**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**

**Heartbreaking Setback for Fallen Angels Pet Rescue as City Zoning Regulations Force Relocation**

Melkbosstrand, Cape Town – After over a decade of dedication to rescuing and caring for abandoned animals, Fallen Angels Pet Rescue faces an uncertain future. Co-founders Gayl Basson, Shireen Williams and the late Lilian Williams, have tirelessly provided a safe haven for hundreds of animals in Melkbosstrand, creating a sanctuary for those in need. However, a recent zoning decision by the City of Cape Town has left the organization facing the daunting task of relocating its beloved animal care center.

Founded on a dream to offer animals a permanent refuge, Fallen Angels Pet Rescue has weathered countless challenges since its inception. The team overcame early struggles with inadequate resources, operating without water, electricity, and proper shelter. Despite the hardships, the founders remained steadfast in their mission, transforming the land into a secure and loving environment for the animals they care for.

Yet on November 1, 2024, after investing over two and a half years and nearly R250,000 in compliance efforts, the organization received word from the City of Cape Town that their application for a Special Consent Use Permit had been denied. The property’s proximity to the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station, within a regulated 5km zone, makes the rescue center ineligible for its intended use. The City’s decision has left Fallen Angels Pet Rescue with no option but to vacate its current location.

“This has been devastating news for all of us,” says co-founder Gayl Basson “We’ve poured our hearts, our blood, sweat, and tears into making this a safe haven. Moving will be incredibly challenging, but we cannot give up on these animals who have already been through so much.”

Now, Fallen Angels Pet Rescue urgently calls upon its supporters and the broader community to rally behind them. The organization faces enormous costs and logistical challenges associated with dismantling and relocating the farm infrastructure, as well as safely transporting over 300 animals to a new sanctuary.

**How You Can Help Fallen Angels Pet Rescue in This Crisis:**

- **Donate** to the Fallen Angels Rescue Relocation Fund
- **Volunteer** to assist with demolition and rebuilding efforts
- **Offer** transportation services for the animals’ safe transfer
- **Adopt or Foster** to help ease the transition for senior and other vulnerable animals
- **Share** the organization’s story to raise awareness and support
- **Contribute your skills** – any assistance or ideas are welcomed

With the holiday season approaching, Fallen Angels Pet Rescue urges individuals to consider making a difference by supporting this essential relocation effort. Donations of any amount can help the organization rebuild and continue its mission to protect and care for animals in need. Fallen Angels is committed to ensuring that every animal remains safe and well-cared-for, regardless of the obstacles ahead.

DON’T FORCE ME TO BE SOCIAL!
It may be really disappointing and frustrating when our dogs are not the social beings we expected them to be.

Many believe dogs should just naturally get along with other dogs, after all they’re the same species.

Some believe the “unsociable” dog has a behaviour problem that needs to be “fixed”.

Early, appropriately timed and correct socialisation is vitally important, but sometimes despite all of this, some dogs are just not that sociable.

Sometimes this can be improved, especially if the cause is from a negative experience, but genetics, breed tendencies, individual personalities, health and age all contribute to tolerance and sociability, which also change throughout life.

If we, as a human species, don’t get along with everyone we meet, how can we expect our dogs to?

Do we label every person that has an argument, doesn’t make friends with everyone they meet, doesn’t like every other person, prefers not to socialise - as having a problem that needs to be fixed?

Why is it so easy to accept that every individual person is different than to accept that every individual dog is different?

When we have done what we can to improve our dogs’ social skills, we need to accept and acknowledge our dogs for the individuals they are, allow and respect their choice of whether to be sociable or not and never force interactions that a dog is not comfortable with.
