'Lend a paw, please'

As icy winds and heavy rains sweep through Cape Town, pets are also feeling the full force of winter.

- 

The Mdzananda Animal Clinic and shelter in Khayelitsha is calling on the public to lend a paw by joining its annual Wagging Winter Shoebox drive - a simple and heartwarming way to help township animals stay warm and well cared for.

“Many people want to help but don’t always know how,” says Marcelle du Plessis, Fundraising and Communications Executive at the clinic.

“With this campaign, you can directly support a pet in need by packing a box of essentials to help them through the cold season.”
