# Animal welfare groups are encouraging South Africans to adopt rescue dogs instead of buying pets ahead of World Rescue Dog Day today. FOUR PAWS’ Fiona Miles says over four-million animals are homeless, however adoption offers them safe heavens to call home. Miles says every adoption eases shelter pressure and changes lives. She emphasised that rescue dogs are not broken, they’re simply waiting for a second chance.
