Skunk, an adorable Boston Terrier that stole Cape Town’s hearts after he went missing, has inspired other animal lovers to whip out their angel wings and raise funds for future rescue efforts – all for the price of a flat white.
If you haven’t heard of Skunk yet, the pooch is the main character who went missing on Table Mountain, among other areas, for over two weeks.
The search quickly went viral on social media, but weeks passed by and Skunk was nowhere to be found – until two days ago.
The Boston Terrier Rescue SA were the eyes and ears (beyond the pooch’s humans) that helped raise the alarm bells for Skunk spottings.

In paying tribute to his rescue, volunteers like Jo Ross have initiated a fundraiser for the Boston Terrier Rescue SA. It’s partly about raising money, but mostly about thanking the organisation for all they do.
Taking to Facebook, Ross gave the BTRA a shout-out and invited others to join the coffee-priced act of goodness.
“I would like to ask that we all come together and thank Boston Terrier Rescue South Africa for their unwavering support in the ultimate rescue of The most loved Bostie in Cape Town. Not once did they doubt that Skunk would come home.”
“I am going to pledge R25 (that’s one Flat White) to welcome Skunk home! I hope that you all will join me and do the same. This will ensure that the love that was shown to Skunk over the last 3 weeks can be passed on to future rescues that need all our love.”
The idea took off, and the organisation dedicated to the breed’s rescue is certainly feeling the love. You can find out more on Boston Terrier Rescue South Africa’s Facebook page.
Skunk is also healthy and a happy camper once again.
