THE UNDERDOG PROJECT
Get involved today!
The Underdog Project is on a crusade of kindness. Using highly successful animal assisted activities and therapeutic interventions, we teach empathy to youngsters in our communities, and bring joy to rescue dogs.
Inspiring Collective Healing
The Underdog Project is a registered Non-Profit and Public Benefit Organisation working with at-risk youth and shelter dogs in Cape Town, South Africa. The welfare of these two vulnerable groups are of equal importance to us and we have found a creative way to provide mutual benefits to both – teaching empathy, life skills and humane education to underprivileged youth, while bringing joy, mental stimulation and unconditional love to rescue dogs.
