Montana’s Adoption Story
18 year old Montana, found as a stray covered in old scars with an open bleeding saddle sore has found his Happy Ever After!
Despite what he has clearly been through in his previous life, his remarkable gentleness and kind personality made us all the more determined to find him a special home.
At the same time, Phillippa contacted the SPCA Horse Care Unit to see if we might have a horse for her to adopt. We got so excited, it felt like destiny.
A meeting was arranged and Phillippa came through to meet Montana.
The smile on her face said it all. This was the boy she had been hoping to find!
While she waited for him to fully recover, she visited him often and their bond grew.
We are so delighted that Montana will now experience the love and respect he so deserves!
Enjoy every moment together, Phillippa and Montana.
Montana now lives at Spes Bona Livery.
Willemien “Mini” (was Tiny)
What a wonderful message and photos we received from new dog-mom, Jana:
Dear SPCA Adoptions Team
I want to give you feedback about little Tiny. As you know, she is now Afrikaans and her name is Willemien. We call her Mini. It fits and she likes het name. She is the sweetest thing. She eats like a beast, and just wants love all the time.
She has come so far. We are feeding her regularly and hope to see her thrive soon. She is so thin, but she is healthy and happy.
Thank you for our small miracle.
Kind regards
Jana

BabyCakes Goes Home – A story of Rags to Riches
BabyCakes is a handsome little six-year-old Welsh X pony who was picked up as a stray. He came in as a stallion with shocking hooves which looked like they had never been trimmed.
We immediately fell in love with his “larger than life” personality and once his impoundment period was up and he had been gelded, we set about finding him a lovely home.
And within just a few weeks, his perfect human saw his pretty face on social media and came to visit him.
It was love at first sight for Jo and the feeling was mutual.
BabyCakes loves people and we are delighted that Jo will continue her Positive Reinforcement training journey with BabyCakes at her livery yard Canterberry Stables in Klapmuts, Paarl.
Jo has decided it is fitting to change his name to Archibald, Duke of Canterbury aka Archie.
Goodbye sweet little man!
We will miss you but we are so happy for you and wish you the very best as this new chapter in your life begins.
Ratatouille – now “Archie”
An update on precious Ratatouille – he has officially been renamed to “Archie”.
Says new dog mom Melanie:
He is doing so well! You’d think he has lived here all his little life – super confident, feisty and food obsessed. He gets along with our other doggies really well too.
Thanks so much!
Melanie
