Adoption

Roger Adopted!

Roger Adopted!

Abandoned with 4 other puppies in a cemetery in April, Roger is the last of his family to find a home, with Karen, Jayden and family.  He was all set to follow Rain, Roddy and Reggie on their new journeys when the Distemper outbreak this year that took so many young lives, including Roger's brother Richie, suspended our adoptions for a couple of months.

He loves his walks, and we had him leash trained, but through bad luck he happened to be bunking with little Ozzy who tested positive for Distemper in August, so poor Roger had to quarantine all over again with Ozzy. 


Finally he's got his chance, and he looks like he's settled in already!  Good luck Roger, and thanks Karen, Jayden and family for taking him in.  You can read Roger's full story on his profile page.

Ferdi Adopted!

Ferdi Adopted!

The only survivor of 10 puppies abandoned illegally close to the Sanctuary in a number of sacks, Ferdi was taken home by Ed and Sharon on Saturday 2 October 2021.  Brother Floyd was also about to be adopted, but sadly succumbed to Parvovirus on 22 September 2021.  Ferdi battled on in a separate quarantine unit, and was finally cleared for adoption in late September. 

It's tragic that of the 10 puppies that came to the Sanctuary in August, just Ferdi made it through, but such young puppies taken from their mothers are always at much greater risk from virulent diseases such as Distemper and Parvo. We hope Ferdi lives a full happy life in tribute to the lives barely begun - Floyd, Fiona, Fonzi, Flynn, Frodo, Tulip, Bonnie, Rose and Vincent.

Roxy Adopted!

Roxy Adopted!

The final Super Saturday adoption!


Roxy was an early Christmas gift, dumped in a sack on 24 December 2020 outside the Sanctuary.  She was an immediate hit with the staff and volunteers, being a bundle of energy and very affectionate.  We couldn't be happier that after a long wait, she has been taken in by Eren, who adopted Biscuit earlier in the year, so Roxy will have a playmate!

We're not denying we are a little sad to see Roxy go - she loved walks with volunteer Jonathan, where she would run free, tumbling and tussling with Tin Tin - but this is what DAS is all about; taking in the unwanted and unloved, showing them care and affection, possibly for the first time in their unfortunate lives, and finding them the homes they deserve to spend their days with love and dignity.


If you think you could provide a home for life, without cages and chains, for one of our rescues, then please get in touch.  There are so many worthy dogs waiting for you on the Rescues page. 


You can find out more about Roxy on her profile page here.  Bye bye Roxy, and good luck!

Brown Adopted!

Brown Adopted!

Super Saturday adoption number two of four!


Brown was abandoned on the street by a neighbour of Stephanie, so she fed him regularly until he disappeared for six months.  When he returned, he had contracted cancer and would have died a long and agonising death had Stephanie not agreed to raise funds for his treatment, and adopt him when he was better.

We are delighted to say that following surgery, and a course of chemotherapy, Brown is well enough for Stephanie to bring him back home.  Such an excellent way to end a story of abandonment and a welcome boost to us to know that there are people out there willing to support these seemingly impossible recoveries.   You can find out more about Brown on his profile page here.  

Chemo treatments like this are expensive, and we are desperately short of funds.  If you can spare a few dollars or pesos, even a small amount, it can make such a difference.  Two further dogs, Beth and Blake benefited from the medication we were able to buy with the support of donors like you.  Please help us save more lives by visiting our Donations page.

Levi Adopted Again!

Levi Adopted Again!

Super Saturday adoption number one of four!


Levi was originally adopted on 11 September 2021, but was returned a short period later as the owner had developed an allergic reaction to him.  Luckily for Levi, Daniel came along and swept him up in his arms for a second chance at a permanent home. You can find out more about Levi on his profile page here.

Finding a permanent, loving home is the ultimate goal for our rescues at DAS.  If you think you could provide a home for life, without cages and chains, for one of our rescues, then please look for more information here.
