‘Jailed’ for the love of animals
Money raised from the Dog Box challenge will be used in the Kloof and Highway SPCA’s ongoing fight against the prevention of cruelty to all animals.
ANIMAL lovers braved the weekend cold weather and spent 24 hours locked in the Kloof and Highway SPCA kennels from Friday afternoon.
Thirty-four people were locked from noon on Friday, 26 May until noon on Saturday, 27 May for the annual Dog Box fund-raising event in an effort to help raise funds for the SPCA.
“The funds raised will be used in the Kloof and Highway SPCA’s ongoing fight against the prevention of cruelty to all animals.
Donations are still coming through at this stage,” said Kloof and Highway SPCA marketing manager, Lisa Mörck.
Mörck thanked each of the 2017 Dog Box participants for being part of this incredible fund-raising event.
“Your time, commitment and support of this event to make a difference in the lives of animals in our community is so greatly appreciated.
“A special thank-you to every person and company who made a financial contribution towards the ‘bail’ money of the Dog Box participants, and who contributed towards the fundraising event and helped ensure it was a great success,” she said.
