“Mandy’s owner took her to Dr Govender, who with much needed medical attention and care helped her heal. Sadly the owner decided he no longer wanted her and Dr Govender brought her into our care where she could continue her recovery and look for a new home,” said Kloof SPCA’s Brigitte Ferguson.

She was put on to a diet of Hills Pet Nutrition to boost her immune system .

“Her wounds were dressed and treated on a daily basis and steady progress and a lot of love from our dog walking team has seen Mandy gain in confidence . She loves going for walks and so enjoys company.

“Thank you Dr. Govender for caring for Mandy and thank you Hills Pet Nutrition for ensuring Mandy’s body was able to fight this battle with good nutrition and lots of love,” said Ferguson.

My name is Sanelisiwe Tsinde, and I'm a mother of two boys and very family-oriented. Being a community journalist for years, I can proudly say I love writing about positive community news articles and giving a voice to the voiceless. Seeing people getting assistance warms my heart. Every day is a different challenge and a new learning opportunity. I supply news for our trusted publication weekly, and a few years ago, Caxton ventured into online publication, so I contribute daily to the websites. I could say I am a multimedia journalist, and working in a community newspaper is beneficial as we do not focus on one thing but we do a bit of everything.
