Adult dogs looking for forever homes (over 1 year)

Dexter (m) Dexter is a happy chappie he is loving and friendly and just
wants attention, but is never pushy. He is submissive, but
protective of any other dogs that come too close to his
family. He plays at the park every day and prefers smaller
dogs to the larger ones. The ABSOLUTE highlight of his day
is mealtime. He has this little ritual he runs down the stairs
then back up and down again and finally back up and you
dont even need to tell him to sit, he has a smile on his face,
his tail is wagging and tongue hanging out. He doesnt like
eggs, but loves chicken/beef/lamb/FOOD J He is very laid
back, knows how to walk on the lead. He never knew what
playtime was or what a ball was used for slowly he is
learning to play. Its all about patience. He is not a barker, but
doesnt like people walking past. He knows who friends are
and he runs up and down howling his head off until they come
inside. He is fine to leave at home with a doggy friend, but will
cry his eyes out if you leave him alone. He is still learning that
you have to SIT in the car, but at least he now gets into it. He
is terrified if you shout, it doesnt have to be at him, but he
runs off with his tail between his legs. He doesnt have any
problem with thunder or fireworks. He favorite spots are In the
flowerbeds, in the sand, anywhere there isnt grass. I keep
telling him he lives in the suburbs now, he cant be a township
dog anymore J Oh and he just LOVES his kennel. Pushed
the pillow out of it and just wants to sleep on the carpet.

Marie (f)
Marie is a sweet and loyal companion who was thrown out
by her owner in Orange Farm township after she had
puppies as she wasnt needed anymore. All her puppies
died except for one. Marie's ears had been cropped, she
had no confidence, she did not trust humans at all (we
can't blame her) and she had shut down. Slowly with the
help of other dogs, she learnt to trust and is now an
incredibly loving and loyal dog. Marie is around 3 years
old and she is a Sharpei cross (about the size of a staffie).
Marie is a very special dog and she is looking for a very
special family. You see, Marie has found her passion in
life, she is a traveler. Her eyes light up when she knows
she is going on a walk or an outing, whether it be to the
forest, the park or to dullstroom for a weekend break with
her foster mom. She is very good in the car, on lead and
in public places, the perfect little lady. You can literally
take her anywhere. She also makes an excellent running
partner.
Marie is great with other dogs and children but not great
with cats. She is sometimes wary of strangers and may
bark but has never shown a sign of aggression. She just
takes a while to trust a person. Marie loves playing with
other dogs but she does like to rough and tumble so tiny
dogs would not make good playmates for her (although
she is perfectly fine with all dogs).
Our dream home for Marie would be with an active
person/ family who includes their dog in fun activities like
outings/ holidays.
Please email lauraw.pets@gmail.com if you would like to
meet Marie, who is Johannesburg based.

It was the day before Christmas when received a call
Milo (m) from Terry and Danger (now Milo) owners stating they
were no longer wanted because they have ticks. We
have known this little furry family since Danger was just
a pup. We treated both dogs at our vet every time they
were sick at no cost to the owners, sterilized them and
gave two huge kennels to them, took food on a regular
basis and each year a Christmas box all at no cost to
the owners.
Danger (now milo) was lucky enough to find himself an
amazing foster home but is looking for a permanent
family to give him the home he's always longed for. His
foster mom has this to say about him: When this little
white dog came to my house for the first time, he was
cautious and nervous. He seemed to feel out of place-
generally keeping to himself, not knowing where he is
allowed to be or what he is allowed to do.

