About us
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: https://www.petrescue.com.au/groups/10398 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.
As our dogs are usually rescued from pounds, we are often unaware of their age, breed and background. 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'.
Donations can be make directly to our donation account: Desperate for Love Dog Pound Rescue Inc

Donations over $2 are tax deductible. Please email dflinvoices@gmail.com if you would like a receipt emailed to you.

Desperate R. asked:FOSTER CARER NEEDED FOR 7 YEAR OLD KELPI X GIRL. Can you foster Mocha so she can move out of kennels. Mocha is looking for a peaceful and quiet life with a nice big yard, plenty of space to hang out. She is well behaved indoors and is a clever girl, she can sit, go to her bed and stay. As she can be wary of new people & dogs, Mocha best suits an experienced & confident dog owner without kids. She is house trained, obedient, does not bark excessively or dig, and is happy to snooze the day away. Can you help Mocha into a home? Please email dflrescue@gmail.com and request a foster form.Desperate R. replied:Gill Wood, please email dflrescue@gmail.com for a foster form. Thanks :)

Desperate R. asked:Dear DFL Members We are desperately short of foster carers. Without a doubt this last 12 months has been one of the hardest years in rescue. We need foster carers urgently. At the moment we have up to 8 dogs in pounds and 4 urgent dogs that need moving because foster carers cannot keep anymore. We depend on you to help us save dogs. Please register your interest and we will be in touch. Please help us help the dogs. They deserve a second chance. Thanks NatxDesperate R. replied:Fostering is giving a dog a home until we find him or her a forever home. Foster carers train, love and feed the dog. The rescue pays for all vetwork and we give you support. We are just a phone call away and you have this page to ask questions. The rescue finds the new home and we may ask you to housecheck. In short, you look after a dog until we find it a home. Some people foster lots of times and some people are instant foster failures and foster only once. If you want to foster please email Natalie.Plunkett@yahoo.com.au . Please let us know what size dog and what pets you have. or text Natalie 0408779023
