animal-info.co.za - Community Led Animal Welfare (CLAW)

FOCUS AREA:
CLAW provides desperately needed veterinary services to dogs and cats, as well as vital animal care education to pet owners in Johannesburg's poorest township areas.

CLAW's Objectives are to:
- Go where the impoverished people of Gauteng are, and regularly find and treat animals needing primary care;
- Promote animal welfare by sterilising pets, treating preventable conditions and ensuring they have caring owners and adequate food and shelter;
- Create a team that involves all stakeholders, is multi-disciplinary, committed, well trained and regularly evaluated;
- Provide regular access to primary healthcare;
- Provide a stress-free, enriched environment during temporary housing;
- Ensure that abandoned animals are adopted by excellent homes;
- Weave CLAW's work with regional and international poverty alleviation and environmental projects to serve the community.
