TEARS
TEARS is an NGO that exists to lessen the suffering of abandoned, injured and abused dogs and cats by rescuing them, providing for their well being and placing them into loving homes; reduce the numbers of unwanted animals by providing free sterilisations in disadvantaged communities; provide humane education to the people to create an awareness of the moral and ethical responsibility we have towards the animals whose world we share.
They strive to meet the needs of our underprivileged communities, namely Masiphumelele, Redhill Informal Settlement, Ocean View and Mountain View Township by: providing primary health care such as vaccinations, deworming and internal parasite control; offering free sterilisations for the domestic animals; providing a scheduled, daily Mobile Clinic offering basic health care and food to the domestic animals; establishing an essential working relationship to protect the rights of the domestic animals and empowering and supporting through effective education, guidance and follow-up.The desperate need of the animals in the abovementioned areas has resulted in TEARS growing at a rate never anticipated.
In July 2005 we established a registered clinic on our premises, complete with our own veterinarin, where we treat animals from disadvantaged communities for any illness, injury or condition.