But its been about a month and Ive seen how he has changed and grown.He has made good
friends with our four dogs (2 Golden Retrievers- 1 male and 1 female. And 2 Yorkshire Terriers,
both males). So he is good with small and big dogs, males and females. He was exposed to little
children of age 2 and 5, and while a bit baffled by the loud noises they could sometimes make, he
was very comfortable around them. He is also good with cats. His intelligence is remarkable,
learning very quickly how things work in our household and what is expected of him. He gets very
excited about food, and while he is not aggressive at all, he struggles a little bit with the concept
of your turn, now your turn and now your turn but hes starting to grasp it. I am proud to say I
have taught him to sit with a hand motion and command. While he has never growled at people,
he has growled at our dogs when they came too close to his food. I think this was just to tell them
that it is his food, and our dogs backed off and that was that.He is very loving- happiest when
close to you. He loves his new bed and sleeps on it next to your couch for hours. He can also be
playful and energetic at other times. He loves going for walks. When you pet him he leans into
your touch, clearly seeking the contact. He loves kisses and cuddles. Hes always so happy to
see you. If he goes into a home with other dogs, he just needs to be shown that all the dogs will
get attention so that he doesnt get jealous.Our Golden Retrievers sleep downstairs in the back
kitchen on their beds. He hated being kept in there with them to sleep at night. I think he gets
nervous when closed into a room. But he has calmed down a lot and seems to have accepted
that the kitchen is where he sleeps and he will be let out again in the morning.His name when he
came to us was Danger, but we felt that this name didnt suit him at all. His loving, playful nature
doesnt fit with it. So my family and I changed it to Milo. He now responds to it and we feel it is
perfect for him. He would be a wonderful addition to any family and if I didnt have four dogs
already I would keep him myselfIf you can help please email jhb@pets.org.za

Shandy (m)
Shandy is the MOST incredible and loving dog who
has been bounced around from pillar to post since
he was a small boy. When he first came into our
care he was tired, sick, neglected and had one of
the worst cases of mange we had ever seen.
However, under the love and care of his foster mom
he emerged as a happy, playful and sweet natured
puppy. The day he found a home we were over the
moon for him and thought he had found his happily-
ever-after. Unfortunately it did not turn out like that
and he was returned to us as a fully grown boy - for
hurting a cat, as a pup months earlier. We were a
bit nervous about the dog he might have become -
growing up in a not so ideal environment but we
need not have worried.

Shandy is stil OUR Shandy. The same loving, sweet natured, sociable boy we love and
remember. His journey is this - from township, to foster care, to being adopted, to being
returned, into private kennels while we looked for a foster home, back into foster care...and
there he sits...roughly 12 months later...still waiting for his FOREVER home. Shandy has done
NOTHING to deserve the treatment he received in the township nor from the family that
previously adopted him! Shandy has strong German Shepherd traits and just LOVES everyone
he meets. He is only about a year and a half and wants to play and snuggle all the time. He is
super affectionate and brilliant with kids! He's also got loads of energy and enjoys chasing
balls and bringing them back to you. He's extremely intelligent and learns new commands very
quickly. He is also alert and is always the first one to notice someone at the gate or something
unusual. Shandy is great with other dogs but shouldn't be with smaller dogs in a home
environment. He can jump though so high walls would be a must for him. His ideal home
would be a secure home with one or 2 other medium sized dogs (knee height) that are friendly
and easy going. A family that will enjoy doing things with him is a must. Shandy loves going on
walks and playing rough and tumble with other dogs. He is very well housetrained and has no
food aggression. He really is the ideal big dog to take on runs with you in the park and have as
a companion at home. Unfortunately he is not good with cats. But other than that - he's pretty
darn close to perfect. He has so much love to give and honestly is the perfect family dog! So
well adjusted! Our one dream would be to see him happy and settled in a home that will love
him and treasure him FOREVER. Please if you are looking for an overall, well rounded dog -
consider adopting Shandy. Email jhb@pets.org.za to apply.

Barney (m) Animals are truly remarkable creatures and never

cease to amaze us. Just 1 month after being scolded
with boiling water, this boy has made a full recovery
both physically and emotionally. When we first got him
he was petrified of people. Now he can't get enough of
being loved and cuddled and will demand attention
even nibbling on you to get you to notice him. He is
good with other dogs of medium size and loves to play
but would be better suited to a medium size, female.
He shouldn't be with any cats, birds or small dogs as
he has a high prey drive.
It is truly astounding to observe how forgiving a dog is.
They live in the moment and don't hold grudges. Even
though this boy suffered extreme abuse he just wants
to be loved by anyone who will show him attention.
He's approximately 1 year old. Please can everyone
share so he can find his forever home.

Please email jhb@pets.org,za if you are interested in

adopting him.

