The aim was to help create awareness for animals living in the underprivileged and very poor communities.

WHILE the 2016 Dog Box Fundraiser was underway, the Kloof and Highway SPCA also hosted a mini spay-a-thon in its education centre for people to get a glimpse of how the outreach sterilisation clinics work on a much smaller scale.
“The idea was to help create awareness around where the funds raised from the Dog Box will be allocated to the Kloof and Highway SPCA outreach clinics during 2016, which reach out to animals living in the underprivileged and very poor communities in abject poverty,” said Lisa Morck, the PR and outreach officer at the Kloof and Highway SPCA.
“A very special thank-you to local supporting veterinarians, Dr Judy Ratner, Dr Nicky Evans and Dr Anthony Zambelli of Inanda Veterinary Hospital and Specialist Referrals, Dr Annie Sharp of St Helier Veterinary Hospital and Specialist Centre, Dr Alison Minnie of Everton Veterinary Clinic and Dr Grant Emmerich from Blair Atholl Veterinary Clinic, for making this spay-a-thon possible and for volunteering their time to sterilise animals from the underprivileged and indigent surrounding areas of our community.
