In a world where countless dogs need loving homes, Queen Camilla set a regal example by choosing adoption over purchasing pedigrees.
Her latest canine companion, Moley, a rescue from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, highlights the joy and companionship that adopted pets can bring.
Moley, a mixed-breed puppy with an endearing resemblance to a mole, was introduced to the public in a heartwarming photograph released ahead of the Chelsea Flower Show.
In the image, the young pup stands proudly on a wooden chair, sporting a red and blue collar, her oversized ears adding to her cuteness.
Born on Boxing Day at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, Moley was adopted by Queen Camilla in February, shortly after the loss of her beloved Jack Russell Terrier, Beth.
Beth, also a rescue from Battersea, had been a cherished member of the royal household until her passing due to an untreatable tumour.
Queen Camilla, a long-standing patron of Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, has consistently championed the cause of animal adoption.
Her decision to welcome Moley into her home not only honours Beth's memory but also reinforces her commitment to giving rescue animals a second chance. Moley joins Bluebell, another Jack Russell Terrier adopted by the Queen in 2012.
The Chelsea Flower Show's Royal Horticultural Society and BBC Radio 2 Dog Garden, designed by Monty Don, features a special tribute to Moley.
Her name, along with those of Bluebell, Beth, and King Charles's dog Snuff, is engraved on a brick path within the garden, celebrating the royal pets' significance.
This garden, designed specifically for dogs with ample grassy areas, will be relocated to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home after the show, continuing to honour the bond between humans and their canine companions.
Queen Camilla's embrace of rescue dogs serves as an inspiring reminder that love and loyalty aren't exclusive to purebreds.
If the Queen can open her heart to a rescue dog, perhaps it's time more of us in South Africa consider doing the same.
For South Africans considering adding a furry friend to their family, adoption offers a chance to provide a deserving animal with a forever home. After all, if it's good enough for royalty!
