The So Adoptable founding team is made
up of Tarryn-Lee Warner, Aimee de la Harpe
and Nadia van der Walt. The three friends,
all animal rescue volunteers as well as
“furparents”, decided to pool their individual
skills to create this social media project
with the objective of driving the concept of
volunteerism and adoption through shelters.
“What we hoped to do was create a much
needed bridge between shelters and the
general public. Seeing a quirky or cute picture
of an animal makes it easier for people to
imagine them as a happy dog part of their
family.”
Philips AVENT Soothie Pacifier
Milestone Cards
Through creative marketing, So Adoptable
hopes to overcome some of the challenges
facing the shelter such as their relatively isolated
location in Greenbushes, as well as the problem
of overcrowding due to their status as a “no-kill”
shelter.
We took the time to chat to the team at So
Adoptable about the importance of adopting
your new family member from an animal
shelter.
Love My Body Creations, R240
This versatile top can be worn throughout
pregnancy and is also ideal for breast
feeding. Available in: black, white, grey,
berry, coral, navy & white stripe
Adoption is an opportunity for parents to
instil life-long values with their children.
Not only will they learn that it is better
to “adopt, don’t shop”, but visiting
animal shelters can teach them about
compassion and caring for other living
creatures.

Sophie the Giraffe
Melody’s Baby Shop, R???
A first sensory development toy for baby. This
popular product has lots of parts for baby to
chew on while teething.
Adding to the ongoing success of social media
projects in highlighting the plight of animal
shelters globally, the team wanted to create
that kind of project for one of Port Elizabeth’s
oldest (and fullest) shelters, Save-a-Pet in
Greenbushes.
One of the adorable candidates up for adoption.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Any and all donations of food and
other necessities are always appreciated
by Save-a-Pet, however most of their
expenses go towards the medical care
of their animals. Cash donations make a
huge impact, and no amount is too small
as it all adds up.
Other ongoing needs:
- Tick/flea products such as Nexguard,
Bravecto, Frontline etc
- materials and funds to build a muchneeded cattery
- donations of second-hand goods to
their charity shop
