Delmas Animal Shelter needs donations

Located 40km outside Benoni, the Delmas Animal Shelter’s work in the community is often overlooked, leading to financial uncertainty while food reserves also run low.

Add continuous load-shedding and an increase in animals being surrendered or abandoned into the mix, and the facility is buckling under the pressure of ensuring the animals, which include farm animals, remain safe and well-fed.

Steadfast in its dedication to animal welfare, the organisation pleads with the community to support its work.

With mounting overheads, including veterinary costs, salaries for caregivers, and petrol to ensure their water pumps remain active during power outages, donations to keep the shelter running smoothly are urgently needed.

Some of the shelter’s furry residents are up for adoption, which, in turn, would put the organisation in a better position to welcome new animals in need of care.

For more information about the adoption process or to schedule a meet-and-greet, contact Jolandie and Jorinda Verwey, the centre’s founders, on 060 613 1048 or 076 808 6684.

You can make donations to the Delmas Animal Shelter NPC 2018\275291\08, FNB cheque account 62766608255, branch code 270244. Use your name and the word ‘donation’ as a reference.
