Middelburg Observer supports the SPCA
Are you convinced that your doggy is the prettiest pooch or that your cat is the quirkiest kitty? Do you find your pet is so ugly that they're actually adorable?
Then you should enter our Cutest vs Ugliest Pet Photo Competition and support the Middelburg SPCA!
To enter, a cash donation of R50 or more, or pet supplies (such as food, blankets, toys and treats) can be dropped off at the Middelburg Observer's office (41 Meyer Street). Just ask for Leana.
Submit your information, as well as your pet's information, and send a photo of your pet alongside the reference number provided upon donation to leana@
The competition will be voted on by the public, with more information to follow.
All photo competition entries close on July 18.
SPCA Market Day
We know the Middelburg SPCA is relying heavily on our community's support, and if you can't enter the Cutest vs Ugliest Pet Photo Competition, there are other ways you can help.
The SPCA is hosting a market day this Saturday with plenty of entertainment for the whole family.
The market day will be taking place from 08:00 to 13:00 at the Middelburg SPCA, and entry is free!
Local artists will be performing live for your own entertainment, and car enthusiasts can look forward to the vintage car display and sound show, as well as a show and shine.
Over 35 stalls will be available, each offering a variety of unique products, including home-made and hand-made goods.
Plenty of food stalls will also supply a variety of cuisines.
Keep a lookout for Paw Patrol and the Middelburg SPCA convoy, which will be driving through town to grab your attention.
