Uitsig Animal Rescue Centre don’t believe in having animals in cages and fortunately we have the space. Our dogs are housed in “units”. These “units” consist of grassed fenced camps. We find that the animals are far happier in this environment. Our policy is on of NO euthanasia, except when the animal is suffering and cannot be rehabilitated. The animals stay with us until they find the perfect home. We work very closely with the dogs on a daily basis and because of this intimacy we are able to place them in exactly the right environment. We also believe in all our dogs going out with basic training. So many times these poor souls are returned to the rescue centres, not because they are problems, but because they have no idea how to behave and interact in the home environment. One of our dreams is to eventually train some of these dogs to become companion animals to the deaf, blind and handicapped. To take these dogs who have been “thrown away”, give them a job and forever change their lives and the lives of the people they serve. This is our main goal.

Adopting a Puppy
Please note the following with adopting a puppy:
Puppies need to be fed 3 Times a day, in order to be approved with puppy adoptions you’ll need to be home or have someone at home during the day.
You will have to have other dog friends for the puppy. Dogs are Pack animals and it is not fair toward the animal to be an alone pet.
Puppies may not be sterilized before the age of 6 months, if your adoptee is younger than 6 months you’ll have to return him/her to our centre for his / her sterilization. Please contact us close to the time to make an appointment.
