Mr J. le Roux | AWS SA President

The Animal Welfare Society of South Africa was founded in March 1929. Our organisation is member-based, non-governmental and an autonomous NPO and registered PBO established to ensure the rights, health and welfare of all animals.

Over the past 93 years we have consistently executed our Mission to champion the cause of all animals We have achieved this through:

• Professional veterinary care

• Inspectorate services

• Humane education, Sterilisation and Outreach projects

• Successful adoption and foster programmes that every year places many animals in loving forever homes

The Society relies almost solely on donations and does not receive state funding Humane education as a pro-active animal cruelty preventative measure is pivotal in all we do

At any one time we can house in excess of 175 sick or injured animals We are committed to sterilising and microchipping every animal that comes through our hospital as part of our contribution towards reducing the number of strays, homeless and unwanted animals in the Cape Metro

The Society has an Animal Care Centre, where we take in stray, homeless, unwanted, abused, and abandoned animals and find them their forever homes All animals at the centre are medically assessed, vaccinated, treated for internal and external parasites, microchipped and sterilised before leaving our care

We offer a full range of veterinary services to the underprivileged and disadvantaged communities of the Cape Metro From our base in Philippi, we handle about 4 000 animals per month Our clinic is open 7 days a week to accommodate those who are unable to bring their pets during the week We have 4 fully-equipped and very busy theatres where we do sterilisations, orthopaedic operations and many other procedures

Our Inspectorate Department responds to daily calls for cases relating to animal cruelty and general neglect of animals, as well as ongoing reported cases of animal fighting in our communities We often respond to reports of injured stray animals – large and small – on our public roadways by our City’s Traffic Department, SAPS and Law Enforcement We also assist with the treatment and care of wildlife

PATRON’S MESSAGE

It is now 6 years since I proudly became Patron of AWS SA and I am pleased that it continues to go from strength-to-strength.

The Isdell Sterilisation Clinic is well used as well as the walk-in Vaccination Clinic which opened on Mandela Day

It is both heart-warming and encouraging that AWS is being more appreciated by the wider community and we were the beneficiary in 2022 and now in 2023 for the OUTsurance Gun Run!

Well done with thanks to all staff, volunteers and everyone involved for your input This year we will see a huge change when we can go ‘off grid’ so treatments and operations will no longer be interrupted by loadshedding

My sincere thanks to all donors, trusts, foundations and corporations for helping sustain us We appreciate your commitment and support Looking forward to a successful 2023!

Best wishes

Pamela Isdell AWS SA Patron

It occurs to me that being the President of Animal Welfare Society is very different from being the President of South Africa and the ANC.

President Cyril Ramaphosa finds himself in an extremely difficult position with:

• Eskom failing to provide the country with the electricity it needs;

• The cost of living getting out of hand;

• Excessive and increasing unemployment and poverty;

• Competing and squabbling factions within his own cabinet and party;

• Corruption, crime, poor governance, poor leadership being the order of the day

On the other hand, I can report, as nonexecutive President of Animal Welfare Society that at AWS we have:

• Great team work;

• Whilst there are problems at AWS, we solve these by being solution-driven;

• Exco Meetings are positive and productive;

• There are no factions;

• The team comprising Exco, management, staff, our Patron, our sponsors, our benefactors and the public are all pulling together and ensuring that AWS successfully provides quality veterinary services to the animals of low income pet owners in what isn’t exactly “blue chip” areas

So, to conclude, thanks to all and well done to those who work for and support AWS You continue to make a difference in a country that is struggling

John le Roux AWS SA President

“Like a shining city on a hill”…….that is the image that came to my mind when I heard the heart-warming stories of the heroic youngsters from the surrounding townships who carry their beloved but injured pets great distances to have them cared for by the heroes at AWS.

