How much is that doggie (or kitty)

VRYHEID SPCA urges the public to have a look at all the animals, big and small, cats or dogs, available.

It will cost you an adoption fee (donation) of R500 for a dog or R380 for a cat. This includes sterilisation, their 5 in 1 injection and deworming.

Research shows that people with pets are happier, healthier and more adjusted than those without.

Get ready for a new relationship that will give you years of love and companionship.

Keep in mind that you’ll be making a commitment that will also last the lifetime of the pet.

Dogs: While the rewards of owning a dog are greater than any other pet, so are the responsibilities.

All dogs need daily outdoor exercise, regular medical check ups, and a lot of attention from their owners.

To make sure you find the perfect canine friend, it’s important to choose a dog that best fits in with your lifestyle.

Cats: Cat behavioural traits do not vary as widely as those of dogs, even though each cat is definitely an individual. Just ask anyone who has a feline companion or two.

Ultimately, looks and personality are usually the deciding factors when selecting a particular cat.

Learn about the different types of cats and discover which will be your perfect pet.

If you don’t want to adopt, but care about animals, help out by visiting the SPCA and give the animals a bit of love and attention. They need and deserve it. Or you can help by donating food or money so these little four legged friends can also smile and be happy.
