PIEL's FARM - KLIPRIVIER, SOUTH OF JOHANNESBURG

On 23 May 2010, we carried out a vaccination and deworming programme at Piel's Farm.  We have previously vaccinated and sterilised at this small community, but that was some time previously just before our patron vet, Dr. Andy Swan passed away.  The community remembered us well, and we were delighted to see that several of the animals that we sterilised were still around and thriving!  They were also glad that we had decided to 'return' and carry out our good work in their community.  We noticed that overall, the condition of the dogs and cats were pretty good, with just a few requiring a bit of extra help in the way of food and deworming which will go a long way to improving their condition.  There were quite a few puppies, although they all looked well as opposed to some townships where we have worked.  We will continue to vaccinate and deworm these puppies, and hopefully persuade the residents to have all of them sterilised.  We will begin with sterilising the animals again, using local veterinarian, Dr. Hennie in Meyerton who generously assists us with our efforts.

We really want to improve this mom's life by sterilising her

These dogs look pretty good

This little dog was not going to be let out of his owner's sight!

I just love this picture!
