Three dogs, all aged about two years, are up for adoption from the Ark Animal Centre this week.

Ark is situated in the Chartwell area and is a shelter that cares for canines in need, with a particular focus on pregnant dogs and puppies. Besides rescuing dogs in need, the non-profit organisation also provides veterinary care to sick and injured animals and works to re-home them into forever families.

Hutch is a two-year-old Pekingese-cross Jack Russell male. An absolute character, Hutch is a very active dog with lots of energy, loves to play and gets along well with other dogs.

People who wish to adopt a dog are asked to visit the shelter premises to meet the animal, fill in an adoption application and submit to reference checks as well as a home check if they are a first-time dog owner. For puppies there is an adoption fee of R1 500 (which includes their first two inoculations, de-worming, the placement of a microchip and sterilisation). For dogs over one-year-old, the adoption fee is R950 (includes all inoculations, rabies, de-worming and sterilisation).
