What are the criteria for a dog you can help rehome?

We specialize in rehoming small breed dogs and puppies. We are a home-to-home service, so your dog must be able to stay with you during the process.

How long does rehoming take?

There is no fixed timeline. Some dogs may be matched within days, while others take weeks or longer. We focus on a suitable home, not the fastest placement.

Do I get a say in who adopts my dog?

Absolutely. Your comfort and confidence are our priority. We will present our carefully selected and pre-screened family recommendation to you first. Once you are happy and give us the green light, we move forward with the official adoption process for the new family, which includes arranging the introduction to your dog.

Is there a surrender fee?

Rehoming is a free, judgement-free service, although voluntary administrative contributions are always welcome.

Can I change my mind?

Yes. If your circumstances change before an adoption is finalised, tell us. We will pause the process and talk through the safest next step for your dog.

Do you help bonded pairs?

Yes, where possible. Tell us if two dogs rely on each other. We will consider whether they should stay together and look for applicants who can meet their needs.

How are applicants screened?

Applicants are reviewed through an adoption application, conversation, references or home checks where appropriate, and suitability for the specific dog. Final steps depend on the dog's needs and the home.

What happens if my dog has behavioural or medical needs?

Please tell us as much as you can upfront. Behavioural or medical needs do not automatically mean we cannot help, but they do affect the type of home, timing, and advice we give.

Important Note on Alfie’s Preferences: While he is a total cuddle bug on his own terms, Alfie prefers to keep his feet on the ground and doesn’t particularly enjoy being picked up. He also prefers to stay high and dry—swimming is definitely not his thing!

Because of his vibrant Jack Russell nature, he is looking for an active household that can match his wonderful spirit, but one where he doesn’t have to share his humans with other animals. Unfortunately, Alfie is not suited for homes with other dogs, cats, or pocket pets.

Why is Alfie Being Rehomed?

Alfie’s current owner is facing an incredibly demanding job with a severe lack of time, meaning this energetic boy isn’t getting the full attention and playtime he truly deserves. The legal owner has safely kept Alfie with them while we search, but the situation is now very URGENT. We want to transition him directly from his current home into his forever home to keep his stress levels to an absolute minimum.

Adoption Requirements

Location: Cape Town & surrounding Western Cape areas.
Pet Status: Must be an only-pet household (no other dogs or cats).
Understanding Boundaries: A home that respects his independence (no young children who might try to pick him up constantly).
