Go back to our April stories !
Remember the emaciated greyhound Buddy?

NAWA doesn’t often confiscate because we rather educate and follow up BUT confiscated him properly!
Papers were signed and we were not accepting leaving NeuSchwaben without him in March 2026.

That was 3 and a half months ago, right?

Please see the following video to fill your hearts with hope in the human race again.

Thank you again to 💖Tanya and 🤩Francois for uplifting a sad soul, who had literally given up.

🎉Are you ready for the good news?

Two and half days in and around the Stampriet and Aranos settlements with 1000kms travelled and depleted medicine stocks, NAWA’s vet team returns to Windhoek for a quick rest and reboot!

🤩With local vets jumping in to assist and local shop owners bringing sustenance for all, the surgeries mounted up quickly.

Seventy, yes 70, cats and dogs in total were spayed and neutered and are now NOT adding to the area’s over-population.

💉💊All animals received vaccinations and parasite control so will be living their ‘best life’ from this point on.

🐶😺Thank you to all of the sensible, caring humans who took the time to do the right thing for their beloved pets… NAWA salutes you!

We will be back, Stampriet and Aranos. Thank you for being so hospitable 🙏🏻

THANK YOU and

When Namibian children already appreciate good animal welfare. Thank you sounds so much sweeter from the young💞

🎉Day 2 update!

The NAWA team and local volunteers have spayed and neutered…

🐾🐶😺 36 cats and dogs in the Soetdoring area of Stampriet!

Wahoooo!!

NAWA leaves very lucky cats and dogs who now have a healthy and long life ahead of them, in the loving care of the families who made the right/smart choice and brought them to NAWA for spaying, neutering, vaccinations and much needed parasite control.

🌟Exhausted, happy and busy with sterilising the surgery as we speak because tomorrow the NAWA surgical trailer heads 100 kms away to the Aranos settlement.

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻There will be more thank you’s to our sponsors at the end of the outreach but accept some thanks now, and

NAWA on the road again. Yaay!

The vet team is heading South this time with our surgical trailer to the beautiful Eirup, Stampriet and Aranos areas.

The plan is to spay and neuter (plus vaccinate) as many companion animals as we can for the rural communities that service the farms in the area.
It is important at ANY time of the year but especially at this time because it prevents unwanted litters heading into Spring, and the wet season, which presents all sorts of zoonotic diseases which puppies are prone to and can pass on to the community members they live with.

📌Plus it reduces the number of stray animals on streets and in shelters,
📌Plus it helps pets live longer, healthier lives by lowering their risk of certain cancers and dangerous infections.

🤩Watch this space for our report and pictures in a couple of days.

🤩 NAWA’s hard work, passion and dedication to Namibian communities and their animals has made front page! 🙌

Thank you Namibia, Capricorn Investments, LaFrenz Trust, Foundation of the Horse, Animal Aid Abroad and, for every private donation made by YOU🥰

Yes! NAWA has been quiet on the socials because we have been busy!

VERY busy with:

🐶😺Spay and neuter outreaches
Emergency life saving treatment and care
Emergency surgical procedures
🐎🫏Horse and donkey treatment and guidance
Criminal cases
New staff appointments

And all, while turning up for duty every Monday and Thursday at our static practice in Groot Aub to service the dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, goats, chickens and the odd rabbit and pig that belonging to the 16 000 plus Namibians who live there.

Phew!

A massive thank you to those who ensure our work is possible:

- the individuals who pop what they can afford into our account🙏🏻
- the corporates who partner with us in ways that words of thanks cannot do justice
-those that sponsor our accommodation, fuel, printing, animal tack and food donations💖
- those who report animal welfare issues and care enough to pick up a phone

In these everyday spaces, learning happens naturally. Children gather, adults pause, and stories spark questions, laughter, and conversation.

With each page turned, the stoep becomes more than a resting place… it becomes a place of curiosity, connection, and learning. Namibian Animal Welfare Association is even making a stoep in front of a shop a classroom....
