The initiative is a hands-on community event aimed at helping vulnerable pets in under-resourced communities.

The ARO, based in Ottery, is calling on the public to make financial donations to buy supplies like food, leads, bowls, pet blankets, something warm for the owner and educational material on how to care for their pet.

Once packed, the bags will be distributed through ARO's mobile clinic, reaching pets in communities like Jim se Bos, Phumlani, Egoli, and beyond.
