This is so sad.

If you are able to, please save an animal tonight and take it in. I bet the owners will be looking for them tomorrow.

To those giving them up as unwanted. Our hearts break.

***THIS IS CRUEL!***

South Africa, I know it is difficult and we are all going a bit mad, including our pets during the lockdown. But, this behavior is unacceptable, it is cruel and heartless.

The photo is of poor quality but in it you can see a person driving their vehicle with their dog on their lap and the passenger half hanging out the window with a lead attached to a dog and making the dog walk with the vehicle moving at a slow pace.

This is why it is unacceptable and cruel:

- the driver is not fully concentrated on where they are heading or what is happening on the road due to a dog being on their lap. Distracted driving kills almost as many as drunk n driving. It is an accident waiting to happen.
- the dog running on the road could get caught up under the vehicle, if an accident had to happen, both dog and person in the vehicle will be seriously harmed.
- risking all lives (human and non human) is heartless and unfair.
- dogs can easily get scared and act out causing accidents. He could pull the passenger out the vehicle in an attempt to run or chase something.
- No true loving pet owner would ever put their animals in the face of danger.
- Even if South Africa was not in lockdown, this is not acceptable!

Please do not do this! If your pet is restless walk it around the yard, Google fun and creative activities for them to do and do it with them. There are plenty safer ways to take care of animals and keep them intrigued.

So brutal and such a sad day for the animal kingdom.

Thank you to Randburg SPCA as well as Douglasdale SAPS for helping this angel.

MAN ARRESTED FOR BREAKING PUPPY'S BACK.

On the 25th of March 2020, A man was taken into custody by the Douglasdale SAPS, after he kicked his family dog so hard, he broke it’s spine.

The individual, brought the 4 month old Scottish Terrier into a local veterinary hospital, indicating to the attending veterinarian that he had kicked the puppy because it urinated on his carpet.

The attending veterinarian immediately took x-rays and was horrified to find what she described as a fatal fracture. The veterinarian then urgently contacted Inspector S. Bodasing, head of the Randburg SPCA inspectorate, informing him of what had transpired.

Approximately 5 minutes later the Inspector arrived on scene, to find the animal in a great deal of pain even after the administration of pain medication. The Inspector consulted with the attending veterinarian whom indicated that the owners were asked to wait in the consultation room, unaware of the SPCA’s involvement.

The Inspector had phoned ahead to the commissioned officers of the Douglasdale SAPS, advising them that he can reasonably foresee the possibility of an arrest. The officers were incredibly professional and eager to assist and immediately charged to the scene. The members of the SAPS arrived less than 5 minutes after the Inspector’s phone call.

The Inspector and the SAPS entered the consultation room for the first time, and the owners were unpleasantly surprised. The Inspector informed them that a veterinarian is legally obliged to report any case of suspected animal cruelty to the authorities (SPCA) and as such he was of the opinion that there was indeed enough evidence to proceed with a prosecution, the suspected offender was then arrested and taken into custody by the SAPS.

“I find this act to be one of purposeless cruelty, performed with culpable intention. There are no justifiable grounds to explain or excuse this conduct. It is common knowledge that a puppy needs to be housetrained, and therefore infers that it will urinate in undesired places until it learns. To kick a puppy so brutally to break its spine, is a crime for which I will ensure punishment is sought.” Said Inspector Shiven Bodasing of the Randburg SPCA.

The puppy had such a severe break that the attending veterinarian advised the only option be euthanasia, as the animal would never recover from such an injury and is suffering unimaginably.

The Randburg SPCA wishes to commend our colleagues at the Douglasdale SAPS for a sterling performance, they did indeed protect and serve.

Such a busy day and it is not even over yet. From saving a dog caught in a gate to saving a goat caught in barbed wire. Thanks to the team from Stryka Security again for the assistance with both cases! 😁

❗❗❗Please help by sharing this pic all over Johannesburg and West Rand groups?
Today 4 men came to CLAW trying to sell this young neutered male dog.
They were clearly not sober, and said they needed the money to visit a sick grandmother.
We got the dog inside the clinic and insisted that two of them accompany us to where they said the dog had lived.
The first address was a definite no no. Neighbours confirmed that they had never seen the dog.
We then went to the other address that they originally gave us, and nobody there had ever heard of them or seen the dog.
He is in good condition but extremely stressed .
We can only assume that they found him, or that he may have been stolen.
He needs to go home. WhatsApp or SMS us on 0829263627 or 0768504466.

On the 12 Feburary 2020, in partnership with Stryka Security Ops team we managed to rescue this amazing boy. He was stuck down a 4m pump house where suspects had stolen the metal grid which protects the pumps and this poor boy had found his way down and was balancing on the pump itself. Thanks to the partnership of Stryka security ops guys they safely hoisted him out and managed to get him to a place of safety.

As you can see, he is now in very safe hands and looking for a new place to call home. A boy that deserves a second chance, ground to run and play upon and tons of treats!

So all lovers, head down to SPCA Randburg to give this gorgeous man a second chance at life? 😁😁😃😃 promise he will not disappoint!

If you use peanut butter as a sweet treat for your furchild to keep them occupied. Please make sure of the ingredients first. Xylitol is highly toxic in dogs and can cause severe outcomes.

After a bit of concern and worry we decided to look for updates on the poor girl that was found and rescued on olivenhout avenue in Northriding AH.

As much of a success it was this poor angel had to be humanely euthanized due to a large tumour that was causing her a great amount of discomfort 😥

RIP sweet girl. Glad your last moments were surrounded by people who held you in their hearts and showered you with love and care ❤

Well done to SPCA Randburg for being a voice when the animals need it most.

Absolutely shocking at what people think is a "happy" environment for animals!

22/01/2020

Saturday the 25th of January is the Chinese New Year, and in terms of the City of Joburg bylaws fireworks may be set off between 19:00 and 22:00. Please ensure your pets are safe and secure and spread the word please.

Background music or what we like to call white noise is always advisable during fireworks or any festivities that cause animals to go into shock, fear, discomfort. There are variables on all platforms. But we strongly advise that all animals get kept indoors during this time or kept as calm as they can be. There are a few sedatives that one could give but please check with your vet on the pet, size, age of your furchild before deciding to self administer.

Lets keep our animals safe and happy. After all they are part of our family 🐾👍🏻

LUCAS IS LOOKING FOR A LOVING HOME

I was surrendered to SARAC together with my sister Vanilla.
My owner used to spoil us, he would also spend lots of money on my training and every weekend he would take us to the park where me and my sister would play with other dogs, I don't want to lie I really miss those special moments.
Things started taking a rough turn for my owner and i could see that he was struggling and he eventually took us to live with his parents and withing few months we were then taken to SARAC.
We are pampered with love here at SARAC but still misses life at home
Wish someone could adopt me and give me a loving home.
Please understand that I am Not a fighter and was also Not Bred to fight.
I would love to go to the same house as my sister Vanilla.mmmm!
