting us and asking for help or enquiring about a dog. You have no idea what kind of day that person is having!!! Thank you x

13.01.2022 THANK YOU FOSTER HAS NOW BEEN FOUND !!!! This beautiful boy wears his heart on his fur literally !!! We are looking for foster care for this handsome boy, unfortunately very little is known about him at the moment so we need someone who has experience with big dogs and is pet free until we can learn more about him. He is not tested with children so would not advise anyone with children under 12 applying. He is a complete love bug and is more than happy to be cuddled up with ...his humans. He will need to be taught some basic training so on going support will be given from the rescue. If you can offer this beautiful boy the home he needs please fill out the application below http://bit.ly/dbbrfoster

12.01.2022 URGENTURGENT URGENT FOSTER CARE NEEDED Meet the beautiful Luna, we think she is around 1yrs old and has like many come to us with very little background. ... Luna is an anxious girl who just wants to be around people, she needs to be in a pet free home at this point whilst we continue to work on her anxiety issues. The rescue will give you full support whilst continuing with her training, Luna is super food motivated and has made some promising progress with the training she has had so far. She just needs someone who is willing to continue what we’ve already started and to help show her that the world isn’t such a scary place. If you think you can offer Luna the love and time that she so desperately needs to continue to watch her thrive then please click on the link below and complete the application form https://docs.google.com//1FAIpQLScb_Yt7EO-vRgIl9/viewform

12.01.2022 PUPDATE......... Things have been crazy, sadly Mumma was highly stressed and could not settle. We waited as long as we could but the puppies were starting to go downhill so we made the hard decision to seperate. We do not like doing this but our priority is everyone’s welfare.... All puppies are have now bounced back with bottle feeding. But this means we now need Divetelact to keep them going. We will be using some of the funds raised to buy supplies plus kennel fees and desex mum before she’s returned to her owner. However we need lots as we have 6 weeks plus to feed them. If anyone wants to donate any feed and baby wipes then it’s appreciated. Pups are NOR. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far we are so grateful

11.01.2022 How amazing is Peta from Woof meow tweet squeak who donated all of these treats the the DBBR dogs! We asked for photos but a lot of the treats were gone before our carers could snap up photos Here’s one of our gorgeous adopted dogs (sister to foster dog Koda) who found it hard to sit still with the smell of the treats The packs consisted of dog friendly dog cookies, duck feet, trachea and venison tails for some bigger pooches.... Thank you once again Peta for always supporting us and the DBBR dogs

They are 5 years old and looking for a home committed to helping with a slight weight issue (no body shaming please!) They are fine with older kids but due to one being quite nervous a busy household with young children would be too much.... That said they are looking at living life to the fullest so 2 good walks a day are needed. They love to curl up on your lap but they need action and fun too! Please don't message the main page, only applications via the link below will be processed. ONLY applications that meet the criteria will be considered. Please don't ask us if we will separate them, we won't, they are bonded.

09.01.2022 FOSTER or ADOPT SHADOW She’s certainly a shadow of her former self, over bred and with a puss filled uterus from not being desexed this girl was very close to death. She was taken to the vets to be euthanised but the vet decided to save her instead and performed the life saving surgery to remove the pyometra.... She’s made a full recovery, she’s just a gorgeous sook and dog/kid social. She has met cats but too interested. She would love a home to see out her golden years. Easy girl to have around but by no means does she think she’s old, in her head she’s a young girl who can still turn heads! DESEX YOUR PETS!!!!!! For ref what you see should be the size of the human hand https://www.savour-life.com.au/adopt-a-d/search-now//23652

01.01.2022 HARLEY Meet Harley the beautiful 5yr old staffy x He is dog social and loves people, he will do what he can to make his humans happy. ... Harleys manners have room for improvement but he is a super smart boy who responds really well to training he loves his treats as a reward for his good behaviour. Harley loves to go for long walks as he has plenty of energy to burn he does pull when he gets excited but he has been working on this with his carer and is improving everyday. Harleys foster carer says he is a great dog and friend, he is really quick to learn what you expect from him, he loves his humans, enjoys his long walks but is also happy to chill with you and watch tv. Harley needs a home where he has company either of the human kind or a playful female dog if you work full time. He isn’t great around cats and is untested with other animals. This boy is really loyal and with someone who can continue his training and give him the unconditional love he needs he will be the perfect best friend. Could you be the family that Harley needs and offer him the perfect forever home that he deserves ??? https://www.savour-life.com.au/adopt-a-d/search-now//23410
