SUPPORT a local animal shelter this October and help save a life – one decorated dog kennel at a time.

It is as easy as one . . . two . . . three: donate, decorate and deliver.

The Global Leadership Academy (GLA) in Jeffreys Bay, in conjunction with Fountains Mall and Dogsense, em(bark)ed on a much-needed fundraising project for local animal organisations in a bid to give ‘homeless’ dogs a warm kennel.

They appeal to all residents and businesses to sponsor a dog kennel at R1 500 per kennel.

“Bring your friends or employees to decorate and brand yur kennel during a fun event at Fountains Mall at 10:00 on Saturday, October 3,” says event organiser Lizette Kemp.

“For each decorated kennel, a waterproof dog cushion, bowls and a bag of Dogsense dog food will be sponsored to the benefit of the charities – JBay Animal Rescue Sanctuary, Humansdorp SPCA and St Francis Animal Rescue – represented.”

Various prizes will be up for grabs.

Adding to the fun, is a dog show.

Pure-bred or just pure love – your dog could be what the judges are looking for at the first GLA Dog show.

Proud pet owners can show off their dogs in various categories: loveliest large breed, sexyest small breed, best dressed dog and most mixed breed.

Buffed and puffed, dogs will hit the catwalk at Fountains Mall at 10:40 on Saturday, October 5. The entry fee is R30 per dog.

There will be various stalls on the day.

All funds raised will go towards the JBay Animal Rescue Sanctuary, Humansdorp SPCA and St Francis Animal Rescue.

For more information or to enter the dog show, contact Lizette Kemp at 082 323 4491. Alternatively, send an email to kemplizette@yahoo.com.