Solly (m)

Solly is a very special dog to us. This gorgeous boy had a

very difficult life in the township and came to us extremely
scared of anything and everything. Solly was adopted to the
most incredible home who rehabilitated him. He is now more
confident and stable than ever before. Unfortunately Solly
and another dog in the family were not getting along and this
has caused multiple fights, the last one being very serious.
After consulting a Behaviourist we all agreed that rehoming
him would be best for his safety. He has been in foster care
since the incident in December.
Solly has always been an extremely loving dog. He loves
nothing better than tummy tickles and lying on your lap. He is
excellent with other dogs but we feel he is more suited to a
home with a female dog either his size or smaller. A small
breed submissive male would also be a good match. He is
also good with cats. He hasn't grown up with children so we
don't know how he will be with them in a home environment.
Solly has OCD(obsessive compulsive disorder) which we
think may have been a coping mechanism he used to deal
with the stresses he endured during his puppyhood. He is
currently on medication that works very well and he will need
this for the rest of his life. He is a normal happy dog on it and
we want him to stay that way, he hardly ever shows repetitive
behaviours since he has been on it. The medication is around
R120 per month.
Solly needs a secure yard as he has a history of jumping
fences. We also want him to have a doggy friend as he loves
to play and is very gentle and sweet. He needs a big yard or
a home committed to exercising him every day as he is
energetic. Solly is a great guard dog and will bark at people
on the other side of a gate or fence if he can see them. He is
toilet trained, well mannered and very loyal to his family. He
is a really great companion to have.
To adopt Solly please email lauraw.pets@gmail.com

Eliot (m) LOOKING FOR A FOSTER/FOREVER HOME

Eliot is a Doberman, about 3 years old who is longing for a

forever home to call his own. He loves attention and is very
affectionate & loving but is very timid and shy and has a soft &
quiet demeanor. Elliot came from a home In the township
where his 2 of his siblings were poisoned and died in May. His
owner felt he could self medicate the dogs by giving them
brandy. By the time we were alerted the dogs had to be
humanely euthanized as their suffering was too extreme. It
wasn't safe for Eliot to remain in the township where he could
suffer a similar fate and so he came into our care. He loves to
go for walks and receive lots of loves and belly rubs. He is
very loyal and bonds with people quickly. He would like a
home where he can be the only fur kid and get all the love and
spoils for himself.

Roxy (f)
LOOKING FOR A FOSTER/FOREVER HOME

Roxy has never been wanted, she was surrendered because

she was pregnant. Roxy's puppies, were all so beautiful that
they were adopted immediately but she remained unwanted.
She has been overlooked time and time again because she's
not a specific breed or doesn't have the right "look". But it's not
about that! This gentle girl, as with most of our rescues, has a
heart of pure gold! Loving, devoted and eager to please. She
just needs someone who will see into her gentle soul and give
her the love she has deserves. She is good with other dogs
and loves to play. She is also obsessed with toys and runs
around gathering them all up and lying with them as if they
her only worldly possessions. Can be tested with cats. If you
are willing to open up your heart and welcome her into your
home (as a foster parent or forever home), so she can
experience a nice warm bed to sleep in and what it is to be
loved email glendapickering@gmail.com or call 082 901 0763.

It was the day before Christmas when received a call from

Terry (f) Terry and Danger (now Milo) owners stating they were no
longer wanted because they have ticks. We have known
this little furry family since Danger was just a pup. We
treated both dogs at our vet every time they were sick at
no cost to the owners, sterilized them and gave two huge
kennels to them, took food on a regular basis and each
year a Christmas box all at no cost to the owners. To
make matters worse they sold the kennels we gave them.
We couldn't abandon this little family we had known for so
long and so we collected them on the 24 December 2016.
After being in out camp for 6 months, Terry was lucky
enough to find herself an amazing foster home a month
ago but is now looking for a permanent family to give her
the home she's always longed for.
Terry is doing well in her foster home. She was a bit
nervous and shy at first but her confidence is gaining. She
loves her walks and mostly listens and has started inviting
her foster family to play - the funniest sight. She eats
amazingly fast and dances for her food. She gets on well
with her foster families other 4 dogs and plays nicely with
their smaller dog. She doesn't have an aggressive bone in
her body.

