Founded in 2015, Pekingese Haven is more than just a rescue — it’s a safe haven for abandoned, neglected, surrendered, and forgotten Pekingese dogs across South Africa. As a registered non-profit company (NPC 2015/397299/08), we are dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming Pekingese dogs with compassion and commitment.
What started as a passion project quickly became a life-saving mission. We’ve seen it all — from severely abused dogs to well-loved pets whose families could no longer care for them. Every Peke that comes through our gates receives full medical care, emotional rehabilitation, and a warm, loving foster environment while waiting for their forever home.
We believe in second chances — but only the right ones. That’s why our adoption and foster processes are structured, respectful, and responsible. Every home is carefully screened to ensure our Pekes are placed with people who truly understand their needs and quirks.

Pekingese Haven isn’t just a rescue — we offer top-quality grooming, daycare, and boarding services for all small-breed dogs. We treat every client’s dog with the same love and care we give our rescues. Plus, all revenue from services supports our rescue mission.
As a non-profit, we rely entirely on the kindness of our community. From monthly donors and once-off sponsors to volunteers and fosters — you are the lifeblood of Pekingese Haven. Every cent goes back into saving lives and giving these little lion-dogs the futures they deserve.
Behind every pair of soulful Peke eyes is a story of survival — and a future waiting to be written. At Pekingese Haven, we don’t just rescue dogs — we restore dignity, build trust, and celebrate resilience. Each adoption, each cuddle, each happy bark is a chapter in a new beginning. Join us in changing lives, one tail at a time.
Whether you’re looking to adopt, foster, donate, or book grooming services — you’re part of something bigger. You’re giving forgotten dogs a voice, a home, and a chance.
