Huskies stung by bees need help
NOOITGEDACHT – Swarm of bee’s attack 26 Husky dogs at the Husky Rescue Haven.
A swarm of angry bees attacked about 26 huskies at the Husky Rescue Haven in Nooitgedacht.
The dogs sustained hundreds of stings all over their bodies, and more severely in the face, tongue and throat areas.
Two of the huskies died as a result.
The rest of the dogs have been left extremely traumatised with severe reactions to the stings all over their skin.
Founder of Husky Rescue Haven Joanne van Niekerk commented, “We would love and need some of the more traumatised dogs to be rehomed or fostered. The dogs are on a special form of dermatitis food which is helping heal the effects caused by the stings on the skin. This is a very expensive form of food and any funds raised will go to the treatment of the injured animals.’’
Concerned resident and business owner Erika Loots of My Swim has come up with the concept of running a raffle to raise funds for the haven.
The raffle prize consists of – a Waboba ball, diving toys, swimming cap, goggles, beach ball and a beach towel, valued at over R800.
Each of the raffle tickets will cost R20 and all proceeds will go toward the Husky Rescue Haven.
Tickets will be sold at the My Swim school at Olivedale Corner shopping centre, corner of President Fouché and Olive Street.
