  PET TIP  
TTOUCH
 I adopted my little girl Stella from the spca a month ago. She has not been exposed to much and has been quite weary of all new things. This is primarily due to her not experiencing a wide variety of things during her early learning period.
Today she came with me to my tellington touch course and we have both had the honour of working with Linda Tellington Jones herself today aswell as all the wonderful t touch practioners in training. All I can say is that today my little girl experienced so much and for the first time I feel she is happy in her own body :) This is wonderful work and I encourage you all to experience it with your dog. Contact the t touch office and see when they are holding their next workshops or call one of the many caring and loving t touch practioners we are blessed to have here in our country. You can get a list of the T touch practioners in your area through the t touch office. Please visit their website and explore this wonderful work :)

Tellington TTouch is a gentle method of bodywork and movement exercises that positively influences behavior, performance and well-being. It increases communication skills and deepens the relationship between animals and their people.  It is used in over 30 countries around the world to influence both behavioral and health problems.

Tellington TTouch was created by International Animal Expert Linda Tellington-Jonescircles, slides and lifts used to reduce stress and relax tension. It also incorporates body wraps and many leading & groundwork exercises for confidence building. You'll find more detailed info on our What is TTouch page. and includes TTouch bodywork which is a combination of

Eugénie Chopin, an American who has lived in South Africa since 1975, studied Tellington TTouch in the USA and brought it to South Africa several years ago. Hundreds of people here have experienced and found Tellington TTouch to be useful for both problems and the general well-being of their pets.

Dogs of DogtownSA

Coco - Coco is such a pretty girl, she came into DogtownSA as her owners could no longer keep her. Although she is lovely 98% of the time she sometimes becomes unsure especially if you touch her around her mouth. We are busy working with her to trust humans touching her around her mouth :) so once she is more trusting she will be able to go to a loving home. Please could you help us take care of Coco till we have finished her rehabilitation programme and she can be homed.

LOST AND FOUND

LOCATION - PRETORIA, An injured young Jack Russell male was found in Valhalla on Wednesday morning (28 July), cnr Bothma & Flora Roads. He was either bitten by another dog or hit by a car, and was taken to Valhalla Animal Clinic. The vet is Alida du Plooy, tel no (012) 654-1442. He was treated and is currently in the foster care of a Mr Cronjé who lives in Magnus Road in Valhalla. He is not chipped, but in good condition, apart from the bite marks and stitches he had to receive. He must have escaped from his home, according to the vet it is due to his hormones! We would really like to find his owner and don’t want him to end up at the SPCA. For more information kindly contact Reinette le Roux at (012) 307-4384 (w) or 0837676345, or Alida or Rita at Valhalla Animal Clinic. Click here to view more.
URGENT APPEALS

CAT VILLAGE - JHB
Firstly I would like to thank EVERYONE who has helped with the collecting of funds for these cats and also those who forwarded this plea to friends and family. The funds you so generously donated have helped enormously towards the rescue, sterilization and inoculation  4  of these cats.  Anyone wishing to see veterinary slips for these sterilizations is very welcome to contact me and I’d be happy to provide you with these.  Feral Squad has had to step in at the last minute to try and rescue these cats as their previous caregiver abandoned them as well as her responsibilities towards paying for their relocation – hence the urgency of Feral Squad’s need to raise funds for them.

3-5  of cats still remain trapped in the ceiling and we are still in urgent need of R20 000-00 to cover the rescue, sterilization and inoculation of these cats, as well as to pay for a heater, Wendy house and food and care for the rest of all of these cats’ lives at Cat Village (which is the wonderful haven that has agreed to care for these cats).   
I want to ask that any donation you are willing to give for these cats goes directly into the account of Cat Village (a registered and audited NPO) (NPO number 033-895) with the ref "Roof Cats".  Please may I ask that you forward me the deposit proof so that I’m able to track how we are progressing with the funds we need to raise?  Thank you so much.
