In January 2026, Sidewalk Specials started running Emergency Clinics alongside our Sterilisation Clinics ๐
The sheer amount of injured, sick and dying animals we were dealing with had made using private vet practices financially unsustainable ๐ซ
Instead Sidewalk Specials purchased medicines at cost, collected our hero vets at the crack of dawn and created an accessible, weekly veterinary clinic in the De Doorns township ๐๐ป
Since January 2026, Sidewalk Specials clinic has completed 592 sterilisations and treated 404 emergency cases, including:
โ 111 TVT chemotherapy treatments ๐
โ 86 surgeries: stab wounds, dog fights, motor vehicle accidents, removal of cancerous tumours, injuries caused by chains and botched tail removals โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
โ 89 treatments for chronic tick bite fever, burns, eye and ear infections.
โ 14 parvo virus cases โค๏ธ
โ 69 euthanasias for dogs too old/sick to be saved, sparing them slow and potentially painful deaths ๐
Now, with inflation rising and donations dropping, the future of our emergency clinic is hanging in the balanceโฆ๐ฅ
Sidewalk Specials needs to raise approx R250,000 ($15,382/ โฌ13,291/ ยฃ11,372) in order to run the last twenty emergency clinics of 2026โฆ
