This June it’s time to ‘rock’, or spend 12 hours overnight impounded in kennels, to raise funds for the Lower South Coast (LSC) SPCA.

The community and businesses are urged to support the two fun events. On June 11, the SPCA will be hosting ‘Hibiscus Impound’ at its premises in Uvongo.

The aim of the game is for you and a friend to stay a night (12 hours) in one of the brand new kennels currently being built.

• Please note the dog in this video is up for adoption.

Instead of being bailed out (as per the norm in events like Jail and Bail), you will need to raise money before June 11, in order to bring in your comforts from home.

R1 000 – will allow you food for the night.

R2 000 – you get to bring along a blanket to keep you warm, plus the above.

R3 000 – you can add a bed of sorts to keep you off the floor, plus the above.

R4 000 – you may bring along your favourite toy from home (cellphone, tablet or a good old book), plus the above.

R5 000 – you get to have breakfast before you go, plus the above. Each company or persons should try and promote their kennel as much as possible to generate as much funds as possible. There will be a large bonfire to keep everyone warm.

All funds raised will go to the running of the society, and need to be paid before June 10.

The second fundraiser is ‘Rock Against Animal Cruelty’ at Rocky Ridge in Ramsgate on June 19. There will be eight top artists and bands performing from noon to midnight. Tickets are R50 per person. Please donate old blankets and pet food.

Do a spring clean and bring unwanted goods from home to be auctioned.

The SPCA relies solely on the public’s support to keep its daily operation running, which entails campaigning for animal welfare, assisting in the prevention of cruelty to animals cases, rehabilitation and finding homes for maltreated and unwanted animals.

Local chairman Scott Kvalsvig said the monthly costs to run the society are astronomical, and the wear and tear expenses on their run-around vehicles are never ending.

“The inspectorate team covers thousands of kilometres of coastline, and far inland each month – to respond to emergencies and animal welfare related issues. It is crucial that we keep these vehicles running and on the road,” he added.

Mr Kvalsvig thanked all the businesses and individuals who have already thrown their support behind the events, and who regularly contribute towards the society.
