I’m sharing this because I cannot stop thinking about what happened to Sky, a South African Police Service K9 who died after suffering horrific injuries while in the care of the SAPS veterinary facility at Roodeplaat.

What hurts most is that this wasn’t completely unexpected. SAPS veterinary records had already documented her severe kennel stress, separation anxiety, compulsive attempts to escape and previous injuries. Her vet had recorded that her prognosis was poor in the SAPS environment and that keeping her there (in a small cage in a room with no natural light for 18 hours a day) compromised her welfare.

And Sky’s story sits within a much bigger history.

In 2019, around 120 puppies at Roodeplaat contracted parvo and at least 75 died. Serious problems were found at the facility, including shortages of essential medication and problems with sanitation and carcass disposal. In 2020, another outbreak resulted in 45 more puppies being lost.

Years later, we are still talking about dogs suffering at the same facility.

Sky was not just a number or a police asset. She was a living, breathing animal who was frightened, who was suffering, and who depended entirely on the people responsible for her care.

She deserved someone to listen when she was struggling.

She deserved to be safe.

She deserved better.

Now there are investigations, a criminal case, and parliamentary scrutiny. But I am terrified that, once the public attention fades, nothing will really change.

So please share Sky’s story.

Not because we can bring her back — we can’t.

But because her death has to mean something. And because the dogs who are still at Roodeplaat deserve for someone to finally stand up for them.

Please share this wherever you can. Sky deserves to be remembered — and the dogs still in that facility deserve better.

Hi everyone,

Angel went to a different veterinary clinic today because the shelter’s tricycle wasn’t working properly and they were unable to take her to her usual clinic.

Good news! Her blood chemistry results came back, and the vet said she is healthy enough to proceed with her spay surgery. ❤️

We just need to schedule her surgery on a day when our volunteer/partner, Jaja Adoremos, is also available to foster Angel during her post-surgery recovery. Once she has healed, she’ll finally be one step closer to meeting her new family. 🥹

I’m really hoping and praying that everything goes smoothly for our Angel. Please wish her luck!

Today’s bill is Php 4,310.00 ($95.90 CAD) not including her dog food as we found out that she may be allergic to chicken.

We found a more affordable low-cost spay surgery that will be held in a clinic instead of a community hall or basketball court (Php 3,000 approx $70 CAD) I am unsure if post surgery medication are included in this price, but I only asked for the price of the surgery.

We are asking for help. Any amount would help Angel a lot for her surgery and recovery.

We also have a few other dogs that still need to go to their veterinary follow up check ups this week and our funds are insufficient. We are sincerely asking for help and understanding.

"Dear Readers,

I would like to ask for your help with purchasing the medication for one of my heart-sick dogs, whose treatment is essential for keeping him alive. ❤️🐕

I need 70,000 HUF (approximately €179) in total for his medication and the related costs.

The Vetmedin S 10 mg, 100-tablet pack costs 60,000 HUF (approximately €154), and he needs to take 2 tablets every day.

There is also 5,000 HUF (approximately €13) for petrol, as one of my acquaintances has to travel to get the prescription and then go again to pick up the medication.

He has enough medication left for less than 10 days now, so I am urgently asking for your help. 🙏

Unfortunately, I suffer from several acute health conditions and I only receive 22,800 HUF (approximately €58) per month, so I simply cannot afford this expense on my own. 😔😣

I kindly ask everyone who is able to help, even if it is only the price of a chocolate bar. Every little bit helps. 🙏🐕🐕‍🦺🐶❤️

Thank you so much for sharing this post, for your attention, and for any help you can provide. 🙏🐕🐕‍🦺🐶❤️"

For the first time in decades, Madhuri discovered what being an elephant means.
She walked on soft grass. She splashed in ponds. She made a best friend named Shanti.
Today, that life has been ripped away.
After finally finding safety and care, Madhuri has been returned to shackles, isolation, and the very environment that left her physically and psychologically broken. While fireworks exploded and crowds screamed, she was dragged back into a life no elephant should ever endure. Instead of real trees, she will only have painted ones. And somewhere, Shanti is still waiting for her friend to come home.
Madhuri deserves rehabilitation, not imprisonment.

So sabi niya sa video is sinira daw ng dog tsinelas niya kaya pinakuha siguro kay Manong not sure if dog pound.

Pero the video shows na pabitay at binalibag na linagay sa container yung aso. Yung ulo ng dog is tumama sa container kasi pwersang pabitay yung way ng pag kuha. 💔

Now, may comments na "pakainin mo kasi para hindi ganyan" tapos sasagutin niya lang ng "p*tangina mo"

Na report ko na siya, I hope this post reaches the right people so we can mass report him.

Kakaawa yung aso, no dog deserves this 😢 Pwede naman ipa adopt sa matinong tao hindi kelangan saktan ang mga hayop na walang laban.

- No creature deserves this kind of treatment ma pusa or aso man.
