The entry fee is R20 adults, R10 children and R10 dogs.

The venue is situated at 80/1 Nielson Road, Benoni Agricultural Holdings. The day will run from noon until 5pm.
Pekingese Rescue of South Africa is a non-profit organisation and relies entirely on the public’s donations and fundraising to save and re-home Pekingese dogs.
They rescue and receive Pekingese from many locations, ranging from shelters and humane organisations to family pets regretfully given up by their caring owners for reasons beyond their control.
All the Pekes received are groomed when turned in, receive professional medical evaluation and attention, and undergo any treatment necessary to lead a normal life. Next they are placed in competent foster homes where they are evaluated for habits, likes and dislikes.
Each Pekingese remains in its foster home until a suitable permanent home is located. Basic obedience and manners are taught when possible. All Pekingese are neutered or spayed before placement for adoption.
Anyone wishing to adopt a Peke is also evaluated. The organisation does not sell Pekes but does request an adoption fee, which varies from Peke to Peke.
