Pets of the week

This week, it is shared by sisters, Ebony and Minka. The adorable pair of puppies was rescued at around seven weeks old in Isipingo Hills by Pet Rescue Isipingo.

Their mother was a stray that gave birth in someone’s yard. They were full of parasites and their skin was badly infected. Thankfully, they healed with effective veterinary treatment. They will be large-breed as their mother is a Shepherd-Collie cross.

Both Ebony and Minka are friendly and playful and thoroughly enjoy chasing after one another. Should you wish to offer Minka, Ebony or both the puppies a loving home, contact Mahadow on 060 527 0101.
