Hedgehog & Tenrec Rescue And Rehome Twenty-five-year-old Veronica Strydom says her passion for animals started early – growing up she had dogs, cats and horses. “Two years ago I took in a male hedgehog named Sonic. He passed away a few days after I got him, as he was not kept correctly by his previous owner,” says Veronica. And this is when she was inspired to save as many unfortunate animals as she could by creating Hedgehog & Tenrec Rescue and Rehome. “I would definitely say my rescue has grown tremendously since I started. I have learnt a lot more about how the animal community
works, and I have met a few amazing people along the way,” says Veronica. “My mission is and will always be to help as many animals as I can, and to educate as far as I go.” Veronica does all the work on her own – she takes in rescues, feeds them, circulates their photos across networks, and communicates with potential adopters. “My boyfriend Deon is there to give cuddles and love to the hogs and other animals when I am too busy to do it myself,” she smiles. The rescue is not only open to hedgehogs, but any animal crossing Veronica’s path needing help. “I take in reptiles
GET INVOLVED as well – such as bearded dragons, crested geckos and leopard geckos. And of course bunnies and tarantulas. “Finding the perfect home for each individual animal is so rewarding. Yes, it is a bitter sweet moment – but just the thought that I gave that animal a second chance in life is an absolute blessing,” says
