Our Mission

Welcome to POOPS WA (Pets of Older Persons)

POOPS WA is a not-for-profit organisation run entirely by volunteers that provides a fee-free pet care service for elderly pet owners. We have been carrying out our mission of ‘Keeping people and pets together’ since 2010. Today we support clients in the Greater Perth Metro area and Busselton. 

At POOPS we believe no one should have to give up their pets due to age, and our volunteers actively work to keep people with their pets for as long as possible. Our generous volunteers form ongoing relationships with our clients.

Our clients are pet owners who are over the age of 60, or palliative care patients of any age who need assistance with caring for their beloved pets and are unable to pay for support.

Our clients have amazing things to say about POOPS!

  • “Its been unbelievably good and to think its a voluntary organisation, I’m very grateful for it”

    Maureen J

  • I think it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me since I’ve been here, because before I was getting really down, not down in the dumps but you’re just on your own a lot and now I’ve got people coming nearly every day… Sophie and I have a very busy life meeting people and I love meeting people I really do.

    Ann

  • “Being without transport, I know if I have an emergency, she (volunteer Jane L) would take me to the vet, she’s become more of a friend to me now and I think the world of her and I think the whole concept of POOPS is marvellous and I know there are many people, particularly older people who live for their dogs and as long as the dogs are taken care of that’s their main worry”
