THEIR love of animals inspired Westville siblings; Taamirah Aliyah Moyce (7) and Amelia Leeya Moyce (9) to use their savings to buy dog food for the Kloof and Highway SPCA.
The girls’ donation came at the right time as the SPCA recently shared a post on their Facebook page calling for dog and cat food as their shelves were almost empty.
