Meet Oscar with the gentle eyes. He was uplifted from horrific conditions and was being bullied by several big dogs. He used to hide in kennels and jump up on platforms to get away from the dogs.😢Oscar climbed into our book shelf when he first arrived at DARG. He was so overwhelmed and just wanted to hide. It has taken time but thankfully this precious little boy is coming out of his shell so beautifully. He has discovered toys and balls and has so much fun playing with them. He also loves his walks and his little tail doesn't stop wagging. Oscar is gentleness personified and loves cuddling once he trusts you. He's about 10 years old and would love a little garden and a mum or dad of his own.

He's a loving, intelligent big boy who adores humans, water and ball games! 🩷Troy also loves attention and will chat away with you asking for more cuddles and love. He enjoys meeting dogs on walks and playing with them. This gorgeous big boy has done so well with his training and would do well with a well-socialised dog. He's going to make the most amazing companion!
(A secure property with high walls is necessary. Troy is +/- 15 months old and is in excellent health. He has had x-rays and his hips are perfect.)

You can see what Dipstick thinks of his name! He's a gorgeous young boy with the sweetest nature and he really needs a different name. Please comment below if you have a good name for him.

BIG boy Max the Lurcher has found himself an incredible home! He used to regularly escape his property in Hangberg and wouldn't go near concerned individuals trying to catch him on the road. Jeremy was able to catch him each time but DARG communicated the danger of him being hit by a car to the owner who eventually surrendered him. Max was also being bullied by the other two males on the property. He was terrified of a leash and scared of most people. Max used to leopard crawl out of his run at DARG. As you can all see, he is now a happy well-adjusted boy with a sister and older brother he gets on well with. It wasn't smooth sailing at first but thanks to Daniel Schonlau (certified behaviourist) he now plays with his sister and they are firm friends. Max honestly has such wonderful parents who have been incredibly patient with him. The DARG Team and Max say 'Never give up and trust the process.' Wishing all our supporters a week of perseverance and positive vibes.'

Flavia is an oldie who really needs a retirement home. She's is an easygoing sweet-natured girl who will make a doting companion. Flavia only needs a stroll around the block and a cosy bed to curl up in next to her owner. She would be perfect for a retired individual and is a great size. This pretty pooch still loves her ball games and is very sweet with humans big and small. If you can foster Flavia, DARG covers all food and medical expenses.

Anna still needs your help. She didn't go to the applicants who applied for her and is still looking for her forever home. This poor baby is depressed and is not adjusting well to life in a shelter. 😔 Her owner lost everything and couldn't take her with her. Anna is a sweet and loving cat. There were two dogs living with her so she should be ok with a slow intro to other dogs. She is best suited as an only cat and is about 8 yrs old. Please share so Anna can find a home.

There is no dog more deserving of a home than Pamela. She's the most loving, goofy, sweet and cuddly baby at DARG and all she wants is love. Incredibly athletic, Pamela adores racing after her ball on the field and she'd make an amazing running buddy. She's also a water baby and enjoys a dip in the paddle pool on hot days. Toys and balls are her favourite things after cuddles. This special girl needs a mum or dad who has experience with bully breeds. She is not suitable to a home with young children. Pamela can walk with other dogs but needs to be an only pet. (Pamela is slightly bigger than a Staffie and is +/- 7 years old.) Strict adoptions rules apply.
If you would like more information about Pamela, please contact 021 790 0383 or [email protected] (DARG is located in Hout Bay, Western Cape)

Pippa has the 3 C's we all look for in a new friend: she's clever, cute, and a good companion. 🩷Her understanding of 'leave-it' is brilliant, and she knows how to climb up a slide and then jump from one tyre to the next. 😀 She has the cutest repertoire of facial expressions and is so engaging. Pippa enjoys playing with other dogs and with her toys. Her all-round adorable personality is simply the best. 🐾🐾

Luca was brought into DARG with a broken back leg. His mum and our clinic manager were on the verge of tears as he is such a tiny pup and he was in a lot of pain. We are happy to announce that his leg is going to be OK and he will be on strict cage rest until he is fully healed. Thank you to all of our supporters who make it possible for us to help Luca and all the other animals in Hangberg and Imizamo Yethu. 🙏

Lucy is beyond cute and is all bum wiggles when meeting other dogs and humans! She's a happy, bright, engaging and super loveable little girl who only weighs 12 kg. Lucy would make an incredible running buddy and is always up for going on adventures. Although she adores balls, catching them is not her forte but she enjoys herself and her humans get to have a good laugh. 😄She is currently training with The Underdog Project and is doing really well. (Lucy would suit a male companion but is not good with cats) (+/- 1.5 yrs old)
