Huge thanks to Boehringer Ingelheim and Hill’s Pet Nutrition for your continued support to the animals of De Doorns!
Unchecked breeding is the cause of so much suffering.
Dragon here has been taken into foster, suffering from worms, malnutrition and tick bite fever…most of his siblings have died already…one sterilisation can prevent so much pain! If you can help with his vet bill please head to: www.sidewalkspecials.org/donate Ref: Dragon.
We promised his mum that we’d get a Care Pack sponsored for her! A Care Pack costs R450/€24/£20/$27 and gives one animal access to a full vet check, inoculation, deworm, tick and flea meds, sterilisation, a course of antibiotics and a bag of nutritious food! If you can sponsor please head to: www.sidewalkspecials.org/donate And use any donation option with the reference: ‘Care Pack’ Sidewalk Specials are PBO approved and can issue 18A certificates for all donations received!
The amazing faces of Ouma Moto and Wollie! Ouma’s companion since a pup, Wollie joins her on daily walks to help circulate her blood flow! Ouma would be delighted if her precious Wollie could see a vet!! 
Wollie approves of Hill’s Pet Nutrition, he didn’t even notice we snuck a dewormer in there!
Life on the dump is an unforgiving one…
…but with two sterilised, fat, healthy doggo companions, it’s a whole lot happier! Jasmin, Blackie and Molly say thank you for the Care Packs you donated on Steri Drive 10!
It doesn’t look like a happy scene at first glance…But for the Outreach Team we know that two parasite free, sterilised, fully inoculated dogs live here, sheltered in their warm kennels at night!
Babies raising babies but this young man chased our bakkies to get help for his best friend! NexGard, dewormer, antibiotics and signed up for Steri Drive 11…now he just needs his Care Pack sponsored…
So many emotions… Is it ideal? No. Did they try? Yes. Education backed by sterilisation is everything!
Another puppy dewormed and given NexGard, Hill’s Pet Nutrition food and a course of antibiotics- making sure he’ll be strong enough for Steri Drive 11!
Chains are one way to prevent your dog getting pregnant/ wandering in the township! However they’re also illegal and cruel! Where possible fencing is fixed or runners fitted, in Chip’s case, however, confiscation was the only option: https://youtu.be/RZZKlc2XBKM Chip still needs a home, eight months old and great with dogs and kids, for a meet and greet please email:  contact@sidewalkspecials.org
Checking up on Lulu and getting those stitches out: https://youtu.be/x1NuerQVuMA Lulu’s booked for Steri Drive 11, can you sponsor her Care Pack? A ‘Care Pack’ costs R450/€24/£20/$27 and consists of a vet check, sterilisation, inoculation, deworming, NexGard tick & flea meds, an antibiotics course, and a nutritious food parcel! Head to www.sidewalkspecials.org/donate and use any of the donation options with the reference: Care Pack!

We happened upon a mommy hiding in one of our kennels! Are we annoyed that our kennels have been given to an unsterilised dog- yup. Are we glad mommy has shelter for her and her pups- yup. Either way mommy is now booked in for sterilisation at Steri Drive 11.
The future’s bright for both of these beautiful souls!
Dewormer to make sure they grow big and strong!
It’s not hard to see the effects of unchecked breeding and the misery it causes, one rain fall and these pups are dead. Happily the Outreach Team always carries a spare kennel. Booked in for Steri Drive 11.
Lamb’s sibling ‘Nchoos’ is under Sidewalk’s care, healing at home! His owner Tumi is also learning about pet care and has her four dogs signed up to Steri Drive 11!
When you know they’ve got food but you just don’t trust ’em! Without veterinary intervention Tessa here won’t make the year! Happily she’s signed up to Steri Drive 11, can you sponsor her Care Pack?
People often ask if we help the cats too? We sure do, we’re aiming for 300 sterilisations at Steri Drive 11- we estimate 100 of them will be feline! Cats get full vet check, FIV tested, inoculated, Broadline treatment, sterilisation and a bag of nutritious food to go home with! If you can sponsor a cats Care Pack for R450/€24/£20/$27 please head to: www.sidewalkspecials.org/donate And use any of the donation options with the reference: ‘Care Pack’ Sidewalk Specials are PBO approved and can issue 18A tax certificates for donations received!
“Children are the world’s most valuable resource and its best hope for the future” [J.F.Kennedy] We couldn’t agree more…
Sadly we were too late for lovely ‘Harvest’ here, cancer of the nose, at least we found him and he didn’t suffer a drawn out death.
“If wealth was the inevitable result of hard work and enterprise, every woman in Africa would be a millionaire” [George Monbiot] The people of De Doorns have our respect, we couldn’t walk a mile in their shoes.
A rose amongst the thorns! All doggos signed up for Steri Drive 11.
Educating the children of De Doorns is changing the future of De Doorns’ pets…
Our friends at Underdog joining the Education Drive! 
So much fun for the kids…
But mainly for Jessie!
Cederik’s been working with us since Steri Drive 9, getting his dogs back from the brink of death from mange and tick bite fever. Did we consider confiscation? Of course! But then we’d have two more dogs in the welfare system looking for homes and one more owner getting another dog not understanding what went wrong the first time. Cederik want’s to learn and we want to teach him… Plus Bobby and Shakira are not against nibbling the odd leg.
Both are already sterilised but will be seen as inpatients at Steri Drive 11! Each Steri Drive usually treats approx 300 dogs and cats that are either too young/ old or sick to be sterilised! It’s a game changer being able to provide ongoing care to this community!
Village meeting, brief interruption to ask directions to any sick dogs they may know of…
We’re directed straight to ‘Hondtjie’ who we were told stopped eating last week. Ice cold, with blood coming from his nostrils, we suspected advanced Ehrlichia…
Loaded for the emergency vet, we could feel the ticks matted in his fur…
Sadly ‘Hondtjie’ died enroute to the vet…We are eternally grateful for Boehringer Ingelheim’s sponsorship of NexGards and Broadlines for our outreach and Steri Drives- it is literally life saving for the animals that receive it!
De Doorns, it’s people and pets, thank you all for reading this glimpse into their lives, if you are able to contribute in any way to Steri Drive 11 please head to: www.sidewalkspecials.org/donate And reference: Care Pack No amount is too big or too small, Sidewalk Specials are PBO approved and can issue 18A tax certificates for all donations received!
