PAIN - Pets and Animals in Need

PAIN - Pets and Animals in Need PAIN is non profit organisation run by it’s members, volunteers, vet students and Vets helping animals in townships.

PAIN is a non-profit organisation and with the help of the CVC, Vets, Vets in Training & volunteers that work full time and spend a lot of their spare time in helping animals in townships. We have a monthly animal clinic in Kya Sands. We rely solely on public and corporate donations to cover the costs of our vet bills, sterilisations projects and upkeep of pets in the informal settlements. We are

Pro-life & therefore we will only ever euthanize any animal if it is in the animals best interests and there are no other options. We do not sit around and wait for animals in need to come to us. Instead we spend a lot of time in the townships LOOKING for the animals & doing research to see and establish exactly where help is needed. One of our main focus points are sterilisation of the animals with townships in order to prevent further breeding. P.A.I.N strives to empower animals in townships and poor communities. We work with the community to improve the lives of these disadvantaged animals by educating them on pet care, provide warm shelters, regular inoculations, sterilisations and vet care at our animal clinic days which takes place once a month at Kya Sands. We try to instil in the communities, a responsibility and pride for their animals by not just empowering the animals, but also by educating and helping the people uplift themselves. We believe in working hand in hand with the animals and people of these impoverished areas to create unity, trust and stability for all.

Jon Bernthal thinks people being scared of Pit Bulls is ‘dog racism’ 😳

It’s been a busy summer for Jon Bernthal as he stars in both The Odyssey and the Spiderman: Brand New Day, and he will now take some deserved time off with his wife, and their three dogs 🐾

Bernthal is the proud owner of three rescue pit bulls, Boss, Venice and Bam Bam, but he found himself in trouble with the law in 2009 after punching an inebriated man who grabbed Boss 😬

Speaking during an interview with Howard Stern, the 49-year-old had a strong response when the host asked him why the dog hadn’t bitten the man, questioning if the reputation of pit bulls being aggressive dogs was ‘a myth’.

“People have got to stop that”, the Punisher star replied.

“It’s just racism. It’s just dog racism. To be afraid of a breed of dog is completely ridiculous. It’s like being afraid of somebody for their race or their sexual orientation.

“It’s completely ridiculous,” Bernthal added. “Look, if a pit bull bites you, it’s going to suck. But they’re no more likely to bite you than a Chihuahua or another breed.”

VACCINATION POP-UP DAY 💉🐾

Dogs Trust is excited to be teaming up with syringapark to help keep the community’s pets happy, healthy and protected ! 🐶🐱❤️

Join us on Saturday, 30 May 2026 for an affordable vaccination and pet care pop-up where pet owners can access essential healthcare services for their furry family members. From vaccinations and deworming to microchipping and nail clipping, we’re making responsible pet care more accessible to the community. 🩺✨

Vaccinations play a vital role in protecting pets against serious and potentially life-threatening diseases such as parvo, distemper and rabies. Keeping your pets vaccinated not only protects them, but also helps protect other animals and the wider community. Prevention is always better than cure ! 🙌

Regular healthcare, parasite control and identification through microchipping are all important parts of responsible pet ownership and ensuring our pets live long, healthy lives. 🐾

📍 Syringa Park
Portion 61, Driefontein Farm, Driefontein Rd, Muldersdrift

📅 Saturday, 30 May 2026

We can’t wait to see you and your beloved pets there ! 🧡💚

How incredible!!! 🐶

A volunteer in Kenya builds small shelters from recycled plastic, giving stray animals a safer place to rest during rain, heat, and rough weather. Instead of letting plastic waste pollute streets and open areas, it is reshaped into useful protection.

These shelters are lightweight, durable, and easier to clean than many temporary materials. For stray dogs and cats, they offer shade, dryness, and a little comfort in places where shelter is limited.

More than animal care, this idea connects compassion with environmental action. One shelter protects a living being while removing waste from the community.
