“We are caring for 54 dogs and 8 cats at our 4 Paws and a Tale Rescue sanctuary, while feeding hundreds of dogs in surrounding areas, and we’ve just received another batch of puppies in need,” commented Nicky Koekemoer of 4 Paws and a Tale Rescue. “We cannot turn animals in need away, but this does mean we need to extend our sanctuary. That’s why we’re calling for donations of building blocks to extend our wall, giving more space for our beloved pups to run free.

Koekemoer said the running cost of the sanctuary, as well as their outreach programme, runs into the thousands as food, sterilisation, and medical costs all have to be covered. The NPO is wholly reliant on outside donations and community support, and the need continues to grow. For years, Nicky and her selfless team of volunteers have cared for abused and neglected strays, fought to prevent animal abuse, and re-homed dogs and cats to forever homes. Realising her dream, Nicky now has an animal shelter at her farm, but they have reached maximum capacity. Donations of building blocks mean they can accommodate more animals in need.Fund or donate building blocks which can be dropped at the Umzinto sanctuary or contact Nicky on 084 626 5508 to collect.
