Making a Positive Local Impact
Osprey is a proud supporter of the following 2 charities:
SANParks K9 Project Watchdog
Introducing a Rhino’s best friend.
Poaching in our national parks remains a major conservation challenge in South Africa. The K9 Anti-
Poaching Unit is considered a game changer in the Kruger National Park. During 2017, all encounters
with poachers that involved dogs resulted in arrests.
Well-trained dogs, including breeds such as Belgian Shepherd (or Malinois) and Bloodhound-Doberman
crossbreeds, are perfectly suited to track poachers in the field and detect firearms, ammunition and
wildlife products that enter and exit through park gates. These remarkable dogs follow scents which may
be hours old over impressive distances. Tracker dogs are deployed by helicopter or vehicle and operate
throughout the Park.
SPCA Randburg
The Randburg SPCA is a registered, non-profit organization based in Northriding, Randburg. They receive no funding from Government whatsoever.
The SPCA Randburg’s main objectives focus on animal welfare through responsible pet adoption, rescue, and care. They take in stray, unwanted, and lost animals, operate large and small animal pounds, and rescue both domestic and wild animals and birds. All adopted animals are healthy, sterilised, and placed in carefully screened, permanent homes.
They also work actively to prevent animal cruelty through proactive and reactive investigations, inspections of animal-related establishments, and responding to cruelty complaints. In addition, the SPCA Randburg is committed to education through school programs and community outreach to promote responsible animal care and welfare.
