Redemption Dogs Rescue and Rehab is a dedicated non-profit animal welfare o

rganisation focused on rescuing and rehabilitating dogs across the Western Cape and beyond. Guided by a pro-life philosophy, we provide each dog with the highest standards of care, addressing both their physical and psychological needs. Beyond our rescue efforts, we engage in community outreach to educate and support pet owners, fostering a compassionate community committed to the humane treatment and holistic welfare of all animals. We believe that the emotional scars inflicted on dogs are as devastating as the physical, and that every dog—regardless of breed or past trauma—deserves a shot at redemption! Through our comprehensive approach to rescue, rehabilitation, and education, we strive to create a world where every dog is valued, cared for, and given the opportunity to lead a joyful life. Vision Statement:
At Redemption Dogs Rescue and Rehab, we envision a future where communities are united in their commitment to the humane treatment and holistic welfare of all animals, fostering empathy, understanding and kindness in every interaction. Mission Statement:
Redemption Dogs Rescue and Rehab is dedicated to transforming lives—both canine and human. We rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs in need, addressing not only their physical needs but also their emotional and psychological scars. Our mission extends beyond rescue. Through comprehensive behavioural rehabilitation, we address the deep-seated traumas that affect not only the dogs but also the community. Emotional scars in dogs can manifest as behavioural issues, leading to abandonment or abuse, perpetuating a cycle of suffering and neglect. By healing these dogs, we aim to break this cycle and create a ripple effect of compassion and understanding. We believe that educating the youth and broader community about the emotionality and sentience of dogs fosters a more empathetic and caring society. By teaching the importance of addressing dogs' emotional needs alongside their physical ones, we cultivate a culture of respect and kindness that extends to human relationships as well. This holistic approach enhances the welfare of dogs and nurtures a community where people treat each other with greater compassion and respect.

Hello! I am Nikita.

I was first spotted in November 2024, hiding under an abandoned car. I came out only before sunrise to look for food while the others slept. I was emaciated, my body used up for breeding. Still young.

One of the community leaders kept an eye on me while Redemption Dogs delivered food each week until there was space and funding to take me in.

Finally, that day came. I was sterilised the same week. During surgery, the vet found my spleen enlarged from ehrlichia. I was placed on treatment immediately. I recovered. I always do.

Now I live at the Redemption Dogs farm. I get along well with most dogs with proper introduction. I even help keep the young ones in line! They call me the sassy-mama.

I’ve learned that I love people. I love having someone to follow. Someone to lie next to. Someone to belong to.

At my young age, I’ve gotten used to being the mama. And I don’t know what it’s like to be somebody’s baby…
But I want to!

I’m ready to learn. I’m ready to love. I’m ready to go home!

Rupert is home!

He’s living on a beautiful farm with all the space a ridgeback could dream of. His new mom knows the breed inside and out, and Rupert has slipped right into life alongside his Ridgie siblings, Kimmi and Kai. He’s made friends with the horses, spends his days exploring and playing, and evenings curled up beside his mom to watch the sunset.

We received an overwhelming number of beautiful applications for Rupert, and choosing just one was the challenge of a lifetime. We only wish all of our dogs could have that many doors open to them. But seeing how at peace Rupert is in his new life, our hearts are content that we made the right choice.

We are so grateful for each and every person who took the time to apply. Because of people like you, we know that many more dogs will find their soft landing exactly where they belong! 🤍

Happy ever-after, Rupey.
Cheers to your homing, and the many more to come!

Muzzles are such a great tool!
Not sure why they’re demonised so much?
If your dog is aggressive, reactive, redirects or shows any behaviour that makes you concerned then a muzzle is the safest option as you start to work with the behaviours.

Also please remember if you see a muzzled dog, that owner is trying to keep their dog and your dog safe so don’t throw hate at them - maybe even smile!! Give them plenty of space and appreciate the owner is probably nervous and more worried than you are 🙌

Hi, I’m Nina – but my friends call me Nina Drama.

Not because I’m a diva or anything… I’ve just had a bit of a dramatic start to life.

I was hurt, beaten, and chased, all because I was scared and trying to survive. When they found me, I was hiding in a garage, tied up in ropes, bleeding, and too terrified to move. I didn’t growl. I didn’t bark. I just shut down.

I’ve spent the last few months learning that people can be good. That the world can be safe. That food will come, that hands can be kind, and that there’s joy to be found in things like butt scratches, squeaky toys, and soft blankets.

I’m still young and still learning, so I’ll need someone who sees the whole me, not just where I’ve been, but who I’m becoming. Someone who’ll laugh with me, play with me, train with me, and grow with me. Someone who’ll see my potential and think, “Yes. This girl is worth it.”

I get a little excited around other dogs, but it’s not in a mean way. I just don’t always know how to channel my enthusiasm. I think I could really thrive with a big, calm dog brother to show me the ropes.

I’ve come so far. I’m ready for a home of my own. One that sees me for the survivor I am, but also for the soft, silly, loyal companion I’m meant to be.

If you’ve got love, patience, and a bit of humour, we just might be perfect for each other.

With love,
Nina

What’s even better than Redemption? Prevention!

With today’s community outreach, we helped seven cats and kittens from our community access routine vet care; including sterilisation, vaccination, and parasite treatment.

We look after animals in under-resourced communities by educating their owners in proper care, and by helping them access the vet treatment and nutrition their pets deserve.

Our community outreach work is driven by one purpose: breaking the cycle of suffering before it begins.

Thank you to our partner clinic Animal Rescue Organisation for helping us make this happen.

UPDATE: APPLICATIONS CLOSED

We are extremely thankful for the overwhelming response Rupert has received. 🤍🙏🏼 We received an influx of wonderful applications - if only all our dogs could be this lucky! 🥹
Rupert will be meeting his new family this week, and should all go well, he’ll be spending the long weekend in his new home. 🥰

—————————————————————————

Oh hi there! I’m Rupert.

I’m a Ridgeback boy of about 2 years old, and I’ve been told I’m ridiculously handsome. (Who’s arguing?)

But I’m pretty sure there’s a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking.

What I really want is a family. The kind who’ll let me lie at their feet while they work, or snooze next to them while they Netflix and chill. The kind who’ll take me on adventures, knowing I’m happiest just being by their side.

I bond fast and hard. Show me kindness, feed me a bowl of kibble, and I’ll give you my heart. I adore people. I get along with other dogs. I’m playful, gentle, and full of love.

If you’ve got a very secure yard, with high walls and proper fencing (I’ve done my time on the streets and I’m not taking any chances), and you’re looking for a dog who’ll become your shadow, your couch buddy, and your most loyal friend; look no further!

I’ve got so much love to give.

Teamwork makes the dream work. 🤍🙏🏼

MICROCHIPPING IS EFFECTIVE!

🚨 A White Flash in Traffic! 🚨

Yesterday afternoon, I spotted a white flash darting through traffic on Prince George Drive. It took about 30 minutes, a lot of patience, and stopping traffic in all directions to finally catch this little dude. Luckily, no one was mad at us!

We scanned him for a microchip, and what followed felt like a full-blown detective mission—four organizations worked together to track down his details. Huge thanks to for finally finding the information we needed!

This morning, we are absolutely delighted to report that Coco has been reunited with his family! ❤️🐾

A huge thank you to everyone involved—this is what teamwork and compassion look like!
