Our mission is to provide a better life for animals in need by ensuring they have a safe, healthy and loving home. We strive to support and empower pet owners, educate the community on responsible pet ownership and provide high-quality care and shelter to animals in need. Our ultimate goal is to create a world where every animal has a loving family that cherishes and treats them with the care and respect they deserve
OUR GOALS:
Our goals are:
To continue sterilising as many animals as possible to curb the birth of thousands of unwanted litters and minimizes roaming/fighting among street dogs.
To continue to educate township pet owners so that animals living in these conditions are treated with more love, care and dignity. Children are natural observers. When a parent or guardian prioritises the health and well-being of a family pet, they are delivering a silent but profound lesson in stewardship.
To continue to integrate educationalworkshops into schools. Teaching animal welfare fosters "pro-social" behavior. Children who practice kindness toward animals are statistically more likely to show empathy toward their peers, reducing instances of bullying and cultivating a more inclusive, patient society.
To continue intervening medically to address diseases and illnesses. One Health: increasing knowledge of the importance of vaccinations (like Rabies and Parvo) protects the pet and prevents zoonotic diseases from spreading to humans.
Supporting LEAPS through donations, volunteering or attending events is a meaningful way to contribute to the organisation's important work and help make a positive impact on the lives of the animals we are dedicated to help. Donations are 100% tax deductible in South Africa
DONATIONS
As an organization, we rely solely on the generosity of our supporters to carry out our mission. We do not receive any financial support from the South African government, either at the local or central level. Therefore, every single donation we receive, regardless of its size, is crucial to our ability to make a positive impact in the communities we serve.
Whether it's a one-time donation or a recurring contribution, each gift helps us to provide essential services and support to those in need. We are deeply grateful to all of our donors for their kindness and generosity, and we remain committed to using their contributions to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.
LAMBERTS BAY FARMER'S MARKET & ALPHEN CRAFT MARKET
We have a stand and adoption days at the Farmers Market at Malkoppan, South of Lamberts Bay, on the last Saturday of every month. We are also at the Alphen Craft Market every last Sunday of the month from October to May.
LEAPS volunteers are on hand to provide information about the adoption process, and to answer any questions potential adopters may have. This initiative not only helps animals find homes, but it also creates awareness about the importance of animal welfare in the community.
You will meet wonderful animal lovers in the Western Cape who are deeply dedicated to saving the lives of animals that almost didn't get a chance for a tomorrow.
We have opportunities for you to help as much as your schedule allows in every area of our organisation.
