DOG SAVED FROM MANHOLE IN EERSTERUST
This morning, the Tshwane SPCA received an urgent call about a dog that had become trapped inside a manhole drainage system in Eersterust.
Our Inspectorate responded immediately and rushed to the scene. With the assistance of the City of Tshwane Water and Sanitation team, a difficult rescue operation began.
Working carefully together, the team managed to reach the frightened dog and safely lift the dog from the manhole. It was a true team effort and a wonderful example of what can be achieved when people work together to save an animal in distress.
Thankfully, the dog was rescued without any injuries. The dog was understandably shaken and suffering from shock after the frightening ordeal, but is now safe and has been taken to the Tshwane SPCA, where the dog can rest and receive the care needed.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the City of Tshwane Water and Sanitation team for their assistance and dedication during this rescue. Your support helped give this dog a safe ending to what could have been a very different story.
Every day, the Tshwane SPCA Inspectorate responds to animals in distress, cruelty complaints, emergencies and rescue calls across our communities. Keeping our inspectors on the road and able to respond when animals need them most comes at a significant cost.
If you would like to help us continue this vital work, any monetary donation, no matter the amount, will make a difference.
