Winter woes for Yellowwood Park dog rescue organisation
The NGO requires regular supplies of food and blankets to help injured, abandoned and neglected animals.
WITH Winter approaching, the pressure on rescue organisations and animal shelters is increasing.
NGO Yellowwood Park and Montclair Animals are now appealing to the community for help.
“We are a small organisation of dedicated volunteers who are determined to make a difference in the lives of needy dogs, cats and other animals in our area,” said member of the NGO, Juanita Reynen.
“One of the most important elements when rescuing animals is having a safe place to take them to while they recover and we find them loving homes. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you would like to become a foster parent or to adopt a new family member. Home checks will apply.”
