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.
