Through Boksburg SPCA\u2019s Outreach Programme, the team focuses on improving the lives of community animals who have limited access to veterinary care. A strong focus is placed primary healthcare (tick & flea prevention, dipping, deworming), education and the benefits of sterilisation is shared with pet owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Outreach Team focuses on an dedicated area – where needs are identified by our Inspectorate – on a three month rotational basis. Our team then service this area weekly, every Tuesday 12h00-15h00, so that we can have an impact on the animals living there.  The weekly programme encourages pet owners to bring their animals for treatment, deworming, dipping and any medical issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowledge on various illnesses is shared thereby making owners aware of when to call for assistance and our emergency number is made available to the community. With our door-to-door initiative the Inspectors and Field Officers take the opportunity to engage with owners and where necessary offer guidance in improving the living conditions, ie: appropriate dog\/animals shelters, ensuring clean food, water, chaining, suitable collars etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working weekly with the community builds good relationships, so that even after the team have moved onto the next location\/area, the community are able to call for any assistance needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
