Funding Update: SAID
Good news! We’re just past the R15,000 mark. A huge thank you to all of you who donated towards providing 300 animals in townships in and around Gauteng with basic care packages. The care package includes deworming, tick and flea control, sterilisation, micro-chipping and vaccinations.
