Important notice regarding our services

Our Notices web page was intended for the community to use to seek lost animals or advertise found ones. Up until now, we have also allowed people who can no longer keep their animals for whatever reason, to advertise the animals for re-homing.

Sadly, this seems to be attracting many people who want to abandon their pets. Many people are emigrating, or find that their animals were cute as puppies and kittens, but “a bit of a hassle” once they become adults.

We at DARG would like to strictly state that we support responsible adoption of animals. If you are the sort of person who has an animal and then decides to throw it away, we do not wish to support your endeavor. However, and sadly, we do understand that this is not going to magically stop people from deciding they no longer want their pets. For this reason, we will now be charging a fee for any advertisement of this nature.

To advertise the re-homing of your pet on our Notices page, the cost is R100 per animal.

Temporary re-homing of your animal at the DARG premises is a separate fee.

If anyone feels offended by this post, or the way it has been stated, we ask you to please take a moment and consider how your pet must feel when you decide that you no longer love it enough to make a home for it. Please remember our primary mission is to support the animals, not the people.

Naturally lost and found notices are still free to all.
