Desperate for Love Dog Pound Rescue

Desperate for Love Dog Pound Rescue

Share

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 needs. 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'.

The uncertainty in his eyes tells you he is confused.

Matso is a gorgeous 2-year-old black and white Staffy cross who has found himself in kennels through no fault of his own. 💙

He is a happy boy with a lovely nature and appears to be dog social. He could live with another dog, pending a meet.

What Matso really needs now is a safe, loving home where he can relax, feel secure and know he is finally home. 🏡

Located in Perth, WA, Masto is hoping to move from kennels into a foster or foster view to adopt home.

Could you be the fresh start this sweet boy deserves? 🐶

All Ivy needs is someone to show her that life can be beautiful. 🥺🤍

This sweet little girl hasn’t had the easiest start to life. At an age when the world should have been nothing but safety, love and adventures, Ivy instead learned that life can sometimes be uncertain.

But somehow, she hasn’t let that dim her little light. ✨

She still greets people with a wagging tail. She still wants to play, explore and learn. She still gives her affection freely. And behind those beautiful eyes is a clever, funny, loving little puppy who is just waiting for someone to show her that she never has to worry about where she belongs again.

Ivy doesn’t need a perfect family. She just needs her family.

Someone patient enough to teach her.
Someone kind enough to reassure her.
Someone who will celebrate all her little milestones.
And someone who will look into that sweet face and say, “You’re home now, Ivy. You’re safe. We’ve got you.” 🥹

Because with love, consistency and a little guidance, we know this beautiful girl is going to blossom into the most incredible companion.

Her past may be part of her story, but it doesn’t have to define her future.

Could you be the person who gives Ivy her happily ever after? 🤍🐾

🤎 It’s Nellie’s turn to be someone’s baby 🤎

Nellie has done the hard work of raising her puppies, and now this beautiful girl is ready for a soft place to land where she gets to be the one loved, spoiled and cared for. 🥹🐾

Nellie is a gentle, affectionate soul who absolutely adores her people. She can be a little shy at first, but once she knows she’s safe, her beautiful personality shines through — and before long, you’ll have the sweetest little shadow following you everywhere. 💕

She loves cuddles, treats and being close to her humans, and she absolutely adores other dogs. She’s also a clever girl who is eager to please, fantastic on walks and has an amazing recall.

After everything Nellie has been through, what she needs most is a quiet, patient home where she can decompress, rebuild her confidence and learn that the world is a safe place. She’ll need understanding around visitors while she settles, along with a little help getting her toilet training back on track.

She could live with a calm male dog pending a meet, and she’s available to foster or foster with a view to adopt. 🏡

Nellie has spent long enough looking after everyone else. Who’s ready to look after her?

CHOPPER IS LOOKING FOR A FRESH START!

Chopper was understandably overwhelmed & stressed by the sudden change in environment when he came to the kennels, but his loveable nature has since come through! ❤️

Adorably nicknamed “Sniff Mister!” by our team, he loves to investigate the world through his nose 🐶

While he doesn’t appear to know any basic commands, Chopper is highly food motivated, making training easy for him.

He could potentially live with a female dog & would benefit from a family willing to invest time in positive reinforcement training & help him to build his confidence 🥰 In turn, Chopper will reward you with endless loyalty & love.

If you can help Chopper to start the next chapter of his life, apply to foster or foster with view to adopt below.

Meet Waffles — tiny, adorable, and absolutely convinced the world revolves around her… and honestly, we’re not going to be the ones to tell her otherwise. 😂💗

This gorgeous little girl loves attention and is more than ready to take on her biggest role yet: beloved, ridiculously spoiled family member. 🥹🏡

Waffles could live with a male dog, pending meet, although he should probably be prepared to accept his new position as supporting cast. 🤭🐶

✨ Waffles is ready for her happily-ever-after — she just needs someone to yell “ACTION!” 🎥💕
