Bark and Bold (The 9th Day Animal Rescue Centre) #3

This one doesn’t tiptoe. It powers through your morning like zoomies through a dewy field.

Sold in aid of The 9th Day Animal Rescue.

Built for the bold — and inspired by the bull breeds we know and love — this blend is as fearless as the misunderstood dogs it supports.

• Double-roasted beans bring both depth and balance: a dark roast for the grit, a medium roast for the warmth underneath.
• It’s tough at first sip — but give it time, and it softens into something beautiful.

Strength rating: 7/10.

Just like the dogs, our rescue runs on passion and perseverance. With a rented facility and our very own farm just outside Krugersdorp, we’re building the future step by step — creating a space where every dog can rest, recover, and thrive. The farm means we’ll never have to move again. It’s not just a property — it’s a promise.

And this blend? It’s the kind of coffee that keeps that promise warm in your hands.

About The 9th Day Animal Rescue

The 9th Day Animal Rescue is a compassionate, volunteer-driven organization committed to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming abused, neglected, and unwanted animals. Based in South Africa, The 9th Day offers a lifeline to the voiceless — dogs and other animals who have suffered deeply and need a second chance at life.

What sets The 9th Day apart is its unwavering focus on healing — not just physically, but emotionally too. From bait dogs and cruelty cases to senior pets and hoarding victims, each rescue is treated as an individual with a name, a story, and the right to a better life. The team works tirelessly to provide medical care, love, and rehabilitation, ensuring every animal has the opportunity to find a forever home where they are truly cherished.

While the rescue traditionally operated without a formal shelter and relied heavily on foster homes, the current setup includes two active sites: a kennel facility in Krugersdorp (rented) and a privately owned farm just outside Krugersdorp. The long-term vision is to consolidate operations entirely on the farm, where construction of permanent kennels is already underway. This move will offer stability and security, ensuring that The 9th Day always has a safe space to continue its vital work — without the uncertainty of rental agreements.

Although the journey is often tough, The 9th Day stands firm in its mission: to be the voice for the broken, the brave, and the overlooked — until every heart has a home.
