Bail out your favourite “jailbird” from SPCA’s kennels

In the run up to the Kloof and Highway SPCA's Dog Box challenge, the Highway Mail will highlight each of the contestants and their reasons for needing your support.

Trayn O’Carrol and Gaynor Swanepoel said "Rescue us! We're barking mad."

The Kloof and Highway SPCA is gearing up for its 2017 Dog Box fund-raiser and 34 people will be participating in the voluntary lock-up.

The group will be locked in the 24 socialisation run kennels for 24 hours from noon on Friday, 26 May until noon on Saturday, 27 May to raise funds for the organisation.

“This is our third year hosting the Dog Box fund-raiser and it has to be one of the most sociable and fun events of the year for our SPCA. We would like to invite our community to come along and join in on this exciting event by visiting the participants in their kennels,” said the Kloof and Highway SPCA’s marketing manager, Lisa Mörck.

The funds raised will be used in the organisation’s ongoing fight against cruelty to all animals.

The NPO’s Moonlight Market will also be in full swing on the Friday night from 5pm to 8pm.

There will also be live singing in the tea garden as well as refreshments on sale.

There will also be a market on Saturday from 8am until 12pm.

Shane Cox said “Please donate with reference Shane Cox. This is in memory of my late sister, Cherise Cox of the Metro police dog unit. She loved animals and supported the SPCA but sadly she passed away after being shot while on duty in a foiled hijacking attempt. May her legacy continue to help all the animals at the Kloof and Highway SPCA.”

Natasha Williams said, “Help pay my bail as every cent we raise will assist the Kloof and Highway SPCA to keep doing the job we don’t have the courage to do ourselves.”

Sandra Pautz, ” He who allows his day to pass without practicing generosity and enjoying life’s pleasures breaths but does not live…”

Sue Du Plessis and Brenda Shepherd, “We are two old ducks doing it for the dogs. Please help us make a difference.”

Marlene Muir and Patricia Casten of Kloof Junior Buddies said, “Please donate towards our bail as we need to be back at school on Monday.”

Sonia Koenig said “I bark for those with no voice.”

Caitlin Naylor said “They sit for us, let’s stand up for them.”
