Wow! Wow! Wow! Pretty much sums up the absolutely incredible donation that we received from Beekman Group !

Over 4 tonnes of dog/cat food, treats, tin food, bedding, blankets and a dog kennel was handed over to the LSC SPCA this past Friday by an awesome group of Beekman employees.

This donation could not have come at a better time with our food stock at a low, and there are just not enough words to convey out utmost appreciation for this unbelievable donation for the Animals in our care.

We would also like to express our gratitude to Marta from South Coast Costume Hire for the use of the dog suit for this drive.

Look out for Domino our new mascot in the near future 😁

❄ COLD WEATHER WARNING ❄
We ask again to please take heed of the below advice to keep your animals warm and safe with the impending extreme cold weather.

Animals feel cold just as much as humans do.

🐾 Consider getting a jersey to help keep them warm.
🐾 Always ensure your animals have a dry, warm safe space to shelter in.
🐾 Clean, warm and dry bedding and if possible, an extra blanket or two.
🐾 If pets cannot come indoors, you should make sure they are protected by a dry, draft-free enclosure large enough to allow them to sit and lie down, but small enough to hold in the pet’s body heat. Raise the floor a few inches off the ground i.e. a rubber mat, pallet. Turn the enclosure away from the wind and cover the doorway.
🐾 Move other animals or livestock to sheltered areas in a draft free enclosure as above and make sure they have access to drinking water.
🐾 Use heaters with caution. The heater can burn your pet or be knocked over, possibly starting a home fire.
🐾 Watch for hypothermia. If your pet is whining, shivering, anxious, slower than usual or stops moving, seems weak or starts looking for warm places to burrow, get them inside quickly as they may be showing signs of hypothermia.
If you suspect your pet has hypothermia, consult your Veterinarian immediately.

For any Animal related Emergency, contact the SPCA standby line on 0832226355.

This coming weekend marks Qurbani - a time observed by many in our community through the religious practice of animal sacrifice during Eid al-Adha.

Our Inspectorate Team and staff will be stationed at sites across our area of operation over the next few days from sunrise to sunset to monitor the handling and slaughter of animals, ensuring all actions are carried out in accordance with the Animals Protection Act No 71 of 1962 and with the highest regard for Animal Welfare.

We wish our Muslim supporters a joyful Eid Mubarak.

For any Animal related Emergency, please contact 083 222 6355.

⚠️*WARNING - GRAPHIC CONTENT* ⚠️

The silent cruelty of snares.

This morning started with yet another heartbreak for the Lower South Coast SPCA.

A call came in from a concerned member of the public regarding a dog that was suspected to be caught in a snare deep in the cane near Margate Airport.

Inspector Maduna and Trainee Inspector Gumede rushed to the scene not knowing what they would find.

What they did find was devastating - a dog, a young mixed breed had been trapped for what must have been days.
The wire and cable snare had cut deep into his body - down to the bone, and infection had already started to set in. He was thin, dehydrated, and in excruciating pain. Yet somehow, he still wagged his tail when he saw them - broken, bleeding, and still trusting.

The Inspectorate team quickly and carefully cut him free and brought him into our Clinic for immediate Veterinary attention.

After assessment, our Clinic Team were shocked and saddened by the extent of his injuries.

The kindest thing we could do was to humanely end his pain.

He slipped away peacefully - finally free from the agony the snare had inflicted.

Snares are silent killers. They do not discriminate. They are set to catch our dwindling Wildlife, but all too often, they catch domestic animals and livestock.
The cruelty lies in the design: to trap and hold by pain, to tighten with every movement, to cause hours or days of unimaginable suffering before death.

Whoever set this snare may never know what pain they caused, but we know - we saw it in his eyes.

If you walk in nature and see a snare, report it.
If you suspect illegal snaring, tell us.
Speak up - be the voice for those cannot speak.

Let his death not be in vain. Let it spark change.

In the month of April alone, our Inspectorate travelled over 10000kms attending to cases like this and many others.

We face many challenges daily, and your donations can help us continue the vital work we do in the ongoing fight Against Animal Cruelty.
