THE Robin Hood Foundation (RHF) has raised R25 000 towards an upcoming community dog sterilisation programme.

The programme which will be held during the school holidays is a collaboration between The Kloof and Highway SPCA, Friend of K9 Trust and the Robin Hood Foundation.

Robin Hood Foundation chairperson Cindy Norcott said the community clinic will see the sterilisation and treatment of more than 150 dogs free of charge. “This will have a major impact on reducing the number of stray animals in the community. I would like to thank Dalgen Packaging and Janine Southwood for their support and generosity.”

Norcott started the Robin Hood Foundation 20 years ago. It runs more than 180 community projects per year aimed at impacting people and animals in impoverished communities.

The foundation’s projects are Bless a Granny, the Sarmie Army, Love the Babies, Gogo Bags and the Mahala Markets.

Kloof and Highway SPCA manager Barbara Patrick said, “The Kloof and Highway SPCA would like to thank everyone who supported the Robin Hood Foundation fundraiser at the Kloof Country Club; it was a fun, interactive and fabulous morning.

“The money that was raised will be used to host an Outreach Clinic from July 14-18. During this week community members’ pets will be sterilised, treated and we will educate the community and especially the children who are our future leaders and pet owners.

“All animals that are sterilised will go home after being sterilised, vaccinated and treated for parasites. We also send these pets, and their owners, home with food blankets and treats for the family.”
