Message: OMG! I have to say, its been a while since i have been on this amazing site that i LOVE but, there are far too many dogs that are in need of help!! It really makes me sad to see so many of them desperate to meet their perfect parent/s asi see the sadness in their eyes. I really want to win the lotto so i can take them ALL....... I have just started looking for a dog again and i will continue to use this excellent site. Thank you very much for all the hard work you do for each and every one of these innocent creatures!!

Message: Please add more WA listings. I check this site frequently, and there is rarely choices in Perth.

FROM SOPHIE'S CHOICE: If you're not finding many choices in Perth, that could be for a number of reasons, i.e. the pounds aren't publically advertising their dogs; or there aren't any working breed dogs impounded at the time in that pound; or the pound may be contracted to the RSPCA (therefore the RSPCA will advertise them); or the council pound doesn't directly adopt to the public. You could lobby Perth councils to advertise their impounds on the internet with a photo (those that directly adopt to the public). There are probably rescue groups in Perth that may have working breeds available (I don't list rescue group dogs on this site as they're safe fostered in a home). I list what's available to the public - if it's available to me to grab and post.

Message: Yesterday we collected our rescue dog who I found through this site and as I type this he is lying on the floor under my feet like he's been here all his life. A happy and easy going 6 year old border collie cross labrador, we feel so lucky to have him join our little family and I'd like to say thank you for the time you put into the website and also to the volunteers, especially Alex at Solar Lodge, for connecting us with our beautiful new pack mate.

Message: Each time i look on this website my eyes well up with tears at all of the 'due dates' - a cold reminder of how many dogs face being put down - its great that you do that, its a reality check. On the otherhand it absolutely warms my heart that there are people like Sophies Choice doing what they can to reduce these needless deaths. I think you are wonderful people thank you so much....

Message: Thanks for such a great website. I just wish more poeple would adopt pets from places like what is listed here and save some of these beautiful pups. I wish that i could take more dogs home, but with 2 permenant Border Collies' and 1 part time BC resident already our backyard is getting full. I will however be telling everyone about the site in the hope we can rescue these precious animals.

Message: Absolutely brilliant website. Thank you.... I wish more people could see this site before they buy a pup. If only people could look beyond the pup and be considerate and selfless enough to realise that a working dog breed, although wonderful for many who understand their needs, might not be right for them. Its devestating to consider how many wont find homes- brings tears to my eyes.... I hope people spread the word so more of these beautiful dogs get a second chance for a happy, long life. Thanks again Sophies Choice

Message: Thanks for such a fantastic website. I have now put your website link on our Club's website and I will encourage more of my friends who have websites to add it to their's as well. It breaks my heart to scroll through and to see how many dogs are surrended for different reasons. Only legislation and education will change this. Say No Animals in Pet Stores.

Message: Hey! I am fostering a dog from the Animal Welfare League that I volunteer at.
She isn't yet displayed on their site until she goes back.
She is a young Kelpie (she looks purebred but is quite small)
She has a tough start but is making so much improvement.. she is smart and beautiful, good with other dogs (once she realises they are harmless) and she is so cuddly and walks right by your side.
If anyone is interested please let me know. She will make an absolutely amazing companion!

Message: Awesome website.
As the owner of two active border collies that compete and excel in dog agility, i find it an absolute disgrace and shame that people purchase a working type dog to sit around in a backyard all day. These dogs are bred to work! They are highly intellegent and driven and are miserable if they are not made part of the family and given something to do! A sleeping lying around working dog whether that be a bc, kelpie, cattle dog, aussie sheperd, coolie, is a BORED working dog! It makes me sick in the guts when the working breeds are abandoned because of the very thing that makes them the best dogs on earth- their high drive! Of course that wonderful quality is overshadowed by obedience problems due to the owners lack of skill or time.
In my experience some of the most difficult dogs make the most outstanding dogs when given the right positive training and a task like dog sports, herding etc. When i hear of a dog that is full of beans and rearing to go that the previous owners coudn't control- i think that that dog is a sporting champion in the making with the right training.
I hope that this website gets forever homes to all the dogs listed and those that adopt choose wizely and cater to the needs and temperament of the dog to bring out its full potential so they can live out the rest of their lives feeling included in the family's activities what ever they may be.
Thanks again and keep up the good work. x

Message: Hi Sophie's Choice, I Just wanted to say what an awesome website you have. I check it regularly and think of others who may be willing to help one of the divine canines needing a loving home. I talk to my dog Gina about it and she seems to know she is a lucky one. I'm spreading the word about your site. I'll get a second dog when I'm in a position to but for now I'm helping this way, by checking the site and letting people know about it. Keep up the great work, you are making a real difference. Kind Regards and Woof Woof and Happy Tail Wags to all, Emma
