Springs SPCA has bid farewell to Maureen Foreman, affectionately known as Mandie, following her qualification as an SPCA inspector and her move to Cape Town.

Foreman, who has dedicated herself to animal welfare at the Springs SPCA, will be joining the Cape of Good Hope SPCA, where she will take up her new role as an inspector while reuniting with her family.

The organisation congratulated Foreman on achieving her qualification, describing her as a strong and dedicated woman who has given much of herself to the welfare of animals.

“Mandie, you are a strong, dedicated woman, and we have seen how much of yourself you give to animal welfare.

“It shows in the care you give the animals who come through our doors, and in the long hours you put in to help them. We know how hard you have worked to become an Inspector. We are so proud of you and honoured to have stood by your side through it all,” stated the SPCA.

While celebrating her achievement, the SPCA said her departure was also an emotional moment for the organisation, which will miss her presence, contagious laughter and the positive energy she brought to the workplace.

“Thank you for standing up for animals and for everything you have given to Springs SPCA,” said the organisation.

The organisation also expressed confidence that Foreman would continue making a difference in her new position, adding that the animals under her care in Cape Town would be fortunate to have her.
