SO MANY LOSSES<br />
Last month we lost some very<br />
dear people and dogs. We lost<br />
an amazing woman Samantha,<br />
who had been a force to<br />
reckon with in the animal<br />
welfare world. She had<br />
supported our work in so<br />
many ways over the years and<br />
will be sorely missed.<br />
We also lost Verena, a dog that<br />
we had done everything we<br />
could for. In the end she died<br />
from Leishmania at the arms<br />
of her foster, who loved her<br />
dearly.<br />
PROGRESS WITH THE<br />
MUNICIPALITY<br />
We work tirelessly with the<br />
local municipality to make<br />
them part of the solution for<br />
strays problem.<br />
Now for the first time we held<br />
an animal welfare weekend,<br />
which was concentrating on<br />
volunteers as well as on the<br />
public. Vets, trainers and other<br />
specialist were giving advice<br />
and education while 150 free<br />
microchips were given to<br />
those who needed them.<br />
