Sphelele arrived from Cinderella Animal Rescue in February 2022. She was 7 years old and had had numerous litters of pups. Her spleen had to be removed after she was rescued. She is a quiet, shy girl who just loves to be close to her humans.

Polly arrived in February 2022 from Port Nolloth, via Paw Prints Rescue & Rehoming, with her friend North. They had been living on the streets. They are extremely bonded and do everything together. She has a deformed front leg but it has never slowed her down.

Bella joined Silver Paws in March 2016, before we officially started. Her owners moved and rehomed all their dogs. She is about 11 years old now. She used to bark hysterically at thunder but is much calmer now that her hearing is not so acute anymore. She absolutely loves cuddling up to people.

Sassy, a 9 year old Dachshund cross, arrived in April 2023.  Her owner abandoned her when they moved. The new tenants took care of her until they also had to move. She loves barking and eating and knows she’s the queen, sleeping under a blanket, winter or summer.

Crinkles is a Shar Pei who came to Silver Paws in November 2021 via Feel Good Funding. He was then 9 years old. His owner had passed away and he had nowhere to go after her house was sold. He’s a strong boy who loves shaking paw and loves getting visitors.
