Sponsors needed for spaying of ‘underprivileged’ pets
Forty-five animals will be sterilised on the day and the public's help will be greatly appreciated.
THE Animal Protection Network (APN) is calling out to the community to please donate money towards the sterilisation of pets from underprivileged households, in an attempt to reduce breeding.
On March 4, APN Alberton is doing their first spayathon with the Brackenhurst Veterinary Hospital doctors and staff. Hopefully, it will be the first of many in their quest to tackle the breeding and overpopulation problems of pets in the Alberton area.
The pets that they will be sterilising are from underprivileged, homeless or unemployed households and, even though they are asking only R300 to sterilise a pet, it has been noted that some folk still cannot afford to pay this.
APN is appealing to the community of Alberton to please sponsor towards a sterilisation. Forty-five animals will be sterilised on the day and the public’s help will be greatly appreciated. Donations of food, collars, leads, blankets and snacks to feed the owners who will be waiting with their pets on the day will also be more than welcome.
Please contact Avril on 011 867 4431 or 082 965 5883 if you would like to donate or have any questions.
APN thanks Alberton from the bottom of their hearts for the wonderful support they always receive and invite you to pop by to say hello on the day.