Why do these children do this? They somehow know that this brilliant “shining” Society will welcome them with open arms and skilled veterinary staff ready to assist

AWS is not, of course, “on a hill”, but is firmly rooted in the Cape Flats communities that it has served for more than 90 years thanks to your support The dedication and perseverance of the AWS staff, the ones who show up day in and day out to carry out the AWS mission, are truly inspiring

OUTGOING CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

Veterinary activity levels at AWS have remained remarkably high during these last few challenging years We also remain quite determined to expand our mass sterilisations campaigns at the on-site Isdell Clinic, to address the larger and chronic problem of animal overbreeding in some of our communities

The Society looks to the future with confidence that the sterling work of Dr John McMullen and his team will carry us forward towards a full century of community service

It is a real privilege to serve as a volunteer supporter of the AWS mission, and we invite you to join us in this most rewarding endeavour

Dr Jim McNamara Outgoing AWS SA Chairman

INCOMING CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

There are around 1 billion dogs globally, 15 million in South Africa of which 27% are strays Around 50% of South Africans cannot afford a veterinary service, far higher than the world average 70% of South Africans find it difficult to own a dog whilst living in these tough times

Despite the poor statistics, there is an openness to adopt from an organisation which can provide sterilisation and quality medical care and here AWS SA shines out with its almost 100 years of history on the Cape Flats

By way of introduction, I have been involved with AWS SA for over 30 years with the gardens and maintenance and have watched the society flourish during this period

When we moved on to a farm in Philippi many years back, we decided it was time to adopt a dog So… off we went to the AWS as adoption was the best option and adopted not one but two beautiful dogs That same day I met an amazing lady by the name of June Woodman who was our CEO at the time June and I got chatting about the AWS and what I did for a living, my journey began then

“We should not buy a dog, but rather rescue those in need, thus freeing them from their sufferings by giving them love, care, and shelter” – Anon.

I offered to assist the AWS with plants from our nursery to beautify the grounds June and I became good friends with her often popping into the nursery to get her plants or just for a chat How I miss this amazing lady

I have continued assisting the AWS wherever needed By getting directly involved with Dr Mac after June’s passing, my passion for the AWS just grew I am now able to dedicate more of my time and passion to this amazingly worthy cause by serving as Chairman of the Executive Committee and opening a second shop in my nursery in Ottery, that offers easy access to anyone wanting to support a great cause

My vision for the immediate future also includes the opening of a profitable takea-way shop that we envisage to outsource to two very enthusiastic ladies in the near future; and an in-situ second-hand shop catering to the needs of our constituency and their pets

In closing, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Dr Mac our CEO and Vice Chairman for his selfless mentorship and for always being there for us all It is an honour working with you Dr Mac!

A big thank you to Allan, for always being there to take my calls, you do amazing work and Carmen for her 27 years of devotion to the AWS

To our Adoptions Team and amazing volunteers, thank you for helping AWS rehome our beautiful fur babies Without you the dogs in our kennels would not find their forever loving homes

To our magnificent Executive Committee, thank you for appointing me as your Chairman, what an honour it is I promise to strive to do my best for the AWS

We thank Dr Jim McNamara as the outgoing Chairman for his many years of service, who shall continue to serve on the Exco

And last but not least, to all of our amazing staff, may you all continue to strive to treat and save as many animals as possible and to rehome the surrendered and unwanted animals to forever loving homes

PAWSOME News!

With the recent announcement of the arrival of the 8th billion human being, on our congested planet, coupled with global warming, and deforestation leading to the extinction or near extinction of thousands of endangered species, the present generation are placing this crisis squarely on our doorstep But in the words of Sir David Attenborough, “We still have time”

Sea pollution of our oceans remains a major problem to marine life, with over-fishing depleting essential protein resources However, the cat and dog population remain on an upward trajectory New Zealand has recently had to cancel an annual hunt for feral cats which they believe is responsible for the reduction in their bird population A prize was being offered to the child who killed the most cats Naturally, the welfare societies were able to put a stop to this hideous carnage

Here in sub-Saharan and South Africa, we have an ongoing increase in our domestic pets With the state of the world economy and a further possible recession looming, we are seeing more and more surrender of pets that the owners can no longer afford to feed

The Animal Welfare Society of South Africa

“treats them all, large and small” During the last financial year, we had almost twelve thousand consultations and one-hundred and fourteen orthopaedic procedures

CEO’S REPORT

Due to the strained financial environment existing in our economy, we were only able to achieve a thirty percent adoption rate

We have been seeing a massive increase in referrals from private practices from individuals who cannot afford their fees This naturally puts a huge strain on our financial wellbeing coupled with the rising costs of services and drugs We are available seven days a week and this year have reinstituted a continuous lunch time service by splitting the nursing teams

We are still fortunate enough to have the support of many animal orientated donors, and sound financial advice from Personal Trust

Our ongoing service could not be achieved without the dedicated staff and Executive Committee, who are always available to support our mission statement

CEO and Vice Chairman

A quote from Anatole France - “Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.”

