Loving and taking good care of dogs in rural areas

By Mabasa Precious | Office Admnistrator

A huge Thank you for all the donations

This year 2022 has been so amazing, Our animal outreach is doing very well and martin who is in charge of the animal outreach program goes around the village to see how the dogs the are doing and makes sure all the dogs are healthy and happy by getting them sterilized and give treatment to dogs with health issues. This year we created a database where we keep a record of all the dogs we are working and entering new dogs information and attend them

All of this is possible because of our sponsors and we would like to thank you for your support and love. It really means a lot to us .

Kind regards

Precious

Our Dog outing to get their sterilazation

A short sweet update

By Sarah Bergs | Executive Director

Taking dogs to local vet clinic for sterilization

Sometimes we write a report with lots of barking, whimpering, and woofing (lots to say) and othertimes the quarterly update report sneaks up on us, showing how quickly time has flown this year. Covid-19 has given us all a new calendar, one managed by lockdown restrictions, and evolving changes and landscapes/rules to operate within. It has certainly been an interesting year!

Our animal kindness has continued however, with Martin still actively engaging with his community, and us slowly funding the funds and support to keep sterilizing dogs at the local community clinic. Transport issues, logistics, and riots have not been on our side, and there have been some challenges, but despite this we have still managed to sterilize a few dogs each month, administering 5-in-1 vaccines and rabies shots as needed.

In addition we have decided to focus on integrating animal kindness into our daily operations, and we have decided to work on teaching the children how to care for and look after their own dogs, by letting them learn at Nourish with the Nourish dogs.

Our beautiful Onyx is a gentle giant, and is willingly being led on the leash for short walks by the children now, with them calmly and confidently learning how to put on the collar and walk her. This might seem normal, but many dogs are not used to walking and many children have never had the chance to walk a dog on a leash (sometimes a rope is around the neck to keep them from running away but that is it..) To learn that you can have a dog as a companion and that going for a walk can be fun has been a learning experience on both sides.

Thank you for sharing this journey into aninmal kindness and welfare with us.

Animal kindness starts at home - walking on leash
