Working together for the Animals
Early December I heard that Jaymee Gobetz, an animal lover and active volunteer at Woodrock animal rescue in Johannesburg, would be coming to Cape Town for the holidays, so we organized to co-host a Tin Can collection event for a small shelter I volunteer at, called Imagine Animal Dreams based on a farm in Joostenberg vlakte. I had just done a successful Christmas themed treat raiser event with the very talented Lee from Belle Lumiere Foto in aid of Animal Anti Cruelty League during which we raised over 40kg of treats for the animals in their care.
For every 500g of tinned food donated you received a digital photograph taken by the talented Emily from Furtos, a photographer who photographs pets to raise money for animal shelters. Demi Preston from Button for Pets was happy to sponsor all the bandanas for the day and I supplied Rayne & Rose accessories for the pictures of our VIP 4-legged guests!
We’re happy to say that we were able to raise over 360 tins of canned dog food and 60kg of pellets, as well as a bunch of second-hand goodies. What an amazing community to be a part of!
Jaymee and I both have multiple rescue dogs of our own and believe that we need to be the voice for the voiceless.
