Meet MORRIS - Adopt Don't Shop
*ADOPTIONS* 🐶 DOG OF THE DAY 🐾 MORRIS
Marvellous Morris is THE sweetest mature, yet spritely boy! He’s estimated to be 6 to 7 years of age and is so sweet, happy and lovable. Morris loves his walks and sniffing everything along the way. He sadly lost his home as his family situation changed. He could live with another gentle dog subject to a successful intro at SPCA, or be quite happy to get all the spoils to himself. He’d be a great match for an active retired person or a family willing to adopt a slightly older (yet lively) dog.

A huge thank you to Lewis's Fugly Friends & Petshop Science for making this Christmas extra special for our shelter dogs! 🎄🐾
For many of these pups, this was the first time they had ever seen or received a toy, and the joy was truly priceless! 🐕🎁
Watching them play, explore, and experience this simple happiness meant so much to us. Thank you for giving them a moment of pure joy while they wait for their forever families—and for bringing a little Christmas magic their way! 💖 #FirstChristmasToys #ShelterDogs #ThankYou #HolidayJoy #PetshopScience #DiscoverPetshopScience #DogsOfInstagram #lewisfuglyfriends
🎥💝 Pure Joy, Pure Love! 💝🎥
Watch as compassion comes full circle! 🐾✨ 22-year-old Lathitha Daweti, who rescued tiny Will the kitten from a dustbin, has been gifted a brand-new pair of soccer boots from an SPCA supporter who was moved by his act of kindness. ⚽🎁
Lathitha, a talented goalkeeper, was so close to playing for Bafana Bafana but after his father’s passing, he had to put that dream on hold. He’s kept his skills alive by training hard at a Khayelitsha community centre, wearing second-hand boots that he repairs himself.
This Christmas, Lathitha spread love without expecting anything in return. And like Lathitha, a stranger showed love this holiday season, and love from a stranger asks for nothing, only to give. This is the magic of Christmas🌟

10-7 Final Call For Senior Inspector Taljaard
In Loving Memory of Senior Inspector Eric Taljaard
Today, with heavy hearts, we paid tribute to a remarkable man and dedicated animal protector, Senior Inspector Eric Taljaard. Though he was not a part of the Cape of Good Hope SPCA team, his impact on the SPCA movement resonates deeply with us all. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his wife, family, and especially to his son, Inspector Werner Taljaard, who continues his father’s legacy of fighting tirelessly for the lives of animals.
Senior Inspector Taljaard joined the SPCA family in 1998 as a Trainee Inspector at the Lower South Coast SPCA. In 2000, he became a qualified Inspector, and by 2003, he earned the title of Senior Inspector. His journey of service later led him to the Roodepoort SPCA, where he continued his unwavering commitment to animal welfare until he was medically boarded after many years of dedicated service.
Known for his kind and approachable demeanour, Senior Inspector Taljaard was a beacon of compassion and dedication in the communities he served. Over a remarkable 25 years, he devoted his life to protecting animals, embodying the values and mission of the SPCA in every action he took.
As a mark of respect, our team of Inspectors gathered to honour his legacy and stand in solidarity with our colleague, Inspector Werner Taljaard, during this difficult time. In a moving moment of reflection, our team stood at attention as a final call was made over the radio in memory of Senior Inspector Taljaard:
"This is the final call for Senior Inspector Eric Taljaard.
Senior Inspector Taljaard faithfully served the SPCA and protected our animals with honour, courage, and dedication. His service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.
Though Senior Inspector Taljaard is no longer with us, his memory and legacy will forever remain in our hearts.
Senior Inspector Taljaard, you are now 10-7. Rest easy. We have the watch from here.
This concludes the final call for Senior Inspector Taljaard.”

🐶One manageable pet can quickly become 10 - then 50 and then hundreds. When care is no longer manageable they suffer. Here's a scared Mom trying to be brave, a sick Mom giving her all while her own body gives up and a starving Mom nursing her pups while her own belly aches with hunger. It's relentless but it doesn't have to be.
✋You can stop the suffering before it starts.
✋You can break the cycle of overbreeding.
✋You can create a future where every animal born is wanted and every animal has a loving home.
Support sterilisation! Every spay or neuter is a permanent solution that ends the heartache for good. Sponsor a Spay because animals deserve to live in a world where they are wanted and loved. https://pulse.ly/rwmgx13tul

Meet ESPRESSO - Adopt Don't Shop
*ADOPTIONS* 🐶 #SENIORDOGSUNDAY 🐾 ESPRESSO
Often overlooked in shelters, senior dogs make incredible companions. 🏡 They’re already trained, have good manners, and quickly settle into their new homes.
Espresso is darling medium (rather tubby) sized boy who was found as a stray and not claimed. He is a mellow lad who likes to roll about on the grass and isn’t too demanding activity-wise. He may need a bit of a slim-and-trim programme to get his figure back in shape, but gentle walks and a chilled vibe is more his thing. If you’re looking for a lovable boy who just loves to hang out and spend time with you, then come in and meet him!

💔23,621 heartbeats. Not numbers.
Last year, 23,621 unwanted and unloved animals came through our doors. Each one had a face, a story, and a pain that no animal should endure.
Because unwanted and unloved looks like fear and suffering. And we see an average of 65 faces like these every day of the year - more at this time of year.
It’s an endless cycle because animals are being born faster than we can save them.
✋But you can stop it. By sponsoring a sterilisation, you can prevent suffering before it starts. One spay or neuter means less animals born into a world where there’s no space, no food, and no love for them.
Watch to the end - one little puppy, despite all he’s endured, still finds it in his heart to give kisses. They deserve better. They deserve a chance.

🚨 [LIVE] Removal of Animals from Inappropriate Conditions in Pelican Park 🚨
CLICK HERE FOR AN UPDATE:- https://capespca.co.za/news/from-chains-to-flames-dog-burned-alive-despite-spca-warnings/
Chief Inspector Jaco Pieterse, alongside Inspector Jeffrey Mfini and the team are currently at a property in Pelican Park executing a warrant issued in terms of the Animals Protection Act 71 of 1962 by the Wynberg Magistrates Court. This followed two previous written warnings that were ignored by the owner. Despite being instructed to improve the welfare of a dog confined on a static chain and farm animals kept in cramped and dirty enclosures, the conditions remained unchanged. Numerous follow-ups revealed non-compliance, leading the Cape of Good Hope SPCA to obtain a warrant from the Wynberg Magistrates Court. Join us live for updates on this important intervention. 🐾