Ranger (m) Ranger is a boy EXTREMELY special to us. Why you may
ask? Because he was the second dog we ever helped in
the township since PETS JHB began 5 years ago. Every
so often, we would go visit him to see how he's doing, take
him a Christmas box and for a few minutes give him the
love he deserves. It didn't matter how long we hadn't seen
him for- each time we went back he remembered us. An
animal never forgets those who show them kindness.
Each time we would go- our stomach would knot as we
didn't even know if he would still be alive. Last week we
decided to go see him again. When we finally found him
again- he was chained up behind the shack in a narrow
ally. No water, bowls we had given crusted with mud, an
empty petrol container lying in his kennel, blankets filthy.
We broke down and cried. The lady at the house came out
to see who this strange person was hugging this dog and
sobbing uncontrollably. We found out from her his owner
moved to Klerksdorp and left him behind and she couldn't
afford to feed him. His owner had never really cared for
him. Merely keeping him so he would have a dog that
would bark if an intruder came in. His whole life he has
lived on a chain and been out of sight and out of mind. We
asked her if we could have him and she agreed. We
couldn't get the chain off him so we took the entire collar
off. He's been chained for 5 years! He wasted no time in
running straight to the car and climbing in. He's safe now.
Finally!

Ranger is such a loving and affectionate dog who is great

with people and other dogs. He is so so happy to FINALLY
be out of the township and cant stop smiling. His smile is
so big it reaches from ear to ear. Our only regret is it took
us 5 years to get him. Ranger deserves an incredible
family that will shower him with love and show him all the
wonderful things life has to offer. He must sleep inside and
must have another dog friend as a companion.

Bonnie (f) & Clyde (m) Our one wish would be to find this amazing, gorgeous,
loving sibling duo their happily ever after and home to
call their own before Christmas. They deserve to spend
a real Christmas with their very own family. We have
had them in foster care for 8 months and no one has
ever applied to adopt them and we simply cannot
understand why.
They are about a year old and must be rehomed
together. Apart from being brother and sister they are
the very best of friends who do everything together and
are never far apart from one another. They have had to
have each others backs their whole lives. Clyde is an
extrovert with other dogs but shyer around humans!
He's outgoing and always game for whatever's going
on. He loves playing soccer and trips to the park,
rolling in the autumn leaves and paddling in dams and
mud! He is also very good in the car. He looks like a
little fox with this tiny face and fluffy mane. He is too
pretty to be a boy! Bonnie is not as outgoing as her
brother but she is extremely affectionate and loving.
She is a real princess and really loves the comforts of
life like relaxing on the couch and on a picnic blanket
outside. Both are great with other dogs and love to
play. They are surrounded by 30 other dogs daily and
so are used to dogs of all shapes and sizes. They fill
our lives with laughter and fun and are guaranteed to
bring you years of love, laughter and joy. Please
consider giving this little sibling pair the forever home
they deserve they have so much love to give!

Taffy (f) You have to wonder what this beautiful girl has endured in
her short life. She is pretty, intelligent and loves to play with
the other dogs, especially tug of war and chasing each
other around the garden.

But she is so frightened of humans. Its evident in her short

life she experienced severe abuse at one stage or another
and she is petrified of loud noises, loud voices, sudden
movement, small children, the lead and the car.

She needs a quiet and stable home with someone who is

patient and kind and who will be excited and encouraging
with every baby step that she accomplishes. She also
needs to find a home with someone who works from home
and is at home most of the day.

When Taffy first arrived at her foster home, she found a

small place in the far corner of the garden to hide, where
she curled up in a little ball and just stayed there for the
better part of the day. She wouldn't make eye contact and if
you tried touch her she will just freeze. But she never
showed any aggression.

With patience and kindness and taking it slowly she slowly

began to come out of her shell. Its taken her a good 2
weeks to adjust in her foster home but she is finally happy
and settled.

The same will happen when she goes to her new home, as
she is petrified of changes in her environment and new
people but with patience, understanding and a lot of TLC
she will become just as comfortable as she is in her foster
home now. It just takes her a week or 2.

When she does start to trust you, it is the most rewarding

feeling in the world. She is playful and loves being cuddled
and dances on her back feet when you get home, it is very
rewarding for us to see and experience. You can then see
how grateful she is for the love she is getting. The world has
been so cruel to her, she has to have someone teach her
how to be a puppy again - and she's getting there :-)
She needs to go to a very patient family with other social
dogs (as the bonding with other dogs and seeing them
relaxed and happy helps her to come out of her shell) and
no children. She also needs an extremely secure home.

Meli (f) LOOKING FOR A FOSTER/FOREVER HOME

Meli (meaning honey) is as sweet as her name suggests!

