Who We Are

About Us

The KZN Doghouse is a registered Non-Profit Organisation (NPO) and Public Benefit Organisation (PBO) located in Queensburgh, Durban. Since opening our gates in 2021, we’ve proudly operated as a no-kill animal shelter, dedicated to providing a second chance at life for neglected, abused, and injured dogs.

Every year, we care for hundreds of dogs and puppies, offering them not just food and shelter—but love, rehabilitation, and the hope of a forever home. To date, we’ve assisted over 800 animals in need, thanks to the ongoing support of our compassionate community.

What Makes Us Different

We believe every dog deserves a safe, warm, and loving home. That’s why we work tirelessly to not only help the animals in our care but also to empower pet owners in our surrounding community with affordable access to critical services like vaccinations and sterilizations.

No-Kill Policy

Every life matters. We provide care for each dog until they find their forever family.

Community-Based Support

From outreach to low-cost veterinary services, we’re here for people and their pets. 

Volunteer-Driven

Our dedicated volunteers are the heart of our operation—bathing, feeding, and socializing dogs in preparation for adoption.

The Adoption Journey

Our adoption process is simple, compassionate, and focused on finding the perfect match. We require:
