LEAPS Dog Adoption Day at the Kirstenbosch Sunday Market

Meet four-legged furry friends looking for a loving home

Lamberts and Elands Animal Protection Services (LEAPS) will be hosting its first Adoption Day of the season on Sunday, 1 October 2017 at the Kirstenbosch Sunday Market. Rock up and meet adorable pooches in need of a permanent, loving home. You may decide to adopt a furry friend, otherwise you’ll be more than welcome to just pop by and say hi.

As well as appealing to potential dog owners, LEAPS also welcomes anyone to get involved and help out on the day by lending a loving hand to the dogs. This pup-devoted NGO relies solely on volunteers so if you’re not looking to adopt, perhaps you could consider doing that instead. The market is sure to be buzzing and busy with a great atmosphere; all in all, it’s a great way to spend a Sunday.

LEAPS does its work primarily in the townships of Elands Bay and Lamberts Bay, which are in the Cederberg municipality. Its members go door-to-door working to educate pet owners in the areas on how they can best care for their pets. As well as rescuing hundreds of abused or homeless pets, providing shelter, food, veterinary care and love, LEAPS organisers fundraisers for sterilisation along with feeding and sheltering of animals. Where there are injured or sick pets, LEAPS transports them to the nearest vet which is a staggering 90km away. As well as volunteers, donations are also needed.

Spending some time around the dogs comes with the added bonus of visiting the leisurely outdoor market in the gorgeous Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. Stroll around, enjoy the live jazz and take in the fresh air as you walk through the multitude of stalls. There’ll be a wine, craft beer bar and plenty of edible goodies to keep you going. The market is family-friendly and there are even pony rides for the children.

Looking for more ways to give back to a worthy cause, to help both animals and humans? There are plenty of NGOs in Cape Town where you can volunteer. If you don’t have the time to become a volunteer though, along with considering adopting a pet, there are lots of small things you can do to actually help a homeless person.