HONORARY TREASURER’S REPORT

to the hard working and dedicated staff on achieving such a significant goal, with the costs of living and supplies ever increasing

The operational income which consists of donations for services rendered and various fundraising initiatives have rejuvenated, and we have seen a 10% increase in funding and donations, this is due to a much needed donation from the CoCT to assist with a sterilization campaign

From 2019 to date we had seen a decrease of 15% in income, highlighting the devastating effects that the pandemic had, the loss of income and the loss of disposable income by individuals in order for them to donate to the Society Despite these enormous challenges faced by the Society we remained in a reasonably stable financial position as a result of the capital fund balance, which is diversely invested and able to continue providing world class service to those animals in need

In 2022 our bequest income has remained consistent, and we thank those who leave us a legacy The breakdown of income is as follows:

• Bequests making up 42% of income

• Vet services making up 30%

• Other income and donations making up the remaining 28%

Overall expenses have seen an increase from prior years The Society has managed to institute various cost saving techniques, so we are able to continue our great work and see only an inflationary 6% increase in expenses, the costs have been strictly managed by the Society A huge note of thanks

Although the Society has remained stable during 2022, it still operates with an overall deficit, forcing us to use funds from the capital reserves We greatly appreciate donations and bequests as the Society is dependent on these funds to continue providing its first-class service

The Annual Financial Statements will be available at the AGM and on request from carmen@awscape org za

COMMUNICATIONS, RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT AND FUNDRAISING REPORT

For almost 100 years the Animal Welfare Society of South Africa has weathered many storms to be here for every animal, pet owner and animal rescuer.

The cost of living crises is no different but we’ll continue to take in animals, support struggling pet owners, share our resources and ensure that every Rand donated is used to support our life-saving work to advance the rights, welfare and health of all animals

Since our inception in 1929 your generous donations have enabled us to save and better the lives of countless animals, come to the aid of struggling pet owners, implement effective pet population management initiatives, help secure justice for abused and mistreated animals and enabled us to rescue, rehabilitate, repatriate and rehome many thousands of animals

Our decision to remain focused on pet sterilisation, humane education and outreach projects continues to yield heartening results especially amongst the youth who have embraced our message of kindness and compassion paving the way for a better tomorrow

The positive impact your donations combined with extensive favourable media coverage have enabled us to make over the past eventful year has resulted in us assuming pole position on several operational fronts and we are pleased to report that our

combined selfless contributions earned us the favour and benevolence of many new changemakers, legatees and corporate partners including the Executive Mayor of the City of Cape Town who generously awarded us R500 000 from the Mayoral Fund to invest in the upliftment of pets in the Cape Metro

Our Legacy Club continues to attract new members wanting to make provision for the animals entrusted to our care in their Wills and for this we are extremely grateful

Some of the highlights of the past year include:

• The opening of an innovative Vaccination Walkthrough Clinic on Mandela Day –aptly named the Isdell Vaccination Clinic in honour of our esteemed Patron Pamela Isdell who generously funded the project and sponsored the first 67 vaccinations

• The installation of a battery backup power supply in our hospital funded in full by a gift from the Seton family in loving memory of John Seton

• Being chosen as the beneficiary of the 2022 OUTsurance Gun Run Rebranding of our entire operational vehicle fleet

• Several rewarding outings to a number of Faircape retirement complexes as part of their pet therapy initiative

Thank you for helping us be there for the animals who need us

With tremendous gratitude

Allan Perrins Head of Communications, Resource Development and Fundraising

HOSPITAL REPORT

That is why it is our policy that any animal admitted into our hospital is microchipped

This very small and relatively inexpensive procedure is the difference of a pet being reunited with their family or ending up in the Pound where they face uncertain fates

One cannot believe that another year has passed. I first of all want to say thank you for the opportunity to be a part of such a great team led by Dr Zheneta Stoynova who on a daily basis produces one miracle after another.

