Rescue dogs - Red Dog, Tanner and Theo - were fostered out through Australian Working Dog Rescue to a Kambah family when they were allegedly poisoned last Wednesday, between the hours of 8.30am and 4pm.
Theo survived due to the quick work of foster carers and vets but Red Dog and Tanner died of their injuries.
A post on Australian Working Dog Rescue's Facebook page calling for witnesses was shared more than 3000 times.
Police are hoping to speak to a boy believed to be in his late teens, who was spotted around the Tepper Circuit area around midday.
The boy is described as Caucasian in appearance, short brown hair and of a medium build.
He was wearing a brown or red t-shirt, dark long pants and carrying a dark backpack.
The crime carries the maximum penalty of $1000 or six months imprisonment.
People with information about the incident are urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or report via the website at act.crimestoppers.com.au using reference number 5877800.
