You can make a difference!

Animal Education & Care

Pet Animal Lifeline (P.A.L) is a Non – Profit Organization, based on the WildCoast, in the Transkei Region of South Africa. Here, we have a driving need to provide a lifeline for rural and peri-urban pets, many of whom live in unbearable conditions.

With high levels of poverty, pets- mostly dogs are largely abandoned to fend for themselves. Devastating, inhumane treatment is common. With your support we can provide a lifeline for these innocent animals. Please take a moment and see below a few options to Take Action – You Can Make a Difference!

About

Pet Animal Lifeline

Pet Animal Lifeline

ABOUT

Pet Animal Lifeline was an idea I had in April 2021 while staying at Quora Mouth in the Transkei, at the end of my over-landing adventure through Southern Africa with my trusted Toyota FJย  Cruiser and 4×4 trailer. I travelled 130 000kms through 10 countries in Southern Africa, I found the Transkei still to be the worst as far as dogs are concerned, many dead dogs on the road & all the dogs you come across, are starving with their noses to the ground looking for food. So instead of complaining about it, I decided to try and make a difference in their lives by startingย P.A.Lย 

Transkei - Pet Animal Lifeline

The Transkei

WHERE WE WORK

We are based on The Wild Coast in the Transkei, Eastern Cape. A truly stunning part of South Africa, but with such intense human poverty in the Transkei many pets are left to fend for themselves.

We seek to improve these dogs/cats’ lives with basic interventions; to role-model care; and toย  educate on basic needs of pets i.e. supplying a bed with shelter, always having water available and to feed their pets!

Pet Animal Lifeline Volunteers

The Team

WHAT WE DO

This non – profit organisation was started so we can respond to the driving need to provide a lifeline to the many neglected dogs & cats in these rural areas. Static clinics and Outreach programmes offer rabies vaccinations, deworming, tick and flea treatments plus treatments for many other ailments. In doing this we make dogs/cats healthier and more virile, which will give us an overpopulation problem. At the moment we do not have an overpopulation issue, we have an over breeding issue. 90% of all puppies die in their first year, as per studies by Onderstepoort University.

Playing with pups

Oscar Willemsen

Oscarย arrived in the Transkei with one pupโ€ฆ Nuni, which he rescued in Swazilandย but now, he has a pack of 8, made up of rescues, foster dogs, dogs that found him and also wonโ€™t leave him and who can blame them, knowing that their lives had previously been traumatic and they have now found a haven of love

Oscarย has always had a deep love and connection to dogs and through COVID and another trip to the Transkei, Pet Animal Lifeline was born. For him it is a passion and it has also given him a purpose and fulfillment by being able to help pet animals in need.

So sad ๐Ÿ˜” This poor dog from Hole in the Wall has a shocking injury. We brought him home to clean and bandage the wound. Next day straight to the vet in Umtahta. 36 stitches, pain meds & antibiotics.
He's healing slowly but loving all the attention and 2 meals aday.
Such a beautiful dog, so trusting. He will now make a full recovery๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’ž
Without donations this would not of been possible. Unfortunately we don't always have the funding to deal with these types of critical situations ๐Ÿ˜ž
