GENTLE SENIOR LADY STILL LOOKING FOR HER RETIREMENT HOME 🥹

Lucy Lexington 👵🐕
Born: 2017

Breed: Jack Russel type (small in size)
Born: 2017
Female
✅️ Dog friendly, but meet&greet required 🐕
❎️ No cats & fluffies 🐈🐇🐤🦆🐹

Lucy was adopted, but unfortunately, at no one's fault, it quickly became clear that their elderly, deaf cat would be at risk. It was just not fair to disrupt his autumn years.

So, Lucy was returned and she's still looking for her retirement home. 😔

Lucy Lexington was surrendered to the SPCA after being neglected for quite a while and living on the streets ❤️‍🩹

Lucy Lexington's skin issues were quite severe and she will always have tissue scarring from the neglected damage. She he is on on-going antibiotics and special shampoo to ease the discomfort and get her back on track to being a healthy girl. ❤️☺️

She is a senior lady with the softest little eyes and heart. She was quite nervous of people on arrival but has warmed up to the soft touch of the staff and their gentle care. 😊

Lucy is dog friendly but does need time to warm up to them as she has had many a harrowing scare with dogs in her time on the street.

We would require a meet-and-greet with any potential doggy friends to ensure Lucy is comfortable 🌸

Lucy would be a lovely, quiet companion to anyone looking for a senior lady. ❤️

If you are interested in adopting please, contact the office on 📞 028 514 2083 for more information or MAKE AN APPOINTMENT to meet her.

STOMPI ❤️

Breed: Long, but short
Age: +-3 years

STOMPI was abandoned on a farm like bag of garbage and is now looking for a second start where he will be cared for and loved for the rest of his life.

Aside from obviously being a fine specimen of his breed from a long line of Stompi champions 🤭, STOMPI is an incredibly sweet and easy going boy that is very giving of himself. He loves cuddles and tummy rubs and will steal your heart when he curls up next to you like a little wood louse. ❤️❤️

ILLEGAL TRANSPORTING OF POULTRY CAUSES SUFFERING AND DEATH

On 20 March 2025 our SPCA was alerted to the illegal transporting of poultry on the N2 near Riversdale by the Mossel Bay SPCA branch. The branch put us in contact with the complainant who was travelling in the same direction and had seen chickens falling out of the crates and being run over by traffic.

We immediately requested assistance from Swellendam Law Enforcement to detain the vehicles until our inspector could reach them. The vehicles were successfully intercepted in Swellengrebel St and drivers escorted to our facility in Railton.

The drivers were instructed to unpack the crates which were over full with up to 15 birds per crate in 37 degree heat.

Sadly 62 birds had already succumbed to heat exhaustion and our inspector had to perform emergency slaughter on another 18 to spare them from further suffering.

The birds were immediately provided with water and they all drank thirstily.

The drivers were educated on humane transportation and compelled to purchase shade net before re-loading the hens to the correct capacity. 200 hens had to be accommodated in one of our dog runs for a number of hours while the drivers arranged for alternative transport.

A warning under the Animals Protection Act 71 of 1962 was issued to record the incident and education that was given. Should there be a repeat incident the warning will stand as legal precedent for possible future criminal action.

It was heartbreaking to think these end of lay battery hens had likely had few if any opportunities to exhibit their natural behaviours and the 4 hours they spent at the SPCA, scratching for their food and taking dust baths is likely to be the best 4 hours of their lives 😞

We thank Swellendam Law Enforcement for their diligence and Marlene from ODIN who assisted by providing live locations along the way.

UPDATE-ADOPTED 🤩❤️
HONEY Bee 🐝

Breed: Rottweiler
Born: 11/12/22
Female
✅️ Dog friendly, but meet&greet required 🐕
❓️Cats unknown 🐈
🏰 Home with high boundary walls

HONEY was surrendered because her owner couldn't cope with her getting out into the street for a walkabout.

In our care we realised that she is happy and relaxed as long as she has human company. She does protest when we have to leave at the end of the day and she has to go back into her kennel for beddy-byes 😴😴

She is super sweet and has shown no negative reaction to other dogs but as always, a meet and greet will be essential to make sure everyone gets along. Cats unknown at this point.

HONEY is a beautiful gentle girl and must go to a home with solid and high boundary walls (not negotiable), company during the day and needless to say, lots of love and care ❤️🥰

If you are interested in adopting beautiful HONEY Bee, please contact the office on 📞 028 514 2083 for more information; or to MAKE AN APPOINTMENT to meet her.
