Together, We Made It Matter: A year of education, compassion and community

As we reflect on the year as it draws to a close, one truth stands clear: None of what we achieved this year could have happened without you!

Real change is never the work of one – it is built with many hands, each giving what they can.

At Woodrock, we are alive to the power of people taking up space and showing up with heart. Thank you to our volunteers and donors for helping us turn small acts of care into life-changing moments for animals and the people who love them.

EDUCATION OUTREACH

From animal welfare to responsible pet ownership, you helped us plant seeds of compassion in schools and communities across Gauteng.

VOLUNTEERS — OUR HEARTBEAT

From March (when our Google registration form launched) to date:

Total volunteer registrations: 1,575

Volunteers completing community service hours: 1,324

Morning helpers, weekend walkers, enrichment angels — your hands, hearts and time have transformed lives.

OUR FOSTERS — THE UNSUNG HEROES

Adult Dog Fosters

Frightened or withdrawn dogs have been given the chance of a home, learn structure, receive love, and remember that they matter thanks to you!

Puppy & Bottle-Baby Fosters

Sleepless nights, bottle feeds, cleaning, worry and joy – we are grateful for your help in building well-rounded dogs and cats with magic first experiences!

Thank you for helping them transition into forever families.

Home Checkers

As our final voice for every dog and cat going into a home, you ensure safety, readiness and fit - and we cannot do a single ethical adoption without you!
