On behalf of Caring Friends Therapy Dogs, we extend our deepest condolences on the passing of Pierre de Villiers. Pierre was a devoted and compassionate handler who touched many lives through his work with Storm, Thore, and Zara. Despite his own challenges, his gentle spirit and deep love for Jesus shone through in everything he did.

He will be dearly missed—not only as a respected colleague in the dog training community, but especially as a treasured friend.

Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to La'Rauchelle and Floyd. May God’s peace surround you and bring comfort during this difficult time.

TIME CHANGE: 12H00 TO 14H00!

We are pleased to announce that THE Dulux dogs from the TV advert are visiting Oudtshoorn in February.

His predecessor Oscar took his Canine Good Citizen test with us in Vanderbijlpark. All 3 dogs are involved in therapy dog work with their mom Sue Green
On Sunday, Jade, Orion and Yola get to meet Kolya and Sahara privately 😍 and on Wednesday 18th February between 9h00 and 11h00, everyone can meet them at Swan's Hardware, where they are available for photos and plenty cuddles. Don't miss out on meeting these gorgeous dogs!!