We think Meli must have been left behind when her
owners relocated or she might have got lost as we found
her sitting outside our shelter in the township one sunny
day. Meli obviously had nowhere to go as she sat outside
our cages for more than a week before we realized that
she needed our help and opened the door and let her in

Meli is a friendly little girl with a huge personality who

loves to play with other dogs. She gets on with most
dogs but doesnt like to share her food as she didnt have
much in the township but may change when she realizes
that each meal is not her last, she is good with people
and children and is the life and soul of any party

Meli is between 2 and 3 years old, she can be quiet when

you want her to be but really enjoys playing and being
busy and active, she doesnt want to get lost or left
behind again so she always stays close and is attentive.
Meli has limitless love to give to someone who will love
her.

Please contact Glenda if you are interested in adopting

or fostering her. Email glendapickering@gmail.com or

Mouse (m) Mouse was knocked over by a "hit and run" driver in
Orange Farm and left injured badly by the roadside,
nobody helped him and he was left lying there for several
days, luckily he was able to drag himself home where his
owner discovered that a hind leg was broken, we were
alerted to Mouses' injury and went to fetch hiim The head
of Mouses' femur had been broken off, fortunately the vet
was able to save his leg, he now walks with a limp that will
improve as his muscles strengthen with time and exercise
we are told.
Mouse is now fostered by a lady that teaches many
disciplines in the " Arts" and is constantly meeting new
people as they come and go for their lessons, he gets on
with old and young alike, everybody loves him as he has
become quite a character, he is good with other dogs and
loves going for walks and socializing in the park, Mouse
would fit in everywhere as he is a the perfect family dog.

Bailey (m)
We rescued Bailey early in December from Orange
Farm Township. He had been burnt with boiling oil and
was on severe pain. On top of that he had a type of
cancer called TVT which is a sexually transmitted form
of cancer common to dogs who are unsterilized! His
wounds are STILL healing but he is doing well and we
are proud to say he is now cancer free! Sadly as is
often the case - and in Bailey's case - when we first
rescued him - the post about his injuries went viral with
everyone wanting to help and now that he is almost
back to normal - no one is interested anymore:( This
boy is such an incredible soul who has fought long and
hard to survive and now really needs our help more
than ever so he can finally find a loving family to start
over in! BAILEY stands for: B - Beautiful Nature A -
Acquescent I - Intelligent L - Loving and Loyal Y -
Yearns for love There just aren't enough words to
describe this beautiful soul. He is calm, placid, and
loves to play and run! Bailey is so smart - he has learnt
how to sit and is almost able to give you his paw in just
2 weeks. He is very obedient and hardly ever
misbehaves. The most amazing thing about Bailey is
how much love he wants from humans considering
what he has endured. He is great with children and
dogs, but not the best with cats. If you give Bailey
loves then nothing else in this world matters. And his is
a BIG Cuddler! What this boy needs most now is a
home to call his own. He didn't fight so hard to survive
for his story to not have an incredible ending. Please
email jhb@pets.org.za to apply to adopt him.

Twiggy (f) LOOKING FOR A FOSTER/FOREVER HOME

Chris Hani, Twiggy and Peta became homeless when their

owner managed to escspe from her alcoholic, abusive
husband with her 2 children, sadly having to leave her 3
dogs at the mercy of her husband. She was very terrified
that her dogs would be abused and begged us to take them
which we did and they are now safe at our camp in the
township.

Twiggy is called Twiggy because she was so thin when she

gave birth to her babies that we kept her for several weeks
to help her to recover from their birth. Twiggy was then
sterilized, her puppies were homed and she went back to
the township where she has been until we fetched her with
Peta and Chris Hani. She is very friendly and gets on well
with people but is better as an only dog unless she is with
her brother Chris Hani.

adopting her. Email glendapickering@gmail.com or call 082

Chris Hani (m) LOOKING FOR A FOSTER/FOREVER HOME

Chris Hani, Twiggy and Peta became homeless when their

owner managed to escspe from her alcoholic, abusive
husband with her 2 children, sadly having to leave her 3
dogs at the mercy of her husband. She was very terrified
that her dogs would be abused and begged us to take them
which we did and they are now safe at our camp in the
township.

