The Animal Welfare Society Helderberg (AWS Helderberg) is a registered Non-Profit Organisation (Reg No: 002-963 N.P.O).
Our dedicated team includes 26 paid staff members and a small group of volunteers who assist with dog exercise and the operation of our charity shop, the Jumble Inn. Our administrative office and charity shop are located at 42 Reitz Street, Somerset West. All income from the shop and our biannual bazaars directly supports the Society's running costs.
Our kennels, located in Gordon’s Bay, work tirelessly to rehome many cats and dogs.
AWS Helderberg also operates a mobile clinic serving Macassar, Eerste River, Tarentaal Plaas, Nomzamo, and Sir Lowry’s Pass. At these clinics, dogs are dipped for ticks and fleas, dewormed, inoculated, treated for mange, and owners receive valuable advice. Stray animals are collected and taken to our kennels, where we strive to find them new homes.
A key focus for AWS Helderberg is sterilization, as it significantly reduces the number of animals we need to euthanize. We collect animals, sterilize them, and return them to their owners whenever possible.
