A little slice of paradise
Kennel Free Living
Dogs are playful, sociable animals and they enjoy playing together with toys, people and other dogs. We are proud to provide an environment our rescue can express normal behaviour such as digging, chewing, chasing, rolling in dirt, licking, sniffing, howling, running, chasing and play biting freely.
It’s important for our pets optimal health and happiness that they aren’t kept chained or locked up for the majority of their lives.
Be a responsible dog owner!
Thank you!

Adoption Promotion
We are pleased to announce this wonderful promotion! Every successfully adoption includes a 10% discount voucher on Royal Canine Products. We love nothing more than our rescue babies living their healthiest and happiest lives.
We are so excited to be in partnership with Royal Canin Zambia whose support has been invaluable to the sanctuary.
Thank you!
Cage free is the way to be!
We’ve had a busy week successfully introducing five new dogs into the main pack allowing us to free up some much needed kennel space. Thankfully our rescues are a happy bunch who just love to run and play with no major fighting.
We need 30 bags of roller meal to keep everyone happy and healthy in November. Can you sponsor a bag at k210? We only need 30 people to donate this amount.

“ I’d like to give these up for adoption she’s a stray we tried to chase her but she kept on coming so we accepted her and started taking care of her. The owner of the house has been threatening to poison her now that she has puppies his threatening to call council police to come and shot them.”
We are asking for help transporting this family from Avondale to our sanctuary so they can be out of harms way and well taken care of.
Unfortunately we get messages like this all the time. It’s sad that too few show any kindness or compassion to animals in need; just resorting to unnecessary cruelty and violence. These poor dogs are often just abandoned when they become unwanted, when owners relocate, or they are under fed in homes and are forced to scavenge to survive.
We need owners to be responsible - vaccinate, register and neuter your pets. Ensure they are properly fed and confined to your property. Be a responsible and caring pet owner.
Thank you!
Happiness is having a whole double bed to yourself
Little Noche is settling into his new home nicely. Already used to dogs and litter box trained we do our best to help our rescues transition to their new homes easily.
Very grateful to our lovely supporter who made space for one more furbaby in her heart and home.
Thank you!
Our lovely Bruno is settling into his new home wonderfully. Both dogs were a little nervous at first but after a few days they are now besties.When you open your home to a rescue it’s important to give them time to adjust. Whether it’s an older dog or a puppy, a lot of dogs tend to follow the 3-3-3 rule when getting used to their new home: 3 days of feeling overwhelmed and nervous. 3 weeks of settling in. 3 months of building trust and bonding with you.Thank you!
Happiness is kennel free...
We have a lot of mouths to feed and we need help. The rising costs of mealie has really hit our budget. If 30 people sponsored a bag every month we would have more than enough to ensure all our rescue babies are happy and healthy. Can you help?...

Thank you!
Our boy BFG (Big Friendly Giant) is getting ready to go his new home tomorrow. After being tied up and left to starve we look forward to seeing updates with his new loving family.
We rescue some real cuties
We walk and play a lot at our sanctuary making sure all our dogs can roam safely and freely all over the farm. Sadly many shelters are overcrowded creating stressful environments where dogs constantly fight and sometimes even kill each other.We look forward to continuing to improve our facilities so our rescues babies can be their healthiest and happiest selves but the ideal situation is for each and every dog to have a loving home of their own.Please open you heart and home to a rescue animal. Support your local shelter.Thank you!
We did a two stop detour on the way home from the vet to collect these babies. They were being thrown out like garbage but thankfully a student intervened. She missed class today to try get them the help they needed. Thanks to her kindness they now have a second chance.
A big thank you to this little one’s rescuer for taking such good care of him. Little kitty was found crying alone in the cold; he’s now with our new mother who has taken him in as one of her own.
After a long difficult day with a lot of sick rescues at the vet it was nice to be able to return Bruno and Bingo home. We had previously vaccinated and neutered them and when they recently got sick the owner reached out for help. We treated them for tick fever, vaccinated and dewormed again and sent them home with some pet mince.
Happy International Dog Day!
The goal of this day is to honor the unconditional love, boundless joy, and unwavering companionship that dogs bring into our lives.
Some ways to celebrate...
- Take your dog for a nice long walk at a cooler time of day
- Have a doggy play date with some friends
- Treat your dog or a dog in need to a special meal
- Donate to a dog shelter or sanctuary
Whatever you do today use every available opportunity to show love, kindness and compassion to these wonderful companion animals.
Living that good life at the sanctuary...
It’s been a long tiring week with our parvo puppy but thankfully he has recovered well. Eating ok; solid poop and just very lovely. We will keep for a couple more weeks to vaccinate, fatten him up and castrate before sending him home with some goodies.
Rescues like this are only made possible because of the support we receive. Thank you!
This poor baby was hit by a car and left to suffer by the side of the road. We diverted funds from our vaccine savings to help the dog receive emergency care. Xrays revealed a possible neck fracture but we wanted to give him time and a chance to recover from the major trauma. Unfortunately he went into decline and we made the call to put him to sleep.
Thank you to the reporter who stayed with him and have him water until help could arrive.
We need your help to help the helpless...

We were sent a tik tok video of this poor girl requesting we help her. Thankfully with help from @unza_animal_welfare we were able to locate her yesterday and bring her to the sanctuary where she can get the help she needs.

When we rescued this baby who was dumped she was so withdrawn and depressed. Now she has come out of her shell, playing with toys and learning to be a happy pup.
We love transforming these animals lives for the better; the environment makes all the difference. With rain season coming we really really need to build suitable enclosures for our rescue babies to stay warm and dry.
