“We want to adopt the dog that's been here the longest

Talk about music to our ears! When an amazing family visited our SPCA on Mandela Day, this was their request. And we couldn’t have heard anything more welcome! Because for six months, we’d been trying so hard to find a home for Taylor, who arrived here as a stray in January.

Every time a visitor walked past her kennel, she’d rush to greet them, tail wagging furiously and wearing her best smile. But no one ever stopped. Time after time, it was another dog that was chosen and poor Taylor’s tail would droop dejectedly.

Metaphorically holding thumbs, we introduced the family to Taylor, and it was love at first sight. Next day, she went home with them and spent her first afternoon playing at the beach with her new family.

Don’t you just love happy endings – or rather, happy beginnings? Here’s to a long and happy life for this special dog!

LOOKING FOR A BEST FRIEND?

Look no further than our SPCA, where a selection of cute cats and dogs are waiting to meet you. When you adopt from the SPCA, you not only get a furry friend, you also save a life.

Your new pet comes with a health check, vaccinations, micro-chip and free collar and ID disk. He or she will also be sterilised to prevent unwanted litters. More questions? Call adoptions on 031 579 6525 or email kennels@spcadbn.org.za.
