Jillian was with HH Animal Welfare Societys since the early eighties as their fundraiser and Hon. Inspector.
She realised there was a special need to concentrate on the townships of Lwandle and Nomzamo so in 2003, with her daughter, Vanessa, started Township Animal Rescue, later to be registered as an NPO.: O39 758
Vanessa runs a weekly clinic on a Thursday in Lwandle/Nomzamo and often gets call outs during the week to attend to and bring sick animals to the vets for treatment.
We rescue, treat and re-home many dogs and cats. We have a free advertisement weekly with the District Mail and take our animals regularly to an Adopt-a-Pet at the local Craft Markets and Veldwinkels at Southeys Vines.
We are always looking for good foster homes, especially for very young puppies and kittens. Our vets are from Gordons Bay Animal Hospital and Helderberg Animal Hospital.
We run weekly clinics in the townships (Lwandle/Nomzamo) for minor medical treatments. We transport pets from the townships to local vets for major treatments. We have put a sterilization program in place. We rescue the neglected and unwanted pets for which we try and find loving homes.
Adoption Process
Prospective owners have to make an appointment to come to our house and sign the forms and pay R80. This sum includes the vaccination, de worming, etc. If a pup or kitten is adopted, the prospective owner is given a date for the sterilisation and will have to pay the animal welfare price (usually about half the private fee). All our adult animals have been sterilised.
