GIVEN UP… just like that.

Zazu and Nala (5 years old) were given up two days ago. The owners are going to an old age home.

They are two beautiful dogs and they love people. Please be their lifeline, because they have no idea what happened and why they are in the shelter now.😥

They must be adopted together.

Everyone who is thinking of getting dogs should read this because you need to understand this reality:

***I am a 21st century dog.***
-I'm a Malinois.
Overskilled among dogs, I excel in all disciplines and I'm always ready to work: I NEED to work.
But nowadays I get asked to chill on the couch all day everyday.

-I am an Akita Inu.
My ancestors were selected for fighting bears.
Today I get asked to be tolerant and I get scolded for my reactivity when another approaches me.

-I am a Beagle.
When I chase my prey, I raise my voice so the hunters could follow.
Today they put an electric collar on me to shut up, and you make me come back to you - no running - with a snap of your fingers.

-I am a Yorkshire Terrier.
I was a terrifying rat hunter in English mines.
Today they think I can't use my legs and they always hold me in their arms.

-I'm a Labrador Retriever.
My vision of happiness is a dive into a pond to bring back the duck he shot to my master.
Today you forget I'm a walking, running, swimming dog; as a result I'm fat, made to stay indoors, and to babysit.

-I am a Jack Russell.
I can take on a fox, a mean badger, and a rat bigger than me in his den.
Today I get scolded for my character and high energy, and forced to turn into a quiet living room dog.

-I am a Siberian Husky.
Experienced the great, wide open spaces of Northern Europe, where I could drag sleds for long distances at impressive speeds.
Today I only have the walls of the house or small garden as a horizon, and the holes I dig in the ground just to release energy and frustration, trying to stay sane.

-I am a border collie
I was made to work hours a day in partnershipwith my master, and I am an unmistakable artist of working with the herd.
Today they are mad at me because, for lack of sheep, I try to check bikes, cars, children in the house and everything in motion.

I am ...
I am a 21st century dog.
I'm pretty, I'm alert, I'm obedient, I stay in a bag...but I'm also an individual who, from centuries of training, needs to express my instincts, and I am *not* suited for the sedentary life you'd want me to lead.
Spending eight hours a day alone in the house or in the garden - with no work and no one to play or run with, seeing you for a short time in the evening when you get home, and only getting a small toilet walk will make me deeply unhappy.
I'll express it by barking all day, turning your yard into a minefield, doing my needs indoors, being unmanageable the rare times I'll find myself outside, and sometimes spending my days sunk, sad, lonely, and depressed, on my pillow.
You may think that I should be happy to be able to enjoy all this comfort while you go to work, but actually I’ll be exhausted and frustrated, because this is absolutely NOT what I'm meant to do, or what I need to be doing.
If you love me, if you've always dreamed of me, if my beautiful blue eyes or my athletic look make you want me, but you can't give me a real dog's life, a life that's really worth living according to my breed, and if you can't offer me the job that my genes are asking, DO NOT buy or adopt me!
If you like the way I look but aren't willing to accept my temperament, gifts, and traits derived from long genetic selection, and you think you can change them with only your good will, then DO NOT BUY OR ADOPT ME.
I’m a dog from the 21st century, yes, but deep inside me, the one who fought, the one who hunted, the one who pulled sleds, the one who guided and protected a herd still lives within.
So think **very** carefully before you choose your dog. And think about getting two, rather than one, so I won't be so very lonely waiting for you all day. Eight or ten hours is just a workday to you, but it's an eternity for me to be alone.

SKY 🩵 came to us when she impaled herself on a palisade fence and had a huge gash in her thigh.

Her owner never once asked about her, so we had two choices, put her to sleep or re-home. By that time we had already invested in her medical care, plus she survived parvo (at our cost) as a puppy. And she had such loving personality that we only really had one option in the end.

We knew she might me a little more difficult to re-home, but put her in a foster home with lots of dogs to at least socialise her and see how she would cope with a motley crew.

Sky is around 18 months old now. She LOVES being with people - she is one of the most affectionate dogs you will ever meet.
She loves to curl up next to you and groan from the enjoyment of affection.

She gets on well with other dogs - but due to her age and energy levels, can be excitable. She need exercise! And she LOVES galloping and gallivanting like a bush buck through the fynbos.

She is very obedient, and listens well.

Her ideal home would probably be spacious, with regular walks. She would love a friend - it does not matter male or female, but she does prefer some dogs to play with.

No cats!

She is extremely alert and protective over the property.

She is an incredibly loving dog who will definitely keep up with long hikes or runs, who will be alert when she needs to be, but who would love to curl up next to you on the couch under a warm blanket with a satisfying groan of content.
