female bull terrier looking for forever home |
|
Hello All!
My name is Talita.....I am a one (and a bit) year old female bull terrier looking for my forever home....
 My foster mom and dad rescued me from two very bad men after i was sold for R 200.00 tik money........I was on my way to a bad place and if my foster mom and dad had not arrived when they did, I am not sure if I would be alive today........
I am a fun loving, well socialized little girl. I love playing with my two foster brothers and sister. I dote on love and kisses, thrive on attention and love my walks! Because I've had such a rocky past life and could never really call a place 'home', my foster mom and dad prefer that I sleep inside, all warm, cosy and safe.
I have been sterilized, had all my shots, I am a healthy little girl ready for my new loving home and love fellow animal friends and little people!
Because of my bad start in life, my foster parents have very strict adoption criteria in place to ensure my wellbeing ofcourse.
My adoption will be subject to a R 450 adoption fee (for cost of my shots ) as well as property inspection and follow up visits once I have settled in.
I you have fallen in love with me and would like to bring me into your loving home, please contact my foster mom or dad on the following numbers/email:

Rufus. Or ‘All about a dog.’
Rufus looks like Rover from “The Giggler Treatment” by Roddy Doyle. He is half Bouvier, a long-haired, scruffy black dog. He was playing with a blue rubber ball that he’d found in the park. Trevor was kicking it for him and speaking to the visitor in our garden. “Four months ago this dog was completely paralysed”. 
It was the 12th of June, the middle of winter, and Rufus arrived home from his morning walk in the arms of Trevor.

POO GUIDELINES
COMPELLING REASONS TO ALWAYS PICK UP YOUR DOG’S POO
- A poo-free park is more beautiful – and healthy.
-
It’s preferable not to annoy or embarrass other park users.
- None of us want to endanger the health of children who play in the park.
- You will know immediately if your dog has worms or a digestive problem and can treat the problem.
- It is illegal not to pick up after your dog (the fine is R250).
-
Poo packets are available free of charge at strategic points in the park and are financed through subscription fees of the members of “Friends of de Waal Park”.