I also want to extend my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to Nursing Assistant Fiona Barnard and Hospital Orderly Shakes Mdudu who left us to pursue new opportunities We wish them everything of the best for the future

During this past year our consultations have seen a major influx of Parvo Virus patients

It is sad that hundreds of puppies have to suffer the trauma of being infected with this deadly virus It is all so preventable if only the owners simply ensured that their young puppies are vaccinated from the early age of 8 weeks and then simply follow the vaccination protocol as prescribed By doing so, hundreds of lives could be saved every year

It is to this extent that we offer these vaccinations at affordable prices in order for pet owners to vaccinate their puppies and save lives

Throughout this year but especially during the school holidays and over Guy Fawkes and New Year we saw a great number of strays admitted into our care It is so very sad that many of these beautiful animals are never reunited with their families

So, I hereby implore all pet owners to ensure that their pets are microchipped Phone or visit our facility and our staff will be more than happy to assist as we know from experience how important a lifesaving tool a microchip can be

We also experienced a huge increase in the number of referrals from private practice and other constrained animal welfare hospitals This increase is primarily due to affordability Due to the dire financial state we as a country find ourselves in, we now find ourselves not only servicing the needs of the indigent but also those of hard-hit middle-income earners This influx places a huge strain on our staff and finances

I hereby appeal to all those more fortunate to help those less fortunate by volunteering their time, talent and expertise and to please help us raise sufficient funds to ensure that we remain sustainable and able to meet the ever-increasing demand for help This will ensure that we will be able to continue to help save the lives of those who need us most - “Our Beautiful Pets”

Calvin Samuels Senior Nursing Assistant

For the love of animals

A final goodbye, but their memory lives on.

Losing a pet can be an incredibly difficult and emotional experience. At Legacy Pet Crematorium, we understand the deep bond between pets and their owners. That’s why we strive to provide a service that honors the memory of your beloved pet. We believe that every animal companion is precious, and we treat them with the respect and dignity that they deserve.

When you choose Legacy Pet Crematorium, you can trust that your pet’s ashes will be handled with the utmost care. We guarantee that the ashes you receive back are indeed those of your pet. In addition, we offer a range of memorabilia options to help you remember your pet and honor their loyalty, including urns, ash infused glass keepsakes and memorial jewelry. We know that losing a pet is never easy, and we want to help make the process as comforting as possible.

So many ways to honour their loyalty

Despite challenges over the past few years including the ravages of the Covid pandemic, AWS SA has continued to provide our essential services to our less fortunate communities Our Inspectorate team has not taken a ‘back seat’ as far as dealing with, neither the ongoing reporting of animals in distress nor the reporting of animal cruelty or abuse cases

The year 2022 has been no different in that our Inspectorate team has dealt with a significant amount of cases relating to animal abuse

Over the past year from January 2022 to December 2022, we responded to 654 cases reported to our office, an average of 55 cases per month for our small Inspectorate team

The scourge of ongoing, illegal dog fighting cases just does not stop, and as a result we are called upon to rescue the severely and often fatally injured ‘loser’ dogs with the much-needed assistance of our uniformed colleagues within the City’s Animal Control / Law Enforcement Department

In addition, our Inspectorate team also attends to pre-home inspections for our Adoption’s department as well as the transporting of stray animals to the SPCA’s Animal Pound for processing

We have further embarked on sterilisation drives throughout our indigent communi-

In our quest to continue being the voice for our four-legged friends, whether it be through education, rescuing them and/or legally confiscating them should circumstances dictate, we will continue to provide our much needed essential veterinary services to the communities we serve.

ties in an effort to clamp down on unwanted litters of kittens and puppies or where owners lack the financial means to adequately care for so many animals

Although our objective is to educate before prosecution, I had no alternative but to lay formal charges in terms of the Animals Protection Act No 71 of 1962 for two significant cases of animal cruelty These cases are currently with the Senior Public Prosecutors’ office and will imminently be placed on the Court Role A third case is pending court appearance as the alleged accused faces charges of ‘assault with a deadly weapon’ on a person and secondary charges in terms of the Animals Protection Act for ‘unnecessary injuries caused’ to the owners’ pet

I am happy to report that with the blessing of our Executive Committee, we have expanded our Inspectorate department by the inclusion of two eager Trainee Inspectors with the ultimate goal of qualifying them as Animal Welfare Inspectors Their training is currently ongoing and progressing well

ANIMAL CARE CENTRE REPORT

Lisa and her team (Under The Trees Market in Constantia), Richard Morris and his team (Starke Ayres Garden Centre Rosebank), Sabine and Reece Harvey (Timour Hall Villa) and Warren Wilcox (Fab-u-Pets Grooming Parlour) for their selfless contributions

2022 has been a good year for us.

