Meet Blake: A senior boy who deserves a second chance at love 🖤

This gorgeous, fluffy boy is Blake, a Chow cross, estimated to be around 7 years old. Blake came into our care on 25 May 2026 after being found wandering the streets of Hammarsdale. We don't know what life was like for him before that day, or what he had to endure, but we do know that he arrived with part of his tail needing to be amputated and suffering from terrible mange. It's hard to imagine what this boy went through. But look at him now! 😍 His beautiful, fluffy coat has grown back, and he is looking absolutely wonderful.

He's come such a long way, but there's one thing still missing from Blake's life…a home. A family. Someone to love him and never let him go 💚

And there's so much to love about Blake! He enjoys his walks, absolutely loves water, and would love nothing more than to spend his days enjoying life's simple pleasures with someone special.

Blake isn't a fan of cats and would be happiest as the only dog in the home, where he can soak up all the love and attention for himself.

At around 7 years old, Blake is considered a senior, but please don't let that put you off. He still has so much life to enjoy and so much love to give. He isn't asking for much. Just a soft place to sleep, a few adventures, a splash in the water, and most importantly, a person who chooses him.

Please, can we make that happen for him?Let's get this boy home! 🐾

From a heartbreaking beginning to a beautiful new chapter. Mia's story started in the most difficult way. She was found on the back of a bakkie in the scorching heat, tied down alongside her family, including her seven newborn puppies, with no food or water. Thankfully, someone stopped, noticed them, and changed their lives forever.

Since arriving at AACL – Durban & PMB Branch, Mia has come such a long way. She has blossomed into the most gentle, loving, and friendly girl. Calm, adaptable, and happy to get along with everyone, she truly is a special dog who has so much love to give 💚

After everything she has been through, Mia finally has a family to call her own! 🎉 A huge thank you to Mia's new family for opening your hearts and home to her. Thank you for choosing adoption and giving this beautiful girl the happy ending she deserves.

Here's to a lifetime of cuddles, adventures, love, and happy memories, Mia! We couldn't be happier for you 🐶

ALL THIS LOVE, AND STILL NO ONE WANTS TO ADOPT THE BREADLOAF? 🍞🥺

Just look at her! Kittie is 3 years old, ridiculously affectionate, full of personality, and absolutely LOVES attention. She's a professional cuddler, a little chatterbox, and a whole lot of love wrapped up in one generously sized calico package 😂 And yet, not a single adoption enquiry 💔

Kittie does need to be the ONLY CAT in the home, but in return, you'll have one very devoted little queen who wants nothing more than to love you (and probably follow you everywhere) 👑 Surely someone out there has room for this gorgeous girl?

Bruce is only 1.5 years old. He should be out living his best life, not waiting in a kennel.

Meet Bruce! This handsome Labrador cross is a small-to-medium-sized boy with a whole lot of love to give. Bruce was found being kept all on his own in a tiny, dirty courtyard. He was thin, had no space to run, play, or explore, and was being deprived of the simple things every dog deserves – the chance to just be a dog 💔

Thankfully, Bruce is now safe with us, but his story isn't finished. He's still waiting for someone to notice him, choose him, and give him the life he's always deserved.

Life in kennels is stressful for Bruce, and it's not where he shows his best self. But take him out of that environment and you'll meet a completely different dog – the sweetest boy who just wants affection, attention, and a little love.

Just imagine what life could look like for Bruce with a garden to explore, walks to enjoy, toys to play with, and a family to come home to. At just 1.5 years old, he has his whole life ahead of him!

Bruce doesn't need rescuing from the kennels just to be safe. He needs a family who will show him what it really means to be loved 💚

Quince has something to say…and she's not afraid to say it! 😻 This little 6 month old girl is full of chat, with the biggest green eyes and a whole lot of personality. Black cats can so easily be overlooked, but just listen to this girl! She has so much love and conversation to offer. Quince would really love someone to talk to…preferably forever 🥹💚

Maya and Mischief have found their forever home together. These two little tabbies are off on their next big adventure, and the best part is that they get to share it with each other!

From being found vulnerable in a scrap yard to now having a family of their very own, their journey is a beautiful reminder of why rescue work matters so much.

A huge THANK YOU to their wonderful new family for opening your hearts and home to not just one, but two little lives. Thank you for choosing adoption, for giving them a chance, and for keeping these two together. We hope your home is filled with endless purrs, playful antics, cuddles, and years of happiness!

Maya and Mischief, your happily ever after starts now. May your lives be filled with love, comfort, and so many adventures 💚

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Gift of the Givers for an absolutely incredible donation of gloves, needles, and syringes! 🐾 A massive thank you also goes to SAFE for organising, and to everyone who played a part in making it happen.

These essential supplies will make a tremendous difference to the care we provide our animals. It takes a village to look after those who cannot speak for themselves, and we are so fortunate to have such wonderful people standing alongside us.

And of course, Sammy was on hand to supervise the delivery! 😹

Thank you, Gift of the Givers, SAFE, and everyone involved. You are making a real difference! 🐶🐱💚
