Pet Action needs sponsors to help paying for the sterilisation of pets.

Adopting eight hungry puppies and finding homes where they will have enough food and be sterilised in due time, is what Judy van Zyl of Pet Action Group did last week. She went to the Estoire house of Saartjie Badenhorst where there were not only 14 adult dogs (a mix between the breeds of a sausage dog and a Jack Russell) but also eight puppies in the bedroom, whining to be fed by their mother.

"We will adopt these puppies. We need to find homes for them and get them sterilised later on. There are too many dogs here," Van Zyl said at the time.

The dilemma of this story is that the owners of the dogs love them sincerely and need them for protection on the Estoire smallholding but they were struggling to get food on the table. Consequently, the dogs are hungry. Van Zyl also took food for the dogs.

 "It is so difficult when I go to places where the pets are hungry. The owners of the pets are also without food. So, when I take food for the pets, I also take a loaf of bread or something else for the people to eat. It will not be good just to feed the animals and not the people," Van Zyl said.

Apart from providing the dogs with food, Pet Action also helps to get them sterilised. If the public can assist in sponsoring some of the sterilisation fees, pet food, dog blankets or be of any other assistance, please call Van Zyl at 083 637 8491.
