A Rotating Community Initiative<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To reach as many areas as possible, the Outreach Team operates on a three-month rotation schedule<\/strong>, visiting different informal settlements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This ensures that multiple communities benefit from the programme throughout the year, spreading care, awareness, and support where it\u2019s needed most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Boksburg SPCA invites all pet owners in the area to take advantage of this initiative. Whether your pet needs treatment or you simply want advice, the Outreach Team is there to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By working together, we can build healthier communities for both people and their animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
