Is your pet missing? Here’s how you can find it
There was a lot of fireworks on NYE, and many pets went missing.
The noise caused by fireworks on New Year’s Eve resulted in many distressed pets losing their way. Some Krugersdorpers reported their lost pets on Facebook.
A dedicated group of people took it upon themselves to create a group on Facebook, specifically for all the posts about lost and found pets.

Krugersdorp Lost and Found Dogs and Cats have hundreds of posts about lost pets with contact details of the owners and of those who have saved these poor animals. For more information, visit https://www.facebook.com/groups/382071075293945/about/.
Another page dedicated to reuniting fur friends with their humans is WEST RAND – GAUTENG ANIMAL RESCUE at https://www.facebook.com/groups/153369731664527/photos/.

People who have lost their pets can also contact their nearest SPCA. Since the Krugersdorp SPCA closed down, the Roodepoort SPCA has taken over responsibility for the Krugersdorp area. If your pet has gone missing, kindly contact the Roodepoort/ Krugersdorp SPCA on 011 672 0448 or visit their premises at 3 Nadine Street, Florida, Roodepoort.

Other SPCAs on the West Rand can also be contacted. Here’s a list of some of them:
• Randfontein SPCA
Corner Main Reef and Randfontein Roads, Wheatlands, Randfontein
Contact: 011 412 3114
• Westonaria SPCA
President Kruger Street, Westonaria
Contact: 011 753 1829
Krugersdorpers can also contact local vets as many of them take in lost and injured pets. They usually keep the animals for three days only before sending them to the SPCA.
Friends of Rescued Animals (Fora) have not taken in any strays during the festive period because they are filled to the brim with rescues that need homes.

Other animal welfare organisations can also be found on Facebook and owners of lost pets can contact them as well.