Chris Hani is truly a magnificent cross German Shepherd

dog, he is super friendly and is full of love and kisses, he
wants to be wanted, to be loved and loves back with so
much energy. He is about 3 years old and has spent most of
his life, like Peta, chained up while his owner was working.
He is good with other dogs but has not been tested with cats
yet. He is eager to please and learns quickly.

Please contact Glenda if you are interested in fostering or

adopting him. Email glendapickering@gmail.com or call 082

Rebecca (f)

Hi, My name is Rebecca, people call me Becka for short. I am a mix breed around 4/5 years
old

3 years ago I was rescued from a township called orange farm after I was hit by a car. I
recovered well and then I was rehomed to a lovely family who showed me what it was like to
be loved. Although I was grateful I had to share all this new found love with 2 other dogs and
a child, this made me sad. I tried my best to share but in the end I realized it's just not in my
nature. I've had years of being ignored and neglected and now all I want is love, all to
myself.

I need a home where I don't have to compete for attention with other animals or children.
Kids over 10 are allowed because I like attention from them as well. One other male dog
would be ok as long as my owner teaches me that I'm not the boss. I enjoy having a social
life and I love trips to the park to meet new Doggy friends and sprint around. Even though I
don't like living with other dogs or kids, I am ok with them outside my home. I walk really well
on lead as well.

My previous family are so sad to let me go because they say I really am a special dog who is
so loyal and loving as well as well behaved. I guess we were just not the right match, I know
my perfect family are out there.... I just need some help finding them. Please share my story
and help me find my forever home so I can start loving again

I am currently in a temporary Foster home that can only keep me until the end of the week,
as I had to leave my previous home after arguments with my sister, we decided we don't like
each other anymore. I urgently need to find a home as I will be going to kennels on Friday if I
don't! And I really don't want to go there :(

Please email lauraw.pets@gmail.com if you can take me in

Puppy (m) Puppy is a 2 year old male, Medium size Mix breed with
strong sitehound genes. He has been in foster care for
over a year now and is desperately looking for a special
family to adopt him.
Puppy's name describes his personality to a T as he
has a very playful, puppy-like nature still and he is super
cute. His favourite activities are running, running, and
running. He is very fast & agile and has a
whippet/sitehound build. He is now gate trained and no
longer wants to, or tries to, run out and when the gate is
open he stands nicely out the way and waits for the cars
to stop and the gate to close. He is also now fully house
trained and very obedient. He is food orientated (you
can get him to do pretty much anything for a treat) and
enjoys chewing his toys (never any shoes or other
items), he really enjoys cuddles and sitting on your lap.
He is extremely affectionate and eager to please. He is
a very willing dog and learns easily. He already does sit,
paw and he dances for his food in the evening. He has
a new found love of trying to catch hadeda's - although
he has not yet been successful. He loves cuddles and
being close to people, sitting on my lap is still his
favourite thing to do. He is good with other animals and
cats but can be territorial with other dogs in the
beginning until his order in the pack is established. He
took a while to understand his house. To apply to adopt
him email jhb@pets.org.za

We got Jessie as a foster about 2 months ago, when she

Jessie (f) arrived you could see she had had a hard life, she was
very scared of people and was very timid.

We introduced her to our pack and she fitted in right

away! In the 2 months we have had her, she has come
out of her shell in heaps and her little personality has
really begun to shine through. She is a very soft natured
dog, and is very social despite her, what we can only
assume, checkered past.

She loves playing with our dogs and absolutely adores

children. She is a happy little soul with not a bad bone in
her body. She has developed the sweetest habit of
literally singing for her food she does the cutest little
bark that ends in a song when she is happy, which is all
of the time!

It has been very rewarding having her around and

watching her starting to love life again anybody that is
able to give Jessie a forever home, will be very lucky and
will have a very loyal friend. Please contact Glenda if you
are interested in adopting her. Email

Please note that all adoptions are pending a home check and there is
an adoption fee of R600 which includes a microchip, deworming, up to
date vaccinations (thereafter is on your own account) and sterilisation
if they are over 6 months. Puppies that are adopted under 6 months
will need to be sterilised when they reach 6 months- this can be done
at your private vet or at one of our vets for an additional R450.

Sterilisation of the dogs is not negotiable as we believe it is unfair to

bring more dogs in to this world while there are so many being put to
sleep because of over population. Furthermore there are health
benefits in sterilising your dog and it can help many avoid behavioural
issues. Sterilisation saves lives!
