48 people arrived at Wet Nose with hearts ready to give!

There’s something special about watching 48 people arrive at a shelter with one goal in mind - to make life a little brighter for animals who need it most.

This past weekend, an incredible group from TRANCEMISSION spent the day with us, and what a difference they made. Not only did they bring along an amazing donation of nearly 400kg of food and 200 blankets, but they also walked each and every one of our animals.

The food and blankets they donated will go a long way in helping us care for the hundreds of animals who call Wet Nose home, but the kindness they showed our dogs and cats is something that can't be measured in numbers.

To every single member of TRANCEMISSION who joined us, thank you. Your support means more than you know, and our animals felt every bit of it.

She used her birthday to make sure hundreds of shelter animals felt loved.

When Ward Councillor Lida Erasmus celebrated her birthday, she chose to make it about something bigger than herself.

Thanks to her generosity and the support of those around her, she collected an incredible donation of 101 blankets, approximately 100kg of food, and other much-needed supplies for the dogs and cats in our care.

The blankets and beds will provide warmth and comfort during the cold winter months. The food will help keep hungry tummies full.

Lida, thank you for your kindness, your compassion, and for choosing to celebrate your special day by giving back. Thank you to every person who contributed towards this wonderful collection.

Gesiggie and Beertjie have already had to say goodbye to two homes…

Two years ago, they lost the owner they loved when the owner sadly passed away. Their world was turned upside down, and they found themselves needing a second chance. Thankfully, that second chance came. Shortly after coming in, they were adopted together and finally got to leave shelter life behind. They became part of a family once again.

Now they are back as their family is immigrating and, unfortunately, they aren't able to take Gesiggie and Beertjie with them.

Gesiggie is the 8-year-old fluffy Dachshund x Pekingese, and Beertjie is the 9-year-old Dachshund x.

They've been through every heartbreak together. When they lost their first owner, they had each other. When they left the shelter and started a new chapter, they had each other. Now, as they try to understand why they've lost another home, they still have each other.

They are a bonded pair in every sense of the word. Their comfort comes from knowing the other one is nearby. They are both sweet, loving little dogs who deserve far more stability than life has given them.

If you can open your heart and home to Gesiggie and Beertjie, please contact us on 082 677 8086. If you can't adopt them, please share their story. Somewhere out there is the person who can give these two best friends the forever home they've been searching for all along.

They packed their belongings and left her behind…

When we received the call about a dog and her puppies being abandoned at a property in Rietfontein, we expected to find scared, shut-down animals who had lost all trust in people. Instead, we found Romi. A 2-year-old Labrador X mom with three healthy puppies by her side and a tail that just would not stop wagging.

The people who had lived there had moved away and simply left them behind. Yet somehow, Romi still greeted us with happiness.

Her puppies were around 8 weeks old when they arrived. Thankfully, they were healthy and thriving. We got them vaccinated, cared for them, and each of them found loving homes of their own.

While her babies packed their bags and left for new adventures, Romi stayed behind. Day after day, she watches people come and go. Through it all, she keeps that same hopeful smile on her face.

She is wonderful with other dogs, absolutely adores human attention, and has one of those personalities that makes you feel welcome the second you meet her. All she really wants is what every dog deserves - a home where she will never have to wonder if she's being left behind again.

If you think Romi could be the missing piece of your family, please contact us on 082 677 8086. If you can't adopt, please share her story. Her puppies got their second chance. Now it's Romi's turn.

She lost her person at 10 years old…

For 10 years, this Dachshund X named Twiggie had a home. She had all the little comforts that come with being part of a family. Then, through no fault of her own, everything changed. Her owner had to move into an old-age home and couldn't take her along.

Now Twiggie finds herself here with us. She is really confused and anxious as to why everything has suddenly changed.

Even though we've moved her into the clinic where she has more space and more attention, she still struggles to settle. She spends much of her day panting and walking back and forth, as if she's searching for the person she's spent the last decade loving.

Despite the change, she still wants every bit of affection she can get. She will also happily, and obviously, accept any treats that come her way.

She's good with other dogs, has shown no reaction to our cats, so she would fit beautifully into almost any family willing to open their heart to an older dog.

What Twiggie needs is a place where she can finally stop pacing, stop searching, and simply know that she belongs again.

If you would like to give Twiggie the second chance she so desperately needs, please contact us on 082 677 8086. If you can't adopt, please share her story. Somewhere out there may be the family who can give this little old lady her happy ending.

He was abandoned in a box on the side of a road…

On her way to drop her kids off at school, a lady noticed the box lying next to the road. At first, she kept driving. Something about it didn’t sit right with her. After dropping the kids off, she turned around and went back to check. Inside that box was Bubblegum.

When Bubblegum arrived in our care, we quickly discovered that he had already been sterilised, which means he once belonged to someone. Someone cared for him but still decided to abandon him in a box.

Bubblegum is not the type of cat who immediately throws himself at strangers. New people make him nervous, and he takes a little time to feel safe. Once he trusts you, he forms a deep bond, the kind that feels incredibly special.

Bubblegum just asks someone willing to let him love at his own pace. He has already experienced being left behind once. We would love nothing more than for the next chapter of his life to finally be the one where he gets to stay.

If you would like to give Bubblegum a loving forever home, please contact us on 082 677 8086. If you can’t adopt, please share his story. The right person might only be one share away.

After one year in a home, Gaia is back in a kennel…

For a year, Gaia lived peacefully with her family. She got along with the bigger dogs on the property, shared her space without issues, and simply became part of daily life. Then one day, everything changed after an incident involving a Boston Terrier on the property. Just like that, at 6 years old, Gaia lost her home.

What makes this even harder is that Gaia doesn’t act like a “problem dog”. In fact, she’s been the complete opposite since arriving in our care.

She walks up to people with these soft eyes, almost like she’s asking for permission to love you. The second you sit down, she’s right there, asking you for cuddles and affection. She absolutely adores treats, and the moment she realises you have one in your hand, she suddenly becomes the most focused student in the world.

Since being with us, Gaia has done wonderfully with the other dogs in our care. She has also gotten along beautifully with our cats, and she’s been incredibly sweet with children, too. She has such a calm, loving nature about her that it’s hard not to fall for her within minutes of meeting her.

If you think Gaia could be the missing piece in your family, please contact us on 082 677 8086. If you can’t adopt her, please share her story. Sometimes all it takes is one share for the right person to see her.
