🐾 Olievenhoutbosch, Wednesday 11 June🐾

Today, once again, we managed to feed the dogs and cats we have committed to supporting. We do it diligently, faithfully, and with love. But if we are honest, some days are incredibly difficult.

It is heartbreaking to witness not only the suffering of animals, but also the hardship reflected in so many human faces. Every week we are reminded of how much more help is needed and how much more we wish we could do.

Our outreach programme is currently about 75% self-funded. We try our best with fundraising initiatives and raffles offering wonderful prizes, but the reality is that many families are facing financial pressures of their own, and understandably donations are becoming harder to come by.

Yet we cannot stop.

We continue to appeal for donations of dog and cat food, blankets, kennels, jerseys, dip, dewormers, and tick & flea treatments. Every single donation, no matter how small, helps lighten the burden of saving lives.

Between Annette, Isabel, Derrick, and all our incredible supporters who stand with us, we will not back down. Every Wednesday we will show up, because this community relies on us.

We see cruelty. We see abuse. We see neglect. We see malnutrition. The list goes on. But we also see resilience, hope, and animals desperately waiting for a second chance.

Today we called on the Centurion SPCA to intervene in a serious case. Thank you to Inspector Andrew and the SPCA team for responding. We still have one deeply concerning case that remains unresolved, and we are holding our breath, hoping that the right action will be taken.

To everyone who supports our outreach, donates, shares our posts, or simply believes in what we do — thank you. You are the reason we keep going when the road becomes difficult.

Please help us continue this vital work. Together, we can make a difference, one animal, one family, and one Wednesday at a time. ❤️🐾

🖤🐾 ROCKY – FROM SURVIVOR TO SOUL-STEALER (IN THE BEST WAY) 🐾🖤

Some stories don’t just tug at your heart… they grab it, shake it, and refuse to let go.
Rocky is one of those stories.

Once a victim of a dog fighting ring and used as a bait dog, Rocky was found in Pretoria West on a rubbish dump surrounded by the remains of other souls who didn’t make it.

Left for dead… until he wasn’t. Because he moved. And in that tiny flicker of life, a chain of heroes stepped in.
From Angelique Goncalves(Hope for Paws) and Anita Landman (Animal Justice League), to Marco Viljoen (1 Dog Challenge) who made sure Rocky didn’t just survive—but was saved properly and placed into safe hands… Rocky’s journey has been nothing short of a miracle powered by many hands and big hearts.

When Rocky arrived at Pawsitive Animal Shelter mid-2025, we honestly didn’t know what his future would look like. One eye gone, scars etched into him like permanent memories of cruelty… and yet somehow, no bitterness. Just quiet resilience.

And then… yesterday happened.
The Bishop family walked in.

And like Rocky always does… he worked his magic.

Because who wouldn’t fall in love with him?

A gentle survivor. A walking lesson in forgiveness. A dog who should have given up—but chose not to.

Now Rocky is on “pre-permanent” adoption in Wapadrand, Pretoria East. And we are holding our breath (and maybe our coffee mugs a little tighter than usual), hoping this is his forever chapter.

To the Bishop family—thank you. You didn’t just see a damaged dog. You saw a warrior who deserves peace.

🛑 And now for the important part…

PLEASE… no “returnsies.”🤞❣️🤣

He is a once-in-a-lifetime dog with a lifetime worth of “how is he even still this sweet??” energy.

We’re not saying he’ll judge you…
…but he has survived a dog fighting ring, so honestly, your WiFi password mistakes won’t scare him.

Rocky deserves stability. Soft beds. Gentle hands. And a home that says, “you’re ours now” and means it forever.

So please, world—send him love, send him prayers, and if you’re the Bishop family reading this…

No pressure… but also… we’re all emotionally invested now 😅🐾

Well done, Rocky.

From rubble to royalty. From forgotten to family-in-progress.

You are our superstar. 🖤🐾

Heartfelt Thank You to Fiona! ❤️🐾

We are beyond grateful to Fiona for her incredible donation to Pawsitive Animal Shelter!

Your generosity included:
🐶 3 dog kennels
🐶 4 large dog baskets, 2 medium baskets, and 2 small baskets
🐱 2 cat carriers
🛏️ Soft, snuggly beds
🧸 Toys for our furry friends

As the cold weather sets in, these donations could not have come at a better time. Your kindness will help provide warmth, comfort, and shelter to animals in our care, as well as those we assist through our outreach programmes.

Every kennel, basket, bed, and toy will make a real difference in the lives of vulnerable animals who depend on us.

Thanks to compassionate supporters like you, we can continue giving them the care, comfort, and dignity they deserve.

From all of us at Pawsitive Animal Shelter, and from every wagging tail and grateful purr, thank you, Fiona, for making such a meaningful difference. ❤️🐾

🌟 A Showcase of Generosity & Compassion 🌟

Just a glimpse of part of the incredible donation received from eXmile Highveld, Centurion, a leading Managed IT Solutions company.

This is only a portion of their support. Week after week, our shelter is stocked with much-needed food, treats, blankets, and other essential goodies, thanks to the generosity of the amazing team at eXmile.

Many of these donations will once again be making their way to animals and families in need during our outreach program tomorrow.

Your kindness not only helps us care for the animals at our shelter but also allows us to extend a helping hand to communities where pets desperately need support.

A heartfelt thank you to Bianca, Hazel, Henk, management, and the entire eXmile team. Your continued commitment, compassion, and generosity make an enormous difference in the lives of so many animals.

We salute you and are truly grateful for your unwavering support. ❤️🐾
