279 Steri’s down – 106 to go…

Share on socials

Sorry we’ve been quiet – the Sidewalk Specials team’s been busy busy busy! 😅💪🏻

The Little Hero Foundation’s amazing sponsorship of 385 sterilisations has had our team out weekly – collecting De Doorns dogs and cats for the first vet care of their lives 🥰

We’re 279 Steri’s down, 106 to go…😅

Shout out to NexGard South Africa for generously covering all tick and flea medication, to Pet Heaven and Montego Pet Nutrition for providing healthy food packs, to Aranda Textiles for your generous donations of warm blankets, to The Sports Concept Store for your support and bakkie sponsorship, and to Mooigezicht Estates for providing our wonderfully pink Steri Hall 🙌🏻🌈

Story in the photo comments…✨

Your last litter mamma! Pups dewormed, given tick and flea
medication and will be sterilised when old enough.
Skinny Mitzi is in for check up, still not strong enough for sterilisation but doing so much better.
Running weekly clinics allows the team to closely monitor cases.
Two little puppers take comfort in each other
There is nowhere this man is not willing to go to get a dog in
need - ladies and gentlemen, Gary!!
A dog showing clear signs of distemper is loaded for testing...
Distemper outbreaks are tough on the team, every dog we sterilise is inoculated against the disease but those who we haven't got to yet - or whose owners refuse sterilisation - often don't make it.
Another dog showing the tell tale shakes of distemper
loaded into this weeks group
Getting location pins is an art form
Young men bring their dogs to be sterilised
Same, same but different 
Loaded for the first vet visit of their life
A lady waves the bakkie down, no more kittens please, sterilisation is so wanted
Signing consent forms
All cats are vaccinated, sterilised, given deworming and tick and flea medication
and sent home with a healthy food parcel.
Dr Reena Cotton running health checks, what a legend she is!
In recovery dogs are coming round from aesthetic, tongues out, cosy on their Aranda Textiles blankets! 
the intake board tracks numbers, the patients need to be awake and home before dark,
in winter this means operations start at 7:30am 
Our amazing vets, we'd love you guys!
Eggy is in for her latest blood tests, this girl is beating all odds!
In the hospital wing, already sterilised animals are waiting for minor surgeries.
Our girl snaps positive for distemper. RIP. 
Another dog's test is negative, home with medication for supervision.
Another is not so lucky - we hate this disease.
In recovery Claire is getting a cuddle in
Sterilised and ready to live their best lives - we love to see it!
Our cat room benefiting from clear signage
Our sleep over patients await surgery
Cats are kept completely separate to reduce stress
Coned and ready for home 
Spared a life of breeding
Kitty surgeries always end the steri day
The team spotting who needs a new kennel...
An owner awaits her dogs return
Reunited!
NexGard is the biggest life saver in this township
Even though getting it in can get eventful
A local volunteer whose known for his love of animals,
Kyle's a blessing to the team!
Brother and sister waking up in their cones, surrounded by yummy food thanks to
Pet Heaven and Montego Pet Nutrition.
NexGard modelled by a slightly chewed hand
When you have to use braai gloves to handle a puppy - heart breaking -
no pup should be this scared.
When you learn it's not a fixable injury, even worse.
Dogs who are sterilised, vaccinated, dewormed, given tick and flea medication, have a
months antibiotics course and a healthy bag of food wait to go home.
Full of worms but finally warm and safe
Home time for this big baby
Snug as a bug in a rug 
Extra medications taped to dogs going home bags, we know it may be the
only time they see a vet so all ailments are seen to
Chicken is used to wake dogs, the most effective of methods 
Still working on saying goodbye 
Our lovely vets helping wake dogs up, cuddles and sunshine! 
Shoo-fly is dispensed en masse, fly strike is a huge issue with dogs here.
Someone's happy to see their mom 
Kisses goodbye 
Antibiotics course been explained in detail
The joy of having a responsible owner!
Cats are home, no more kittens just two happy pets free to live their lives!
This dog has his own outfit - we back it!
Coned and going home 
Gratitude 
Your donations help where it's needed most
Families can afford one dog, not multiple litters, sterilisation is the kindest
way of helping township animals and their families.
Dressing gowns for everyone 
Changing the future of South Africa's township animals one sterilisation at a time!

BequestS - Remember us in Your Will

One of the most effective ways in which you can ensure that Sidewalk Specials NPC’s work continues is by way of a bequest in your will.

 

What Can You Bequeath?

You can leave any realisable assets to Sidewalk Specials NPC, including:

  • Property and land
  • Money or stocks and shares
  • Personal possessions
 
Adding a Bequest to Your Will
 
If you wish to donate to Sidewalk Specials NPC by way of a bequest, please make specific mention of us in your will.

For example:

“I bequeath to Sidewalk Specials NPC (2017/316326/08) the sum of [insert amount or percentage of overall estate value]. “ 

If you have already drawn up your will, a bequest to Sidewalk Specials NPC can be contained in an addition to your will, known as a Codicil, which can be added at any time.

A codicil must be signed and witnessed in the same way as the will itself (although the witnesses do not need to be the same). It must be kept with the will, but not affixed to it.

For example:

“I, the undersigned, declare the following to be a codicil to my will. I bequeath to Sidewalk Specials NPC (2017/316326/08) the sum of [insert amount or percentage of overall estate value] “

Thank you for protecting the future of Sidewalk Specials NPC and the safety of the animals under our care. 

If you require any further information or advice, please don’t hesitate to contact us at: contact@sidewalkspecials.org
