Animal Welfare Society Helderberg The Animal Welfare Society Helderberg is a registered Non-Profit Organisation. (Reg No: 002-963 N.P.O) We take in stray, surrendered, abandoned, neglected, injured and abused animals. We hold around 140 dogs and 80 cats. There are 26 paid staff members and a small team of volunteers who help with the exercising of the dogs and running of the charity shop. A house situated at 42 Reitz Street, Somerset West, houses the administrative office and the charity shop, the Jumble Inn. All income generated from the shop and the biannual bazaars go directly to the running costs of the Society. The kennels are situated in Gordon’s Bay, endeavouring to re-home many cats & dogs. The AWS Helderberg has a mobile clinic operating in Macassar, Eerste River, Tarentaal Plaas, Nomzamo and Sir Lowry’s Pass. At these clinics, the dogs are dipped against ticks and fleas, are dewormed, inoculated, given mange injections and the owners are given advice. Stray animals are fetched and taken to the kennels, where AWS Helderberg endeavours to re-home them. Sterilization is high on the agenda of the AWS Helderberg. The more animals we sterilize, the less we have to euthanize. Where possible, animals are collected, sterilized and then taken back to their owners.

Makhro Home and Garden is giving back! It is time to speak for those who can't speak for themselves. Makhro Home and Garden proudly supports Ukuthandwa Foundation’s The Joey Project. This project, which focuses only on generating donations towards animal shelters, was inspired by a true best friend and emotional companion. Makhro Home and Garden is the first business to get involved and agreed to donate R2.00 from each unit sold to their retailers of these chosen products during an agreed-upon period. When you are bothered by the various summer insects, we urge you to remember that it is not only us as humans who have to deal with the struggle. Please support our campaign and choose to buy Makhro Home and Garden products.
