DINGOES

Dingoes in Australia

Dingoes are an Australian native animal, however in most parts of Australia, our legislation allows the killing of dingoes through inhumane 1080 poison, trapping and shooting. The reasons for this are complex, and the outcomes even more so. Throughout Australia, a number of researchers and organisations are working to protect our dingoes and support long term conservation and management. 

Here are some websites where can find further information about dingoes:

Dingo adoption and research 

I am not a dingo expert however I support the work of those who are. By writing about dingoes I hope to raise awareness of the challenges faced by dingoes in Australia. As I write about dingo rescues and research, I hope to amplify their work and support dingo conservation. 

Below you’ll also find articles about our rescue dingoes — these articles are written from the perspective of a first-time dingo carer. Our rescue dingoes have been part of our family for four years. It’s been a steep learning curve but an immensely rewarding experience. Dingoes belong in the wild, but many, like Rusty and Jalba, are orphaned or injured and are in need of homes. I hope by sharing our stories, I can help others who are dingo carers and those who are considering adopting a dingo.    

For professional advice about caring for your dingo, please contact your dingo rescue or a vet with dingo experience.
