We found this poor pup emaciated and abused, and managed to rescue her in the nick of time. We’ve been feeding her up, and already she is looking much better.

Twixie is a female Alsation cross. She’s an incredibly sweet and gentle dog who loves human company as well as other dogs. She needs a foster home for a couple of months to recover fully before she finds her forever home. When she’s better, Twix is going to make some lucky family a really outstanding pet.

Mungo
When Mungo came in, he was dirty, had matted, irritated skin, a serious injury on her back leg where bone was exposed. Here's Mungo today: clean, healed leg, groomed, adorable, bouncy, joyous little guy! Loves life!

Despite his pitiful condition and a very serious injury to his leg, he allowed the DARG volunteers to wash him and trim all the matted, mucky dreadlocks away. It took two volunteers more than an hour to get him into a condition where we could begin to help him. During the whole time, he never growled or snapped once, taking the treatment like a champ. It’s because of his gentleness and patience that the staff at DARG decided to name him Mungo, meaning Amiable in ancient Gaelic.

We’ve treated his leg, and it looks like he’s going to be fine once he recovers and gets some much needed loving care and attention. As soon as his leg heals, we’ll give him a proper groom, some food in his tummy and a start on the road to recovery. We’re desperately looking for a temporary foster home for Mungo in which to recuperate until he’s well enough to find his forever family. If you can assist us, please enquire at the DARG offices by calling  (021) 790 0383 or (021) 790 2050.

Meet Twiggy: This young mommy was rescued with her litter of nine puppies. She’s severely emaciated and covered in ticks. Even the pups had ticks!

Unfortunately it was too late to save two of them, and another two (the smallest) are in foster care under constant supervision. They’re drinking from Cola, a mommy dog who had still born pups but was still full of milk.

The remaining 5 are doing well, eating and playing! Mom has five smallish meals a day and is also on the way to recovery, although it will be a much longer journey for her! She’s wagging her tail a little more, and realizing that not all humans are bad. Her life can only get better from now!

Twiggy’s pups will be ready for adoption in 3 weeks… Twiggy will need to recover a little more before being spayed and adopted. This would happen much faster in a foster home so if you think you can care for Twiggy for a couple of months until she has fully recovered than please let us know!

+-2yr old Cross Breed female. Belonged to a vagrant and was very much loved and cared for except when her owner got drunk. That’s when he would turn violent and the last episode left Delilah with 2 broken ribs.

She is desperate to have that human bond again, this time without the kicking… She’s not traumatized and although a little shy at first, she quickly warms to people.
