At the Faircape Group they believe that there are many benefits of pet therapy and we couldn't agree more!
It causes laughter and smiles, decrease the feelings of isolation, encourages communication and socialization, decreases boredom, improves recovery and releases calming endorphins and it does exactly the same to the dogs in our care who are awaiting their forever homes.
It's always heartwarming to see their faces light up. Thank you for always having us. 💙

Teaching Kindness in the Classroom
Yesterday we were privileged to host and share our expert knowledge on pet care with an enthusiastic group of Grade 6 learners from Primrose Park Primary School in Manenberg who is determined to score top marks for their assignment on “Taking Care of Animals”.
The group (and their teachers) also got to spend some time interacting with the animals in our care where they got to experience and learn how we put our core values of kindness, empathy, generosity, respect, responsibility and integrity into practice in our quest for a more compassionate society.
A huge round of APAWS goes to their school for including the welfare of animals in their syllabus ♥.
Hello everyone! Meet Helene who is all the way from Belgium and our cute boy Cuban who is at the shelter.
This is also just a little update on Cuban and how amazing his new journey has been.
Cuban is a superstar! Very playful and just wants to cuddle.
His tail hasn't stopped wagging, thanks to our followers and donors who was involved throughout his rehabilitation.
Although he still has bare patches here and there, we are happy to announce that Cuban is ready to meet his forever family.
We cannot wait to rehome this boy and have him feel what real love and family is all about.

Hello everyone!
Take me home and keep me warm this winter. I'd even be happy as a foster.
A few weeks ago I was roaming the streets and a lovely security man rescued me, thankfully in time before the cold storm happened.
The kennels are cold! I'd love to be home, cuddled up, nice and warm.

Please adopt me. 😢
I have lots of friends at the shelter but I have also seen many of them finding their forever homes. I hope mine is out there too.
I am packed with fun and I don't mind being a couch potato at all. I can do both.

Hello everyone! My name is Cosmo.
Today my owner decided that it was time for me to cross the rainbow bridge. I was hurt and confused because I'm just a baby.
While the inspector was doing a sterilization campaign in Hanover Park, my owner stopped him and asked him to take me.
He brought me to the shelter and I heard the staff asking each other to give me another chance.
I was overjoyed. I was wagging my tail from left to right, knowing that my end is not near.
