We are challenging 100,000 individuals to donate only R10 to help us reach our goal of R1,000,000. These donations will go toward the primary care of the animals who are in need of rehabilitation.

How you are making a difference.

The #WeCan campaign encourages animal lovers of all ages, to walk this mile-to-a million with us. You are one of 100,000 individuals who have decided to help our four & three-legged friends like Misty, Mo, Star, Percy & Michael. The AACL Cape Town sees in excess of 50,000 animals and the characters who you’ve heard about are only five of them! You can donate R10 to any of the characters you choose and your donation will enable us to continue caring for our furry friends, as well as those still to come!

Help us to get to 300 adoptions as soon as possible.

If your heart and home is ready for a pet, choose a pet that needs your love the most.

Save a precious life, change a dear animal’s destiny and enrich your life by adopting.

Saving Lives, One Pug at a Time: The Heartwarming Mission of Pug Rescue South Africa

Every dog deserves a life filled with love, warmth, and belly rubs—but sadly, not all pugs get that chance. Some are abandoned, neglected, or left behind due to no fault of their own. That’s where Pug Rescue South Africa comes in, offering these little souls a second chance at happiness. Whether you’re looking to adopt, volunteer, or support their mission, you can be a part of their rescue story.

A Haven for Pugs in Need

Since 2008, Pug Rescue South Africa has been a lifeline for over 2,500 pugs, giving them the care and love they deserve. Nestled in Benoni, Gauteng, this sanctuary is more than just a shelter—it’s a home where once-forgotten dogs get a fresh start.
At any given time, around 165 rescued dogs call this place their haven. While pugs remain the heart of the mission, the sanctuary also takes in “honorary pugs”—other small breeds who have nowhere else to go.

Here, every rescue is treated like family. They receive:

✔️ Top-notch veterinary care for any medical needs
✔️ Nutritious food to regain their strength
✔️ A warm, comfortable space filled with love and care

And most importantly? They’re given hope.

How You Can Change a Pug’s Life

Not all heroes wear capes—some just open their hearts to a dog in need. Here’s how you can make a difference:

1. Adopt and Give a Pug Their Forever Home
Could you be the missing piece in a rescue pug’s story? If you’re ready for endless snuggles and silly antics, consider adopting.
Adoption fees:
R1,800 for adult pugs
R3,000 for puppies (when available)

2. Sponsor a Pug in Need
Not ready to adopt? Sponsoring a sanctuary pug helps cover their food, medical care, and daily needs. It’s a beautiful way to love a rescue from afar.

3. Donate – Every Bit Helps!
Every donation—big or small—helps keep tails wagging and hearts full. Your generosity provides medical care, food, and shelter to the dogs who need it most.

4. Leave a Legacy of Love
By including Pug Rescue South Africa in your will, you ensure that your love for animal’s lives on, providing care for rescued pugs long into the future.

5. Volunteer and Be a Rescue Angel
Love dogs? Your time, energy, and compassion can mean the world to a pug in need. From walking and cuddling pugs to helping at events, your hands and heart are needed.

6. Support the Thanda Inja Project
Imagine being a pet owner who loves their dog but can’t afford basic vet care. That’s the reality for many in underprivileged communities. Through this project, Pug Rescue provides free veterinary care and sterilization, making life better for both dogs and their owners.

7. Join the Rescue Family!
Whether you adopt, donate, or volunteer, you become a part of their journey—a journey from abandonment to unconditional love.
