This is something everyone should see. This xray is of a 2 week old puppy.

When you get your 8/10 week old puppies, please keep this image in mind. Their bones do not even touch yet. They plod around so cutely with big floppy paws and wobbly movement because their joints are entirely made up of muscle, tendons, ligaments with skin covering. Nothing is fitting tightly together or has a true socket yet.

When you run them excessively or don't restrict their exercise to stop them from overdoing it during this period you don't give them a chance to grow properly. Every big jump or excited bouncing run causes impacts between the bones. In reasonable amounts this is not problematic and is the normal wear and tear that every animal will engage in.

But when you're letting puppy jump up and down off the lounge or bed, take them for long walks/hikes, you are damaging that forming joint. When you let the puppy scramble on tile with no traction you are damaging the joint.

You only get the chance to grow them once. A well built body is something that comes from excellent breeding and a great upbringing-BOTH, not just one.

Once grown - around 12-18 months depending on their breed, you will have the rest of their life to spend playing and engaging in higher impact exercise. So keep it calm while they're still little baby puppies and give the gift that can only be given once.

Meet Molly, the Sweet Maltese Looking for a Loving Family

Have you always wanted a cute, cuddly dog that just asks for love and endless snuggles? Then Molly might be the perfect match for you!

Molly is a gentle, affectionate Maltese who’s about six years old. She was found during the Festive Season, but despite efforts to reunite her with her family, no one came forward. Now, she’s patiently waiting to find a new home where she’ll be cherished and pampered.

This calm and well-socialized girl adores being near her humans. She’ll happily follow you around the house and then snuggle up under a blanket on the couch for a nap. Molly’s ideal family is one that will keep her indoors, shower her with love, and appreciate her relaxed, easygoing nature.

If you’re looking for a sweet companion to bring joy and warmth to your home, Molly could be the furry friend you’ve been dreaming of. 🐶💖

🌟 Tiger & Thandi’s Journey to Healing 🐾 🌟

Today, our dedicated Field Officer, Solly Skhosana, rescued two beautiful Boerboel dogs from the northern side of Pretoria. Their names are Tiger and Thandi, but their heartbreaking condition tells a story of survival and resilience.

Tiger weighs a shocking 15.7kg, and Thandi only 17.5kg—a fraction of what they should be for their breed. Severely emaciated, riddled with ticks, and in desperate need of care, these gentle giants were immediately examined by our veterinarian. Thankfully, they are fighters and have started their journey to recovery.

Our team will be monitoring them closely, providing the love and medical care they need, and placing them on a special feeding regime to help them regain their strength. Once they’ve reached their ideal weight and are healthy again, they will be looking for their forever homes. ❤️

Tiger and Thandi are just two of the many animals brought into our care during this silly season. Every life matters, and we need your help to make a difference for these two souls. 🐕✨

🙏 Here’s how you can help:
1️⃣ Drop off nutritional food at our offices.
2️⃣ Donate via our PayFast link (use the reference: Tiger & Thandi).
https://www.payfast.co.za/donate/go/TshwaneSPCA

Together, we can give Tiger and Thandi the chance to start 2025 on a positive note—healthy, loved, and ready for a fresh start. 🌟

Let’s show them the kindness they’ve been missing. Thank you for your continued support, and let’s make this Festive Season a time of giving and hope. 💕
