On Friday 17 Mey 2024 the PBFSA, in collaboration with the City of Tshwane Health Department, hosted the 2nd Paws for Wellness Education Campaign at Olievenhoutbosch Primary School, in Olievenhoutbosch Centurion.

A special thanks to Super Spar Mall@55 and other private partners in the Olievenhoutbosch Community who sponsored so generously to make the day successful. A big shout out to the K9 Gang members from Vosloorus for lending a helping hand on the day – you guys rocked! Thank you to all the learners who welcomed us into their school and for participating with so much excitement and eagerness to learn! Thank you to all role players.
Why microchip my dog?
Microchipping your dog is a reliable way to ensure their identification and increase the chances of them being returned to you if they ever get lost. It’s a simple procedure that can provide peace of mind knowing that your furry friend has a permanent form of identification. Microchip identification is a legally recognised proof of ownership. Keeping the microchip information up-to-date with your contact details strengthens your legal claim to ownership if any dispute arises.
PBFSA is busy with ongoing Educational Outreaches
Partnering with us for Educational Material is Hero-in-My-Hood: “Empathy leads to Compassion” “Pit Bull educational material now in Sepedi – Imagine receiving your primary education in a second language: so much information is lost when children are not taught in their your mother tongue. Hero aims to be as inclusive as possible, which is why much of our humane educational material is available in SEVEN South African languages. Hopefully we can add yet another, Tshivenda, by year end. The Pit Bull Federation of SA approached us for some educational material for a up-coming educational event in Gauteng. The children at the host school speak predominately isiZulu and Sepedi. Our Pit Bull brochure and poster had been translated into Afrikaans, isiXhosa, Sesotho and isiZulu. Luckily, we managed to get a Sepedi translation done, and made it to the printer, and the event, in record time!” We have also had the Five Freedoms, Animals have feelings, and Lucky’s pet care posters translated into Sepedi. These will be up on our website soon.” THANK YOU! & A big shout out to Hero-in-My-Hood for this educational material!! www/hero-in-my-hood/pit-bull-education/ If you want to get involved with these PBFSA EDUCATIONAL OUTREACHES contact us!
