Wollies Animal Project

Wollies Animal Project Rescuing and re-homing animals - giving a second chance at a good life. We are a pro-life organization. We are a non-profit organization. We take no chances!

Wollies Animal Shelter is located at 101 Rooikat Street, Hesteapark, Pretoria North at the old Police Bungalows. In 2003 Wollies Animal Project was established with the specific goal in mind, to assist people in disadvantaged areas, who could not afford the normal sterilisation rates. We were fortunate enough to find a vet who reduced their rates to make it more affordable to the community. In 20

13 we started the Wollies Animal Shelter. To date, we have helped to sterilise thousands of animals a year. We do allow our animals to be homed outside of Pretoria. For any information on our Dog Adoptions, please contact or Whatsapp our Kennel Manager, Innocent on 061-605-0002. Our adoption fee for DOGS is R650 and includes sterilisation, vaccination and deworming (please note if it is a pup we only do the first vaccination, the 2 follow up vaccinations must be done at your vet) and deworming and the adoption fee for PUPPIES is R750. Our adoption fee for CATS is R600 and includes sterilisation, vaccination, deworming and they are tested for FIV/FelV. The adoption fee for KITTENS is R750. We conduct strict home checks to ensure that the family and the animal will be well suited. The animal's safety and having a good life is our main concern. Security companies WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED!! We believe that animals are an integral part of the family and should be inside at nights. Animals have excellent hearing and will still alert you should there be an intruder. Leaving animals outside at night is very dangerous for them. They are poisoned during attempted house break-ins and NO animal deserves to die, especially in that horrendous way. A LITTLE ABOUT WOLLIES

The most important things for us is – sterilization and re-homing. Giving that one doggy or cat a second chance in life. Wish we could get the message out to the public and pet owners on the importance of sterilisation. Trying to change people's minds and educate them on how to treat animals decently. These two aspects are the most important part of why we are doing what we do. Animal Welfare begins with sterilisation. Sterilisation should not be an option but a necessity and a priority. Too often pet owners are discouraged from having their pets sterilised due to the high costs involved, but the advantages far outweigh the vet's invoice PLUS adopting a pet from a shelter allows you to qualify for discounted sterilisation rates from most vets. REASONS TO STERILISE:

Fewer unwanted litters –
It is the most effective and humane method to control the growth of the already overly grown animal population. The animals can no longer breed and multiply, thereby the stray animal population eventually decreases resulting in fewer animals having to be euthanised at vets and municipal pounds. There are just not enough animal welfare organisations to take in any more animals. There are not enough homes. The supply far outweighs the demand. Less nuisance behaviour –
Eliminates the desire to find a mate. The sterilized male is less likely to roam. The female will not come on heat and attract males or soil the house. Improved health –
Reduces the risk of breast cancer, eliminates the risk of ovarian cancer and uterine infections as well as venereal tumours. Improved demeanour –
Problems with territorial or sexual aggression in male dogs can be partly managed by neutering, which also eliminates the risk of testicular cancer and the chance of contracting sexually transmitted diseases. Cleaner Environments –
Neutering virtually eliminates the offensive scent of tom cats. Less Injury –
Un-sterilised tom cats are known to “rape” females and do not discriminate between sterilised and un-sterilised females. Toms can inflict serious and painful injuries on female cats. Wollies have assisted four of the 7 squatter camps in the area as well as two retirement centres with pet sterilisation. Sadly with the downturn of the economy, which has affected many people and many communities, it's always the animals that suffer first. They end up being fed less, their owners forced to downgrade to smaller homes which in turn means that the animals cannot remain with the family etc. So many factors are against our precious furry family members - we need to help where we can to save as many lives as we possibly can. Until every cage is empty. There are just TOO many animals being put to sleep every year. Responsible pet ownership is the only way. Don't breed or buy while shelter animals die!!! Animals are sentient beings, they have the ability to feel, to perceive, to be conscious….to suffer and as sentient beings should be afforded the right to life, dignity and welfare.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to the CRAZY SINGLES HIKING GROUP!! On December 14, 2023, Lizl took the initiative to create this wonderful group, driven by her belief in "hiking with a purpose." This welcoming community is open to all singles, both men and women, who may have experienced trauma, gone through a divorce, feel their lives lack meaning, or simply find themselves feeling lonely. Everyone is invited to join and find support.

Lizl has been dedicated to Wollies for many years and has chosen to make this her special project. Each month, the group dedicates a day to Wollies, engaging in activities like painting and repairing dog houses. In October, they concluded their efforts with a Tree Drive, successfully collecting 112 saplings that will provide shade for the dogs in just a year, which they planted together.

Our love for animals drives us, and I’m proud to be part of this incredible hiking group filled with kind-hearted individuals. Their support makes all of this possible. Whenever I notice a need, I eagerly reach out for sponsorships and donations. While many contributions come from our own pockets, we do it all out of love. To join the group forward a whatsup to r 060 875 8289.

What Happens to Stray Pets at Valley Farm?

When a stray pet arrives at Valley Farm, we provide the best care possible, following all local regulations. Our team immediately scans for a microchip and reaches out through our network to locate the pet’s family. If the pet is injured or unwell, our vets assess it and provide necessary care, or, when needed, make the compassionate choice to let it go peacefully.

If a pet isn’t claimed within 24-48 hours, we transfer it to the Watloo SPCA, where they continue the care process.

Is Your Pet Microchipped? Now’s the Time! Valley Farm offers Backhome mini microchips with lifelong registration for just R250, and Pets with Benefits members get them for only R200. These mini microchips are perfect for almost any pet, from dogs and cats to birds, reptiles, and small mammals.

We see an influx of people inquiring to adopt birds closer to the holiday season and we see an even larger amount of surrenders in Feb/ March.

We urge you to please do your research before getting someone a parrot as a gift! These magnificent animals can live a very long time and they require a lot of time and care!

Getting a parrot shouldn’t be a decision you make on a whim! Those cute videos of the dancing cockatoo or macaw on social media is absolutely mis leading! Anyone with those types of parrots will tell you that those behaviours make up about 10% of their entire life time!

You should think VERY carefully before making a decision like this.
