Our Vision

To be the trusted provider of animal welfare services in Witzenberg.

Our Mission

To build a respected organisation that can raise funds to rescue, treat and shelter animals in need; to operate an adoption service so that rescued animals can have a second chance; and to drive prevention campaigns by educating the community and offering sterilisation services that reduce the number of animals in need.

We are a small animal welfare organization made up of a few volunteers.

We currently have a limited shelter facility for dogs in Wolseley and cats in Tulbagh.

Our committee is all volunteers who have full-time jobs, own businesses etc and their involvement with Chain Boland is over and above their other commitments.

We work closely with the Witzenberg Municipality and the three Veterinary Practices in our area to address the overpopulation of dogs and cats in our region, through sterilization, vaccination, education, clinics etc. In the unfortunate cases of severe illness or injury, we have to deal with humane euthanasia. This decision is always made with a heavy heart with the purpose of ending the suffering of an animal.

Our other goal is to expand into Ceres.

Who are we :

Jeremy Mackintosh (Chairperson), Averil Slater (Admin & Finance), Vanessa Neary (Fundraising & Shop), Lawrie Irvine (Committee Member), Hazel Havenga (Fieldworker & Adoptions), Debbie Pretorius (Shelter Mom), and Phoebe du Preez (Media)
