Our blog is back!

Blog Sunday's. 
Sunday night blog is back. We have been asked to bring back our blog. It's a great way of keeping away the Sunday night blues and re capping on the week's activities. 
In the last week we have had lots of surrenders and met some wonderful supporters and past adoptee parents who follow our page. It was wonderful to meet Anne and Vera. We had lots of new surrenders and a million more abandoned lost and found ect. Woodrock are now at capacity with every run over extended. We have asked the public and fellow rescuers to understand our predicament, we are not able to take in any more dogs. 
Adoptions are slow. But we are certain this will kick into gear. Donations came in financial and drop offs. Jennifer and her mom bev dropped off a grand donation for Sarac. I am certain that the horse saddles will change lives of the horses in Soweto. We are forever grateful. You are the piece of this puzzle that takes Woodrock to a level of excellence. Without you we could not have saved Chrystal. We continue to feed and Sterilise the animals that cross our paths. In keeping with our mission. Thanks again and again. 
On a personal note. We lost our beloved Lucy. A meldau dog. She is sorely missed. In a way that only dog lovers could know and understand. Lucy daddy misses you so much. 
A time has come that we realize we are desperate to have a full time surgery. The locals arriving with hurt and sick animals puts so much pressure on us. Just when we feel we are winning we face challenges that are beyond us. This week a poor puppy on a neighbours farm was mauled by a jackal and we had to race to sandton. Sadly the dog didn't make it. 
Dogs are dogs. Abby marched around for hours with a dead pigeon. She was delighted and proud of her handy work. 
December known as the silly season has left a carnage. Lost dogs were reunited with owners. However Woodrock still have dogs waiting for owners that need to search and find them. 
The Hennops valley have realized the value of having us on their door step. We get constant call outs. A dog was running in the game farm La Wiida. The dog is safley at Woodrock. 
Our volunteers need a high five. They kept the candle  burning for Woodrock.  Thanks guys. 
The show must go on. Our staff all got new uniform from an amazing activist Luanne who personal visited Woodrock all the way from Durban. 
Seeing dead animals on the side of the road is always devastating. The site of the dead horse that was knocked down on Main road was something that certainly shook us and our viewers. 
We bust a family breeding scheme in Pyramid. Albeit that we do not have Space we had no choice but to remove 16 dogs. We have to return to pyramid with plan b. This family are not able to take care of animals. 
Ending the week on a bitter sweet. On Saturday we had a call out. Four dogs  had been pushed out of a car in the valley. We got there just in time. We had a four dogs rounded up when sadly the smallest of the four got away. We have been to the site numerous times. However we are unable to find the dog. It doesn't make it easy. Some how failures out weigh the success. To us that was a failure. One lost is one lost. 
Wishing everyone a wonderful new week.
