The Kloof & Highway SPCA is proud to support our incredible Operations Manager, Sarah Van Heerden, as she takes on the Ride Across South Africa, a grueling, unsupported 2000km cycle race from Richmond in KwaZulu‑Natal to Wellington in the Western Cape. This is one of the toughest endurance challenges in the country… and Sarah is doing it for the dogs who are too often ignored – the brown dogs!
This festive season, give the gift of warmth, comfort, and hope to animals in need.
Let us make this Christmas magical for the animals that need us most! Sponsor a kennel at the Kloof and Highway SPCA. Your contribution will help provide a safe haven for animals who are lost, stray, sick, or under investigation — giving them the love and care they deserve while they wait for their forever homes.
💝 Two Ways to Give:
Each sponsorship helps cover: ✨ Safe shelter for vulnerable animals
🍽️ Nutritious meals
🛏️ Soft beds and cosy blankets
🌡️ Heating lamps in every dog and cat kennel
🔥 Underfloor heating in our puppy kennels
🎾 Toys and scratch posts for enrichment
🧼 Cleaning products and parasite control
💊 Medication and veterinary care
👩⚕️ Dedicated staff for cleaning, feeding, and walking
And here’s the best part — you can sponsor a kennel as a gift for someone special.
They’ll receive a personalised bauble for our Christmas Tree and a thank-you letter that reads:
“Hello [Recipient’s Name], As a gift to you, [Your Name] has sponsored a kennel at the Kloof & Highway SPCA in your honour. This sponsorship carries the spirit of Christmas for anyone with a heart for animals.”
🎁 A Thoughtful Gift That Makes a Difference
By sponsoring just one kennel, you’re helping many animals — because each kennel is used by multiple pets during their stay. Your support ensures they live enriched, happy lives while in our care.
Your typical brown dog, your Africanus and your mongrel are the forgotten dogs! These are the one’s that need our help more than ever. Please give them a chance to be seen and noticed, make sure we can sterilise and treat and give them the opportunity to go up for adoption and lead the lives they deserve.
Every Comrades runner matters, just as every animal in our community matters.
“I am a below average, untalented jogger, I am just another runner, but if my finish counts for anything let it be a finish making a difference to Just Another Brown Dog. Our target is R30 000 translating to 60 sterilisations. Please donate to this initiative and make our run count.” – Sarah Van Heerden
