Fundraising in memory of Zilly Rensburg

My Story

Zilly was an 18 year old Mini Dachshund. We lost him in 2025 after a massive innings, full of life, travel and treats. Originally from South Africa, flew to the UK at the ripe age of 14 and even got a French passport. He smashed through life with his trademark little waddle and a never ending hunger for food ;)

Zilly developed a heart condition and was on chronic medication daily, but this didnt stop him from living each day to the fullest. 

At the age of 16, he started making artworks on his chosen medium of concrete. I now digitally redraw these artworks and create wall worthy prints. For each product sold, I will be donating to The Red Foundation. An organisation that does an amazing job of looking after these little sausages we all love so dearly. This is my way of immortalising my old boy, while trying to give back in the process.

Whether its a few bucks or some spare change, every little bit helps towards giving these little bundles of fur the life they deserve.

 

Thank you for the support!
