Noni our vet, Michael, Dog
and Michael's father
There is a misconception that the KSPCA only does rehoming. As many who work with us know this is not the case...
Meet Michael and Dog. Michael is 6 years old and lives on the edges of the Kibera slum in Nairobi and Dog is his 2 year old pet.
We received a call of a dog that had been snared in a barbed wire fence and had been there for 2 days. At the time we were unaware that Dog belonged to anyone and our investigator went out on the rescue.
Having cut Dog out of the fence it was realized that his back leg was so damaged it had to be removed so he was taken back to the KSPCA and the operation undertaken by Noni – our vet.
Through kind neighbours, Michael found out what had happened to Dog and his parents contacted us to let. Michael and Dog were reunited and he came to visit Dog during his recovery period.
Dog is now back at home with Michael and we at the KSPCA are delighted!
