The K9 Project Watchdog needs your help
Donations to Project Watchdog go towards looking after anti-poaching dogs and making sure they receive care of the highest possible standard in support of the vital work they do.
SANParks’ K9 anti-poaching units are considered game changers in the fight against poaching. To support them, the K9 team has launched a new fundraising initiative.
Their branded masks and neck warmers can be purchased to support this very important cause.
• Masks (blue, grey or khaki) – R55 each incl. VAT.
• Neck warmers (blue, grey or khaki): R100 each incl. VAT.
• Collection in Johannesburg or delivery by courier for R100.
• The neck warmers are made from high-quality breathable fabric and are perfect for sporting activities.

Vaccinations, preventative medicines, optimum pet nutrition and safe, secure kennelling are paramount in ensuring a long and healthy life for these animals.
According to the website, the project has achieved enormous success. The dogs not only provide the rangers with a loyal friend and companion, but with the benefits of their incredible scenting ability.
Wherever they operate, the poaching figures drop and the arrest rate rises.
