Hey Townies ❤️

As many of you know, MySchool has now changed to MyDifference, and the deadline to re-select your beneficiary is fast approaching — 30 June! 😳

With this change, each supporter needs to re-select Dogtown as their chosen cause. If this step isn’t completed, we unfortunately won’t continue receiving this vital source of funding.

These monthly contributions help us keep our heads above water and ensure we can continue caring for our dogs. The best part? It doesn’t cost you a cent - just a few moments of your time can make a real difference.

Please, Townies - if you haven’t already, follow the steps below and choose Dogtown as your cause. 🐾

Here’s how to keep making a difference:
1. Download or open the Woolworths App
2. Log in or register your profile
3. Tap “Loyalty” → “My Causes” → Select DOGTOWN SOUTH AFRICA.

Thank you for always standing with us and our dogs ❤️

🚨 URGENT WARNING TO DOG OWNERS 🚨

The Tshwane SPCA would like to urge all dog owners to remain extra vigilant following concerning reports of an increase in the theft of large breed dogs across Gauteng.

Breeds such as Pit Bulls, Rottweilers and other large or power breeds appear to be targeted. While the West Rand has reportedly been affected, concerns are now also spreading to areas including Pretoria, Witbank and surrounding communities.

There is growing concern that some stolen dogs may be held while owners search desperately for them, often offering rewards that increase over time, before the dogs are suddenly “found.” Sadly, there is also the possibility that some animals may be stolen for dog fighting, illegal breeding or other cruel purposes.

The Tshwane SPCA encourages the public to remain alert and to report any suspicious activity immediately.

🐾 Please help protect your pets:

• Keep your dogs safely secured behind locked gates and fences.
• Where possible, keep dogs in the back yard and out of sight from the street.
• Avoid advertising or showing off your dogs on social media or in public spaces.
• Ensure your pets are microchipped and that your contact details are up to date.
• Report suspicious vehicles, individuals or activity in your area immediately.
• If your dog goes missing, report it to your nearest SPCA, local vets, shelters and SAPS as soon as possible.

We ask the community to please stay vigilant and help spread awareness. By working together, we can help protect our beloved animals and prevent them from falling into the wrong hands.

Protecting animals. Serving the community.

🥶𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑 𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐊𝐄𝐓 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐆𝐎 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐏𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐊𝐄𝐍𝐃 🙏
If like us, you cannot bear to think of all the dogs in shelters and in the townships that do not have a warm home this Winter, please support our 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞 and help us to keep them warm.

We are collecting blankets for: The Dogs Trust (200 dogs), Dogtown South Africa (80 dogs), Paws R Us: SA (over 70 dogs), Happy Yappers Animal Sanctuary NPO 119-872 (225 dogs) as well as for the dogs in the townships that live outside (assisted by The Dogs Trust and Happy Yappers).

Although the shelters would be grateful for any blanket donations, there is one blanket that is not worth buying: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐭, this blanket cannot be washed (single use only) and is a choking hazard for the dogs. Please consider buying 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐲 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐭 (available at PEP), please see first comment for pictures, or any fleece blanket.

We (and the dogs that will be warm because of you), would be so very grateful if you would add a few blankets to your shopping this weekend and drop them off at one of the drop-off points below.
