Urgent Sterilisation Drive at 4 Paws and A Tale Rescue Calls for Public Donations Now
Written by: Media Update Editor Save to Instapaper
4 Paws and a Tale Rescue is making an appeal for public donations to help fund the urgent sterilisation of dogs belonging to families in need, says the organisation.
"We need desperate help at the moment," says Nicky Koekemoer, Founder of 4 Paws and a Tale Rescue. "Right now, we have seven female dogs needing sterilisation, four of which belong to township residents who simply don't have the means. We have another four male dogs and three females at the sanctuary who also desperately need to be sterilised. With demands for funds high right now, we are in need of public donations to assist."
The cost of sterilisation involves R1 500 for female dogs and R1 100 for male dogs, excluding vaccinations. For families living hand to mouth, even reduced costs are far out of reach. Without intervention, there is the likelihood of litters being born into difficult circumstances, says the organisation. Koekemoer explains that this is not simply a plea for funds but a call to prevent a cycle of suffering.
With temperatures dropping and food prices rising, the sanctuary costs have also risen dramatically. "We go through around 30kg of food every day, so alongside the sterilisation costs, any food donations or contributions towards food purchases are incredibly welcome," adds Koekemoer.
The rescue centre's charity shop — Tale End in Thira Village — accepts donations of quality second-hand items. This shop is a vital lifeline, funding food, medicine and sterilisations for the most vulnerable animals in Scottburgh and surrounding areas, adds the organisation.
