German Shepherd Dogs
Cape Town area
(19/06/08)

Mother (4) & daughter (2). The mother is spayed and daughter will be spayed before owner emigrates. The mother has a tattoo and all her papers. The daughter is thoroughbred but was not registered.  Both healthy animals and inoculated. Both reared in a family & loved by all. They do not come into contact with other dogs and don't know what a cat looks like.  Looking for experienced GSD owners living on a large property who will be willing to adopt these dogs as part of their family, not as outside-living guard dogs. Will need to be kept on a veterinary balanced diet. (Eukanuba, Hills, Vets Choice) Home checks will definitely be done.

Boerboel
Port Elizabeth area
(19/06/08)

Jemma is a 6 year old, small (33kg), spayed Boerboel bitch. She is loving and well-trained to walk on and off a leash and is fully house-trained. Whilst she has never bitten anyone, I have now got grandchildren and she has growled at them a few times and I cannot risk keeping her in case she bites a child. Ordinarily she is very docile and friendly. She is a magnificently healthy dog who I walk for 3 to 5 kms 4 or 5 days a week. She socialises well with other dogs.

Krummel, a 7 year old spayed female wire-haired Terrier, was abandoned when her elderly owner moved into a home. Fed by neighbours, Krummel has spent the last three months alone in a back yard. An Estate agent came across Krummel's plight on the empty property and is desperately seeking a home for her.
