AN OVERVIEW OF OUR YEAR 2024.

As we step into a brand new year, we would like to wish all our sponsors, food donors, vets, volunteers and social media friends a Happy and Prosperous 2025.

Without any one of you, Stray Paws would not exists.

Thank you to The Robin Hood Foundation South Africa , National Sterilization Project , Project Dog Durban, South Africa Tassie with Love , Glen Lorain for your sponsorship towards our mass sterilization clinics and our monthly sterilization project. We are so grateful 🙏

To our volunteers who put in so much effort at the clinics, distributing food and feeding the strays, may you all be bless, always.

We are extremely appreciative of our food suppliers, Hill’s Pet Nutrition , Purina Rotary International President and everyone else who generously donates food each month 🙏. Our 190+ Township cats and dogs eat well.

The new year hold many possibilities for Stray Paws. If we are able to secure more sponsorships and funding for strays, sick, abandoned and abused cats and dogs, we will be doubling or tripling the number of animals we currently help. We also hoping to receive a sponsorship for a bakkie for our Township runs. We need every dog and cat vaccinated in the rural townships and we are working on this possibility.

And finally, to the generous people who without fail donate even a R50 per month towards our vetbills, we are so grateful. It all adds up.

We look forward to your continued support in 2025.

In 2024 we:
1. Assisted numerous cats and dogs for injuries, sick, parvo, distemper, mauled, abused, abandoned, sterilizations, vaccinations, deworming, rehoming and rehabilitation.

2. We sterilized 458 cats and dogs.

3. We provided over 5 tons of cat and dog food to cats and dogs in the townships and the underprivileged areas of Tongaat, Verulam and Phoenix.

4. Sadly we put down and lost 27 puppies due to the deadly Parvo virus in the townships. 2 dogs had to be put down due to neurological problems. Sadly both dogs were from the same litter. We put down 3 very badly mauled dogs and 2 mauled cats. May they all RIP 🙏 😢

Please continue supporting our organization so that we can help so many more animals ❤

💔A heartbreaking experience💔

Durban, KZN

Today I was asked to uplift a dog Rex from a horrible life and drop him off at Ashburne vet.

He spent the majority of his life in chains, and his spirit was totally crushed.

A couple with a stunning Boerbull sat there waiting for their turn while we waited outside for our turn.

Rex was wagging his tail and gazing at the dog with joy.

Numerous people approached the gorgeous Boerbull, petted him, and gave the owner praise for their lovely dog.

Rex watched with envy and as the people spoke in baby language to be Boerbull, he whined.

It broke my heart that no one came up to pet or talk to this dirty, injured, malnutritioned dog. With sad eyes, he watched, wishing someone would do it to him.

Most of the time, I take in dogs in bad condition to the vet, and I often get "the eye" from people who think I am a bad owner and that it is my dogs.

I gave Rex lots of love, hugs and kisses to make him feel better. 🥰

Rex needs a home where he can be loved and cared for. To adopt him contact Melanie Dazel or 067 698 9876.

UPDATE:

We are devastated to report that Sheba had to be put out of her pain and suffering due to her having multiple broken ribs and a broken forearm. 💔😢

She was attacked on Thursday and due to the injury not been attended to immediately, it became septic and oozed with matter. She suffered tremendously since the attack.
RIP SWEET SHEBA. 💔😢💞

Thank you so much to all who donated towards her vetbill.

Mauled puppy needs your help.

Riet River, Durban

We had to go out in the pouring rain today to help a puppy who had been mauled by a dog.

We knew we needed to get to the puppy and assist her after seeing the pictures that were sent. She is only about nine weeks old.

She was lying on the floor almost lifeless from the pain. We immediately gave her pain medication and antibiotics to stabilize her.

Every small movement sent her into agonizing screams. It really broke our hearts to see her in this condition.

She is with me tonight and will go to the vet in the morning for x-rays and treatment. She ate her supper, hungryly and walked a bit outside, although weak. She is now asleep.

We are in dire need of your assistance with Sheba's medical care. Her front leg was bandaged and is hanging. It is likely that she will require an amputation.

We feel terrible to take her to the vet because our vet bills are so high and we do not have the deposit. We will need at least R1800 deposit.

Please donate even a R50 towards her treatment. Every bit adds up.

UPDATE: We are happy to announce that Bella made a full recovery. (See pics below)

She had 5 vet visits and she has finally healed.
Without the generosity of those who contributed to her care, she would not have been able to live a normal life.

We appreciate everyone who sent love and well wishes, shared her posts, and donated 🙏.

DOG WHO ATE HER OWN PAW NEED URGENT HELP😔

A dog that had finished chewing up her paw was found chewing up her own leg.

The dog had no means of support from its impoverished owner. When she attempted to apply bandages, the dog bit them in order to get to the wound.

The dog may have started by biting its overgrown nail, and it may have just kept biting out of pain.

We are pleading with the good-hearted individuals among us to please support this dog by contributing to her medical care and potential amputation of her leg.

Even a R50 counts. This poor dog will greatly benefit from your support.

Yesterdays feeding in the Welbedacht township was well received, as always.

We tried our best to provide comfort to the numerous dogs in poor condition that we discovered until we could lift them and take them for medical attention. For now we will focus on the extremely bad cases.

We appreciate every donation made to our organisation, which enables us to provide for the needs of these animals. 🙏🏼

We owe a huge debt of gratitude to The Durban Dog Hotel for coming through for Sofi and taking over her case.

Now that she is safe, she can move on from her terrible past life.

They fed her and made her a nice, warm bed.

Once Sofi is fully rehabilitated, she will be ready for her forever home. 🙏🐾❤️

TRAPPED IN NEGLECT AND PAIN

Durban KZN

Sofi the dog with the cuts and scars on her neck has been discharged from the vet.

The dog was reportedly in excruciating pain and suffering from being chained with a wire piercing her neck, according to the vet.

Upon investigation, I was told that the dog belonged to a home that sold puppies. This is common in the impoverished townships.

Due to the severity of her injuries, I will not be returning Sofi to the owner.

I need a rescue organization to please take her in. In addition to receiving medical attention for her wounds, she was spaying.

It is not possible for me to assist Sofi from here as I am in the hospital right now. I am going to be here for the next two weeks.

I kindly request that organisations assist this broken and depressed soul in finding happiness and love.
