The Underdog Project is a registered Non-Profit and Public Benefit Organisation working with vulnerable children and dogs in Cape Town, South Africa. The welfare of children and animals in South Africa are of equal importance to us and we believe we have found a creative way to provide mutual benefits to both these vulnerable groups. This programme is mutually beneficial to two vulnerable groups as we teach empathy and various life skills to underprivileged children while bringing joy to troubled dogs.
