Did you know that an unsterilised female dog, her mate, and their unsterilised offspring can produce 67 000 dogs altogether in six years? Sterilisation is the only way we can prevent unwanted litters from being born. Let\u2019s take hands and stop the breeding. Together we can all make a difference!<\/p>\n<p>The cost to sponsor one animal\u2019s sterilization is R250. <\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, if you are able to assist us in any other way by either donating or sponsoring deworming medication, tick and flea treatment, dry pet food or any other veterinary or pet supplies, please let us know. <\/p>\n<p>Or, if you are able to sponsor vouchers or prizes that we can raffle or auction to raise funds. Or, if you could perhaps provide food and drinks for our vets and volunteers we would also be grateful.<\/p>\n<p>Donations of pet food and blankets can be ordered in person or via online platforms and delivered to Cornerstone Vet, 29 Truter Street, Robertson. <\/p>\n<p>Each pet that is sterilised is sent home with a blanket and a bag of food. <\/p>\n<p>As a registered non-profit (NPO 000 234) John Moore is able to issue individuals or companies with a Section 18 receipt.
