How You Can Be a Lifesaver for Derby's Animals!

At Derby Animal Welfare Group (DAWG), we believe that a compassionate community can make all the difference in the lives of vulnerable animals. Every act of kindness, big or small, contributes to our mission of providing care, shelter, and hope to animals in need right here in Derby, Western Australia. Here's how you can join us and become a vital part of this life-saving work:

Together, We Create a Circle of Support:

It takes a village – or rather, a dedicated community – to ensure the well-being of animals who have nowhere else to turn. From the moment an animal comes into our care until they find their forever home, a network of passionate individuals and businesses works tirelessly. Your involvement is a crucial link in this chain of compassion.

Here's how you can get involved and make a difference:

Your contributions, no matter the size, directly impact the lives of animals in need. Donations help us provide:

• Essential Care: Nutritious food, clean bedding, and a safe environment.

• Veterinary Support: Crucial medical care, vaccinations, desexing, and emergency treatment.

• Comfort and Enrichment: Toys, bedding, and activities to keep animals happy and stimulated.

Every dollar brings us closer to ensuring that every animal receives the care they deserve. You can make a one-off donation or consider becoming a regular supporter to provide ongoing assistance.

Becoming a foster carer offers a temporary, loving home for animals who need a little extra care before adoption. Fostering can be incredibly rewarding and provides:

• A Comfortable Transition: A home environment helps animals adjust and de-stress.

• Individual Attention: Foster carers can provide one-on-one care and socialization.

• Valuable Insights: Fostering helps us learn more about an animal's personality and needs, aiding in finding the perfect forever home.

Opening your home temporarily can be a life-changing experience for an animal in need. See link below for more information!

Fostering and Adoptions 

The most profound way you can help is by providing a loving, permanent home to one of our deserving animals. Adoption not only gives an animal a second chance at happiness but also opens up space for us to help another in need.

By choosing to adopt, you become the final, most important piece of their journey to a happy life. See link below for more information!

Fostering and Adoptions 

You can be a powerful voice for animals by raising awareness and promoting responsible pet ownership in Derby. Advocacy can take many forms:

• Spreading the Word: Share our social media posts, talk to friends and family about our work, and help us reach more people.

• Educating Others: Promote responsible pet ownership, the importance of desexing, and the benefits of adoption.

• Supporting Our Campaigns: Lend your voice to our initiatives that promote animal welfare in the region.

By speaking up, you help create a more compassionate and informed community for animals.
