Woolworths MyDifference replaces MySchool – with added benefits to you!

 

Pictured above: Joy and excitement as Chewy goes home with his new family!

Don’t you just love seeing animals that were lost, abandoned or unwanted finding love again? Experiencing the joy of belonging to someone … having a home … and knowing that from now on, life is going to be an absolute ball!

Stray pets have to be kept for 7 days before we are allowed to offer them for adoption. But the reality is that many dogs and cats spend weeks – sometimes months – anxiously waiting for ‘their’ person to come along and find them. And while they wait, other caring people (like you!) make sure they have all the good food, warm blankets, veterinary care and affection they need.

Thank you for the part you play in every happy tail at our SPCA. We couldn’t do it without your help. And if you’re looking for a new furry friend, be sure to visit our adopt pages to see the lovely dogs and cats waiting for homes right now.
