From what I could see, there was nowhere dry for the dog to flee to. My feet were freezing in my boots just from standing in the water in front of the gate for a short while. Imagine how this dog was feeling, he was partially submerged with the water reaching his underbelly,\u201d Arendolf says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-animals-displaced\">Animals displaced<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The SPCA says their wildlife department has been responding to numerous calls about animals displaced by the rising water levels in most areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wildlife department supervisor Jon Friedman says they have responded to baby birds blown from their nests by the gale-force winds, exhausted Cape fur seals washed ashore by surging sea swells, porcupines flooded out of their stormwater drain homes, and a young male <em>grysbok <\/em>that found himself in deep water and needed our help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMost species of buck are good swimmers, but sometimes even they can get into trouble while navigating flooded fields,\u201d Friedman says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SPCA says they have also received a phone call from a farmer in Macassar who had seen a <span>grysbok<\/span> stuck in deep mud and also possibly injured. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe wasted no time in getting our wellies on and going out to the farm where we saw the small buck\u2019s predicament \u2013 cold, wet and bogged down in clay-rich soil and with a leg injury sustained trying to get through a wire fence as he fled the rising waters, he was going to need some emergency care,\u201d the SPCA says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_d136f3f0\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/8064\/a6e0ea9f5340469885a8e35b1c4a01af.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/e57852ada2eb4fef921eac8d95d2b1c7.jpg\" title=\"Inspector Theo Arendolf rescued this dog that was standing belly deep in freezing water with nowhere dry to escape to.PHOTO: SPCA\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Inspector Theo Arendolf rescued this dog that was standing belly deep in freezing water with nowhere dry to escape to.PHOTO: SPCA<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the farmer\u2019s tractor to get to him, they carefully contained the panicked animal and rushed him to their animal hospital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur caring veterinarians cleaned the leg wound and ordered a few days of warm bed rest and a few good meals. After three days of care at our wildlife short-term care facility, it was deemed safe to return him to his wild range where the waters had thankfully receded. The farmer was relieved to see his <span>grysbok<\/span> coming home as he considers it a rare privilege to have wildlife of this sort free-roaming on his farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The farmer and his family have vowed to keep an eye on this bok and his family, maybe suggesting swimming lessons before the season is over,\u2019\u2019 the SPCA says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SPCA also came across pigs in peril recently. When Inspector Lwazi Ntungele heard of some pigs in trouble, he also didn\u2019t hesitate to get his wellingtons on and race to the rescue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo animal should suffer,\u201d says Ntungele. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPigs also deserve to be clean, dry and warm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA lot of people think pigs should live in mud but it\u2019s a misconception that could make them very sick.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SPCA says all these animals are now safe and warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more grateful to the community who serve as our eyes and our ears and take the time to report animals in distress. Thank you for not looking the other way!
