The kind of news we 💙 to hear! A new pup makes lockdown more bearable...

Dear SPCA,

We adopted Pablo (now called Vlekkie – name given by my three-year-old daughter) on Thursday 26 March – just before the lockdown started.

I would like to thank the SPCA team for their friendly and very efficient service – from reception to inspection to veterinary care, and everyone else who was involved in the caretaking of Vlekkie since he was handed in.

Thank you for making the adoption happen at lightning speed so that we could offer Vlekkie a home before lockdown. He has adjusted so quickly. He is a confident pup with a healthy appetite and a passion for chewing. Watching him get the zoomies, or putting his entire face in my daughter’s little splash pool so that he blows bubbles has been a welcome distraction during this uncertain time we are all facing.

I have lost a pair of slippers and my daughter has lost some Barbie clothes and a wooden puzzle, but we have gained a friend which we are looking forward to taking on many adventures once we are allowed to leave our homes again. For our first trip, we will be looking for a destination with a dam!

Kind regards,

Estelle ... See MoreSee Less
