    The Sun City dog sterilisation campaign

    By MAKANA VETERINARY CLINIC 

    We recently visited Sun City, an area in Makhanda that desperately needs assistance with dog sterilisations. So many dogs here are on heat, pregnant or lactating, and we feel we must do something to help.

    Pictured are just some of the dogs we saw that we are hoping to spay and neuter – two of which are currently nursing small puppies.

    After Dr Amy Jackson-Moss’s Facebook post about euthanasing healthy dogs in animal shelters (which has received 18 000 likes, 8 500 comments and 31 000 shares), we have decided to use Back A Buddy (South Africa’s largest crowdfunding platform) to try and raise enough funds to sterilise 100 dogs within Sun City and the surrounding areas.

    We hope to drastically reduce the number of unwanted litters of puppies from being born into a world that sadly does not have space or the means to care for them.

    If you would like to contribute to this worthy cause, please visit our crowdfunding campaign: https://www.backabuddy.co.za/makana-veterinary-clinic.

    For more information about the Makana Vet Clinic’s work, please visit the clinic’s website www.makanavet.co.za or on Facebook Makana Vet Clinic.
