The Men’s Health Magazine Cover for this month features a new kind of model, Stanley the pup, featured on February’s cover and he’s found a new home.
Men’s Health had teamed up with DARG (Domestic Animal Rescue Group) to feature and rehome Stanley. Stanley is seen chilling on the beach with co-model Riaan Ellis, a Health and Wellness coach from Cape Town. The pair feature on the February, Man’s Best Friend edition of Men’s Health.
Stanley lived at DARG, which is located in Hout Bay, Cape Town. The organisation is an animal rescue group that saves and rehomes unwanted animals. Aside from rehoming the animals they also raise funds for feeding plans and health care of the dogs and cats.
DARG is a pro-life, non-profit organisation that relies on donation and adoption of their wonderful dogs and cats.
“DARG provides shelter for its rescues through housing an extensive cat garden, cat sanctuary, outdoor and indoor kennel areas as well as indoor rooms for those animals in treatment or rehabilitation.”
DARG knows that not everyone can adopt and animal and so they offer an option for those that still want to contribute to the animal’s well being. Sponsor-a-Kennel and Sponsor-a-Meow was created so that Corporate’s can get involved too.

DARG had also posted the picture and request for rehoming on their Facebook and the responses there were not only positive but also a little hilarious!

“That’s awesome what great coverage” – Rachel Logan
It took less than 24 hours to find Stanley a home, today Stanley has a loving new home and a bright new future!
“We start today with the BEST news! A shout out to the awesome team at Men’s Health South Africa for putting our DARG shelter pup, STANLEY, on their latest magazine cover! Stanley has found himself the best foster home…we’re so sure it’s forever!
