Elijah- our little miracle!

Early on a Monday morning we received a call about a mare (female horse) that has passed away next to the road in Swaneville, with a foal (baby) with her, still drinking. We must please come and fetch the foal as the owner is nowhere to be found.
Trainee Inspector Matthews and assistant Micheal rushed out. When they arrived the mare was still alive, barely, but still alive. A very angry crowd refusing them to do anything grew bigger by the minute waiting for the situation to escalate. Matthews called Manager Inspector René who immediately rushed out. Luckily the state veterinarians also received calls and were also on their way. When they all arrived the vets did quick annalize and found the mare and severe billary and the foal is barely 8 weeks old. The owner was no where to be found but the crowd was insisting on just giving the mother an injection or find a replacement (bring them another, healthy horse). It was clear that the humane thing to do was to humanely euthanize the mother as there were unfortunately no turn around from the condition she was in.
René then called for back up to assist with crowd control for the safety of the team and the animals. Thank you to Car track members Hennie and partner who was on scene within minutes.
René and the state veterinarians then proceeded to relieve the mother from her suffering. The crowd then grapped the foal and ran. Mattews and Michael immediately chased after them. René and the car track team shortly behind them. They eventually caught them and with a lot of confrontations they managed to load the foal and rush out of the area to safety.
With a very traumatised foal in the back of our vehicle, we knew we did not have the facilities nor knowledge to take care of such a fragile creature. To start with, he will need to be bottle fed every 2/3hours.
René contacted Lighthouse Equestrian Centre, who provides therapeutical services and does amazing work for both humans and animals, asking if they are willing to take in the young foal.
Knowing the massive responsibility they are taking in, everyone jumped into action to get milk and everything ready the foal will need to survive.
With open arms they took him in. He was obviously very traumatised and weak upon arrival and took a few hours to calm down. They took him into their house for the first night. They slept in the stall with him, bottle feeding him through all the hours of day and night.
It was a touch and go, but thanks to the hard work and compassion from the Lighthouse team, he settled in.
After further veterinarian examination it was established he was actually only 4 weeks old.
He who is now named Elijah, is now 7 weeks and doing amazing.
He was truly saved.

We want to thank the Lighthouse Equestrian Centre team from the bottom of our hearts for taking Elijah in, giving him such a beautiful name. Giving him life. We know it was a life changing decision for your team.

We want to also thank Marinda from Landros in Rustenburg who immediately donated funds towards Elijah's milk, which is very expensive, right after she heard about him. She made sure he have enough milk for atleast a month.

Elijah will need a lot of expenses covered for the next couple of months.
Please help us by donating?🙏🏻

We are pleased to announce we have partnered with YapScan, a revolutionary new identification technique that will add extra security identification to your doggos powered by AI.

YapScan provides a free app where you can scan your doggos snout, register it on their database and have an added layer of identification protection should your furbaby go missing.

Randwest SPCA will be adding all strays and adopted doggos to the site, and every scan assists us in raising funds as an added bonus.

We are available for any questions or queries in this regard, we would love it if all our supporters jumped on board, download the app, give your doggos a scan and let's move forward into a future that gives us as many means as possible to identify lost and stray dogs.

Between two hoarders, petshops, piggerys and chicken outlets our team have been running their feet of for the month of October.
In a total of 39 complaints received in October, 684 animals were assisted.
Below is some of the pictures our team has dealth with - please note each inspection is being reacted to and animals are assisted in terms of the Animals Protection Act 71 of 1962.
The first hoarder a total of 174 animals were removed.
Second hoarder a total of 114 animals were removed.

This is what happens when you take/give your animals to 'anyone but the SPCA'.
It is scary how many animals end up in these situations because people just believes anyone who says they are a rescue - just to avoid possible euthanasia.
There are some rescue organizations doing great work in our areas, but please, there are fates far worse than death. Make sure you know who you are supporting and giving animals too.
Euthanasia is sometimes the most humane answer. Because alternatively they end up in situations as below.

We are now only at the start of the silly season and our team are already streched to their limits.
Please help by donating? 🙏

It's no secret that most animals are terrified of fireworks.

This is because they hear everything a lot louder than we do.

As they are unable to process what's happening many of them shake, cry, or even flee. As a result many of them get seriously injured, sometimes resulting in death. Fireworks can also cause animals to have seizures or heart attacks.

Instead of spending money on illegal fireworks this Guy Fawkes, why not buy a bag or can of pet food and help take care of our precious fur babies?