We managed to find homes for many of our adoption dogs We would like to say thank you to the adopters for opening their hearts and homes for these amazing dogs in our care

One of our highlights is that two of the dogs in our care who had been with us for over 3 years have found their loving forever homes We believe that with patience and love, everyone deserves a second chance There is always a rainbow after a storm

I would like to say thank you to our volunteers both local and international and many others who stepped in to donate and took some of their time to go out there and help find our dogs their loving forever homes These pop-up events always count in our favour whether its to get a dog adopted or even just exposure for all of us as a team

Our international volunteers have taken volunteering a step further by adopting and fundraising for the pets in our care when they back at home in their own country Two of our beautiful dogs have already taken their flights out of South Africa to their new homes in Belgium and the UK We truly appreciate their dedication and compassion!

We would like to especially thank Carolyn Dudgeon (Paws-a-While Pet Adoption Fair),

Thank you to these wonderful people, and many others, for giving us a platform to showcase our dogs and puppies

To all onboard the Animal Welfare Society of South Africa, thank you so much! All your help and support is much appreciated

I firmly believe that if we stand together as a team, we can accomplish the impossible

ANIMAL HERO ZOLA AND AMARI

The story of this pair of best friends is one of the most heartening stories we have had the pleasure to tell Zola Mceka is a Hero for saving Amari – a canine damsel in distress

He first noticed the little dog scavenging for food on a dump site in Philippi in early June and decided to befriend and save her He visited her everyday, sharing whatever food he could with her – slowly winning her love and trust until she would allow him to pick her up Their uplifting story moved a Nation and we promised that we would keep them together

On Monday, 8 August we got to fulfil our promise and gave Amari a send-off fit for a Queen – with enough food and spoils to last her a lifetime

Her arrival generated so much excitement in the neighbourhood that the referee of a street soccer match blew half-time early

Her arrival was just too much of a happy distraction and not to be missed It was as if the whole of Gugulethu had turned up to welcome her home

Zola, who had just celebrated his 38th birthday the previous Friday, could not contain his excitement and told us that we had given him the most precious gift of his life and that he would be forever grateful to everyone for their kindness and help�

PAWING IT FORWARD THE DOG BED PROJECT

In shelters, a soft bed is such a comfort to a rescued dog or puppy Enter Gabi – proud mom and aunt of a rescued dog and cats from the Animal Welfare Society of South Africa and Mdzananda Animal Clinic via Luna Cat Rescue!

Gabi noticed that good quality soft beds are always needed in the shelters and she set about making some! With off-cuts from local businesses, donations of fabric, and support from friends and service providers, she has quietly made over 100 substantial, comforting beds using an ordinary sewing machine in her lounge, and in her spare time

These quality beds are 1x1m pillows with slip-covers; no zips, no Velcro, no fuss The covers and inner shells are water and mould resistant outdoor canvas sewn with upholstery thread, and the stuffing is a mix of

textiles and manufacturing waste, shredded to a soft landing place for sheltered souls

The completed beds are shared between AWS SA and Mdzananda, and countless animals benefit We sell some at our events and they’re popular with pet-loving people like Gabi who takes her inspiration from Themba (a nutty-as-a-fruitcake and adorable pittie-cross) and Clementine and Pear (a gorgeous mama cat and kitten duo)

On World Animal Day (4 October), AWS SA and Mdzananda received a delivery of 60 beds from Gabi Here are pics from that celebration!

Many tail-wagging thanks to you, Gabi, and massive thanks to everyone whose amazing donations and support enable this big-hearted project to continue

The 5 Freedoms of Animals

The 5 Freedoms are the Gold standard that we, as animal owners and carers, must understand and apply to ensure that the welfare of animals is provided for. These standards are internationally recognised and are not just about the things that we want to do for our animals, but also the actions we must take in order to be responsible and caring pet owners.

Freedom from hunger and thirst

Freedom from discomfort

Freedom from pain, injury and disease

Freedom to express normal behaviour

Freedom from fear and distress

Thank you

A very special thank you to AWS SA’s:
