Furry friends need good homes
FOURWAYS - 4 Paws animal shelter on William Nicol Drive has many dogs and cats that are desperate for good homes.
The shelter was started by Merinda Brits in 2006 and since then it has offered a safe haven to mistreated or abandoned animals, and also provides veterinary services to pet owners in townships like Diepsloot.
Brits said, “We pick up abused, abandoned or feral animals daily and definitely get more animals coming in than we can home.”
She added, “Some of the animals at the shelter come to us because they were strays or were feral but some have been abandoned by their owners and others are born and raised in the shelter.”
While 4 Paws has a lot of friendly dogs and puppies they also provide a home for dozens of cats that they also rehabilitate.
Many of the feral cats that 4 Paws provides a home for are now tame and enjoy being around people.
Brits said, “We always have more cats than dogs because people are not as willing to adopt cats.”
4 Paws has a number of good-natured and friendly cats and dogs up for adoption.
