Highlands Dingo Rescue Ltd

Highlands Dingo Rescue Ltd is an Australian charity dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of wild-born dingo pups orphaned due to government persecution methods such as 1080 poison baiting, trapping, and shooting. These vulnerable pups often arrive in poor health, requiring immediate veterinary care and specialised support to survive and thrive. The organisation provides a safe, nurturing environment with state-of-the-art facilities and a team committed to the wellbeing of every dingo in their care.

Rescue and Rehabilitation of Orphaned Dingo Pups

The charity’s flagship project focuses on the rescue of orphaned wild-born dingo pups, followed by their rehabilitation in a controlled environment. This includes medical treatment, socialisation, and training to prepare them for adoption into suitable homes. The project highlights the importance of wildlife conservation, animal welfare, and ecological balance by protecting a native species that plays a vital role in Australia’s ecosystem.
