paypal.me/Trix4Animals I started Trix 4 Animals as a way to create awareness on the high amounts of animals in need of homes. I then realised this was more than a project and was actually a calling. I left my job of 17 years to pursue Animal Welfare full time. This meant that I lost all incomes and had to rely on donations from supporters and animal lovers to ass

ist me in feeding and caring for the strays I have in kennels and also to assist in vet bills for sick and/or injured doggies that I might get in. I am in the process of finalising my NPO where I will then be able to offer tax certificates to companies and individuals for any financial donations given. What is Needed? What we need most for our dogs is wet and dry food for medium and large breed dogs. We prefer to stick to one brand as mixing brands tend to upset their tummies. Alpo, Pedigree and Montego are the first choices as they are well priced and really healthy for the dogs. Financial assistance to help construct 9 kennels to house the 11 rescues that need to be removed from the boarding kennels by 30 November 2013. Projects:
Trix 4 Animals is involved in a few projects. Below are the main aspects of what Trix 4 Animals is involved in.

1. Promoting Sterilisation and micro-chipping
Trix 4 Animals is very pro-sterilisation due to the millions of animals that are being euthanised yearly in SA. We are very anti-breeding as the supply far outweighs the demand and statistics prove that only one puppy per litter actually finds the perfect home. The others are dumped at shelters, given away in the Junkmail to total strangers or die of disease from not being vaccinated yearly etc. Trix 4 Animals is also a promoter of micro-chipping as that is your ONLY proof of ownership should your pet go missing. We have started our own micro-chipping service in Gauteng where we will go to interested parties homes and micro-chip their pets for a fraction of the costs at some vets. The chips are KUSA recognised and have no annual fees and are traceable through all universal chip scanners. This allows for pet owners to be able to afford to micro-chip their pets as some vets charge very high rates.

2. Assisting owners to re-home their pets
I have noticed how many people are downsizing to smaller homes, emigrating, getting divorced, being retrenched and just HOW MANY animals are in the Junkmail “Free to a good home” and I decided to assist these people in networking their pets on their behalf. Any interested parties then contact me are requested to complete an adoption application form and we conduct home inspections to ensure the dog is well suited for the family and their lifestyle and also that the dog will be cared for and safe at all times. If the home is approved the family sign an adoption contract, pay an adoption fee to cover the vet bills and are then able to take ownership of their dog. The fees we charge depend on what the animal is in need of. ALL our animals we rehome will be micro-chipped, fully vaccinated, de-wormed and sterilised. We also send out yearly reminders to adopters of the annual vaccinations that are due.

3. Helping strays / unwanted animals where possible
Currently I have 11 adult dogs that are being kennelled in Pretoria. They are all in need of homes desperately as some have been there for a year now. I am not taking in anymore dogs as I do not want to take on more that I can handle. I try not to go above 10 dogs as I have severe financial limitations. I tend to their health and wellbeing and cook Chicken and Rice or Mince and Rice for them once a week as a treat. I have another 8 dogs in various foster homes that I am trying to find permanent homes for. Most are stray / unwanted female dogs that are pregnant or have just given birth
I then have another dog that is still with her owner but is in desperate need of a new home.

4. Other tasks we are involved in

All in all we are in this for the animals. We prefer to remain on our own and to remain small and personal as we feel that the politics out there in this industry can be soul destroying. We build relationships with the ex and new owners and try to wherever possible help other shelters in networking the animals they need to home. We especially like to network the SPCA animals as their time is very limited and they are very deserving of loving homes. We assist the majority of the shelters in advertising their events and fundraisers and try where possible to attend these events too as a way to support them. We also assist a few vets in Pretoria by taking photos of and networking the strays that they get in from time to time. If no owners are found we assist the vets in rehoming the dogs. We assist the majority of shelters with home checks in the Pretoria East region

Some of our life beliefs are:

Until there are none, Rescue one
Adoption is the ONLY option
Don’t breed or buy while shelter animals die
Second hand pets make first class family

Good reasons to adopt from shelters......

Animal shelters are saving animals each day and you can free up cage space and enable them to help more animals
You can give an animal a second chance
You can help to prevent more unwanted kittens and puppies from being born as the shelters will organize to sterilize your pet
You help to discourage people from allowing their pets to breed, and then selling the innocent puppies or kittens to pet shops, who often have no scruples and give a kitten or a puppy even to someone who is under age if they have the fee (often as little as R40). Even children are allowed to take home a kitten or puppy without parental consent and then the animal usually ends up dumped at the SPCA or on the street. You are saving money because shelters charge a once off fee that includes costs of vaccinations and sterilization of the animal

YOU ARE OFTEN SAVING THE LIFE OF THE ANIMAL THAT NOBODY ELSE WANTED!

🎉🐾 A Very Special Birthday Duo! 🐾🎉

The 20th of March is a very special day for two incredible women behind BarkingMad SA — Tracy McQuarrie, our passionate Founder, and Trix, our tireless Adoptions Manager.

Two women.
Two huge hearts.
One shared mission — changing the lives of pets who need a second chance. ❤️🐶

This year, Trix, founder of Trix 4 Animals South Africa, is turning 49… and instead of asking for gifts, cake, or candles, she has made the most beautiful birthday wish.

Her wish?
To help the dogs. 🐾

So we’re hoping to find 49 kind hearts (or even more!) who would like to celebrate with us by donating R100 in honour of Trix’s birthday.

Each small gift helps us continue the work we love so much —
✨ transporting rescued dogs to safety
✨ providing care and support
✨ and helping them reach the families who will love them forever.

For the dogs waiting patiently for their second chance, this birthday wish could change everything. 🐶❤️

🎂 Will you be one of Trix’s 49 birthday heroes?

Every R100 brings us one step closer to more happy endings and wagging tails.

Let’s turn this birthday into something truly magical — for the dogs who need it most. 🐾💙🧡

Boiki is a big round ball of hair. His matted hair was sorted out today at Woofels. He looks and feels so much better.
Boiki is a 7 year old Pikengese. We know he would love a new home. He is unsure in the kennels at the moment, and may come across a bit grumpy. But that soon changes when he realises he's getting all the attention.
His adoption fee is R1200, which includes his sterilisation, microchip, vaccination and deworming.

Does no one have a teeny space on their couch for this cutie patootie? Yes, he is a garden piranha - But aren't they all???

⭐GUESS WHO HAS FINALLY LEFT THE BUILDING!!!!! ⭐
Go well precious Jelly!! Enjoy your new daddy 💝

MEET JELLY!!! (GAUTENG)

Teeny teeny Jelly is a super cute 8 year old Miniature Pinscher in need.

He is the loveliest little boy who will be your protector and just wants to be near his human.

He loves playing outside with his ball and other toys. He is a big lover of going with for car rides.

As you Min Pin lovers are aware, these little guys are very feisty and cheeky and he would be best suited as an only pet or with a tiny female. NO males and no medium or large breed dogs. He does not get along with children nor cats.

He loves his daily walks but does get a little firecracker-ish when he sees other animals, so a good grip on the leash is needed.

The best home we could find for him is one where there is someone home all day, maybe retired and willing to give and get a LOT of love.

Please note, we will only be accepting applications from families that know and understand the breed and needs of the breed.

To adopt Jelly, please WhatsApp text us on 0630406071 or email us on [email protected]
