Perth, Western Australia Dogs' Refuge Home (WA) Inc. Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

About Us

The Dogs' Refuge Home has been saving and rehoming dogs in WA since 1935. Our on-site veterinary clinic will provide dedicated care for rescue dogs only, giving every dog the best chance at a healthy, happy life. Thanks to some very generous donors, we have recently been able to completely renovate our clinic area and purchase brand-new equipment. Aligning with our training philosophy, our clinic will use fear free methods to prioritise the emotional well-being of pets by using techniques to reduce fear, anxiety, and stress during visits, avoiding force for examinations or treatments. The clinic will service our rescue dogs and those who have been adopted returning for procedures covered by the Dogs' Home. This is not a public clinic.
