Bluff animal lovers flock to see snake-loving couple
The organisation relies solely on public donations.
THE Bluff’s animal-loving community turned out in their numbers to raise much-needed funds at the Snake City fundraiser held to benefit SerendiPitty Rescue, a KwaZulu-Natal-based organisation which saves abused, abandoned and homeless pit bull-type dogs.
Simon Keys and Siouxsie Gillett, recognisable for their snake-rescuing roles on Nat Geo Wild’s Snake City, are avid supporters of SerendiPitty.
To raise much-needed funds for SerendiPitty Rescue, the two hosted a fun meet-and-greet session at Amanzimtoti Sports’ Centre at Hutchison Park on Sunday, 3 February. Visitors got to meet the animal-loving pair for a chat, autograph and photo opportunity while also checking out their variety of interesting snake species. The beloved rescued pit bull, Oliver was a popular attraction, welcoming his many admirers to his kissing photobooth for a smooch with the pooch.
Established by David Hardwick, Nicole Jack and Candice Webber in 2018, SerendiPitty Rescue saves and protects abandoned Pit Bull-type dogs, providing full medical care, including sterilisation, before the animals are re-homed. The organisation relies solely on public donations. For more information email serendipittyrescue@gmail.com or visit SerendiPitty Rescue and Snake City Fans on Facebook.
