Zoey was already over 10 years old when she stayed with us in 2020. She returned to her owners but returned to us in April 2024. She had arthritis, luxiating patellas, a zest for life and food and no fear of bigger dogs! Her little body gave up in October 2024.
Bandit is a 7 year old ex-Inanda KZN Valley dog who was diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia at the age of 1 – he wouldn’t have survived long where he was. He’s been at Silver Paws since he was a few months old and is a loved, spoilt boy who walks wonky but can run like the wind (sort of!).
Mkuze came to Silver Paws in May 2019. She was rescued next to the road in Mkuze, KZN. She was suffering from biliary and looked like a walking skeleton. She turned into a gentle giant whose tail was always wagging, even though she had arthritis. We had to let her go on 13 August 2024 when her back legs gave in.
Astro came to us in January 2023, when he was already 13 years old. His owner passed away and he had nowhere to go. He’s a gentle, laidback boy who loves food.
