It’s me again — Lucky 😁

No one has responded seriously to my adoption post yet and the hoomans say their flabbers are gasted because I'm simply the best! (So that must be true) 😁

I learn quickly, I love to play, and I take my nap game very seriously. 🤓 My favourite toys are old socks (See? Low maintenance. Very chill.)

I’m still in foster care, but I can’t stay here forever. My foster home is already full with older rescue dogs who prefer a quiet life, so I really need my own forever place soon 🙏

Please don’t wait too long… I’m ready to go home 🐶🤎

If you think I could be your new best friend, please contact 082 235 5156 about adopting me.

🐾 **Happy 6th Adoptaversary, Riley!** 🐾

A little late, but it always brings a smile to our faces to receive updates like this.

Riley was adopted from the shelter in 2020, and her story is one we still laugh about today. When she first arrived at the shelter, she was in such poor condition that we genuinely thought she was a boy! Imagine everyone's surprise when "he" was collected and turned out to be a girl. 😄

Since then, her owner has made sure Riley knows exactly what a beautiful girl she is, and she has clearly been living her best life ever since.

Today, Riley celebrates her **6th Adoptaversary** alongside her sister, and we couldn't be happier to see how loved and cherished she is. Thank you to her family for giving her the wonderful life she deserves and for sharing these special updates with us.

Here's to many more years of love, adventures, and happy memories together! ❤️🐾

PUBLIC NOTICE

We are aware of reports regarding the dogs involved in the recent fatal incident in Klerksdorp.

The Orkney & Klerksdorp Animal Shelter would like to clarify that we did not make, nor were we involved in, the decision to euthanise the dogs. The owner of the dogs, together with SAPS, contacted a private veterinary service, and the decision to euthanise the animals was made by them.

We would also like to clarify that we are not an SPCA, but an independent, privately funded animal shelter. Although some reports and public comments have referred to our organisation as an SPCA, this is incorrect. We are a separate organisation with a different mandate and do not possess the statutory powers or responsibilities of an SPCA.

Our role was limited to assisting with the safe handling and transport of the dogs due to concerns regarding their aggressive behaviour and the risk of further injuries to members of the public. We assisted to help ensure the safety of everyone involved and to prevent any further attacks or injuries.

We extend our sincere condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased during this difficult time.

Thank you for your understanding.

Meet Lucky. 🍀

Lucky earned his name after an close call this past Weekend. A kind member of the public brought him to us after spotting him running through traffic in the CBD. In the chaos, a taxi drove right over him. Miraculously, he wasn't struck and was pushed clear of the road by the force.

Somehow, Lucky walked away without a single injury.
We placed him in foster care to monitor him and make sure he was truly okay. While he escaped the accident unharmed, he arrived filthy, full of worms, ticks and fleas, and hungry.

Today, Lucky is a completely different little pup. He's clean, healthy, and his personality is shining through. He is friendly, social, and affectionate without being demanding. He's almost fully house-trained, sleeps through the night, and his favourite thing in the world is curling up with an old slipper to sleep beside. ❤️

No one has come forward to claim Lucky.

So now we're hoping Lucky's luck hasn't run out.
Could you be the family he's been waiting for?

To meet and adopt Lucky, contact 082 235 5156.
