I have rescued many strays and lost dogs in my life. It is now par for the course to have a dog blanket, collar and lead , with a few treats, always handy in my car, just in case!
On the 17th February this year, I was driving in rush hour morning traffic on the highway past the airport, when I noticed a small figure hobbling along the side of the highway, so sick he could hardly keep on his feet. With the help of a wonderful man named Manie, a gentleman who stopped to see if I was “safe”, and two of the township men, it took us almost 90 minutes to exhaust the poor little boy into giving up and allowing us to catch him.
Whilst driving to my vet, Dr Duncan Siegfried (Hillside Vets in Wynberg), holding this little mange-ridden boy, I decided I had to make a difference!
This is Miles, the little boy who made Dancers LOVE Dogs become a reality.

Ronel Schwemmer Basson from PETS immediately came to the rescue and took Miles into her home - to treat his mange and start looking for a new home for him.
This is Miles on my visit to Ronel two weeks later...

Miles was adopted by Esmarie Van Huyssteen in Pretoria and is now living a wonderful, happy life with his new family. He is so loved.
This is Miles today...

This is why I care!
June Bradbury (Cat Trapping & Sterilization Network) has been an enormous help to me and all our feral cats at the Dance Studio. June regularly visits us to collect any new additions and has them sterilized and cared for and then brings them back to unite with their cat family. I am enormously grateful to June.
I would like to pay tribute to all the wonderful people working tirelessly in the animal associations, shelters and rescue organizations for the amazing work they do, every day. I am in awe of their dedication.
Love, Brigitte xxx
