A loud calling for help came from the Mdzananda Animal Clinic’s front gate late one afternoon in July 2017. The Clinic had already closed for the day and most staff had gone home; fortunately, two staff members were still on site.

When we first met Stanley Jacobs and his beautiful cream-and-white dog, Meira, on Doring Road in Vrygrond, it was simply to treat her skin allergy but, upon closer inspection, we noticed that her left eye was closed and watering quite severely. Stanley was very happy for us to take Meira to be seen by a vet… but under no circumstances was he going to agree that we spay her. ...read more

In 2013 I rescued a little Yorkie from a caged environment (not a breeder), where he was cold, afraid and hungry for both food and love. I took him home to the sanctuary where he could run free among many dogs. But he didn’t; he wouldn’t let himself be free. ...read more
A homeowner living in a complex in the Mount Edgecombe (KZN) area contacted me asking for help in trapping a black cat that had been eating regularly at her place for the last six months.
