Local Furry Faces

We've had an influx of responses for our first local furry residents piece and we just had to show you more cuties loving the beach, trails, and sunshine on the North Coast.

Hi, I’m Ace, a two-year-old border collie with boundless energy. I joined my family at just two months old as a very special surprise for my human’s second birthday. I look forward to my weekly doggy daycare sessions, where I get to socialise with my furry friends. My favourite spot on the North Coast is the beach near Surfer’s Lane (Sable Road). I can barely contain my excitement in the back seat! As soon as the car door opens, I race straight into the waves. I have my own unique way of asking for attention – either by gently grabbing your fingers for a game of tug-of-war or letting out a small, endearing howl that’s impossible to ignore.

Woof! Odi at your service. I am a purebred, KUSA-registered six-year-old Belgian Malinois. I love going on car rides and playing fetch. Being a fully trained search-and-rescue dog, my sniffer never stops working, so no hiding treats or roasts in the oven. My favourite spot is Ballito Farmers Market because of the tasty dog-friendly treats. I am an absolute love bug. I demand affection all day, every day, and I have no concept of personal space.

Rosie here! I am a 15-year-old Percheron mare; a real diva. I love photo shoots on the beach. My favourite place is my home at Anlana Stables, where I hang out with all my friends, and I’m thoroughly spoiled there. It is a beautiful spot surrounded by cane and has lovely outrides, which I enjoy. My favourite way to get affection is when I nudge you with my nose.

Heya! I’m Arrow Gator. I am a five-year-old Belgian Malinois with endless drive and heart. I thrive on having a job and daily outdoor adventures. I love mantrailing and canicross, and I am on my journey to IGP1. I love the DTA (Dog Training Academy) Obedience workshop! My favourite spot on the North Coast is Holla Trails – home to BarkRun every Wednesday! It’s the perfect place to safely run on-leash. Hidden talent? My incredible nose. And if you're looking for affection from me, just spark an intense work or play session – that's when you'll see it shining in my eyes, play session over cuddles any day!
