Thousands raised for Benoni SPCA

Fund-raiser for the SPCA was a huge success.

Fluffy Mieke (poodle) is held by her mommy, Tokkie du Toit after her pamper at the doggy parlour. Mieke is two and a half years old and lives with her mommy in the Benoni Agricultural Holdings area.

The Paw It Forward Doggy Wash project raised money to sponsor the kennels at the Benoni SPCA on April 8.

Mystical Paw Prints, which is based at 162 President Brand Road in Rynfield managed to raise R5 281 through the project.

“This came from the dog washes, raffles, key rings and donations,” said charity co-ordinator Clarice Erasmus.

“I volunteer at the SPCA and Mystical Paw Prints have a good relationship with the organisation.

When organisations join forces, the outcome is great. Members of Mystical Paw Prints, namely Monique Shepherd, Clarice Erasmus, Sharlene Thoma and Charmaine Coetzee stand with SPCA member, Shelley Owens. Thoma is holding two-year-old Skippy.

“If animals are adopted at the SPCA, then they receive a 50 per cent discount for their first dog wash at the parlour.”

The staff members of Mystical Paw Prints are Godfrey Nemudzivhadi, Tom Banda, Theresa Makara and Edward Mpherwane.

Erasmus said although supporting all charities was important, they chose the SPCA because she knows the SPCA is a renowned brand known for its genuine love for animals.

Shelley Owens, the chairperson of the Benoni SPCA, said on behalf of the SPCA that she is so grateful for the donations and the outpouring of love from the community.

Sarah and Keon Kardolus cuddle their collie-cross, Zoé. Zoé is one and a half years old and she is a SPCA rescue.

Christa Small holds Skippy (Jack Russel). Small attended the event because Skippy was dirty and needed a bath and also because she believes in supporting charities.
