THE LIFE OF WINSTON ๐ด
Remember our boy Winston who was hacked with a panga in 2022, rescued by our team, nursed back to health and then adopted by the Johnstone family.
We received this little video of how he comes for a visit through the window for a treat ๐
We miss him terribly but we are so happy that he is living such a happy life with a family who adores him! ๐

Our Mandela Day projects have officially kicked off with our Meet & Greet area almost reaching completion thanks to the kindness of those that supported our initiatives during the month of July! ๐
Our Fencing Project is ready to commence, but due to the high costs of materials, we are still falling short of funds to see this through ๐

We still need to raise ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ฎ ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ for this project so we have renamed this our ๐ฆ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฒ๐น project. The aim is to humbly request from our kind supporters to please help us purchase the much needed panels to complete this project. Each panel costs R880 and ANY amount towards this would be so greatly appreciated.

Many dogs visit our premises with their owners for various reasons including Veterinary treatment. Unfortunately it has become a regular occurance where dogs escape their owners or come off their leashes and then chaos breaks loose.
Our staff run in all directions to protect our resident dogs, cats and dearest Gilbert from being attacked or bitten. Our Kennel dogs and dog walkers are also placed at risk when these situations occur. Sadly we have had some attacks, fortunately none have been fatal (yet)! While our primary concern is for the safety of all the animals, we also fear that children, our staff or other members of the public may get attacked.
Preventing our dogs from going on walks or locking up Gilbert and our resident animals is not an option, so we are asking for your kind support in helping us protect those that we love! ๐

*WARNING: THIS VIDEO MAY UPSET SENSITIVE VIEWERS*
Early on a Friday morning the call comes through for illegal hunters in the area. Inspector Jerry Seemise was the first to respond to the call followed by Inspector Tebogo Maswanganye and soon also joined by Inspector Theo Mokgatle and our GM Inspector Pam Pretorius.
These hunters had overpowered a SAPS member and while in pursuit, one of the hunting dogs had been seen being hit by a vehicle. SAPS left the scene and when our inspectors arrived, the hunter had already placed the badly injured dog on his shoulders and started running. As the team gave chase he threw this poor dog into the air and caused further excruciating pain and suffering.
Sadly this poor animal had suffered a severe spinal injury and was in absolute agony after being hit by a vehicle, carelessly carried and then flung through the air. We had no choice but to humanely end it's suffering.
Our wildlife and dogs all suffer due to illegal hunting. Animals are ripped apart while alive, dogs get injured during the hunt with veterinary treatment rarely provided, and many suffer from malnutrition and live their lives in the confines of tiny cages - waiting for the next hunt. To their owners, this is just a sport. If one dog dies they simply replace it with another.
Please support our Inspectors and help us irradicate this kind of cruelty in our area. All animals deserve to be treated with respect, love and kindness.
