One of WA’s oldest animal welfare organisations has been giving dogs a second chance of finding a home for 90 years.

Since 1935, the Dogs’ Refuge Home in Shenton Park has helped thousands of dogs find their forever home and to celebrate the anniversary a major $2.6 million redevelopment was undertaken.

The renovation included a 90-year history showcase centre, an agility yard, decompression kennels to provide calm, a meeting area for dogs to be introduced to potential cat siblings, and a puppy centre.

Dogs’ Refuge Home general manager Robyn Slater said the puppy centre was desperately needed.

The refuge also rehomed more dogs than ever before
