Reeva is growing from strength to strength everyday ! She has full feeling in her legs and toes but is still not able to walk on her own. Her treatment is all physical - lots of swimming lessons and exercises on her legs to help her walk again. 💃
She is attending lessons at Doggy Paddle Animal Hydrotherapy and is going from strength to strength. Thank you to Doggy Paddle - Animal Hydrotherapy Centre for getting our Reeva on her feet again!

Progress ! ❤️
Remember Ali? She was terribly abused by her owner who will be charged !
Ali was collected last Saturday full of wounds and rotten cartilage. She spent a couple days at our amazing vet Petite Paws where she received the best care and treatment. She’s been at the shelter now for 4 days and is slowly starting to trust ❤️
Solly - our incredible behaviourist is working very hard on showing her that not all humans are bad. One day at a time Ali 🐶
You are now safe and we’ll make sure no one ever hits you with a stone or harms you in any way again.
❤️🐶❤️🐕

‼️Let’s talk PARVO 🛑
What is parvo ?
Canine parvo virus has several strains which attacks the white blood cells and the gastrointestinal tract of dogs and other animals. In younger dogs, parvo can also attack the heart and muscle. It is extremely contagious and a high mortality rate.
What are the symptoms of parvo ?
- Loss of appetite
- Lethargic
- Vomiting
- Severe, bloody diarrhoea
- Abdominal pain and bloating
- Fever or low body temperature
How is parvo treated ?
If you suspect your dog has parvo, take them to the vet immediately. A dog with parvovirus needs 24/7 monitoring. Supportive care to prevent dehydration and physiological imbalances caused by vomiting and diarrhoea. Treatment for nausea and pain. Keeping your pet warm and providing nutritional support. Blood transfusions are necessary with extreme cases.
How do we prevent our dogs from catching parvo ?
- VACCINATE VACCINATE VACCINATE
- Do not take your pet out to foreign grounds until fully vaccinated
- Avoid socialising with other dogs until fully vaccinated
Parvovirus can be extremely expensive to treat. Keep your pets safe and stay up to date with their vaccinations and boosters.
Below are 2 doggies we got in with parvo virus - Hunter and Harlow. They both fought long and hard to overcome the awful virus and have come out on top ! We are happy to announce that they are now up for adoption 💞 Take a look at their adoption posts below 👇 🤩

**REEVA UPDATE**
Remember Reeva? Reeva came in last week not able to use her back legs…. She is now doing hydro therapy at the plot to help get those back legs moving. 💦 She has full feeling in her legs but they are just not mobile yet 😞
We would love the opportunity to take her to Doggy Paddle but the cost is R500+ a lesson 😞
Keep following our page for updates of beautiful Reeva 💞

Just one dog after another needing help 😩😭
‼️🚨‼️‼️🚨‼️🚨‼️🚨
We have just picked this beautiful girl up from Diepsloot. She cannot use her back legs at all ! 😔 X-rays and tests have begun to try and figure out why this girl cannot run like a puppy her age should. We have decided to name her Reeva 🐾
Reeva is currently at our vet Petite Paws where she’ll get the treatment she deserves and hopefully a smooth recovery ❤️🩹
Please help us, help Reeva 🙏

Benji aka Scrat. ❤️
All Benji knew in his short life was a heavy chain, a hard floor, hardly any food and a scrap of a blanket for warmth.
Fast forward a week and he is now with us at Dogs Trust, he rests easily during the day on a cushion with his very own teddy bear, he is getting Hill’s Pet Nutrition to make up for all the meals he missed and sleeps at night with hot water bottles and more blankets then he knows what to do with.
Life begins now for Benji. ❤️

STERILISATION SAVES LIVES 🙏
Below is an example of what can be prevented. A puppy having puppies…. This mommy was not in great condition when we found her and her 10 pups. She was treated, sterilised and homed as well as her pups - thankfully!
There are many other doggies out there that go through this time and time again. Bringing further unwanted litters in the cruel world we live in.
🥳 We are proud to announce that in the last 6 weeks; we’ve sterilised 118 dogs at Hartbeespoort Animal Welfare Society 😃 Thank you HAWS for helping us change lives, one doggie at a time. ❤️
Be wise, STERILISE your pets 🐶🐾
