This beautiful family have an interesting story. They became jetsetters!! Rescued in Kosibay and driven to PMB - they then boarded a private executive jet and were flown to Lanseria. What a trip! And they all took this in their stride as if it was a daily event.
Their family setup is always unique. 2 sisters got pregnant - 1 had 5 kittens , the other one had an abortion. But both nursed the kittens together. So precious 💕. All healthy and well - 2 kittens have been adopted but the 2 moms and 3 kittens in pics are waiting for their home. Would love a mom and baby to go together. Such a bonded little family. Contact Carolyn on 0836422188. In Bryanston area. Homechecks and adoption fees apply.

Rufus is a 9 week old x-breed boy up for adoption through A New Hope Dog Rescue and in foster with The Gorgepot Foundation.

This little boy is extremely affectionate. He is well-socialised, loves his dog and cat foster family but is very human orientated and dependent. He arrived very timid, and although his confidence has grown in leaps and bounds, he is still not the most confident in new environments so we would prefer him to go to a home where he has a human home with him all-day. He is very very affectionate with humans. He will be medium sized when fully grown.

He has had his first vaccination, has been microchipped and is up for adoption immediately.

Homecheck and adoption fee applies. Adoption fee includes sterilisation at 6 months old. Based in Bryanston, JHB.

Please email [email protected] for more information and adoption forms.

Please share if you can’t adopt 🐶. This boy is the sweetest!

Suzie really needs help,
her world has fallen to pieces, her puppies were all taken away from her as they found homes but Suzie sadly hasn’t.

For a few short weeks Suzies life changed from an abandoned struggling Mom in the township where she was hit by a car that broke her leg but still had to give birth to four puppies alone in terrible pain, she became the centre of attraction, she had her loving puppies, a warm home and a Mom of her own but now because her foster Mom couldn’t adopt her she is at a shelter in a cage where she sleeps alone at night and misses her puppies and the life she thought was hers and wonders what she did wrong.

Suzies foster Mom says that she is such a special dog, who was devoted to her puppies, loyal, gentle and kind, she is good with other dogs and humans of all ages and the loss of her leg doesnt cause her any problems.

Suzie doesn’t deserve to spend her life in a shelter please help her if you can and contact me urgently Suzie really needs a home of her own.

❗️It's Not All About How They're Raised... and that doesn't just apply to Pit Bulls❗️

When it comes to bully breeds, I keep hearing “it’s all about how they’re raised” “no dog is born aggressive” etc.

As a huge bully advocate and being the previous owner of a Bull Terrier with pedigree from an extremely reputable breeder that I’ve owned from puppy hood and still own a Pit Bull shelter mutt that I acquired when he was about 1 year old I got great insight in this topic.

It’s an absolute fact that we can’t over write or ignore genetics that come with dog breeds. Natural instincts that they are born with which some may display more than others but they are there.

It's not about how the dogs are raise but about HOW THEY ARE HANDLED AND MANAGED which is totally different from how they are raised.

And that doesn’t apply only to Pit Bull's but to any purpose bred breed. It’s normal that a Heeler or Border Collie will try to herd or bite/nip moving objects to control them, it’s normal that as Anatolian Shepherd or other Life Stock Guarding breed will guard property, potentially people and items from others and it’s normal that even the little Yorkshire Terrier wouldn’t mind killing small animals and get a kick out of it.

My Bull Terrier had an extremely stable temperament thanks to incredibly good breeding but she would still kill a cat if you gave her the opportunity.

My Pity Mutt came to me with a rather unstable temperament but at this point is an extremely enjoyable dog. I have raised him with the utmost care as he came to me with strong resource guarding issues and other behaviour issues.

While those issues have reduced drastically but are genetically imprinted, he has to be handled with a certain amount of care and safety protocols. Funny enough, you wouldn’t know about those issues unless I tell you about it. And that’s all not just because of training, which is a huge part of his raising, but HANDLING AND MANAGEMENT.

Some breeds and dogs in general, are more prone to any type of aggressive behaviours.

Actually, many purpose bred dogs are prone some behaviours that we could consider aggressive since many people would consider a Border Collie trying to control dogs at a dog park aggressive when in reality he's just doing his job.

But there’s many breeds that are naturally prone to be more aggressive and that will include any breed that particularly was bred for a guarding job or hunting/fighting.

So, with these dogs, you can raise them as perfectly all you want but unless you know how to also HANDLE AND MANAGE these breeds, all your perfect raising won’t be of any success.

It’s not uncommon for many breeds bred to have more types of aggression to either show the behaviours in puppy hood OR in some cases only once they reach maturity. It could be that your Great Pyrenees is the most lovable dog and at the age of 3 he starts tremendously resource guarding that you have to control.

Your dog could be lovable with all dogs and at the age two he all of a sudden turns and doesn’t like other dogs anymore without having had any bad experience.

The good thing is, that with purpose bred dogs that come from responsible breeders that breed for temperament, behaviours can be a better predicted from the get got and therefore puppies can be placed into the right hands.

But when it comes to mixed breeds, or most "Pit Bulls" that are really just a shelter mutt (there are very few American Pit Bull Terriers that come from reputable breeders with pedigree) behaviours can be unpredictable and can pop up at any time.

So with any dog breed that is naturally a working dog, it’s not all about how they are raised at all. It’s about how they are handled and managed.

If you keep saying “It’s all about how they’re raised” you are putting people in danger by creating a picture that any dog can be owned by anybody as long as they “raise” them properly which is a term that clearly is still misunderstood by the main dog owner population.
