The Germiston SPCA staff and committee members had a most enjoyable day assisting and interacting with Katlehong community members on November 5.<\/p>\n

The organisation conducted an outreach project in the area.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Pam West, a committee member told the GCN that the low turnout from the community was a bit disappointing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were expecting a huge crowd of people,\u201d she said.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cNevertheless we attended to all on a more one-on-one basis giving lots of animal welfare advice and education at the same time.<\/p>\n

\u201cCommunity members young and old appreciated our attendance and we were well received.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a happy outreach day.\u201d<\/p>\n

The SPCA staff treated some animals on the spot and did plenty of dipping and tick removal.<\/p>\n

They also removed a large number of dangerous collars and leashes and replaced them with new ones.<\/p>\n

A number of unwanted dogs were collected and lots of animals were taken for sterilisation.<\/p>\n
