🐾🤎 ELLIE IS LOOKING FOR HER FOREVER HOME! 🤎🐾

Meet our beautiful Ellie! 🥹🐶

Ellie is a 1-year-old mix-breed (she just turned 1, so still very puppy) girl who has been with us since she was a tiny 5-week-old puppy. We personally collected her from her owner, and we met both her mom and dad — both were proper Boerboels. ❤️

Ellie was part of a litter where every single puppy contracted Parvo, which was why they were surrendered to us. Sadly, we believe this may have affected her growth, which could explain why she never grew into the size you would expect from her Boerboel parents.

However, we do have to be honest — we cannot say with 100% certainty that both of the puppies’ parents were the dogs we were told they were. There is always the possibility that the neighbours’ dog may have gotten to her mom. 😂 Because if we’re being completely honest, Ellie doesn’t really carry any obvious Boerboel traits, and she certainly doesn’t look like a typical Boerboel mix! 🐶❤️

Whatever her DNA may say, one thing we know for sure is that Ellie is absolutely wonderful. 🥰

She was adopted as a puppy, but unfortunately, her adoption didn’t work out and she was returned to us. 💔

🐶 ABOUT ELLIE:

✨ 1 year old
✨ Mix breed — both parents we met were Boerboels
✨ Socialised with big, medium and small dogs
✨ Lived on a farm with cattle, chickens and horses 🐄🐓🐴
✨ Absolutely fantastic with children 👧❤️
✨ Can live with active or chilled dogs
✨ Very adaptable and adjusts quickly
✨ LOVES toys — especially her ball! 🎾
✨ Loves nothing more than a good couch 🛋️😂
✨ If she can eat and spend the day on the couch, she’s in absolute heaven!
✨ She’s funny with cats, she’ll be okay with them until they run then she’ll run after them but not in an aggressive way but we obviously don’t want them to accidentally get hurt

Ellie is honestly the type of dog who can fit into almost any household. If your dogs want to run and play, she’s happy to join them. If they prefer lounging around, she’s equally happy to kick back on the couch. 😂❤️

She is sterilised and fully vaccinated and ready to find the family she can finally stay with forever. 🏡🐾

And because we really want to give this girl a chance at the home she deserves, her adoption fee will ONLY be the diesel costs for us to do her home check and introduction if you already have other dogs. ❤️

She has already had one adoption fall through. Please let this one be forever. 🥺❤️

📲 WhatsApp ONLY (NO calls): 068 690 7045
🏡 Home checks apply
📍 Based in Boksburg

💕 If you’re looking for a beautiful, social, adaptable couch-loving girl with a love for balls and a heart of gold — Ellie could be your girl!

Please share her post. 🙏🏼🐾

Ellie deserves to finally know what “forever” means. ❤️

DO PEOPLE REALLY THINK THAT THOSE OF US WHO RUN RESCUES DON’T HAVE HEARTS?

Do people genuinely believe that because we run animal rescues, we somehow stop having feelings, emotions and hearts?

I get a phone call from someone who says:

“I need to rehome my Pitbull today. She’s 7 years old and has spent her entire life living inside the house.”

After hearing the circumstances, I explain that putting this dog into kennels at seven years old, after a lifetime of being a house dog, could be incredibly traumatic for her. In her particular circumstances, I would rather see humane euthanasia considered than subject her to a life of confinement, stress and confusion.

And then comes the next question:

“Can’t you just come fetch her, then take her and have her put down?”

Excuse me?

Do people actually think that’s an easy thing to ask someone?

Do you think it doesn’t hurt me to even have that conversation? Do you think I enjoy having to discuss euthanasia? Do you think I don’t picture that seven-year-old girl, who has done absolutely nothing wrong, and feel absolutely heartbroken?

I DON’T EVEN KNOW THIS DOG, AND IT STILL HURTS.

Just because I run a rescue doesn’t mean I’ve become immune to suffering. It doesn’t mean I can switch off my emotions, put an animal to sleep and carry on with my day as if nothing happened.

We carry stories home with us. We remember the faces. We remember the phone calls. We think about the animals we couldn’t help, the ones we had to say no to, and the ones whose situations have no happy ending.

And sometimes, the hardest part of running a rescue isn’t the physical work, the cleaning, the feeding, the vet bills or the fundraising.

It’s having to make heartbreaking decisions while everyone expects you to remain strong.

WE HAVE HEARTS TOO!!!!!

We cry. We get angry. We get frustrated. We get overwhelmed. We lose sleep. We question ourselves. We carry guilt for things that were never ours to carry in the first place.

Please remember that when you phone a rescue, you’re not speaking to an emotionless organisation. You’re speaking to human beings who have dedicated so much of their lives to animals.

We are not dumping grounds. We are not a solution to every irresponsible decision. And we are certainly not people who can simply take an animal and have it euthanised without it affecting us.

Please, show a little compassion towards the people who spend their lives trying to give animals a second chance.

Because sometimes, the people who fight the hardest for animals are also the ones whose hearts are breaking the most. ❤️

🐾🧡 MALINOIS X GOLDEN RETRIEVER — LOOKING FOR AN EXPERIENCED HOME! 🧡🐾

This beautiful girl is a Malinois × Golden Retriever mix, and although she may have some Golden Retriever in her, she definitely seems to have inherited plenty of that Malinois energy! 😂🐕💨

If you know the breed, you’ll understand exactly what we mean! 🤣

🎂 DATE OF BIRTH: 31 JULY 2026

She is still a very young puppy with lots of growing, learning and developing ahead of her. ❤️ But don’t let her age fool you — this girl is already showing signs of that busy, intelligent, high-energy Malinois personality!

✨ A LITTLE ABOUT HER:

🐶 Malinois × Golden Retriever
🎂 Born 31 July 2026
⚡ High energy and always on the go
🧠 Intelligent and needs mental stimulation
🎓 Will benefit from consistent, positive training
🏡 Needs an experienced, committed home

This girl is NOT going to be suited to just any home.

Although she is still very young, she will need a family prepared to put in the time and effort to raise her correctly. Malinois-type dogs are intelligent working dogs who thrive when given structure, guidance and a purpose.

She’ll need more than a daily walk! She will benefit from age-appropriate exercise, mental enrichment, socialisation and consistent training as she grows. ❤️

We’re looking for an experienced home that understands working breeds and is committed to helping her develop into a well-mannered, confident adult dog.

With the right guidance, patience and commitment, she has the potential to become an incredible companion. 🥹🐾

❤️ PLEASE BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF BEFORE APPLYING.

She’s still a baby, but she needs a family who is prepared for the dog she may grow into — not just the adorable puppy she is today!

📲 Contact us via WhatsApp ONLY (NO calls) on +27 (0)68 690 7045 for more information.

💰 Adoption Fee: R1600
🏡 Home checks apply
📍 Pup is based in Boksburg

‼️ PLEASE NOTE ‼️

We cannot always guarantee the size or breed of our rescued dogs unless we have personally seen both mom and dad.

If you are adopting from outside Gauteng and already have a dog, you will need to bring your dog through for a proper introduction.

We do not send dogs off and “hope for the best” — we prioritise the safety and success of every placement. This is non-negotiable and in the best interest of all animals involved. ❤️🐾
