This pretty little flower is looking for her forever home. 💕

Mina-moo was the mother of three chunky pups who were rescued out of a mole-hole where she was protecting herself and of course her beautiful puppies. 🙏💕

She was such an amazing mother and did such a great job by taking care of them and has definitely ensured a beautiful future for them. They have all been adopted! 🥰

Mina-moo has been sterilised and is needing her forever family too. She has such an amazing and loving personality, you'll be head over heels. 🤗

She is well socialized, loves being around people and does well with other dogs! She is a social-butterfly. 😇

+- 3 years old | Female

South African Police Service, you should be proud of Sergeant Cwayi, who helped get Mrs Tshandu to our hospital this evening in order for her to surrender her two dogs to us. 🙏💙

She unfortunately lost her job in 2021 and felt she was no longer able to provide for her dogs. She also stated that she felt the area she is staying in was not a safe environment for her beloved dogs. 💔😢

Thank you for being a responsible pet owner and doing the right thing. 🙏💙

Valentine's Day is all about celebrating love and we don't think that anyone will argue the fact that pet's are the perfect cure for a broken heart. ❤️💙

Our pet's "say" I love you in many ways - cats head-butt, knead and blink slowly at people they love whilst dog's love to lick, roll-over, look lovingly and sigh at those they love.

We know this to be true because we get to enjoy these special moments every day of the year!

At the Animal Welfare Society of South Africa we love them all big and small and firmly believe that giving is an act of love so yesterday we decided to share the abundance of love our dogs have for everyone with our friends from the Faircape Group who spent lunchtime with several dogs hoping to find a special place in their hearts and we hope homes.

"Who said Valentine's Day has to be about roses, chocolates and dashed expectations? We believe that Valentine's Day is the perfect occasion to celebrate another kind of love that plays an important part in our lives - our pet's", said AWS SA spokesman Allan Perrins

Thank you Faircape Property Group (our Coroprate Cupid) for another memorable outing and for sharing your undeniable compassion and love for animals with our team and very fortunate pack of irresistible doggy dates.

Daisy, a beautiful 1 year old girl is looking for her forever home. 😍

This beautiful Airedale was surrendered because her previous family felt that they couldn't care for her as she needs and their space wasn't big enough for her. 🙏

Daisy is playful, sweet and loves cuddles. She's great with other dogs, she's amazing with people and seems to be okay with cats too. 💙

It’s commonplace to spay or neuter cats and dogs, but did you know that you can also sterilise your exotic pets?

Sterilising is an important preventative health measure with loads of benefits, including:

🐾 Eliminating the risk of testicular cancer

🐾 Eliminating the risk of uterine cancer, cystic o***y disease and ovarian cancer

🐾 Reducing the risk of mammary cancer

🐾 Decreasing the risk of faecal impaction in male Guinea Pigs

🐾 Preventing unwanted pregnancies

Thanks to their owners and skill of our outstanding surgical team these exotic pets can now enjoy the many benefits associated with sterilisation 🐾💙🩺

𝗧𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 – 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗼’𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁𝘀 🐢💙

Earlier today a group of hikers came across a stranded sea turtle that had washed up onto the shore after becoming entangled in the rope of what appears to be a “ghost buoy”.

The turtle appeared exhausted and had abrasions on its left flipper caused by the rope attached to the buoy that inhibited its ability to swim, dive and hunt for food.

Based on the amount of barnacle growth observed on the rope and buoy it is thought that it had been suffering for quite some time.

We immediately notified the Turtle Conservation Centre at the Two Oceans Aquarium who offered this advice to anyone finding a stranded adult (large or small) sea turtle on the beach or rocks.

Never put the turtle back into the ocean.
Call the rescue hotline number 083 300 1663.
Under guidance move the turtle to safety - away from rocks / waves etc and possibly into a shady area .
Never pick up by the flippers or edge of the shell - this causes injury, try to pick up from underneath the body...this is not easy - it is better to discuss steps with the rescue coordinator over the phone.
Turtle will be moved to the Turtle Conservation Centre a dedicated turtle hospital for assessment.

We would like to thank the hikers for reporting their unusual find to us and the Turtle Rescue Coordinator for her help in ensuring the success of this precious rescue mission.
