We need to put out a Plea for food AGAIN, yes we know its only been a couple of weeks, but one of the companies that committed to giving food is not holding to the arrangement. We currently feed 120 kg PER DAY!
We have grown so much, and we always try to help when we receive a call with unwanted dogs / cats / strays that is picked up and of course all rescues. We currently have 318 dogs and 120 cats. We need to feed all these animals and we need people to commit to sponsoring food monthly.
Please guys if you can buy a bag or 2 and drop it at our shelter, if you cannot drop it, phone us at 083 375 3606 and we'll try our best to get to you as soon as we can.
We hate asking, but sometimes its needed like now. Also please see the offer here(PDF, 59KB) which is also a way you can help.

our pets only affectionate love and overlook the most important instincts of the species we obtained as a pet. In nature an animal's security is sustained by means of firm, confident discipline and instinctive behaviour. When lacking in the latter the animal loses direction, becomes unstable, confused, insecure and unhappy. The latter is in particular true in the case of our canine friends and to continue the focus on animal communication from last month's e-pages, we take a look at the meaning of some of the most frequently misunderstood human vs dog behaviours.
The biggest mistake we as dog owners make are to forget that dogs are animals. We tend to humanise the dog and its behaviour, overlooking the fact that dogs too have their own “animal” needs.
The truth is that dogs do not have the thinking capabilities of a human and therefore they do not 'reason' but ‘react.’ For example, a dog will
never premeditate his actions, meaning, he never think, “I am going to go and bite that mailman today.” It simply happened because he reacted to a situation that presented itself.
Humans misread their dogs on a daily basis and on a wide scale of issues. (Just imagine what it is like for a dog to be constantly misread and how confusing it must be for them.) By nature the lower in rank dogs look to the pack leader for guidance and direction. Most dogs do not wish to be the leaders or to run the show but only wish to be secure with their pack and clearly know their status. However, their instincts tell them that without a strong, consistent pack leader, they will not survive and they will try to take over if they do not see you as a consistent strong leader.
To be a pack leader and to correctly communicate with your furry friend you have to understand the animal in your dog. TIP: The Cesar Millan range of books and/or DVD's are recommended as an excellent guide to effectively communicate with, understand and control your dog and is suitable for every dog owner (from chihuahua to pitbull).

What is my dog saying?
Affection is wonderful and pets thrive on this human characteristic. However, too many times we give our pets only affectionate love and overlook the most important instincts of the species we obtained as a pet. In nature an animal's security is sustained by means of firm, confident discipline and instinctive behaviour. When lacking in the latter the animal loses direction, becomes unstable, confused, insecure and unhappy. The latter is in particular true in the case of our canine friends and to continue the focus on animal communication from last month's e-pages, we take a look at the meaning of some of the most frequently misunderstood human vs dog behaviours.

Sponsor A Spay
Animals depend on all of us for help and support and we would like to invite you to take part in our “Sponsor a Spay Project.” By donating towards spay and neuter procedures
or sponsoring a complete pet sterilisation you will help sterilise one more animal and give it the proper care needed.
Sterilisation is vital to stop abuse and over breeding of animals when they are not wanted.
Should you be interested in helping our sterilization program please download a sponsorship form here (PDF file, 30KB)
