SERVING LOCAL COMMUNITY PETS
Domestic Animal Welfare & Outreach
DID YOU KNOW: The Shamwari Foundation provides free vaccinations, skin treatments, and sterilisation campaigns for dogs and cats in neighbouring communities.
Any adoring pet owner will know what it costs to keep an animal healthy and happy. In our neighbouring communities, Paterson and Alicedale, fellow loving pet owners lack access to essential veterinary care to protect their animals.
Challenges Faced by Community Domestic Animals:
- Lack of access to veterinary care
- Infectious diseases such as rabies
- Malnutrition and untreated injuries
- Over-population
- Skin diseases and infection
The Shamwari Foundation Alleviates these challenges by:
- Vaccination and sterilization campaigns
- Treatment of infections, injuries and malnutrition
- Education on primary veterinary care
However, limited resources and accessibility remain
significant challenges.
