About The
Africanis
Network
Africa's dog —
rescued, rehabilitated, rehomed.
"The Africanis is Africa's dog — ancient, resilient, and deserving of the love and respect of every South African."
The Africanis Assistance Network is a registered non-profit company founded in 2021 with a single belief: every Africanis deserves a loving, permanent home.
We rescue dogs from shelters, abusive situations, and the streets — rehabilitating them physically and emotionally before carefully matching them with the right family.
Our work is rooted in community-centred rescue — working alongside local communities to break cycles of neglect and build lasting change for these remarkable animals.
Our Values
Everything we do is guided by three core principles.
01
Rescue First
We respond to neglect and abuse, pulling dogs from dangerous situations and giving them immediate safety and care.
02
Community-Centred
We work alongside local communities to address the root causes of neglect and build lasting, meaningful change.
03
Forever Homes
We match every dog with a family that truly fits their personality — no shortcuts, no compromises.
