Former president Nelson Mandela faced numerous challenges and oppression until his release from prison on February 11, 1990. He had spent 27 years behind bars.
Many animals at The Animal Guardians (TAG) dream of the opportunity to walk into the freedom of a loving ‘fur-ever’ home.

Born differently yet created to stand out. Chino is a Belgian Malinois-cross at heart, despite being a paw short. This bright boy can be selective with other canine companions, but his gentle nature makes him the ideal family pet. Photo: Jani de Beer.
