Helping Wollies to take care of the animals that have no one else
Jacaranda FM's Good Morning Angels assists Wollies Animal Shelter with the funds needed to cover its vet bill, as well as other needs to keep the animals safe and cared for.
Wollies Animal Shelter has been a bastion of animal welfare in greater Pretoria for three decades. At the helm is Cilla Trexler, who has grown the shelter while loving and caring for all the animals with compassion, dedication and tireless fundraising.
Wollies currently has 700 dogs and 300 cats in its care, a mammoth task that Cilla and her team take on with grace.
It has been tough over the years, but economic conditions have made things even harder. More animals are coming to the shelter because owners are no longer able to afford to care for their pets, while fewer donations are coming in.
To add to this, Cilla’s health has been a concern for a few years. In fact, she is currently in hospital for a procedure and tests.
Her husband, Joachim, is her rock. He was the one who built the Wollies shelter 30 years ago to help his wife take on the massive task of caring for abandoned, unwanted and abused dogs and cats.

ORIGINAL REQUEST:
Help Us Give the Animals at Wollies Animal Project the Care They Deserve
Wollies Animal Project is home to hundreds of animals who depend on the kindness of people to survive. At the moment, there are approximately 700 dogs and 400 cats who need food, care, warmth and safe shelter.
That is more than 1,100 animals relying on the project every single day.
We are starting this fundraiser because these animals deserve a chance at a better life. Many have already experienced neglect, abandonment or difficult circumstances. They now have a safe place where they can be cared for, but keeping so many animals fed and properly sheltered is an enormous challenge.
Our goal is to raise funds to help provide much-needed food and improve the animals' shelter and living conditions. Every donation, no matter how big or small, can make a real difference.
Your contribution will help us:
- Provide nutritious food for the dogs
- Provide food for the cats
- Improve and repair shelters
- Create safer, warmer and more weatherproof spaces
- Give these animals the comfort and care they desperately need
When you donate, you aren't just giving money. You are helping to fill a food bowl, provide a safe place to sleep and give an animal hope.
With approximately 1,100 animals depending on Wollies Animal Project, every bit of support matters.
If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser with your friends, family and on social media. A share could reach someone who is able to help.
Together, we can make sure these animals don't go without the food and shelter they need.
Thank you for caring, donating and helping us give these beautiful animals the life they deserve.
