Mdzananda animal clinic
Khayelitsha animal clinic records rise in abandoned pets this festive season
The Mdzananda Animal Clinic in Khayelitsha has received 25 dogs and 32 cats during this period alone.
The organisation says the canine parvovirus is a highly contagious illness that affects dogs.
Manono Makhaphela told workers at the school in 2011 to bury the dog he regarded as a nuisance.
The dog, which was buried alive in Khayelitsha, is still recovering emotionally.
