PS.

In the process they also rescue township animals and put in a huge effort to find homes for these often abused dogs and cats. Please look at the CSI Facebook page to see more.
Recently CSI had a large vet bill for two of these adopted dogs – Beer and Chico – and Erma personally paid R 4 000 towards a total of almost R10,000.00
Frans Boekkooi, a well-known sculptor from Nieu Bethesda, and dad of a few CSI rescues, is donating the sculpture in order to raise funds towards these bills.
