Help! Storm leaves pets freezing
Heavy rains have devastated many areas in Khayelitsha, and our team has been wading through flood water searching for animals in distress. We have already found many dogs exposed to the cold, soaked, frightened, and without shelter.
The cold front has hit Cape Town with full force. The dogs and cats of Khayelitsha are struggling with every icy gust and every drop of rain. Yards are flooded, dogs knee deep in water.
Please make an urgent donation today so that we can help them.
At the moment our shelter is flooded and all dogs are kept in our hospital cages but blankets and jackets simply cannot dry fast enough to be washed and reused in time.
Right now, we urgently need:
• A new Speed Queen tumble dryer
• Warm blankets and jackets
• Funds to cover soaring electricity costs for heaters and tumble dryers.
Little Rosie and Ben, two puppies in our shelter, rely on us to keep then warm while they wait for their forever homes. Your donation will help us wash and tumble dry their blankets and jackets, keep heaters running through the night, and ensure that they have warmth and comfort during this brutal winter.
Beyond our shelter walls, township pets are struggling too. Many dogs are living in flooded yards without proper shelter from the cold and rain. Teddy is one of them.
While driving in the community searching for animals in distress, we found her stranded in a pool of rain water. She is now safely in our care.
If you are cold, imagine how cold a little dog like Rosie, Ben or Teddy is in Khayelitsha today.
Please make an urgent donation to help keep pets warm, dry, and safe this winter.
