I collect all the hair from grooming the dogs and spin it on a spinning wheel, colour it and knit or crochet – these scarves were made from Orion’s hair. It is time consuming – taking 8 hours to make a ball of wool, but definitely worth the effort.

My book I wrote about Oscar is now available through Amazon as an eBook or paperback.

See everything the JOY Dogs got up to in 2022, they were really busy!

The JOY Dogs travel around the country in a Suzuki Ertiga, specially fitted out for them. They stay in pet friendly accommodation – this was in Bloemfontein.

Jade, Orion and Yola at Mall of the South – they visit the shopping centre every Wednesday around 10.30 and brighten everyone’s day. They are well behaved and welcomed at Just Darling where we have coffee. They are happy to make you happy – look at their smiles!

We’ve found the best groomer for the JOY Dogs in Midstream Estates. They did such a good job we are going back. They were so caring and gentle with them. We highly recommend them if you are looking for a good pet groomer.
