130 pawsome years of ‘speaking’ for animals

This year is a special milestone birthday for the Durban & Coast SPCA. We hope you’ll join us in celebrating 130 years of ‘speaking’ for animals … of rescuing those that fall down drains or get stuck … of prosecuting owners who beat, starve or neglect their pets … of investigated circuses, pet shops and farming operations … and of teaching children to respect and care for all animals.

The truth is, you play a part in everything we do to protect our animal friends. We couldn’t have reached this milestone without your generous support.

Thank you for sharing our vision of a kinder world for all animals, and for walking beside us every step of the way.

Together, we can continue to be a voice for the voiceless, and a haven of hope and recovery for the dogs, cats and other animals that depend on us.

Don't miss the deadline! You only have until 30 June to swap your old MySchool card for the new Woolworths MyDifference app. After that, you won’t be able to claim specials in store – and animals at the SPCA will no longer benefit. So, if you haven’t already done so,...
