The Dogs' Refuge Home in Shenton Park is embarking on a major redevelopment project that will improve conditions for its furry residents and volunteers.
Supported by a $2,287,440 Lotterywest grant, the upgrades will deliver improved facilities that address the growing demands on the home. The Cook Government is also helping to fund the upgrades through a $50,000 Animal Welfare Grant.
The redevelopment will include:
- a new puppy education and adoption centre, with birthing rooms and accessible community engagement spaces;
- an upgraded adoption meeting yard and lounge, enabling prospective owners to meet dogs in a 'home-like' environment;
- decompression kennels offering a quiet and safe environment for reactive and anxious dogs;
- heritage hub and visitors centre showcasing the organisation's history and achievements over almost 90 years; and
- agility training yard for enriching exercise and behavioural and obedience training.
