EXTREME Makeovers

The only reason I can carry on with the volunteer work is for the rewards, which are, to say the least, breath-taking. I've included pictures of the two most recent rescues - Sally and Marley - to give you an idea of the work that I'm doing in conjunction with Save-a-Pet Port Elizabeth. Beware sensitive viewers!!

Marley was found in Mission Road with terrible mange. He was nervous, shy and absolutely ravenous:

THEN, Dr du Plessis showed up at Save-a-Pet. He took one look at Marley and took him home. After weeks of treatment for his mange (which he receives at Save-a-Pet, being brought there in a convertible BMW and looking very comfortable with the idea), this is what Marley (renamed Titan) looks like:


Isn't he just beautiful?!

Then Sally, also a Mission Road special, was actually quite loved by her owners', whose only fault was a total lack of education. I brought her into Save-a-Pet for treatment for her mange and injuries looking like this:

 
Poor thing. They say mange feels like your skin is on fire. Imagine the pain. After extensive treatment and loads of TLC, this is Sally today:


She has been returned to her very grateful owners, who are now better equipped to care for her.

Have a great weekend, we're in for a wet one in Port Elizabeth!
