Founder's 70th Birthday
Wednesday, 21 April 2010 15:19
April 13th 2010 was a very special day for our Founder and Life President, Mavis Smith, as she celebrated her 70th birthday on this day. Mavis invited everybody in Port Elizabeth to her birthday party, providing they brought along a donation to Save-a-Pet. Well a lot of people turned up at her party, held at The Elephant Walk Restaurant, Colleen Glen and the princely sum of R12 010.00 was donated to Save-a-Pet along with a large amount of dog food and some lovely blankets.
Tea, coffee and cakes were the order of the day and a good time was had by all, especially by Mavis, who met up with some old friends she hadn't seen for years. Well known local musician and singer, Ken J Larkin, was there to liven up the party with his own brand of comedy and sing-a-long music, much to the delight of a receptive audience.
Mavis wishes to thank everyone who attended the party along with the people who donated but were unable to attend on the day. "We'll do this again on my 80th" was her parting shot.

Humane Dog Shelter
Award
This is the home of most of the orphaned doggies in the Port Elizabeth area...
Save-a-Pet is an animal rescue centre situated near Greenbushes, Port Elizabeth that rescues, rehabilitates, reunites and re-homes abandoned abused, lost and stray animals.
We are a non-profit making organisation run entirely by volunteers. A “no-kill” shelter that believes that no healthy dog should ever be destroyed and that all animals should be protected, wanted, suitably homed for life and cared for by responsible owners. We are currently caring for more than 200 dogs.
We are developing our hall into an education centre and we already have schools visiting us on a regular basis. We also had an informal clinic helping the poorer citizens in our area to inoculate and assist in the sterilsation of their pets.
Our main aim is to have our own hospital “up and running” with a qualified veterinarian on hand to assist in the health of the animals and thereby improving the health of the poor themselves.
Healthy animals mean healthy people

Cats and Dogs in Shack Horror
Following hot on the heels of the Good Story about the Huskies and Wolves, comes this Horror Story of Cats and Dogs.
On the evening of Friday 11th April 2008, Save-a-Pet staff were called to a property on the Sea View Road P.E. A kilometre away from the dwellings they approached a shack, the stench of which could be sniffed some distance away. There were 2 darkened windows and no doors in this shed. The police were called and broke a window. What was discovered inside would make your hair stand on end.
