Our Unique Approach

Maltese Rescue provides a home to home service for all Maltese breeds in South Africa. Our aim is to keep them out of any situation where they would have to be in a kennel cage or away from human contact. Maltese who go from one home to another have a much less chance of becoming traumatized and will transition much better in their new home.

• Help dogs transition safely

3. Make a Donation
