On the 12th of June 2015, Desiré (owner of Girls on the Move), her family and Jerry Selwane from SARAC set off to Sodwana Bay to help the locals with their furry friends. Sodwana Bay has a problem in that there are no vets or animal shelters (that we could find) to help the community with the upkeep and protection of their animals.

Des, Jerry and the gang set up mobile clinics to educate the community on taking care of pets and then got hands on by dipping, vaccinating and de-worming and dog that was brought or could be found. Prevention and education is the best protection we can offer our pets really! Thank you to everyone who chipped in to donate money, food and the medical supplies. The dogs and community of Sodwana Bay thank you!! Click “Read more” to see the photos.
Here are some photos of the outreach 🙂
