Two dogs left without attendance
RANDBURG – Two Labrador puppies abandoned by the owner in the Randpark Ridge
The Randburg SPCA received two black Labrador puppies, a male and a female, which were abandoned in the Randpark Ridge area.
According to the general manager of the SPCA Craig Rudman, the two puppies are not yet up for adoption as an investigation as to who they belong to is still underway.
Rudman added that the dogs were placid so children could play with them. “We would like to assure the public that the puppies are in safe hands and are being attended to by our caring staff.”
He said cruelty to animals, mistreatment, and abandonment were of major concern. The SPCA is reliant on the public for donations and community contributions and this helps the society reach their aim to prevent cruelty towards animals.
“We also focus a lot of our time on educating the public on how to properly treat their animals and the animals around them,” added Rudman.
The following are adoption procedures issued by the Randburg SPCA:
- Adoption forms, this also includes pre-home forms which should be completed before the adoption process can start
- Before adopting an animal, please do research on the breed’s needs and behaviours as well as your home environment
- A pre-home form is to be completed, one of our inspectors will inspect your premises by appointment to ensure that it is adequate and inline with the Animals Protection Act and by-laws for the pet you wish to adopt from the SPCA
- A post-home check will be done on the animal from time to time
- Before any adoption is completed at the society, we require the following: ID or driver’s licence, proof of residence in the form of a utility account, and if you reside in a complex or if you rent we require an original signed letter from the body corporate or landlord stating that you are permitted to have an animal on the property
- There is a fee required for pet adoption
- Sterilisation is included in the adoption fee, no animal is allowed to be adopted from the society before such time
