About Us

Every purchase you make here does more than look good, it does good.

The BarkingMad Shop exists for one simple reason: to help dogs and cats in need across South Africa. Every item you buy directly supports rescued animals by helping provide food, veterinary care, enrichment, and vital support to shelters and families who need it most.

BarkingMad was born from years on the frontlines of animal rescue. We’ve seen the heartbreak, and the hope. The overflowing shelters. The animals waiting. The incredible difference that the right support can make. This shop is one more way to turn compassion into action.

When you shop with us, you’re not just buying a product  You’re filling a food bowl You’re helping keep a pet with their family You’re giving a rescued dog or cat a second chance.

From everyday essentials to meaningful gifts, everything in our store carries a purpose. Because we believe kindness should be easy, impact should be shared, and together… we can feed more, save more, and do better for animals.

Because real change doesn’t happen in isolation, it happens when people come together for animals who can’t speak for themselves. BarkingMad exists to do more than rescue. We work to change the system that fails dogs and cats every single day across South Africa. When you support BarkingMad, you’re helping us:

Reach More Animals, Nationwide
We don’t just support one shelter. BarkingMad works with a growing network of rescue organisations, fosters, and families across the country, ensuring help reaches animals wherever it’s needed most.

Focus on Mental & Emotional Well-Being
A full belly matters, but so does a healthy mind. We prioritise enrichment, behaviour support, and humane care so animals don’t just survive… they heal.

Keep Pets with Their Families
Through initiatives like assisted rehoming and pet-inclusive housing advocacy, we help prevent surrender before it happens, keeping loved pets where they belong.

Turn Everyday Actions into Impact
From Click-to-Feed to the BarkingMad Shop, we make it easy for people to help simply by clicking, shopping, or sharing, small actions that create big change.

Support
We believe in uplifting, educating, and collaborating. Shelters, caregivers, and communities deserve support.
