Harties Animal Welfare Society
Hartbeespoort Animal Welfare Society (HAWS) is an independent, registered non-profit organization serving the community of Brits, Hartbeespoort and surrounding areas. Since 2000 they have provided welfare services for abandoned, neglected and abused pets, farm animals and wildlife.
They operate their kennel and cattery in Hartbeespoort, (Rietfontein area), where they provide a home for up to 80 dogs and 30 cats, veterinary treatment for sick and injured animals, and a re-homing service
They have 6 full-time staff who are helped by a group of volunteers, all of whom are dedicated to alleviate the suffering of sick, neglected and abandoned animals.
HAWS has begun to make inroads into becoming far more pro-active in getting to the root cause of the overpopulation of domestic animals in our area, this being unsterilized animals. It is HAWS intention to expand in this direction as far as available funds will allow. Reducing the amount of unwanted litters is the best way in which to address the welfare of animals in our area and to stem the tide of animals that are brought into our facility for re-homing, as a result of abandonment, neglect or abuse.
As they do not receive government assistance, their operation has to be funded entirely by voluntary donations and fundraising,
If you are able to assist them in any way please contact the shelter.
