A happy family that adopted a doggy from our organisation. The family consists out of a happy married couple, their adult son and now their new furry friend. The dog is a male dog that we were sheltering. He is light brown, very strong and medium sized. He fortunately did not have a history of abuse before being adopted. The image works well with the visual appeal of the website since the clear blue sky works well with the teal-blueish colour of the website and the mother has a cherry red outfit on that matches the colour of the cherry red buttons of this site.

This organisation's logo has a basset hound on it that is why the designer of the website added a basset hound image to this section to cultivate the company's image.

First example of a catio that was built for a client: The catio is small and triangular. It has a rocky floor. The door is to the left and is one meter tall. This door is small and is meant for the animals. There is a small green cat home inside on a ledge within the catio. The catio is surrounded by wire and is made with wooden planks as well. Second example of a catio that was built for a client. This catio is much larger than the first example and serves not as a animal home but rather a catio for when the owners are away. The catio is very larger and covers the entire backyard. It has one shell baby bath for water for the animals and one part has a brick pathway and the other part has grass. This catio is also made out of wire and wooden planks.

Shelter animals adopted
by loving families

Thank You for Adopting!
Adoption one: Dog. A cute little black puppy got adopted by two men. The man who is holding the puppy proudly has a moustache and blond hair. He is wearing a black T-shirt that makes seeing the puppy a little bit difficult ,however you can still see the puppy's adorable face!
Adoption two: Cat
Adoption three: Dog. A young lady with a brown ponytail has adopted a small brown puppy. She has blue sharp eyes and sharp eyebrows, a nose piercing and Addidas clothing on. The male puppy is a few weeks old and you can see the young woman will love him for ever!
Adoption four: Cats. Two little precious Tabby kittens were adopted by a young couple. The woman to the left is holding one of the kittens and her much taller boyfriend is holding the other kitten. They are at home and are both smiling as very happy about their new furry babbies!
Adoption five: two dogs. A bachelor guy adopted two puppies with different breeds. We do not know the breeds however the one that he is holding in his left side is a baby pitch black puppy with sharp big ears that looks very fit and the other one that he is holding to his right side is a very light brown doggy that looks like a puppy Jack Russel. The man took the picture at home and is smiling happily about his new buddies!
Adoption six: Cat. An older couple adopted a snow white kitten. The kitten once was very neglected with fleas in the poor thing's eyes. The vets had to help the little thing survive. The new proud owners are very happy about their little angel. The new mom has the cat in her arms and petting it. Her husbands smiles broadly into the camera. He is wearing a Springboks shirt and you can tell that this new cat dad is just as happy about the kitten as he would be if the Springboks wins a rugby match.
Adoption seven: Dog. A beautiful young woman adopted a small blond puppy. She is laughing since the dog constantly wants to lick her in the face. She is so happy about her new friend.
Adoption eight: Cat. Another young woman adopted a cat. The cat is still young but not a kitten anymore. The cat is also a Tabby cat with a white belly. The woman in the picture is very happy with the cat and is holding it in her arms while smiling into the camera.
Adoption nine: Dog
Adoption ten: Cat. A full grown tabby cat was adopted by a young woman with glasses. She is standing inside her house while taking the picture. The cat is resting peacefully on her shoulder and even thought the cat is awake you can see he is ready to dose off on his new owner's shoulder.
Adoption eleven: Dog. A family of four adopted a small black and brown puppy. The family consists out of an older happily married couple and their two adult son's. The puppy is also smiling into the camera along with is new family.

Heartwarming words
from happy pet owners

Highly recommend Animal Rescue

We adopted Oreo just over a year and 4 months ago. He is such a sweet adorable dog. From the start Mrs Osman was helpful to assist with all our questions and she fully understand when we mentioned we need to see if Oreo will be compatible with the rest of our dogs , she came all the way and brought Oreo to us, we felt in love from the 1st sight and could not give him back, she immediately agreed Oreo may stay. Thanks for trusting us with Oreo!

Max, aka “Hercules” - Adoption

We adopted a pup from Osman Animal Rescue last year April. “Hercules” was his name, until we brought him home and named him Max. The adoption process was very professional and Shafeena and her team were so kind and helpful. Max today has filled our hearts with so much love and joy! We would definitely adopt from Osman again. Thank you for all you are doing for those animals in need. The world needs more people out there like you! 🙏❤️

Fantastic group for rescues

What a fantastic group this is. They really try and assist every abandoned, abused animal. Hats off to Shafeena for running this organization with the little bit of funding there is. Definitely a group for the animals without a voice.

What are the limited amount of pets that I may have on my property?

National Guidelines on Pet Limits:

Although there is no centralised law, several sources indicate commonly adopted guidelines across municipalities:

Dogs:

• 2 dogs over 6 months old in a dwelling unit (e.g., apartment or sectional title).

• 3 dogs in a freestanding house (single dwelling).

• 4 dogs in a large dwelling house (on a plot exceeding 600m²).

Cats:

• Up to 4 cats on most residential properties.

• Up to 6 cats on agricultural properties.

These numbers are not absolute and depend on the specific municipality.

• No more than 2 dogs in a dwelling unit.

• No more than 4 dogs in premises with one or two dwelling houses.

• No more than 6 dogs on agricultural property.

How do I foster an animal?

You can foster an animal by calling Shafeena at 082 254 5543 to make your request.

What is the difference between adopting and fostering?

Adoption means that you own the animal whereas fostering means that you are a temporary caregiver for that animal until it can be adopted by someone else.

How can I help make a difference?

You can help make a lasting impact by

  • Donating to our cause.

  • Adopting / fostering a pet.
