This little 2 year old Cutie comes from the pig accident on sir Lowrys pass a couple of days ago ! He now has a collar , vaccinated and been sterilised ! He will be up for adoption through GAWS soon but housing with us while he waits for his new home will never put him in any danger again !

Amazing with kitties , other dogs , humans and children ! Perfect family pet !

I am Cappy ! And I am adorable 🥰

A True Gentleman of dogs ❤️
Our Tribute to an animal we really adored and will forever love , Gus your nose was the biggest I have ever seen , your paws couldn't fit in my hands but I loved trying to make them fit anyway ! Every massive log in our garden reminds me of you , when your mom would notify me of a booking my son would start making sure no one used your logs for fire wood , that tree is for Gus Gus mom ! You gave the best kisses , it will be weird seeing Charlie in our home for visits without you laying next to our son's bed watching all who comes in and goes out , staying close to him or Adam .

Run free boy ! We send our deepest condolences to your mom and dad and Charlie , you were so very loved and well looked after , I feel blessed to have great memories of the last time we saw you , we will hold on to those ! Love you boy 💕❤️ Michelle Fourie

Thank you to 3 amazing people for starting our journey with us ! It's not often in fact never that we ask for help even though we do accommodate welfare boarders separate from normal boarders, so asking and receiving is something special indeed .

We are hoping to get help with another three to four rolls please then I can handle the rest .( Halfway there )

R1850 for 1 roll of fencing - please WhatsApp me if you can help , our list is massive but this is the only part that I really need help with .🎁🙏

Just some photos of this December - we have so many memories and laughs from 2024 , as well as "how the flip did you get that right " moments . Dogs are extremely entertaining!

Update 5Jan : 4 rolls fencing have been sponsored! One by a completely anonymous person - please make contact with us ? And one from Raja and chewy dad , and two from amazing Elma that supports the farm watch work that we do , I am SO greatful! 5 more rolls and poles to go .

Help needed ! Networking post .( The current farm is on the market ) Not sure if we would get any help but I'm going to try .

We are moving to a new farm in 2025 ( still in grabouw) the property is not fenced and we have our work cut out for us - but once done it will be heaven 😍 the costs of just fencing and poles are below , this is without the doggy pool and shade cloth , feeding runs and setting up our staff , gates ect .

We have such amazing clients however it's never easy to ask for help to keep the dream alive . Please get in contact with us if you could sponsor fencing it's R1850 per 30 meters and we need 9 rolls , poles are R5000 and we need to collect it ourselves as well. any help would be really appreciated.

Please WhatsApp - 065 843 6348

Notice :
We have 30 clients for the festive season ( + our welfare side dogs ) I cannot send photos every single day , neither can I send MSG's every day to tell you that your dogs are still happy ! Photos are permitted for once a week , the animals in our care are not ornaments and they need our time and care more than sitting for photos .

All dogs are separated for collection and drop offs as well as feeding times to avoid all risks of stress with seeing new people and jealousy amongst the pack ( safety ALWAYS first at our home )

Please also note we are people like everybody else and we do have family time / switch off time and no work times 🙂 ( hence being a team of 5 dedicated people - this is excluding our camera system that surrounds our home to keep that extra watch ) our gates are closed unless you have a appointment via WhatsApp .

We will be CLOSED on Christmas and new year's day - unless there is an emergency collection or no other option ( WhatsApp to arrange )

Let's have that festive spirit and respect the rules we have in place - dogs come first and humans after . 💝✨ We try and accommodate everybody as best we can but we cannot be expected to sit on our phones the entire day updating over 30 people and I can't open my gates at 8 pm at night for collections 😳

Please also know that I am very quick to say something if we have a problem with a dog in our care , so no news is good news , furthermore I assure a weekly update and unexpected photos / videos of your pet 😊

NO late payment will be accepted either - last year we had 4 dogs dumped here - this is a rule unfortunately and not fair on us .

Thank you to our clients for understanding
